Bone mass and physical activity
Weak and osteoporotic bones in old age are an increasing cause of mortality and painful physical impairment of the elderly, especially in the western world. Bone mineral accrual during childhood and adolescence is thought to play a vital role in preventing osteoporosis. Identifying and optimizing the factors influencing peak bone mass is thus important for the prevention of osteoporosis and rel...
متن کاملPhysical activity increases bone mass during growth
BACKGROUND The incidence of fragility fractures has increased during the last half of the 1990's. One important determinant of fractures is the bone mineral content (BMC) or bone mineral density (BMD), the amount of mineralised bone. If we could increase peak bone mass (the highest value of BMC reached during life) and/or decrease the age-related bone loss, we could possibly improve the skeleta...
متن کاملBone Mineral Density, Lean Body Mass and Bone Biomarkers Following Physical Exercise in Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Undergoing Chemotherapy
Background: This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of physical exercise on bone mineral density (BMD), lean body mass (LBM) and bone biomarkers in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on chemotherapy. Methods: forty-six leukemic children were randomly assigned to two groups; exercise group (E) undergoing supervised mixed exercise program consisting of aerobic, resistance and flexib...
متن کاملInfluence of Physical Activity on Calcium and Bone
• Both exercise intensity and duration impact calcium and bone metabolism. • Exercise early in life leads to increased bone mass at sites that are loaded. • Cortical bone density and bone size is dependent on interactions between hormonal changes as well as loads placed on the skeleton. • Calcium intake may modify the bone response to loading. It is speculated that protein intake also may modif...
متن کاملImmobilization hypercalcaemia due to low bone formation
A young man developed acute renal failure and hypercalcaemia following severe burns. The hypercalcaemia was initially controlled by haemodialysis, but it persisted after return of renal function. Plasma PTH was inappropriately elevated, but the nephrogenous cyclic adenosine monophosphate level was low; thus the PTH was probably not biologically active, and may have been artefactually elevated b...
