Risks After Denosumab Discontinuation Linked to Age and Prior Therapy
Researchers sought to identify potential vertebral fracture and bone loss risk factors after discontinuation of denosumab therapy and initiation of other therapy.
Osteoporosis
Comparing Free and Bioavailable vs Total 25(OH)D to Predict Bone Health
Researchers sought to investigate the impact of vitamin D-specific variables on indices of bone and mineral metabolism in older adults.
Physical Activity Important for Osteoporosis Prevention in Older Adults
There may be an association between physical activity and osteoporosis prevention among individuals aged at least 65 years.
Balance Predictive of Low BMD in Postmenopausal Women With Osteopenia
Researchers determined whether balance and functional mobility predicted bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and osteopenia.

Researchers assessed the long-term safety and efficacy of denosumab in patients with mild to moderate chronic kidney disease (stages 2 and 3).
Vegans May Have Increased Risk for Total, Site-Specific Fractures
Vegans have increased risks for total fractures and some site-specific fractures compared with meat eaters.
Low-Dose CT Offers Opportunity to Screen for Osteoporosis
Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) chest scans obtained for other reasons may provide opportunistic screening for osteoporosis.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have negatively impacted osteoporosis management.
Corticosteroid Exposure Affects Bone Health in Those With Asthma
For patients with asthma, oral corticosteroid (OCS) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) use is associated with an increased risk for osteoporosis and fragility fractures.
Education, Screening, and Treatment Reduce Toll of Osteoporosis in Women
In the United States, less than one-quarter of women eligible for bone mineral density testing are screened, leaving many women at risk for fractures.
