Mashup Score: 0Vitamin D and fractures - 1 year(s) ago
Vitamin D was identified in the 1920s as the active principal in cod liver oil’s capacity to cure nutritional rickets. Since then, vitamin D has been regarded as a bone tonic by some; although, the prevention and cure of rickets and osteomalacia remain the only undisputed medical use of vitamin D. Also undisputed is that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, a metabolite of vitamin D, is a potent regulator of…

These findings do not support concerns that bolus doses of vitamin D administered monthly increase fracture risk. Long-term supplementation might reduce the incidence of total fractures, but additional research is needed to clarify this effect.

Mashup Score: 2Osteoporosis in men - 1 year(s) ago
Osteoporosis in men is a common but often overlooked disorder by clinicians. The criterion for osteoporosis diagnosis in men is similar to that in women—namely, a bone mineral density (BMD) that is 2·5 standard deviations or more below the mean for the young adult population (aged 20–29 years; T-score –2·5 or lower), measured at the hip or lumbar spine. Sex steroids are important for bone health…

Increased fracture risk represents an emerging and severe complication of diabetes. The resulting prolonged immobility and hospitalisations can lead to substantial morbidity and mortality. In type 1 diabetes, bone mass and bone strength are reduced, resulting in up to a five-times greater risk of fractures throughout life. In type 2 diabetes, fracture risk is increased despite a normal bone mass….

Childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors are at increased risk of reduced bone mineral density. Clinical practice surveillance guidelines are important for timely diagnosis and treatment of these survivors, which could improve bone mineral density parameters and prevent fragility fractures. Discordances across current late effects guidelines necessitated international harmonisation…

Mashup Score: 2Physical activity and skeletal health in adults - 1 year(s) ago
The purpose of this Review is to examine the associations between physical activity and skeletal health, with an emphasis on observational studies with fracture outcomes and randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of physical activity interventions in adults older than 40 years. In general, increased physical activity—primarily leisure time activity or moderate or vigorous physical activity—is…
