Skeletal Muscle Mass Measurement May Predict Risk for Hip Fracture Among Older Men
A team of researchers investigated whether low muscle mass as assessed via D3-creatine dilution may be associated with risk of fracture.
Fracture
Nonoperative Management of Frail Patients With Proximal Femoral Fracture
Investigators assessed nonoperative management vs operative management of proximal femoral fractures in institutionalized frail older patients with limited life expectancy.
First Major Bone Fracture Linked to Risk for Second Fracture in Women
Major osteoporotic fracture and hip fracture are predicted by several measurements. Investigators examined whether recent fractures could also be used to predict future fractures.
Parathyroidectomy Reduces Fractures in Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Osteoporosis can be related to primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in older adults. Researchers studied fracture rates in people with and without parathyroidectomy.
Bisphosphonates and Hip Fracture in People With Osteoporosis or Osteopenia
Researchers investigated whether hip fractures could be prevented with bisphosphonates in people with osteoporosis or osteopenia.
Smoking Increases the Risk of Complications in Bone Fracture Healing
Guidelines for bone fracture management are sparse regarding the effect smoking and alcohol consumption may have on the healing process. Investigators searched for a more definitive analysis.
Mind–Body Exercise Helps Bone Mineral Density in Lumbar Spine and Femoral Neck
Exercise slows bone loss and increases bone density in people at risk for osteoporosis, but which exercises are most effective are unclear. Investigators sought the answer.
Sun-Protective Behaviors Not Linked to Lower BMD, Fracture Risk
Routine sun-protective behaviors is not associated with decreased bone mineral density or increased osteoporotic fracture risk.
Fracture Risk Assessed Among Users of SGLT-2 Inhibitors vs Other Antidiabetic Agents
The study authors conducted a nationwide cohort study that included 137,667 Medicare beneficiaries.
Increasing Dairy Intake can Reduce Falls, Fractures for Seniors
Increasing intake of calcium and protein using dairy foods is associated with a reduction in falls and fractures among institutionalized older adults.
