We have previously shown that there are pronounced age-related changes in human vertebral cancellous bone density and microarchitecture. However, the magnitude of these changes seemed to be dependent on zone location in the vertebral body-the central third vs. the areas adjacent to the endplates. The aim of the present study was, therefore, to investigate whether such zone-specific differences could...
The study investigates the relationship between static histomorphometry and bone strength of human lumbar vertebral bone. The ability of vertebral histomorphometry to predict vertebral bone strength was compared with that of vertebral densitometry, and also with histomorphometry and bone strength of iliac crest bone biopsies. The material comprised matched sets of second lumbar vertebrae, third lumbar...
We recently developed a new, rapid method for conducting static histomorphometry on large histologic sections. This method has now been applied on both iliac crest and lumbar vertebral bone to compare the age-related changes at these two skeletal sites and to investigate the correlation between the histomorphometric measures at the iliac crest and the vertebral body. The material comprised matched...
Aging of the human skeleton is characterized by decreased boneformation and bone mass and these changes are more pronounced inpatients with osteoporosis. As osteoblasts and adipocytes share a commonprecursor cell in the bone marrow, we hypothesized that decreased boneformation observed during aging and in patients with osteoporosis is theresult of enhanced adipognesis versus osteoblastogenesis from...
The aim of the present study was to assess age-related changes in the human spine by use of established static histomorphometry, and to determine how these static histomorphometric measures are interrelated in human cancellous bone tissue. The material comprised normal human lumbar vertebral bodies (L-2) from 12 women (19-96 years) and 12 men (23-91 years) selected from a larger autopsy material to...
