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...

purpose: given that weight and body mass index (bmi) are considered as modifiable factors in osteoporosis, the present study aimed to examine the relationship of weight and bmi with bone mineral density (bmd) and bone mineral content (bmc) at the femur and lumbar vertebrae in perimenopausal women. methods: in this descriptive-correlational study, we measured the bone density of the femur and lu...

background: the aim was to investigate the relationships among lean mass (lm), fat mass (fm), and bone mineral density (bmd) in women stratified by body mass index (bmi) (bmi – normal-weight, overweight, obese) and to determine threshold at which body fat assumes negative relationship with bmd. methods: this was a cross-sectional study in 471 healthy caucasian women, aged 18-67 years. bmd, lm, ...

conclusions the findings indicated that older women with low bmi were at higher risk of low bone mass. body weight, bmi and aging may be important predictors of bmd, but they are not the only factors affecting bone loss. therefore, it is recommended to assess other risk factors with a larger number of patients. results the mean bmd of women older than 50 years compared to those younger than 50 ...

This study was undertaken to assess the frequency of decreased bone mineral density and its risk factors as well as its impact on the quality of life during childhood among hemophiliac patients. Materials and Methods: Thirty seven children with severe hemophilia A and B, referred to Mofid Children’s Hospital during 2010, were selected. For all patients the joint score, body mass indexes, bone...

conclusions these findings suggest that lean mass was the most important predictor of bmd in both genders. physical activity appears to positively impact on lean mass and needs to be considered in physical education and health-enhancing programs in iranian school children. background body weight is made up of lean and fat mass and both are involved in growth and development. impression of these...
