  1. 11. Defining the clinical usefulness of vertebral fracture assessment

    Författare :Lisa Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vertebral fracture; vertebral fracture assessment; osteoporosis; DXA; HRpQCT; bone microindentation; mild vertebral fracture; physical function; fracture risk; incident fracture; older women;

    Sammanfattning : Objective: Vertebral fractures (VFs) are the most common osteoporotic fracture and among the strongest predictors for future fracture. VFs can be identified by vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) from lateral spine imaging (LSI) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). LÄS MER

  3. 12. Bone turnover markers and prediction of bone loss in elderly women

    Författare :Janaka Lenora; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bone turnover markers; DXA; elderly; osteoporosis; scintigraphy; Bone mineral density; quantitative ultrasound of the calcaneus; bone loss;

    Sammanfattning : Around 70,000 osteoporosis-related fractures occur in Sweden annually and approximately half of the women in western world will sustain a fragility fracture after the age of 50 years. Fracture preventive efforts require the identification of individuals who are at high risk. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Physical Activity, Bone Mass and Bone Structure in Pre-pubertal Children

    Författare :Gayani Alwis; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bone size; BMD; BMC; hip structure analysis; DXA; boys; Physical activity; girls; acclerometers; school transportation;

    Sammanfattning : Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a risk factor for fractures and much of the fracture preventive effort today is devoted to preventing low BMD. Physical activity (PA) has been described as one of the best strategies to optimize skeletal development in the growing child. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Body composition and bone density in children and adolescents. Relation to growth hormone

    Författare :Hans Fors; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Growth hormone; leptin; body composition; bone mineralisation; DXA; BIA; BIS;

    Sammanfattning : The regulation of growth, body composition and bone mineralisation during childhood and adolescence is a complex and multifactorial process. Growth hormone (GH) is essential for normal growth; in addition, it influences bone mineralisation and body composition in both children and adults. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Skeletal Development During the First Three Decades in Life

    Författare :Erik Lindgren; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Peak bone mass; DXA; PQCT; physical activity; musculoskeletal development;

    Sammanfattning : AbstractBackground: Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a surrogate estimate of bone strength. The highest value in life is referred to “peak bone mass” (PBM). LÄS MER
