Serum 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 کاملTemperature influence on DXA measurements: bone mineral density acquisition in frozen and thawed human femora
BACKGROUND Determining bone mineral density (BMD) with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is an established and widely used method that is also applied prior to biomechanical testing. However, DXA is affected by a number of factors. In order to delay decompositional processes, human specimens for biomechanical studies are usually stored at about -20 degrees C; similarly, bone mineral densit...
متن کاملEvaluation of Bone Mineral Density in Perimenopausal Period
Background: The menopausal transition called perimenopause, happens after the reproductive years, and isspecified with irregular menstrual cycles, perimenopause symptoms and hormonal changes. Women going throughperi menopausal period are vulnerable to bone loss.Osteoporosis is one of the most common debilitating metabolic bone diseases ,especially in the women almostaround 50 years .This study ...
متن کاملOral statins and increased bone-mineral density in postmenopausal women.
Experimental evidence suggests that the cholesterol-lowering drugs statins increase bone formation. We report a significant increase of bone-mineral density associated with taking statins in postmenopausal women.
متن کاملGenetic regulation of bone mineral density in mice.
Peak bone mass is a major determinant of risk of osteoporotic fracture. Family and twin studies have found a strong genetic component to the determination of bone mineral density (BMD). However, BMD is a complex trait whose expression is confounded by environmental influences and polygenic inheritance. The number, locations and effects of the individual genes contributing to natural variation i...
