Muscle Strength, Physical Performance Measures Improve Fracture Risk Prediction in Men
In a plenary poster presentation at ASBMR 2021, researchers determined whether muscle strength and performance measures improved fracture risk prediction in men.
Fracture
Fresh Spine Fractures Diagnosed by Vertebral Radiograph Measurements
Vertebral mobility (V-mobility) has been used to diagnose fresh osteoporotic vertebral fractures and determine or predict bone union by setting cutoff values for these purposes.
Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures Early, Common in Glucocorticoid-Treated Rheumatic Disorders Among Children
Researchers assessed the incidence and predictors of osteoporotic fractures in glucocorticoid-treated rheumatic disorders among children.
Cognitive Decline May Up Bone Loss, Fracture Risk in Older Women
There is a significant association between cognitive decline and both bone loss and fracture risk, independent of aging, in community-dwelling, older women.
Prior Falls, Low Grip Strength, and Elevated HbA1c Predict Fractures in Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes
Researchers identified the clinical characteristics of fragility fractures among older adults with type 2 diabetes, in the Framingham Heart Study.
Bone-Protecting Agents Reduce Treatment-Related Fractures in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
The cumulative incidence of bone fractures was below 5% in BPA recipients.
Second Osteoporotic Fractures Are Common After Index Fractures
With the rate of a second fracture in high-risk patients still unknown, researchers evaluated the recurrence of fx in certain vulnerable subgroups.
Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density Predictive of Fracture Among Women Transitioning to Menopause
The SWAN study assessed associations between demographic and clinical characteristics with risk of fracture in premenopausal and postmenopausal women.
Dietary Fiber Intake Not Associated With Hip Fracture Risk in Older Men
Using the FOS, the FOS Offspring, and CHAMP studies, researchers studied the relationship between dietary fiber and risk for hip fracture in older men.
Any Initial Bone Fracture Increases Risk for More Fractures in Older Women
Postmenopausal women with an initial bone fracture, even in the arm or wrist, have a three to six times higher risk for subsequent bone fractures.
