Bone Mineral Density

Rates of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures have fallen significantly among patients with rheumatoid arthritis over the past 24 years, according to a single-center study published in RMD Open.

Worse physical function may be the factor contributing to an increased fracture risk for women aged 75 to 80 years with type 2 diabetes, according to a study published in JAMA Network Open.

Two fracture risk assessment tools incorporating femoral neck bone mineral density did not outperform femoral neck BMD alone for predicting hip fractures among adults aged 80 years and older, according to study data.

Published results showed exercise in combination with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist treatment may be an effective weight loss strategy that preserves clinically relevant site-specific bone mineral density.

BOSTON — The percentage of women with osteoporosis who also had diabetes increased from 2009-2010 to 2017-2018, despite a decline in overall diabetes rates for women aged 50 years and older, according to data presented at ENDO 2024.

NEW ORLEANS —A small group of adults with mild autonomous cortisol secretion had an increase in spine trabecular bone score following adrenalectomy, according to a speaker at the AACE annual meeting.

Low bone mineral density may be a risk factor for developing cirrhosis, according to study findings published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

The use of racial-ethnic adjustments in the U.S. version of the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool may be underestimating fractures among underrepresented groups, and new, more accurate tools are needed, according to a task force report.

Results showed patients who take bone mineral density-reducing medications, such as antipsychotics, serotonin reuptake inhibitors, glucocorticoids and proton pump inhibitors, may be at increased risk for revision total knee arthroplasty.
