Clinical usefulness of risk factors for osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterised by loss of bone mass and microarchitectural integrity that lead to increased bone fragility and risk of fracture.' Its natural history is one of slow, progressive bone loss that often remains asymptomatic and undiagnosed for many years. Only when a substantial amount of bone has been lost do the characteristic low trauma fractures occur....
متن کاملEnvironmental risk factors for osteoporosis.
The experiments aimed at evaluating the optimal parameters in the chemo-immunotherapeutic treatment of the L1210 lymphoid leukaemia grafted to [female BALB/c (H2d) x male DBA/2 (H2d)]Fl hybrid mice, hereafter referred to as CDF1 mice. In vitro irradiation of leukaemic ascites cells by X-or y-rays and subsequent inoculation in mice showed that optimum immunogenicity is radiation dose-dependent. ...
متن کاملRisk Factors for Osteoporosis in Postmenopausal Women
INTRODUCTION Scientific studies show that many factors related to lifestyles affect the reduction of bone mineral density and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. GOAL The goal of this study was to determine whether smoking, drinking coffee and alcohol in menopausal women contribute to the reduction of bone mass and osteoporosis, as well as the impact of physical activity on bone mass. MAT...
متن کاملIdentifying genetic risk factors for osteoporosis.
Over the past decades epidemiological research of so-called "complex" diseases, i.e., common age-related disorders such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis, has identified anthropometric, behavioural, and serum parameters as risk factors. Recently, genetic polymorphisms have gained considerable interest, propelled by the Human Genome Project and its sequela that have i...
متن کاملBiochemical markers in osteoporosis: usefulness in clinical practice.
Currently, the measurement of bone remodeling biomarkers is an innovate proposal in clinical evaluation of patients with osteoporosis. Its use may identify patients at increased risk of fracture as well as monitoring therapeutic efficacy. Because they constitute a relatively inexpensive non-invasive measurement, its use should be widespread for serial and frequent measurements of bone turnover....
