Level of dairy intake does not affect the rate of bone mineral density loss or fracture risk among perimenopausal women.
Guidance Issued for Osteoporosis Management During COVID-19
In a joint guidance document, recommendations are presented for the management of osteoporosis during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Which Type of Exercise Preserves Bone Health While Dieting?

Shorter Sleep Duration Associated With Osteoporosis in Postmenopausal Women
Epidemiologic data indicate that shorter sleep duration (≤5 hours per night) is associated with lower bone mineral density in postmenopausal women.
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.
Recommendations for Secondary Fracture Prevention in Elderly Patients
The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research developed 13 clinical recommendations (7 primary and 6 secondary) to address the undertreatment of osteoporosis-related fractures and prevent secondary fracture among persons aged ≥65 years with hip or vertebral fractures.
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.
Assessing BMD in Transgender and Gender-Nonconforming Individuals: 2019 ISCD Position Statement
Based on emerging evidence and expert opinion, a task force put together by the International Society for Clinical Densitometry created position statements on the assessment of BMD in transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals.
