Higher Fat Mass Linked to Lower Bone Mineral Density
Negative association of fat mass index with BMD was stronger in men than women

Cemented Hemiarthroplasty for Hip Fracture Improves Quality of Life Among Older Adults
The researchers found that the mean EQ-5D utility scores were 0.371 and 0.315 for patients assigned to the cemented and uncemented groups, respectively.
Dried Plum Consumption May Offer Modest Bone Health Benefit in Men
Bone health can sometimes be improved by the use of certain supplements and dietary changes. Researchers studied whether dried plums would have a beneficial effect in men.
Oral Calcitriol May Reduce Fracture Risk in Hemodialysis
The prevalence of vertebral fracture was lower among treated than untreated patients.
Unnecessary Radiotherapy Given Near End-of-Life in Metastatic Cancer
Among patients with bone and brain metastases who died within 90 days of radiotherapy receipt, 21.6 percent received guideline-nonconcordant therapy.
Cholecalciferol Beneficial for Bone Loss in Kidney Transplant Recipients
The effect of cholecalciferol supplementation on parathyroid hormone levels and bone loss at the lumbar spine in kidney transplant recipients was studied in a placebo-controlled trial.
Bisphosphonates Reduce Incidence of Hip Fractures in Patients With Osteoporosis, Osteopenia
Researchers investigated whether hip fractures could be prevented with bisphosphonates in people with osteoporosis or osteopenia.
Mind-Body Exercise Improves 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.
Reduced Bone Microarchitecture, Lower BMD Observed Among Patients With Peripheral Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy
Researchers evaluated the bone microarchitecture and strength in patients with primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy using HR-pQCT.
Bone Density Loss Similar Among Postmenopausal Black and White Women
Age and menopause may contribute to bone fracture risk in women, but the rate may vary by race and ethnicity. Researchers studied changes in bone mineral density in Black and White women to discover if race had an impact on bone loss.
