What Is Osteoporosis?

JOURNAL ARTICLES:

Antiretroviral therapy and the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis: a meta-analytic review. (AIDS. 2006)

Epidemiology and pathophysiologyof osteoporosis in men. (Curr Osteoporos Rep. 2006) "The 10-year fracture risk at age 50 quadruples by age 80, and in general the incidence rate of osteoporotic fracture in men is about half that of women. Of note, the mortality and morbidity after hip fracture are much greater in men. There are many men whose osteoporosis is the result of specific causes such as oral glucocorticoid therapy, hypogonadism, or androgen withdrawal therapy for prostate cancer."

Epidemiology of osteoporosis in women with cognitive impairment. (Ment Retard. 2006)

Epidemiology, etiology, and diagnosis of osteoporosis. (Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2006)

[Etiology and epidemiology of osteoporosis in men] (Clin Calcium. 2006) "One-half to two-thirds of men with osteoporosis have secondary osteoporosis. The most important causes are heavy drinking, medication, and hypogonadism. Bone mineral density (BMD) slowly decreases with age in men, but prevalence of osteoporosis reached more than 20 percents among men aged 80 years and older."

Impact of increased overweight on the projected prevalence of osteoporosis in older women. (Osteoporos Int. 2006)

[Management of osteoporosis in patients with inhaled glucocorticoids.] (Clin Calcium. 2006) "Accumulating evidence suggests that the effect of inhaled glucocorticoids on bone is not small, especially in patients taking moderate or high doses for long periods of time."

Osteoporosis in otherwise healthy perimenopausal and early postmenopausal women: Physical and biochemical characteristics. (Osteoporos Int. 2006)

Osteoporosis in the elderly with chronic kidney disease. (Int Urol Nephrol. 2006)

[Phototype, vitamin D status and bone mineral density among women at risk of osteoporosis.] (Rev Med Interne. 2006) "CONCLUSIONS: Whatever their phototype, adult women concerned about precarious vitamin D status should undergo a vitamin D supplementation in combination with an adequate calcium intake all year long and a proper sun protection. Moreover, a physical activity maintenance should provide an additional benefit for prevention of osteoporosis."

Plasma Total Homocysteine Level and Bone Mineral Density (Arch Intern Med. 2006)

Rib fractures predict incident limb fractures: results from the European prospective osteoporosis study. (Osteoporos Int. 2006)

Ten-year prediction of osteoporosis from baseline bone mineral density: development of prognostic thresholds in healthy postmenopausal women. The Danish Osteoporosis Prevention Study. (Osteoporos Int. 2006)

The effect of age and bone mineral density on the absolute, excess, and relative risk of fracture in postmenopausal women aged 50-99: results from the National Osteoporosis Risk Assessment (NORA). (Osteoporos Int. 2006)

The population burden of fractures originates in women with osteopenia, not osteoporosis. (Osteoporos Int. 2006) "CONCLUSIONS: Reducing the population burden of fractures requires attention to women with osteopenia, as well as osteoporosis, because over half of the fragility fractures in the population arise in these individuals, and women with osteopenia plus a prevalent fracture have the same fracture risk as women with osteoporosis."
