Background: During lactation, metabolic changes in the bone in different areas of the body may affect the amount of bone mineral density.The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between breastfeeding and bone mineral density in women. Materials and Methods:  In this study, articles were searched at Cochran, Medline (via PubMed), Scopus, and Web of Science databases until June 201...

the aim of current study was to determine the effects of vitamin c on bone mineral density (in terms of osteoporosis), eggshell quality and investigation of correlation between these factors in laying hens reared under normal condition. one hundred and ninety two 24 - weeks - old laying hens diet was supplemented with 4 levels of vitamin c (0, 250, 500 and 750 mg/kg diet). the experimental desi...

introduction : osteoporosis is characterized by low bone density and increase in the risk of fracture. because in pregnancy and lactation there are many factors which influence bone mineral density, we sought to assess whether the accumulation of multiple pregnancies and the accompanying extended periods of lactation were a risky factor for low bone mineral density and osteoporosis. materials &...

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term changes in bone density profile among survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Patients and Methods: This was a 5 year prospective study comprised of thirty-one survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia with a mean age of 11.8 (4.6) years, who completed therapy at least 1 year previously (according to the ...

Background: Celiac disease (CD), as an autoimmune disease has initiated since ingestion of food containing gluten. Constant intolerance to gluten causes damages of the small intestinal mucosa. One reason of mal-absorption in children and infants is CD. Additionally, about 75% of newly identified patients with CD have low bone mineral density (BMD). Many factors have role in metabolic bone disea...

background: we aimed to evaluate the effect of body weight and body mass index (bmi) on bone mineral density (bmd) in healthy postmenopausal iranian women.    material and methods: two hundred postm­enopausal women (age between 51 and 69 years) who had presented to the nuclear medicine center at shariati hospital in tehran, iran between april 2012 and august 2013 were included in this cross sec...
