background: we aimed to define and compare the risk factors of spinal and femoral osteoporosis in postmenopausal iranian women. method: it was a multicentre based study carried out in two stages during 2002 to 2005 among post menopausal women in tehran. in first stage case group included 140 women with diagnosed spinal osteoporosis using dexa method as definition of who and controls were 167 wo...

background:   objective: it was investigated whether methylprednisolone had a favorable effect on osteoporotic bone tissue in oophorectomy induced osteoporotic rats whose endogenous adrenaline levels are suppressed with metyrosine.   materials and methods: bone mineral density, number of osteoblast-osteoclast, bone osteocalcin levels and alkaline phosphatase (alp) measurements were performed. o...

Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by losing bone tissue, resulting in increased fragility and an risk of fractures. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) plays essential role the development osteoporosis. High levels PTH for prolonged periods lead to decrease density. However, intermittent administration effective treatment osteoporosis, suggesting that careful dosing can have therapeutic benefit

abstract background: osteoporosis is a major public health threat, and hip fracture is a serious consequence of osteoporosis. apatient with an osteoporosis-related hip fracture has an increased risk for a second hip fracture. the effect of osteoporosis management on the risk of recurrent hip fracture was evaluated in this study. methods: 58 hip fracture patients older than 50yr and bmd < 2.5 we...

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder that reduces bone strength and ultimately increases the risk of fractures. The socioeconomic status is one of the important factors affecting health, and it is confirmed as a predictor of various diseases and deaths. This study aimed to determine the relationship between osteoporosis and socioeconomic status. Methods: This study was a case-cont...

Background: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and increased fracture risk. Since Panoramic image is a feasible and relatively routine imaging technique in dentistry; it could provide an opportunistic chance for screening osteoporosis. In this regard, numerous...
