Microarchitecture Parameters Describe Bone Structure and Its Strength Better Than BMD
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS Some papers have shown that bone mineral density (BMD) may not be accurate in predicting fracture risk. Recently microarchitecture parameters have been reported to give information on bone characteristics. The aim of this study was to find out if the values of volume, fractal dimension, and bone mineral density are correlated with bone strength. METHODS Forty-two h...

متن کاملQuantitative trait loci for BMD and bone strength in an intercross between domestic and wildtype chickens.
UNLABELLED With chicken used as a model species, we used QTL analysis to examine the genetic contribution to bone traits. We report the identification of four QTLs for femoral traits: one for bone strength, one for endosteal circumference, and two affecting mineral density of noncortical bone. INTRODUCTION BMD is a highly heritable phenotype, governed by elements at numerous loci. In studies ...
متن کاملPhysically Active Men Show Better Semen Parameters than Their Sedentary Counterparts
Objective The quality of semen depends upon several factors such as environment, life style, physical activity, age and occupation. The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the conventional and functional semen parameters in men who practice vigorous physical activity to those of sedentary men. MaterialsAndMethods Semen samples from 17 physically active men and 15 sedentary men were col...
متن کاملBone mass, microarchitecture and strength are influenced by race/ethnicity in young adult men and women.
Lower rates of fracture in both Blacks compared to Whites, and men compared to women are not completely explained by differences in bone mineral density (BMD). Prior evidence suggests that more favorable cortical bone microarchitecture may contribute to reduced fracture rates in older Black compared to White women, however it is not known whether these differences are established in young adult...
