The FRAX tool demonstrated good discrimination overall but underestimated fracture risk among certain patients with diabetes, including Hispanic women and Black men.

Common among older adults, especially postmenopausal women, osteoporosis occurs as bone mineral density (BMD) declines, resulting in bones that can fracture with minor falls or even routine ...

A new study finds that osteosarcopenia — having osteopenia or osteoporosis along with sarcopenia — is prevalent in people who have experienced hip fractures, especially men.

Regardless of age, fracture in adulthood was linked to a higher risk of future fractures in older adults, emphasizing the need for early osteoporosis exams.

Now, researchers at UTSA have received multimillion-dollar funding to reexamine bone mineral density, a measure of bone fracture risks, and another critical component in bone known as proteoglycans.

Researchers conducted an international meta-analysis to assess the effect of type 1 diabetes status on fracture risk.

causing reduced bone density and increased risk of fractures. “It’s important that women going through the menopause look after their bone health as declining oestrogen levels make bones ...

(C) is a schematic illustration depicting the fault fracture zone and the associated local geological maps. This study was led by Prof. Huajian Yao from the University of Science and Technology of ...

“Loss of bone mineral density, especially as you age, can make a person prone to fractures and weakness. And a fracture in older patients, like in their 70s and 80s, can be a very significant thin ...

Strong bones are the foundation of a healthy body. As we age, our bones naturally lose density, making them more fragile and prone to fractures. However, the good news is that there are many ways ...

Participants' serum CRP levels (measured by high-sensitivity CRP [hsCRP] assay), bone mineral density, markers of bone turnover, comorbidities (including prevalent fracture), medications ...

To examine the associations of dietary inflammatory index (DII) with bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk in adult Americans. The United States National Health and Nutrition Examination ...
