Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone-strength and an increased risk of bone fracture, is becoming increasingly prevalent, and the health and economic burden of osteoporosis is only expected to increase as the population ages. Osteoporosis disproportionately effects women, and past studies looking at exercise as a preventative factor have primarily focused on white women. Through the FIERCE study, total body bone mineral density (BMD) measurements of 213 post-menopausal African- American women living in the Washington D.C. area were collected via dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), the gold standard in the field. Additionally, medical histories and anthropometric measurements were recorded. Participants were assigned to one of three exercise groups after the baseline visit- Supervised exercise, home based exercise, or control. We hypothesized that participants assigned to an exercise group would experience improvements or preservation in BMD levels among postmenopausal Black women at increased risk for breast cancer, as prior studies have showed exercise affecting hip BMD and resistance training preventing spine bone loss. After six months of maintaining their exercise assignments, BMD measurements were taken via DXA once again. Age at baseline had a significant effect on BMD level (p=0.0049) as did total percent body fat at baseline (p

This book was released on 2010 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osteoporosis is a serious health issue affecting 10 million Americans, with an additional 44 million being at risk. Due to the morbidity and mortality associated with fractures caused by osteoporosis, it is an important public health concern. Some researchers suggest that African-American women fracture at a lower rate when compared to Caucasians with the same bone mineral density (BMD). However, when African-American women do fracture, they have higher mortality and morbidity rates. Data regarding risk factors and prevalence of low BMD among African American and Caucasian college-aged women are limited. Purpose. The primary purpose of this research was to explain the variance in bone mineral density (BMD) in African-American and Caucasian college-aged women. A secondary purpose was to evaluate the differences in osteoporosis knowledge among college-aged African-American and Caucasian women. Methodology. This study included 101 women ages 18 to 30 years. Fifty participants were African-American and 51 were Caucasian. Anthropometric measurements, osteoporosis knowledge, bone mineral density, body composition, physical activity and nutrient intake were assessed in the present study. Results. In this sample, 38.6% had low spinal BMD and 7.9% had low femoral bone mineral density. Femoral and spinal BMD were regressed on seven potential predictors: race, family history of osteoporosis, weight, current physical activity, osteoporosis knowledge, length of time on oral contraceptives, and calcium intake. Multiple regression analysis showed that BMI/weight and current physical activity were the only two independent variables that significantly predicted spinal and femoral BMD. The final model explained 14.9% of the variance in spinal BMD and 13.1% of the variance in femoral BMD. Osteoporosis knowledge was not significantly different between African-Americans and Caucasians. Conclusions. Contrary to what was hypothesized, race was not a significant predictor of spinal or femoral BMD. Therefore, it is important for both African-American and Caucasian women alike to engage in osteoporosis-preventive behaviors. If women between the ages of 18 and 30 are made aware of their low-BMD status, they can begin bone-building activities before they reach peak bone mass. This provides an opportunity to decrease risk for osteoporosis and related fractures later in life.

Book excerpt: Since the publication of the first edition, the U.S. Surgeon General released the first-ever report on bone health and osteoporosis in October 2004. This report focuses even more attention on the devastating impact osteoporosis has on millions of lives. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, 2 million American men have osteoporosis, and another 12 million are at risk for this disease. Yet despite the large number of men affected, the lack of awareness by doctors and their patients puts men at a higher risk that the condition may go undiagnosed and untreated. It is estimated that one-fifth to one-third of all hip fractures occur in men. This second edition brings on board John Bilezikian and Dirk Vanderschueren as editors with Eric Orwoll. The table of contents is more than doubling with 58 planned chapters. The format is larger – 8.5 x 11. This edition of Osteoporosis in Men brings together even more eminent investigators and clinicians to interpret developments in this growing field, and describe state-of-the-art research as well as practical approaches to diagnosis, prevention and therapy. - Brings together more eminent investigators and clinicians to interpret developments in this growing field - Describes state-of-the-art research as well as practical approaches to diagnosis, prevention and therapy - There is no book on the market that covers osteoporosis in men as comprehensively as this book

