Objectives: Aim of this study was to evaluate increased body mass index (BMI) as an anthropometric factor, predisposing to lower rates of bone turnover or changes in bone balance after menopause. Material and methods: For this purpose, we calculated BMI, and measured spinal (BMD SP ) and femoral bone mineral density (BMD FN ) and biochemical markers of bone formation (serum...
The analgesic activity of salmon calcitonin (subcutaneous or intranasal) has been demonstrated in several prospective clinical trials, in patients suffering different painful skeletal conditions, including recent nontraumatic osteoporotic vertebral fractures. The mechanism of the analgesic effect of calcitonin is not clear. It is possible that specific binding sites for salmon calcitonin exist in...
Abstract. We studied the relationships between weight variables and spine bone mineral density (BMD) in 183 postmenopausal women aged 3476 years. There was a significant positive correlation of current body mass index (cBMI) and % of ideal body weight (IBW) with BMD. Moreover, the increase in BMI and % IBW was also positively and significantly associated with a higher age-adjusted lumbar BMD. Weight...
