BACKGROUND: Determining anatomic sites and circumstances under which a fracture may
be a consequence of osteoporosis is a topic of ongoing debate and controversy that is …

Osteoporosis, with resulting fractures, is a significant problem in patients with advanced
COPD. The etiology for the bone loss is diverse but includes smoking, vitamin D deficiency …

Background and aims: Osteopenia and osteoporosis are frequent in Crohn's disease.
However, there are few data on related vertebral fractures. Therefore, we evaluated …

Osteoporosis and its associated fracture risk has become one of the major health burdens in
our aging population. Currently, bisphosphonate, one of the most popular antiresorptive …

The exact mechanism of bone loss remains unknown in primary male osteoporosis. It has
been suggested that estrogen and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) play a role in …

Fragility fractures in men represent a major health problem, and this prompts a necessity for
reliable tools for the identification of men at risk of fracture. In order to assess the ability of …

Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) measured by dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA)
identifies 20% of men who will sustain fragility fractures. Thus we need better fracture …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the utility of clinical features, combined with optical density
measurements and morphologic analysis of periapical images, for identifying individuals …

T2DM is linked to an increase in the fracture rate as compared to the nondiabetic population
even with normal or raised bone mineral density (BMD). Hence, bone quality plays an …

The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of regular aerobic exercise training on
bone mineral density (BMD) in middle-aged men. A population based sample of 140 men …
