Faster Bone Turnover in Menopause Linked to Incident Fracture Risk
Faster increases in bone turnover during the menopausal transition are associated with an increased risk for fracture postmenopause.

Vitamin D Supplementation Alone Does Not Reduce Fracture Risk
Randomized controlled trials demonstrate no fracture risk reduction with vitamin D supplements alone, according to findings from a meta-analysis.
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.
Liquid Chromatography Can Detect Unauthorized Drugs in Herbal Treatments for Gout, Osteoporosis
An ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography can determine the presence of unauthorized drug substances in health foods and herbal products used in treating conditions such as gout and osteoporosis.
Midarm Muscle Measurements May Be a Practical Tool for Osteoporosis Diagnosis
Researchers determined the association between midarm muscle circumference and osteoporosis among community-dwelling older men.
![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.
Meta-Analysis: Osteoporosis and Fracture Risk in Patients Living With HIV
The researchers suggest including information about bone-healthy lifestyle in the management of PLWHIV, as well as earlier initiation of osteoporosis prophylaxis and treatment.
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.
Lipidome Module Associated With Markers of Osteoporosis and Atherosclerosis
Researchers identified a network of lipid species jointly associated with markers of both osteoporosis and atherosclerosis.
