Low bone mineral density in men with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is common in patients with COPD but the likely multi-factorial causes contributing to this condition (e.g. sex, age, smoking, therapy) mask the potential contribution from elements related to COPD. In order to study osteoporosis and bone mineral density (BMD) related to COPD, we studied a well-defined group of patients and controls. METHODS BMD, forced expiratory volum...
متن کامل[Bone mineral density in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
AIM To study of bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). SUBJECTS AND METHODS 104 patients with COPD were examined. A study group comprised men with a long smoking history. BMD of the lumbar spine in the frontal view and that of the proximal femur (the neck, Ward's area, greater trochanter) were studied by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry using...
متن کاملAssociated bone mineral density and obstructive sleep apnea in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is an important issue for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Worse systemic inflammation and reduced exercise capacity have been reported in COPD patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), implying that OSA may be an independent factor for osteoporosis in COPD patients. METHODS A total of 66 patients with bone mineral density (BMD) and polyso...
متن کاملAspergillus colonization in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Background and Purpose: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been recognized as a risk factor for invasive aspergillosis. Airway colonization by Aspergillus species is a common feature of chronic pulmonary diseases. Nowadays, the incidence of COPD has increased in critically ill patients. The aim of the present study was to isolate and identify Aspergillus colonies in the respirator...
متن کاملThe relationship between adipokines, body composition, and bone density in men with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Osteoporosis is common in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Data regarding the relationship between adipokines and bone mineral density (BMD) in this population is lacking. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine associations between the adipokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), leptin, adiponectin and resistin, body composition, and BMD in men with ...
