Geriatric Patients May Underreport Pain Severity Compared With Younger Patients
Geriatric patients reported lower pain scores for rib fracture than younger patients, contributing to the ideology that geriatric patients may underreport pain severity.
Dairy Intake Not Found to Affect BMD During Menopausal Transition
Level of dairy intake does not affect the rate of bone mineral density loss or fracture risk among perimenopausal women.
Overweight or Obese BMI in Preschool Associated With Increased Fracture Risk
Overweight and obesity during preschool age are associated with increased risk for fracture in childhood.
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.
