BACKGROUND Peak bone mineral density (PBMD) is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, genes explains most of variation. As the novel candidate genes CATSPERB and NR5A2 may have been associated with spinal PBMD in adult. This study was to investigate the relationship among these two genes^ PBMD and the life style factors in young female. METHODS The rs1298989 single nucleotide p...

Background: Although hypovitaminosis D is prevalent among healthy adults in Asia and other regions, available data among Sri Lankans are not consistent with this finding. We studied vitamin D level among healthy community-dwelling women and examined its effects on parathyroid hormone (PTH) level and bone mineral status. Methods: Females of 20 40 years (n = 434) who were employed in southern Sri...

background: recently, osteoporosis is an increasingly important public health problem in men. the aim of this study was to investigate relationship between life style and bone mineral density in men. methods: among the 20-76 year-old men of tehran, 325 persons were selected randomly from 50 clusters. the persons suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid diseases, fractures or other condition...

SUMMARY: This cross-sectional study showed that peak bone mineral density in Vietnamese women is comparable to that in Caucasian women; however, the prevalence of osteoporosis in post-menopausal Vietnamese women was slightly higher than in Caucasian women. The age of achieving peak bone mass in Vietnamese women was between 26 and 30 years. INTRODUCTION: While peak bone mass and its determinants...

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...

As an important determinant of osteoporotic fracture risk, peak bone density tends to be higher in men than in women. The aim of this study was to see whether young men and women differed in the time and skeletal region of peak bone density. We also investigated the influence of diet and physical activity on bone mass. The study group included 51 male and 75 female students aged 19 to 25 years....
