Vertebral fractures and bone mineral density in idiopathic, secondary and corticosteroid associated osteoporosis in men.
OBJECTIVE To investigate bone mineral density (BMD) in men with symptomatic osteoporosis and compare BMD in patients with idiopathic, secondary and corticosteroid associated osteoporosis. METHODS Age, number of vertebral fractures at presentation and BMD were investigated in men presenting to a bone metabolism clinic with idiopathic (n=105; group 1), secondary (n=67; group 2) and corticostero...
متن کامل[A study of bone mineral density in postmenopausal and senile osteoporosis with vertebral fractures in female].
Bone mineral density of the lumbar vertebrae (L2-4BMD) in involutional osteoporosis was measured by dual photon absorptiometry to investigate its relationship with the incidence of osteoporotic vertebral fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. In addition to monitor L2-4BMD, the author also examined the progress of vertebral fractures during drug treatments by means of radiographs. L2-4BMD ...
متن کاملReview: parathyroid hormone increases lumbar spine bone mineral density and decreases vertebral fractures in osteoporosis.
M a i n r e s u l t s 20 RCTs (2361 patients) met the selection criteria. Types of osteoporosis included postmenopausal osteoporosis (10 RCTs), idiopathic male osteoporosis (2 RCTs), and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (1 RCT). 18 RCTs evaluated human PTH(l-34) administered subcutaneously. Dosages of PTH varied markedly among RCTs. Treatment duration ranged from 6 weeks to 3 years. Comparis...
متن کاملAsymptomatic vertebral fractures in patients with low bone mineral density.
OBJECTIVE Vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) is a test technique that can be used to detect asymptomatic vertebral fractures (AVF). It uses dual energy X-ray bsorptiometry (DXA) and can be performed concurrently with bone densitometry. This study aims to assess the prevalence of AVF in patients with low bone mass. METHODS Cross-sectional study including 135 individuals with low bone mineral ...
