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.
Bone Mineral Density
Ambient Air Pollution Linked to Lower Bone Mineral Content
Exposure to ambient particulate matter air pollution with an aerodynamic diameter <2.5 µm (PM2.5) and black carbon (BC) is associated with lower bone mineral content (BMC) in adults.
![Comprehensive laboratory evaluation is important if blood transfusion is expected, to screen for antirheumatic drug side effects, and to assess medical comorbidities. [3] The results of these tests should be shared with the surgical team to reduce surgical morbidity and mortality.](https://1fxghyessyy2gaob23ygwzph-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2019/01/thinkstockphotos454249703101_939914-544x306.jpg)
Platelet/Lymphocyte Ratio May Predict Risk for Postmenopausal Osteoporosis
Researchers evaluated the relationship between platelet/lymphocyte and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratios, and vitamin D levels in low bone mineral density of postmenopausal women.
Age at Attainment of Peak Bone Mineral Density Varies by Sex, 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.
Effects of Subclinical Thyroid Dysfunction on Bone Mineral Density in Adults
Researchers found no association between subclinical thyroid dysfunction and bone mineral density in healthy middle-aged adults.
Meta-Analysis: How Do Bone Properties Change After Stroke?
Significant changes in bone mass may occur after stroke and are more pronounced in the paretic limbs and during the first few months after the acute event.
Weight Loss Tied to Lower Hip Bone Density in Older Adults
Obese and overweight older individuals who lose weight have lower bone mineral density (BMD) in their hips.
Less Sleep Tied to Lower Bone Mineral Density in Women
Short sleep duration is associated with lower bone mineral density (BMD) and a higher risk for osteoporosis among postmenopausal women.
Factors Associated With High Prevalence of Osteoporosis in Bronchiectasis
This study was the first to evaluate both the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in a large cohort of patients with bronchiectasis and its relationship with other variables, including clinical, body composition and bone turnover, and inflammation markers.
