plasma fluoride level and femoral bone mineral density in post-menopausal women

Bone mineral density evaluation of post menopausal women who referred to Shahid Mohammadi hospital BMD center

Introduction: Osteoporosis is an important public health problem. Osteoporosis characterized by low bone mass with micro architectural disruption and skeletal fragility resulting increased risk of fracture .The aim of this study was to evaluate the Bone mineral density in post menopausal women who referred to Shahid Mohamadi hospital BMD center. Methods: In this cross sectional study 404 postme...

Physical Activity Level of Post-menopausal Women with Low Bone Mineral Density.

Introduction Proper physical activity is related to the prevention and the treatment of osteoporosis. Purpose To assess the level of physical activity (PA) in post-menopausal women with low bone mineral density (BMD). Methods This cross-sectional clinical study included 123 post-menopausal women. The inclusion criteria were: age of ≥ 45 years with last menses at least 12 months prior to the ini...

Assessment of bone mineral density with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry in pre- and post-menopausal women

Background: Osteoporosis is a chronic disease that contributes substantially to decrease physical activity and decline in the quality of life. Osteoporosis can be diagnosed easily with the use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) equipment. The aim of this study was to investigate the magnitude of bone loss on proximal femur and lumbar spine LS in pre- and post-menopausal women f...

Relationship between spine osteoarthritis, bone mineral density and bone turn over markers in post menopausal women

BACKGROUND Several studies have observed an inverse relationship between osteoporosis and spinal osteoarthritis, the latter being considered as possibly delaying the development of osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to determine the association between individual radiographic features of spine degeneration, bone mineral density (BMD) and bone-turn over markers. METHODS It was a cross sec...

Effect of intravenous zolendronic acid on bone mineral density in post-menopausal women with low bone mineral density.

Background : Menopause is the period during which systemic oestrogen level is reduced. During postmenopausal period, bone remodelling cycle is distorted and is occasionally associated with low bone mass which is the major determinant of bone strength. Zoledronic acid, a third generation bisphosphonates available as an alternative formulation approved for the treatment of postmenopausal women. A...
