Women With Anorexia Nervosa at High Risk for Bone Fractures
A study found that patients with anorexia nervosa have a particularly high risk for hip, vertebral, and upper arm fractures.
Fracture
Pheochromocytoma, Paraganglioma May Contribute to Secondary Osteoporosis
Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas may be an important cause of secondary osteoporosis.
History of Falls Predicts Future Fractures in Postmenopausal Women
A history of falls, especially injurious falls, predicts subsequent fractures in postmenopausal women.
Faster Bone Turnover in Menopause Linked to Incident Fracture Risk
Faster increases in bone turnover during the menopausal transition are associated with an increased risk for fracture postmenopause.
Type 2 Diabetes Linked to Higher Risk for Vertebral Fractures
Individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at higher risk for sustaining an incident vertebral fracture (VF) compared with individuals without T2D.
Meta-Analysis: Nonbisphosphonates Reduce Fracture Risk in Osteoporosis
Nonbisphosphonates, including denosumab, raloxifene, romosozumab, and teriparatide, significantly reduce vertebral fractures and benefit femoral neck bone mineral density compared with placebo.
Physical Activity May Lower Postmenopausal Fracture Risk
For postmenopausal women, physical activity is associated with reduced risks for total fracture and hip fracture.
Marked Heterogeneity in Osteoporosis Treatment Preferences Found Among Patients
In patients with osteoporosis, treatment preference varies but is not related to specific patient characteristics.
Medicare Spends More Than $6 Billion on Secondary Fractures
Medicare could save billions of dollars if secondary fractures could be prevented with improved osteoporosis screening.
Inclusion of Additional Clinical Factors Does Not Improve FRAX Performance in Postmenopausal Women
Researchers sought to assess the ability of the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool to discriminate between women who do and do not experience major osteoporotic fractures.
