Scoring Analysis Detects Genetic Correlation Between Osteoporosis and Schizophrenia
Researchers explored the genetic correlation between schizophrenia and osteoporosis.
Denosumab Decreases Vertebral Fracture Risk in Postmenopausal Women With Diabetes
Denosumab increases bone mineral density and decreases vertebral fracture risk in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and diabetes.
Genetically Elevated Serum Calcium Linked to Lower Whole-Body Bone Mineral Density
Increased serum calcium levels are associated with a reduction in whole-body bone mineral density.
Infrequent Dosing of Zoledronate May Prevent Bone Loss in Postmenopausal Women
In postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, 2 doses of zoledronate 5 mg at an approximately 6-year interval prevented bone loss for almost 11 years.
Calcaneal Quantitative Ultrasound May Help to Rule Out Low BMD in Axial Spondyloarthropathy
Quantitative ultrasound of the calcaneus may be a promising noninvasive triage tool to rule out low bone mineral density in adults with axial spondyloarthropathy.
Calcium Supplement Use Associated With BMD Decline Across the Menopausal Transition
The use of calcium dietary supplements was found to be associated with slower decline in femoral neck and lumbar spine bone mineral density across the menopausal transition.
Reduced Volumetric Bone Mineral Density in Hyperuricemia Among Patients With Psoriasis
Researchers assessed the effect of hyperuricemia with and without psoriasis on bone microstructure and volumetric bone mineral density.
Exercise Program Reduces Fear of Falling in Women With Osteoporosis, Vertebral Fractures
Women with osteoporosis and a history of vertebral fractures had improved balance and muscle strength and reduced fear of falling after participation in a supervised, multicomponent balance and resistance exercise program.
No Effect of Sodium Bicarbonate on Muscle Function, Bone Mineral Density in Chronic Kidney Disease
In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial that enrolled patients with chronic kidney disease stages 3 and 4, sodium bicarbonate did not significant affect sit-to-stand time or bone mineral density.
