Lumbar spine and proximal femur BMD values in Turkish girls and the effect of precocious puberty on BMD
Previous studies have shown no impairment in bone mineral density in girls with precocious and early puberty. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of precocious puberty on BMD and to measure average bone mineral density in Turkish girls. Fourteen girls between the ages of 5-10 (7.57 ± 1.83 year) who had new diagnosed precocious and early puberty were included in this study. BMD was ...
متن کاملSex Specific Association of Physical Activity on Proximal Femur BMD in 9 to 10 Year-Old Children
The results of physical activity (PA) intervention studies suggest that adaptation to mechanical loading at the femoral neck (FN) is weaker in girls than in boys. Less is known about gender differences associated with non-targeted PA levels at the FN or other clinically relevant regions of the proximal femur. Understanding sex-specific relationships between proximal femur sensitivity and mechan...
متن کاملBMD and airways disease.
The papers recently published in Thorax by Tattersfield et al 1 and Walsh et al 2 offer important information about the possible adverse affects of corticosteroids on bone mineral density (BMD). Tattersfield and her colleagues reported no change in BMD with inhaled corticosteroids for mild asthma, while Walsh et al found a dose related increase in the incidence of fractures in those taking oral...
متن کاملClinical fractures beyond low BMD
The risk of fractures is multifactorial and is related to the ability of bone to resist fracturing, which depends on its material and structural properties, and on the intensity, frequency and impact of trauma. Low BMD is a major determinant of bone strength and fracture risk. However, most patients with a fracture have no osteoporosis and BMD explains <50% of bone strength and fracture risk. B...
متن کاملDoes lower-body BMD develop at the expense of upper-body BMD in female runners?
PURPOSE Evidence suggests that exercise plays an important role in stimulating site-specific bone mineral density (BMD). However, what is less well understood is how these benefits dissipate throughout the body. Hence, the purpose of the present study was to compare the levels of, and the correlation between, BMD recorded at 10 sites in female endurance runners, and to investigate possible dete...
