Women With Anorexia Nervosa at High Risk for Bone Fractures
A study found that patients with anorexia nervosa have a particularly high risk for hip, vertebral, and upper arm fractures.

Which Type of Exercise Preserves Bone Health While Dieting?
Resistance exercise alone or in combination with aerobic exercise was found to be better than aerobic exercise alone in reducing weight loss-induced decreases in hip BMD.
The Independent Role of Elevated Serum Calcium on Bone Metabolism
Elevated calcium levels may lead to suboptimal growth of bone, according to the study’s findings.
Later Puberty Is Associated With Lower Bone Mineral Density Accrual
Older pubertal age was associated with lower BMD in adolescence and early adulthood, despite some catch-up during puberty.
Growth Velocity in Early Years of Life May Influence Skeletal Development
Researchers aimed to assess the association between height and weight velocities across different age periods with bone measures at age 7 years.
More Than 1 in 4 Middle-Aged Men, Women Have Low Bone Mineral Density
Osteopenia at femoral neck found in 28% of men, 26% of women aged 35 to 50 years.
Elderly Men Undertreated for Osteoporosis
Elderly men are significantly undertreated for osteoporosis.
Bone Health in Adolescents With Anorexia Nervosa
Adolescents with atypical anorexia nervosa have higher bone mass density on average than adolescents with anorexia nervosa, but still experience significant deficits in fat mass index.
Bone Health in Older Adults Not Improved by High-Dose Vitamin D
25(OH)D concentration increases with supplements, but no difference in BMD changes among 3 doses.
Pulsed Ultrasound May Be Effective for the Treatment of Rib Fractures
Pulsed ultrasound treatment may represent an effective option for the treatment of stable rib fractures.
