Abstract Lifestyle choices influence 20–40% of adult peak bone mass. Therefore,
optimization of lifestyle factors known to influence peak bone mass and strength is an …

Genomic technologies have evolved rapidly contributing to the understanding of diseases.
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and whole-exome sequencing have aided the …

We evaluated different definitions of osteoporosis in a population‐based sample of 348 men
(age 22–90 years) compared with 351 women (age 21–93 years). Thirty‐six men (10%) and …

Osteoporosis and 1‐year fracture risk were studied in 197,848 postmenopausal American
women from five ethnic groups. Weight explained differences in BMD, except among blacks …

Ethnic and gender differences in bone mineral acquisition were examined in a longitudinal
study of 423 healthy Asian, black, Hispanic, and white males and females (aged 9–25 yr) …

Objective: To evaluate the effects of an elementary school-based physical education
exercise intervention program on bone mineral accrual in prepubertal and early pubertal …

THE REASON FOR comparing ethnic and gender differences in skeletal mass, size, and
architecture is to define the structural basis underlying the differences in fracture rates seen …

NEARLY A decade ago, our group published a Perspective in this journal entitled,“How
Many Women Have Osteoporosis?”(1) The article pointed out that the size of the …

Bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture rates vary among women of differing ethnicities.
Most reports suggest that BMD is highest in African-Americans, lowest in Asians, and …

The recent development of methods for measuring bone mineral content in children has
markedly improved our ability to determine changes in bone mass during growth. Currently …
