Reproducibility of bone mineral density measurement in daily practice.
BACKGROUND Bone mineral density (BMD) measurements are frequently performed repeatedly for each patient. Subsequent BMD measurements allow reproducibility to be assessed. OBJECTIVE To examine the reproducibility of BMD by dual energy x ray absorptiometry (DXA) and to investigate the practical value of different measures of reproducibility in a group of postmenopausal women. METHODS Ninety f...
متن کاملMeasurement of Bone Mineral Density in Children With Cancer
To the Editor: The article by Aldhafiri et al1 raises several clinically relevant issues. As addressed in the principle objective given in the study, measurement of bone mineral density in children by dualenergy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) requires adjustment for height and weight, therefore providing validation of our observations reported in 2009.2 Secondly, it is important to establish local ...
متن کاملSerum ferritin levels and bone mineral density in the elderly
Background: Iron overload influences negatively on bone mineral density (BMD) but the results of studies regarding serum ferritin (SF) and BMD are conflicting.This study aimed to determine the association of SF and BMD in the elderly. Methods: All participants of the Amirkola cohort selected between 2011-2012, aged > 60 years were classified as high or normal (<200ng/ml) SF. BMD at femoral nec...
متن کاملLower Bone Mineral Density is Associated with Intertrochanteric Hip Fracture
Background: A better understanding of how bone mineral density and vitamin D levels are associated with femoralneck and intertrochanteric hip fractures may help inform healthcare providers. We asked: 1) In patients age ≥ 55 years,is there a difference in quantitative ultrasound of the heel (QUS) t-score between patients with fractures of the femoralneck and those with fractures of the intertroc...
متن کاملBone mineral density and stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We sought to assess the long-term predictive usefulness of bone mineral density (BMD) for stroke incidence and stroke mortality. METHODS The First National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data were obtained from a nationally representative sample of noninstitutionalized civilians. A cohort of 3402 white and black subjects 45 through 74 years of age at baseline (...
