Both late menarcheal age and low calcium intake (Ca intake) during growth are risk factors for osteoporosis, probably by impairing peak bone mass. We investigated whether lasting gain in areal mineral density (aBMD) response to increased Ca varies according and, conversely, could influence age. In an initial study, 144 prepubertal girls were randomized a double-blind controlled trial receive either supplement (Ca-suppl.) of 850 mg/d or placebo from 7.9-8.9 yr. Mean aBMD determined dual...
Whether peak bone mass is low among children with fractures remains uncertain. In a cohort of 125 girls followed over 8.5 years, 42 subjects reported 58 fractures. Among those, BMC gain at multiple sites and vertebral size pubertal maturity were significantly decreased. Hence, childhood may be markers acquisition persistent skeletal fragility.Fractures in result from deficit accrual during rapid longitudinal growth. persists beyond this period however unknown.BMC the spine, radius, hip,...
ABSTRACT A majority of low-trauma fractures occur in subjects with only moderate decrease areal bone mineral density (aBMD), ie, osteopenia, assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) or low fracture probability FRAX. We investigated whether peripheral microstructure and estimated strength improve the prediction incident beyond central DXA In this population-based study 740 postmenopausal women (aged 65.0 ± 1.4 years) from Geneva Retirees Cohort (ISRCTN registry 11865958), we at...
ABSTRACT Whether low muscle mass predisposes to fracture is still poorly understood. In the diagnosis of sarcopenia, different thresholds for lean have been proposed but comparative data these criteria against hard outcomes such as fractures are lacking. This study aimed investigate prevalence according used in operational definitions sarcopenia and their association with 3-year incidence a cohort healthy 63- 67-year-old community dwellers. longitudinal analysis 913 participants (mean age...
Vertebral fractures are independent risk factors for vertebral and nonvertebral fractures. Since often missed, the relatively new introduction of fracture assessment (VFA) imaging lateral spine during DXA-measurement hips may contribute to detect We advocate performing a VFA in all patients with recent visiting liaison service (FLS). Fracture services (FLS) important models delivering secondary prevention older adults presenting fragility fracture. While commonly age, clinical (including...
Elderly patients represent an increasing proportion of emergency department (ED) admissions. When no specific complaint is identified, the reason for referral commonly called "home care impossible". The aim this study was to describe a population elderly who present ED 1200-bed university hospital without complaint, and assess how they were evaluated in ED.Data on triage, mode admission discharge collected. After initial evaluation ED, classified two categories: (1) identified with medical...
