Low bone mineral density and fracture burden in postmenopausal women.
BACKGROUND The study objectives were to determine fracture rates in relation to bone mineral density at various central skeletal sites, using the World Health Organization definition for osteoporosis (T-score -2.5 or less), and to contrast fracture patterns among women 50 to 64 years of age with those among women 65 years of age and older. METHODS Historical cohort study with a mean observati...
متن کاملRomosozumab in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density.
BACKGROUND Sclerostin is an osteocyte-derived inhibitor of osteoblast activity. The monoclonal antibody romosozumab binds to sclerostin and increases bone formation. METHODS In a phase 2, multicenter, international, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, eight-group study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of romosozumab over a 12-month period in 419 postmenopausal women, 55 to 85...
متن کاملThe Effect of Body Pump Training on Bone Mineral Density and Balance in Postmenopausal Women
Abstract Introduction and aim: Studies has shown that increases bone mineral density (BMD) loss after menopause in women; On the other hand, physical activity is an important factor in preventing osteoporosis and fractures associated with it. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of 6 months low-load very high-repetition resistance training (body pump) on BMD and balance in postme...
متن کاملLow bone mineral density, but not epidural steroid injection, is associated with fracture in postmenopausal women with low back pain.
BACKGROUND Therapy with glucocorticoids often results in bone loss and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. However, the relationship between epidural steroid injection (ESI), bone mineral density (BMD), and vertebral fracture remains to be determined. OBJECTIVE To establish a relationship between ESI, BMD, and vertebral fracture in postmenopausal women with low back pain. STUDY DESIGN This...
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.
