This study emphasizes on early screening and treatment in study group to avoid long-term complications.

Clinical strategies for managing osteoporosis in this population varied across the five participating European countries, reflecting their different guidelines, regulations and standards of care.

Future studies should investigate possible associations between intake of vitamin K1, K2 and fracture risk.

Some psychological peculiarities could be related to physical activity in women with osteoporosis.

This is probably related to the different lifestyle factors in different societies.

The exact reasons for this are unknown, but drug therapy for osteoporosis and fall prevention programs might have influenced the results. Some nutrient intakes might explain the regional differences not only in Japan but also in some other countries.

These findings disagree with our expectations considering the bone mineral density and vitamin D status of Iranian population, especially women. Breastfeeding could be one of the probable protective factors.

The results show that the age-adjusted incidence has stabilized in recent years. Among subjects aged 50–59 years, a declining fracture rate is observed. Increasing awareness and a healthier ageing population could partly explain this improvement. Introduction  Studies published in the early 1990s projected that half of the world’s hip fractures would occur in Asia, mostly in China, by 2050. Whether this prediction will become a reality is not clear. This study was conducted to determine the incidence (per 100,000 persons) of hip fracture in Southern Chinese subjects ≥50 years in Hong Kong between 1995 and 2004 and compare them with the fracture rates during the pr...

Therefore, we suggest that an immediate prevention program among Ethiopian women be started and guidelines for care-givers be developed, in order to raise their awareness for osteoporosis.

Methods  Whole body bone mineral content (WBMC) in (g), whole body bone area (WBA) in (cm2), and %BF were measured using DEXA (Lunar Prodigy, USA). Regression analysis of within-pair differences was used to assess the strength of the association, and the analysis was stratified by gender and age group, where age cut-offs were based on ages at spermarche or menarche estimated from large population based studies in China. Males were stratified at ages before 14 and age 14–18, and females at...

Weight has a stronger effect on BMD than does the height. The prevalence of osteoporosis in the lumber spine was more than double that in the femur neck in postmenopausal women.

Objectives  The aim of the study was to evaluate age-related changes of hand bone mineral density (BMD) in both sexes using data obtained by digital radiographic densitometry in a large Chuvashian cohort. Methods  The data were gathered in 1994 (557 individuals) and 2002 (513 individuals). The latter sample included 260 individuals who were studied only during the second expedition and 253 individuals who had been previously investigated in 1994. Digital radiographic densitometry was employed to evaluate hand BMD. Statisti...

Due to the differences in ethnicity, diet, lifestyle, and small body size, BMD values of Iranian subjects were generally lower than those of the American population.

Methods  A cohort of 1,543 inhabitants aged 40–79 years was established using resident registration in 1989. Of these, 400 participants were selected and divided into four age strata, each containing 50 men and 50 women. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire and anthropometric measurements were taken. In 1990, baseline radiographic examinations of the thoracolumbar spine in anteroposterior and lateral views were performed. Radiographic examinations of the same sites were performed on the same participants in 2000. All VFx were diagnosed by the sa...

This information should alert the health authorities so they may begin to initiate plans of prevention and management of these very debilitating injuries. The incidence of hip fractures in Salamanca (Spain) has shown a marked increase during past decades. The aim of this work is to ascertain the real incidence of hip fractures in the province of Salamanca (Spain) in the period 1994–2002, and base on these results make a prediction for the future (up to the year 2015). This present study is based on collected data from the discharge register of the University Hospital of Salamanca (100% codified) f...

The present study failed to find associations between vitamin D status and gravity-center sway, grip strength, or the incidence of falls. This may be due to relatively high serum 25(OH)D level differences in this population. However, a significant association between vitamin D status and postural sway was found in the vitamin-D-insufficient subgroup, suggesting supplementation of vitamin D should be considered for those with vitamin D insufficiency.

The performance of these risk indices among women in Morocco was similar to that reported earlier for other samples in Asian countries, the US, and Belgium. The OST and other risk indices are effective and efficient tools to help target high-risk women for DXA measurement.

This risk is almost 2.6 times greater in demented people living in residential care. These data may be useful in health policy decisions and strongly support development of targeted HF prevention strategies, planning and allocation of resources and prioritisation of prevention efforts toward those with dementia, especially in residential care.
