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 کاملHIV infection and bone mineral density in middle-aged women.
BACKGROUND Osteopenia is prevalent in persons with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and is part of a normal sequence of aging in women. Most studies of bone mineral density (BMD) and HIV infection have focused on men or have lacked a comparison group of individuals without HIV infection with similar behavioral risk factors. METHODS We analyzed BMD in 495 middle-aged women (defined...
متن کاملLow bone mineral density, renal dysfunction, and fracture risk in HIV infection: a cross-sectional study.
BACKGROUND Reduced bone mineral density (BMD) is common in adults infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The role of proximal renal tubular dysfunction (PRTD) and alterations in bone metabolism in HIV-related low BMD are incompletely understood. METHODS We quantified BMD (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry), blood and urinary markers of bone metabolism and renal function, and risk fa...
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 کاملLow grip strength is associated with bone mineral density and vertebral fracture in women.
OBJECTIVES Grip strength has been reported to be associated with bone mass locally at the forearm and also at distant skeletal sites, including the spine and hip. Less is known about the association between low grip strength and risk of vertebral fracture. The aim of this study was to examine the association between low grip strength, bone mineral density at the hip and spine, and vertebral fra...
