متن کاملDelayed puberty and peak bone mass.
The accrual of bone mass during childhood and adolescence is a major determinant of peak bone mass (PBM), and thereby of the risk of osteoporotic fractures occurring in advanced age (1). The development of noninvasive techniques, such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), has made it possible to determine with precision and very low radiation exposure the pattern of bone mineral mass accum...
متن کاملPrevalence of Low Bone Mass for Chronological Age in Children with Acute Leukemia in Southern Iran
Background: Total bone mass acquired during childhood is known to be the most important determinant and base of lifelong skeletal health. The present study investigated the prevalence of low bone mass for chronological age (LBM) in lumbar and femoral areas of leukemic children in the south of Iran and evaluated the association of anthropometric, clinical and laboratory data of these children ...
متن کاملPersistence of asthma symptoms during adolescence: role of obesity and age at the onset of puberty.
Little is known about rates and predictors of remission of childhood asthma after the onset of puberty. We used data collected at ages 6, 8, 11, 13, and 16 years from the Tucson Children's Respiratory Study, a population-based birth cohort. The onset of puberty was defined as the age of appearance of the first pubertal signs as reported by parents. Information on wheezing both before and after ...
