Apart from the conventional risks, low bone mineral density (BMD) is one of the risk factors for bone fracture. Interestingly, the incidence of bone fracture is highest among patients with chronic renal failure, but there is little data comparing the BMD of patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) with normal persons. The authors, therefore, compared the BMD between ...

BACKGROUND Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a common disease which can cause various morbidity and economic burden. Lactation is known to cause a decline in bone mineral density (BMD), but there are controversies on whether decreased BMD is fully recovered after lactation and whether lactation duration has an influence on postmenopausal BMD. This study was conducted to see whether breastfeeding i...

OBJECTIVE To study the interaction between polymorphisms of estrogen receptor (ER) gene and puberty on bone mineral density (BMD). METHODS One hundred and forty-six boys aged 13-17 years were divided into two groups according to their first spermorrhea. DNA was analyzed for Xba I and Pvu II genotypes by PCR-RFLP. BMD of the total body, forearm and lumbar spine was measured by dual-energy X-ra...

OBJECTIVE To examine variables associated with bone mineral density (BMD) and vertebral deformities in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from 3 northwest European countries. METHODS Female patients were recruited from rheumatology clinics in Oslo, Norway; Truro, UK; and Amsterdam, The Netherlands (150 total, 50 per center, age 50-70 years, disease duration > or = 5 years). Demographic and ...

BACKGROUND Osteoporosis has been reported in adult patients with inflammatory bowel disease. AIMS To evaluate bone mineral density (BMD), nutritional status, and determinants of BMD in children with inflammatory bowel disease. PATIENTS Fifty five patients (34 boys and 21 girls, age range 4-18) were studied; 22 had Crohn's disease and 33 ulcerative colitis. METHODS Lumbar spine and total b...

Elderly individuals are susceptible to conditions that are negatively related to osteoporosis. Testos-terone and growth hormone deficiencies have been linked with low bone mineral density (BMD), which is an important marker of osteoporosis (1-2). Moreover, epidemiological studies have strongly correlated BMD with lipid profiles in men (3) and women (4-5). BMD is also associated with hypercholes...

BACKGROUND Alterations in bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with psychotic disorder may reflect the effect of treatment (disease effect observed in patients but not their siblings) or, as an intermediate marker of cumulative endogenous estrogen exposure, alterations in the neuroprotective effect of estrogen in the brain (vulnerability effect observed in patients and siblings). METHODS Du...

PURPOSE The traditional belief that obesity is protective against osteoporosis has been questioned. Recent epidemiologic studies show that body fat itself may be a risk factor for osteoporosis and bone fractures. Accumulating evidence suggests that metabolic syndrome and the individual components of metabolic syndrome such as hypertension, increased triglycerides, and reduced high-density lipop...

This research was conducted in August – September 2020, at the Quality of Aquaculture Laboratory, Fisheries and Marine Faculty, Riau University. The purposed this study to see effect addition booster manstap density cell Chlorella sp. best dose for cultures uses a completely randomized design (CRD) with one factor, four treatments, three replications. treatment use different doses (BMD), namely...

Objective: Evaluate changes in bone mineral density (BMD) during pregnancy and lactation and evaluate BMD and fracture risk in nulliand multiparous women. Design: Review article Setting: Manuscript published in PubMed from 1966. Main outcome measure: Rate of BMD changes during pregnancy and lactation and BMD and fracture incidence in nulliand multiparous women. Results: Both a pregnancy and six...
