OBJECTIVE This study was designed to investigate bone properties using heel quantitative ultrasound (QUS) in young adults participating in various sports. METHODS A cross sectional study was performed on Chinese male students (n = 55), aged 18-22 years. Subjects with previous fractures or suffering from any diseases known to affect bone metabolism or taking any medication with such an effect,...
PURPOSE Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 6q25, which incorporates the oestrogen receptor α gene (ESR1), as a quantitative trait locus for areal bone mineral density (BMD(a)) of the hip and lumbar spine. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of this locus on other bone health outcomes; calcaneal ultrasound (QUS) parameters, radial peripheral quantitative comp...
BACKGROUND Alcohol is calorie dense, and impacts activity, appetite and lipid processing. The aim of this study was to therefore investigate the association between alcohol consumption and components of body composition including bone, fat and lean tissue. METHODS Participants were recruited from a randomly selected, population-based sample of 534 men aged 65 years and older enrolled in the G...
BACKGROUND low bone mineral density measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry is associated with increased mortality. The relationship between other skeletal phenotypes and mortality is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between quantitative heel ultrasound parameters and mortality in a cohort of European men. METHODS men aged 40-79 years were recruited for pa...
The purpose of this study was to compare the dietary habits, nutrient intake, bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism in Korean male collegians as related to smoking situation. One hundred sixty one young adult males at the age of 20-26 participated in this study. The subjects were divided into four groups: non smoker (n=42), light smoker (n=34), moderate smoker (n=49) and heavy smoker (...
Abstract Background and Aims Osteoporosis in hemodialysed (HD) patients with Chronic Kidney Disease - Mineral Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) is a debilitating clinical condition complex therapeutic management. In fact, most of the drugs commonly used to counteract osteoporosis are generally contraindicated when Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) lower than 30 ml/min. Denosumab (DMab) monoclonal antibody...
BACKGROUND In this study we evaluated bone abnormalities of patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) by cortical quantitative bone ultrasound (QUS) measurements at different bone sites because these abnormalities may be of variable etiology and may start before symptoms or radiological changes are manifested. METHODS Of fifteen patients with chronic renal failure, seven had moderate-severe d...
OBJECTIVES To examine whether collagen type I alpha1 (COLIA1) Sp1 polymorphism is associated with osteoporosis and/or intervertebral disc degeneration in older people. METHODS COLIA1 genotype was determined in 966 men and women (>/=65 years) of the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam. The guanine (G) to thymidine (T) polymorphism in the first intron of the COLIA1 gene was detected by PCR and M...
Background frailty is associated with an increased risk of fragility fractures. Less is known, however, about the association between frailty and bone health. Methods men aged 40-79 years were recruited from population registers in eight European centres for participation in the European Male Aging Study. Subjects completed a comprehensive assessment which included quantitative ultrasound (QU...
OBJECTIVES The panoramic-based indices (Mandibular Cortical Index-MCI, the height of mandibular inferior cortex-IC (mm), Panoramic Mandibular Index-PMI, Mandibular Ratio-MR) were used to evaluate their diagnostic efficacy and to determine whether they correlate with bone mineral density (BMD (g/cm(2))) of the mandible and hip, and with ultrasound parameters of the calcaneus and hand phalanges i...
