Abstract This study predicts the burden of incident osteoporosis-related fractures and costs in United States, by sex, age group, race/ethnicity, fracture type, from 2005 to 2025. Total were >2 million, costing nearly $17 billion 2005. Men account for >25% burden. Rapid growth disease is projected among nonwhite populations. Introduction: The aging U.S. population will likely lead greater prevalence osteoporosis. Policy makers require precise projections demographic subgroups...
Inadequate dietary intake of calcium and vitamin D may contribute to the high prevalence osteoporosis among older persons.
The goal of our study was to estimate the prevalence osteoporosis and low bone mass based on mineral density (BMD) at femoral neck lumbar spine in adults 50 years older United States (US). We applied estimates or (adjusted by age, sex, race/ethnicity 2010 Census) for noninstitutionalized population aged from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2010 US Census counts determine total number residents with mass. There were more than 99 million 2010. Based an overall 10.3%...
The effectiveness of calcium in retarding bone loss older postmenopausal women is unclear. Earlier work suggested that the who were most likely to benefit from supplementation those with low intakes.
OBJECTIVE—The purpose of this study was to prospectively examine the association between vitamin D and calcium intake risk type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—In Nurses’ Health Study, we followed 83,779 women who had no history diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or cancer at baseline for development Vitamin from diet supplements assessed every 2–4 years. During 20 years follow-up, documented 4,843 incident cases RESULTS—After adjusting multiple potential confounders, there total...
Abstract Few studies have evaluated risk factors for bone loss in elderly women and men. Thus, we examined 4-year longitudinal change mineral density (BMD) at the hip, radius, spine elders. Eight hundred men from population-based Framingham Osteoporosis Study had BMD assessed 1988-1989 again 1992-1993. was measured femoral neck, trochanter, Ward's area, radial shaft, ultradistal lumbar using Lunar densitometers. We relation of following baseline to percent loss: age, weight, height, smoking,...
We sought to compare the effects of combined calcium and vitamin D supplementation versus placebo on blood glucose markers inflammation in nondiabetic adults aged > or =65 years.A total 314 Caucasian without diabetes received either 500 mg citrate 700 IU D(3) placebos daily for 3 years a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial designed bone-related outcomes. In post hoc analysis, fasting plasma (FPG), insulin sensitivity (estimated by homeostasis model assessment resistance [HOMA-IR]),...
Abstract Background All proposed definitions of sarcopenia include the measurement muscle mass, but techniques and threshold values used vary. Indeed, literature does not establish consensus on best technique for measuring lean body mass. Thus, objective is hampered by limitations intrinsic to assessment tools. The aim this study was review methods assess mass reach development a reference standard. Methods Literature reviews were performed members European Society Clinical Economic Aspects...
The cytokines IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha cause cachexia hypermetabolism in animal models, but their role human inflammation remains controversial. relationship between vitro cytokine production metabolism was examined 23 adults with RA healthy control subjects matched on age, sex, race, weight. Body composition measured by multicompartmental analysis of body cell mass, water, fat, bone mass. Resting energy expenditure (REE) indirect calorimetry. Cytokine PBMC radioimmunoassay. Usual intake,...
