1. 1. 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. 2. The acute osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture. Its natural course and characteristics

   Författare :Nobuyuki Suzuki; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Vertebral body fracture; Osteoporosis; Pain; Quality of life; Disability; Compression fracture; Prognosis; Treatment; Prevalent fracture; Epidemiology;

   Sammanfattning : Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the natural course and the characteristics of the acute osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture in order to better understand and improve treatment for this type of fracture. Patients and methods: Eligible patients were all patients over 40 years of age who sought medical care at the emergency unit at Sahlgrenska University Hospital (studies I-III) or referred to the X-ray Department at Capio Diagnostic Center (study IV) because of back pain with a radiographically-confirmed acute vertebral body fracture which resulted from a low energy trauma.

4. 3. Risk factors for bone fragility and fracture in postmenopausal women

   Författare :Ola Svejme; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bone Fragility; Fracture; Osteoporosis; Bone Mineral Density BMD ; Menopause; Physical activity; Bone Strength; Bone Size; Bone Densitometry;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to evaluate risk factors for bone fragility and fractures in postmenopausal women in a long-term perspective. The study period spanned from the age of 48 to age 82 and is thus unique in its length. The studied sample was homogeneous and consisted of 390 north European women from a population-based cohort.

5. 4. Predictors of bone fragility in older women. Associations in older women between risk medications and measurements of physical function, bone microstructure and fracture risk

   Författare :Berit A M Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; osteoporosis; risk prediction; fracture; risk medication; selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors; statins; physical function; timed up and go; one leg standing test;

   Sammanfattning : Bone fragility with fractures constitutes a growing public health concern, resulting in suffering and major health care cost. This thesis project has been carried out by means of studies based on the SUPERB cohort of 75–80-year-old women from Gothenburg. LÄS MER

7. 5. Hip fracture : risk factors and mortality

   Författare :Bahman Y Farahmand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Epidemiology; case-control study; hip fracture; body size; physical activity; socioeconomic status; marital status; smoking; alcohol; survival;

   Sammanfattning : The objective of this thesis was to identify factors related to risk of hip fracture and mortality after the hip fracture. We used data from a large population-based case-control study in postmenopausal women aged 50-81 years during 1993-1995 who resided in six counties in Sweden. LÄS MER
