متن کاملBone loss: Epidemiology of bone loss
Bone loss occurs when the cellular events of bone formation are quantitatively larger than bone formation. This manuscript discusses the measurement of bone loss, occurrence in the population, risk factors and consequences of bone loss. Recent developments in bone mass measurement and biomarkers have improved our ability to assess bone loss. This process is a normal concomitant of ageing. There...

AF manifests as a result of multiple heterogeneous groups of disorders. For example, AF can occur idiopathically (so-called lone AF), be related to familial inheritance with specific gene...

Whether bone size increases as a result of periosteal apposition and whether a strength index accounting for both bone density and bone size might predict the risk of fracture better than bone density alone are unclear. METHODS Bone mass and the skeletal structu...
