Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. can progress painlessly until it causes bone fracture or Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) costly not accessible easily so we are using Fuzzy Inference system predict osteoporosis. In this fuzzy logic, collect risk factors rules for osteoporosis build interface take inputs predicts if person has the followin...

Background: The advances in treatment regimes for thalassemic patients have increased the survival among them therefore osteoporosis has emerged as an important cause of morbidity. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia in patients with thalassemia from Zafar Adult Thalassemia Clinic, Tehran, Iran. Patients and Methods: In this cross sectional inve...

Bone homeostasis is maintained through a delicate balance between osteoblastic bone formation and osteoclastic bone resorption [1, 2]. Bone mass is reduced by decrease in osteoblastic bone formation and increase in osteoclastic bone resorption. Numerous pathological processes have the capacity to disrupt this equilibrium leading to conditions where the rate of bone resorption outpaces the rate ...

Objective: All the studies are parts of the PRIMOS (Primary Health Care and Osteoporosis) project. Study 1 investigates the relationship between central Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) measurements of the hip and spine and peripheral measurements of the calcaneus using Dual X-ray and Laser (DXL) technique. Study II investigates the association between the nutritional status of elderly free-livi...

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass associated with decreased strength and increased risk of fractures. Low in premenopausal women less common than postmenopausal women, loss usually due to secondary causes such as estrogen deficiency, glucocorticoid exposure, malabsorption, thyroid disorders, hyperparathyroidism. In osteoporosis, treatment should be planned accord...

PREVENTING OSTEOPOROSIS To the Editor: I appreciate Dr Seaman’s recent survey of the literature on osteoporosis. His emphasis on the importance of a bwhole-food Q approach to nutrition is commendable as is his earlier review of the literature on the proinflammatory nature of the American/Western diet. However, his recent review on osteoporosis lacked any mention of vitamin D, and I am writing t...

Background: Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and loss of the quality of bone microarchitecture. These changes increase the probability of bone fracture. This study aimed to determine the effect of an empowerment program based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) on the self-efficacy of older adults to prevent osteoporosis. Methods: It was a randomized controlled trial with pre-test, ...

Osteoporosis is one of the most common disorders around world. Osteoporotic fracture especially hip are associated with an increased mortality rate in elders. However, elders osteoporosis or at high risk fractures remain largely underdiagnosed and undertreated. The screening, diagnosis, treatment must be improved to maintain pace its fast-growing prevalence. This review will cover factors osteo...
