Lower 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 کاملGenetic determination of Colles' fracture and differential bone mass in women with and without Colles' fracture.
Osteoporotic fractures (OFs) are a major public health problem. Direct evidence of the importance and, particularly, the magnitude of genetic determination of OF per se is essentially nonexistent. Colles' fractures (CFs) are a common type of OF. In a metropolitan white female population in the midwestern United States, we found significant genetic determination of CF. The prevalence (K) of CF i...
متن کاملBone mineral density of the radius in patients with Colles' fracture.
To ascertain whether patients with Colles' fracture should be investigated for osteoporosis and the risk of future fractures, we measured the bone mineral density of the distal radius of the other arm in 31 women patients and compared the results with those of a control group of 289 normal women. We divided the patients into two groups, those younger than 66 years and those older. In 25 patient...
متن کاملVitamin K status is associated with childhood bone mineral content.
In adult bone, vitamin K contributes to bone health, probably through its role as co-factor in the carboxylation of osteocalcin. In children, the significance of vitamin K in bone-mass acquisition is less well known. The objective of this longitudinal study was to determine whether biochemical indicators of vitamin K status are related to (gains in) bone mineral content (BMC) and markers of bon...
متن کاملExcessive dietary intake of vitamin A is associated with reduced bone mineral density and increased risk for hip fracture.
BACKGROUND The highest incidence of osteoporotic fractures is found in northern Europe, where dietary intake of vitamin A (retinol) is unusually high. In animals, the most common adverse effect of toxic doses of retinol is spontaneous fracture. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether excessive dietary intake of vitamin A is associated with decreased bone mineral density and increased risk for hip fr...
