Summary This study assesses the possible association between poverty and osteoporosis and/or fragility fractures in a population of postmenopausal women. We found that postmenopausal women with low socioeconomic status had lower values of BMD at the lumbar spine, a higher prevalence of densitometric osteoporosis, and a higher prevalence of total and vertebral fractures. Introduction Some lifestyles...
Summary This study aimed at evaluating the effects of genistein (54 mg/die) on calcaneus and phalanges ultrasound (QUS) parameters and bone mineral density in osteopenic postmenopausal women. We concluded that genistein prevented bone loss in the osteopenic postmenopausal women and improves QUS parameters at the calcaneus and phalanges. Introduction The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects...
The aim of our study was to describe cross-sectional and longitudinal bone mineral decrease in pre-, peri-, and postmenopausal healthy women using a monoenergy X-ray densitometer specifically designed for forearm assessement. Measurements were performed on the most distal part of the radius (ultradistal, 55% of trabecular bone and 45% of trabecular bone), and on the distal part (distal, 13% of trabecular...
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a progressive disorder characterized by a decreased bone mass and increased susceptibility to fractures. Several investigations have suggested that one of the mechanisms through which estrogen prevents bone loss was a modulation on secretion or release of various cytokines that are known to influence bone remodeling, even if some recent data have challenged this hypothesis...
