Hip Fracture Risk Increases With Drug Holiday From Risedronate vs Alendronate
Drug holidays after long-term risedronate are associated with a small increase in the risk for hip fracture compared with drug holidays after long-term alendronate.
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.
Case Report: Denosumab Improves Bone Mineral Density in Patient With Williams Syndrome and Osteoporosis
A 12-year-old Japanese girl with Williams syndrome and osteoporosis presented with very low bone mineral density and received treatment with denosumab.
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.
Alendronate Does Not Affect Lipids in Women With Osteopenia and Prediabetes
Prediabetes can put postmenopausal women at risk for cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, and osteoporosis. Investigators sought to determine the effect of bisphosphonates’ effect (such as alendronate) on lipid profiles.
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.
Romosozumab Superior to Teriparatide in Improving Bone Mineral Density in Postmenopausal Women
Researchers compared the efficacy of romosozumab vs teriparatide in improving vertebral bone structure in women with low bone density.
Oral Health in Older Adults Linked to Bone Density Measurements
Bone density often decreases with age and is closely related to overall physical performance. Researchers studied whether the relationship between bone density and overall physical health extended to oral health as well.
Frequency of Osteoporosis, Risk Factors Linked to Lower BMD Identified in Patients With Psoriatic Arthritis
The objective of the study was to determine the frequency of osteoporosis and identify factors associated with a lower bone mineral density in patients with psoriatic arthritis.
