Relationship between Bone Mineral Density and Maturity Index in Cervical Smears, Serum Estradiol Levels and Body Mass Index
OBJECTIVES Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease with a consequent increased risk of fracture, decreased quality of life and economic burdens for both the patients and health care system. While Dual energy X-Ray absorptiometry remains the gold standard for assessment of bone mineral density, it cannot be requested for all patients for obvious reasons. By determining other variables that m...
متن کاملChanges in bone mineral density and metabolism in women: evaluation of bodily characteristics, bone metabolic markers and bone mineral density.
The relationship of bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolic markers in women is an interesting field of research. In this study, we aimed to clarify the relationship of body weight, bone metabolic markers and BMD. The subjects were 72 women. The levels of serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), serum type I collagen-cross-linked peptide (s-NTx) and urinary deoxypyridinoline (u-DPD...
متن کاملBone and Mineral Metabolism
Background: Evidence suggests that vitamin D status in adults is positively associated with calcium absorption fraction and inversely associated with serum PTH. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationships among vitamin D status, PTH, and calcium absorption in midpubertal boys and girls. Methods: Calcium absorption was measured by using a stable isotope method in 93 young adole...
متن کاملStandardizing Infra-red Measures of Bone Mineral Crystallinity: an Experimental Approach
Three experiments demonstrate that infra-red spectroscopic measures of bone mineral crystallinity are partially dependent upon sample preparation methods. Intensive grinding of bone samples for Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopic analysis results in a net decrease in splitting factor (SF), a common measure of apatite crystallinity. If grinding is overly intensive, SF measurement ma...
متن کاملRelationship of Weight and Body Mass Index with Femur and Lumbar Vertebrae Bone Mineral Density and Content in Premenopausal Women
Purpose: Given that weight and body mass index (BMI) are considered as modifiable factors in osteoporosis, the present study aimed to examine the relationship of weight and BMI with bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) at the femur and lumbar vertebrae in perimenopausal women. Methods: In this descriptive-correlational study, we measured the bone density of the femur and...
