Background/Aim: Protein may play a positive beneficial role in the augmenting Bone Mineral Density (BMD), mitigation bone resorption and consequently risk of osteoporosis. The effect dietary protein be different older adults compared to younger adults, since this population has greater need for protein. aim study is investigate impact intake below Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) 0.8 g/kg /d...

In this study, a majority was mild to moderately anemic and none of the girls was severely anemic. Further, in this article we have looked at the mean change in the cognitive scores of initially anemic girls. These girls were not compared with their nonanemic counterparts as very few girls were nonanemic on whom cognition test scores were available both before and after the intervention in each...

objective: in this study, the usefulness of panoramic mandibular index (pmi) on panoramic radiographs in diagnosis of osteoporosis was evaluated and its correlation with bone mineral density (bmd) of the neck of femur and spine was determined. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, 140 patients (all females) were categorized as either normal, osteopenic or osteoporotic according ...

conclusions abnormal dexa was highly prevalent among patients with cirrhosis. the risk of this finding was increased by lower vitamin d levels, advanced disease, and impaired renal function. objectives we aimed to investigate bone loss in patients with cirrhosis at different anatomical sites and key factors that might affect it. patients and methods in this cross-sectional study, 97 patients wi...

background: osteoporosis, or porous bone, is a disease characterized by low bone mass density (bmd) and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and increased risk of hip, spine, and wrist fractures. there are numerous risk factors for osteoporosis. while many of these factors are non-genetic in nature, there is a definite genetic component responsible for this conditi...

background: osteoporosis is a major public health concern around the world. it has been shown that bone mineral den­sity is correlated to anthropometric measures like height and weight, but this association may vary depending on ethnic and environmental factors. the aim of this study was to identify probable relations between anthropometric measures and bone mineral density. methods: in this po...

osteoporosis is a silent epidemy of today's world, and is also a prevalent problem of health in iran. the role of nutrients such as ascorbic acid, a key antioxidant vitamin, in this disease has recently attracted researchers' attention. in this study, we studied the relation between plasma ascorbic acid concentration and bone mineral density (bmd) in women referring to jami clinic, te...

background: tea consumption is common in our country and consumes more than coffee and other drinks. many studies investigated the association between coffee and bone mass density (bmd) but there is few study about association between tea and bmd. according to high prevalence of osteoporosis in country and change in demographic patterns that is associated with increasing middle-aged and older a...
