Bone-Protecting Agents Reduce Fractures Associated With Treatment in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
The cumulative incidence of bone fractures was below 5% in BPA recipients.
Bone Health
Vertebral Fracture Common in End-Stage Kidney Disease
In a small study, 34% of dialysis patients had vertebral fractures, and patients in the highest tertile of parathyroid hormone level had a nearly 3-fold increased risk of these fractures compared with those in the middle tertile.
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.
Poor Sleep Quality and Short Sleep Duration Associated With Increased Risk for Osteoporosis
Using the 2005 to 2010 NHANES, the researchers examined the association between osteoporosis risk and the effect of sleep quality and duration in adults.
Bone Turnover Lower Among Men With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, A1c Greater Than 7%
Study authors identified whether the hemoglobin A1c threshold level where reduction in bone turnover begins.
Low Bone Strength and Mass Associated With Increased Risk for Major Adverse Coronary Events in Older Men
In this study, researchers assess the connection between bone fragility and major adverse coronary events in older men.
Chronic Hemolysis and Bone Health in Non-Transfusion-Dependent Pediatric Patients
Researchers evaluated growth as well as bone and body composition of non-transfusion-dependent (NTD) pediatric patients with chronic hemolysis.
Benign Bone Tumors Commonly Detected on X-Ray in Children
Nearly one in five children might have benign bone tumors of the extremities.
Hand Grip Strength Linked to Greater Bone Size, Strength in Older Men and Women
Researchers determined the association between grip strength and distal radius bone density, size, and strength in both older men and women enrolled in the Framingham Osteoporosis study.
Alterations in Bone Structure, Composition May Cause Trabecular Bone Fragility in Type 2 Diabetes
Patients with type 2 diabetes face up to a three-fold increased risk of hip fracture, despite adequate areal bone mineral density which may underestimate fracture risk in these patients.
