Factors that affect maternal bone mineral density may be related to the risk of nutritional rickets in their offspring. Our aim was to determine the relationship between maternal areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and rickets in Nigerian children. Using a case-control design, we measured forearm aBMD in 56 and 135 mothers of children with and without nutritional rickets, respectively. Active rickets...
Nigerian toddlers with low dietary calcium intakes increased forearm bone mineral density (BMD) after 18months of calcium supplementation compared with placebo. However, it is not known if this bone mineral accretion is sustained after calcium supplement withdrawal. We therefore investigated the influence of prior calcium supplementation on forearm BMD 12months after withdrawal of the supplement.Nigerian...
Low adult bone mass is linked to osteoporosis and fractures and is dependent on the extent of childhood and adolescent bone mineralization. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of 1-year supplementation of calcium, multivitamin with zinc along with vitamin-D on bone mass accrual of school-going premenarchal girls from low income groups in Pune, India. Double-blind, matched-pair, cluster,...
Nutritional rickets in Nigerian children usually results from dietary calcium insufficiency. Typical dietary calcium intakes in African children are about 200mg daily (approximately 20–28% of US RDAs for age). We sought to determine if rickets could be prevented with supplemental calcium or with an indigenous food rich in calcium. We enrolled Nigerian children aged 12 to 18months from three urban...
Following tooth loss, bone structure in the human maxilla and mandible is affected by extensive remodeling. It is important to characterize this bone structure as the primary stability of endosseous implants depends on its bony surrounding. Senile edentulous maxillae and mandibles of female and male human corpses were used. Different types of implants were placed into respective jaws under simulation...
