Does Liraglutide Affect Bone Turnover in Type 2 Diabetes?
In patients with type 2 diabetes, treatment with liraglutide does not affect bone resorption and preserves hip bone mineral density, even with weight loss.

History of Falls Predicts Future Fractures in Postmenopausal Women
A history of falls, especially injurious falls, predicts subsequent fractures in postmenopausal women.
Ambient Air Pollution Linked to Lower Bone Mineral Content
Exposure to ambient particulate matter air pollution with an aerodynamic diameter <2.5 µm and black carbon is associated with lower bone mineral content in adults.
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.
Meta-Analysis: Osteoporosis and Fracture Risk in Patients Living With HIV
The researchers suggest including information about bone-healthy lifestyle in the management of PLWHIV, as well as earlier initiation of osteoporosis prophylaxis and treatment.
Vitamin D Supplementation Alone Does Not Reduce Fracture Risk
Randomized controlled trials demonstrate no fracture risk reduction with vitamin D supplements alone, according to findings from a meta-analysis.
Clinical Disease Activity Measures Associated With Trabecular Bone Loss in Axial Spondyloarthritis
Researchers evaluated the association between trabecular bone loss and disease activity measures in patients with axial spondyloarthritis.
Which Type of Exercise Preserves Bone Health While Dieting?
Resistance exercise alone or in combination with aerobic exercise was found to be better than aerobic exercise alone in reducing weight loss-induced decreases in hip BMD.
Age at Attainment of Peak BMD Varies by Sex and Skeletal Site
Age at attainment of peak BMD varies by sex and skeletal site but is not affected by body mass index or race, according to study results.
Low BMD Linked to SHBG Levels in Postmenopausal Women With T2D
Women with higher serum SHBG had an increased risk for osteoporosis, osteopenia, and fracture.