This book was released on 2016 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is expected that by 2030, elderly minorities will comprise 20.2 million of the total 72.8 million population of Americans over 65 years (Pollard, 2013). For African American women over the age of 50, 5% have osteoporosis and an estimated 35% have low bone mass (NOF, n.d.). It is estimated that while over 40% of African American women over 80 years meet criteria for treatment, yet less than 12% are actually treated (Cauley, 2011). Striking disparities exist between African American and Caucasian women’s likelihood for dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) referral, the measurement tool that is used to diagnosis osteoporosis. (Hamrick, Cao, Agbafe-Mosley & Cummings, 2012; Miller et al., 2005; Wanko, 2003). When African American females suffer a hip fracture, they show a higher morbidity and mortality rate when compared to their Caucasian counterparts (Geller & Derman, 2001; Kidambi, Partington, & Binkley, 2005; NOF, 2014). A disproportionate number of African Americans are limited in their physical and mental abilities after a fracture compared to Caucasian patients (Bohannon, 1999; Geller & Derman, 2005; Furstenberg & Mezey, 1987). African American women are twice more likely to die from a hip fracture than Caucasian women within the first year of the fall (Geller & Derman, 2001). Interventions are needed to identify health care provider biases regarding osteoporosis screening (Neuner, J., Zhang, X., Sparapani, R., Laud, P. & Nattinger, A., 2007). Many, including African Americans, perceive only Caucasians to be susceptible to the disease (Geller & Derman, 2001; NOF, 2013). Further, the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) found the average age for discussion initiation between mothers and daughters about osteoporosis does not occur until after peak bone mass is reached (2011). Purpose: This research project aimed to investigate the relationship between osteoporosis knowledge, bone mineral density (BMD), risk factors of low BMD, and preventative behaviors among African American and Caucasian mothers and their biological adolescent daughters. Additionally, this study seeks to explore whether mothers and daughter discuss osteoporosis preventative behaviors. Methods: Thirty-seven pairs of African American and Caucasian mothers and their 13-18 year old biological daughters participated in this study. Femoral and spinal BMD using DXA were obtained. Participants also completed the Osteoporosis Risk Factor Assessment (ORFA), Osteoporosis Knowledge Test (OKT), Health Communication Survey and an online calcium quiz to measure preventative behaviors, knowledge, calcium intake, and osteoporosis discussion engagement. Results: Over a third (33%) of African American and 26% of Caucasian mothers in this study had osteopenic BMD at the hip and spine. African American mothers and daughters had lower overall spinal and hip bone density compared to their Caucasian counterparts. Body fat and BMI among African American and Caucasians were significantly different. There were no significant differences in mean spinal or femoral BMD based on the predictor variables. Independent t-tests for significant differences in each observed mother-daughter pair between races was measures and compared across BMD, calcium intake and physical activity. Paired samples test indicated significant differences between African American and Caucasian mother-daughter pairs at the L-4 of the lumbar spine (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first-ever Surgeon General's Report on bone health and osteoporosis illustrates the large burden that bone disease places on our Nation and its citizens. Like other chronic diseases that disproportionately affect the elderly, the prevalence of bone disease and fractures is projected to increase markedly as the population ages. If these predictions come true, bone disease and fractures will have a tremendous negative impact on the future well-being of Americans. But as this report makes clear, they need not come true: by working together we can change the picture of aging in America. Osteoporosis, fractures, and other chronic diseases no longer should be thought of as an inevitable part of growing old. By focusing on prevention and lifestyle changes, including physical activity and nutrition, as well as early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, Americans can avoid much of the damaging impact of bone disease and other chronic diseases. This Surgeon General's Report brings together for the first time the scientific evidence related to the prevention, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of bone disease. More importantly, it provides a framework for moving forward. The report will be another effective tool in educating Americans about how they can promote bone health throughout their lives. This first-ever Surgeon General's Report on bone health and osteoporosis provides much needed information on bone health, an often overlooked aspect of physical health. This report follows in the tradition of previous Surgeon Generals' reports by identifying the relevant scientific data, rigorously evaluating and summarizing the evidence, and determining conclusions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book of its kind to focus solely on the female athlete triad - its origins, its recognition, and most importantly, its management. Since the symptoms themselves cover a range of medical specialties, chapters are written by experts in a number of relevant fields - sports medicine, orthopedics, endocrinology, and pediatrics - with an eye toward overall care of the young female athlete. Additionally, each chapter includes suggestions on how to educate and communicate with young athletes and their parents, as well as trainers and coaches, on how to manage the illness outside of the direct clinical setting. The female athlete triad is often seen in sports where low body weight is emphasized, such as gymnastics, figure skating, and running, though it can appear in any sport or activity. The interrelated symptoms - eating disorders, amenorrhea, and low bone mass - exist on a spectrum of severity and are serious and potentially life-threatening if not properly treated. Psychological problems, in addition to medical ones, are not uncommon. The Female Athlete Triad: A Clinical Guide discusses all of these areas for a well-rounded and in-depth approach to the phenomenon and will be a useful reference for any clinician working with female athletes across the lifespan.

Book excerpt: There are a number of therapies and treatments available for the prevention of fragility fractures in people thought to be at risk, or to prevent further fractures in those who have already had one or more fragility fractures. However, identifying who will benefit from preventative treatment is imprecise. A number of risk assessment tools are available to predict fracture incidence over a period of time, and these may be used to aid decision making. These tools are limited in that they may not include all risk factors, or may lack details of some risk factors. Tools are dependent on the accuracy of the epidemiological data used to derive them and tools validated in other populations may not apply to the UK. Two tools, FRAX and QFracture, are available for use in the UK. It is not clear whether these tools are equally accurate and whether choice of tool should depend on circumstances. This short clinical guideline aims to provide guidance on the selection and use of risk assessment tools in the care of people who may be at risk of fragility fractures in all settings in which NHS care is received.

Download or read book Glucocorticoid-induced Osteoporosis written by Andrea Giustina and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osteoporosis is one of the most clinically relevant disabling chronic disease encountered in clinical practice. A common cause of osteoporosis is glucocorticoid excess, as glucocorticoids may increase bone resorption, inhibit bone formation, have indirect actions on bone by decreasing intestinal calcium absorption and induce hypercalciuria. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the effects of glucocorticoids on bone metabolism and structure and on the diagnosis and treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. It aims at providing updated information on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this often dramatic complication of glucocorticoid excess. Being one of the few publications completely devoted to glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis it will heighten the awareness of specialists who prescribe glucocorticoids of the clinical relevance of this treatment complication. 'Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis' is addressed to clinical experts as well as to general practitioners who will both benefit from the comprehensive and integrative view of the management of patients exposed to glucocorticoids.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the previous two volumes of this series, we presented classic problems in internal medicine as illustrated by actual cases cared for in our institution. It has been gratifying for us to see the interest that these volumes have generated with students and trainees. We remain committed to the case method of instruction, and believe that there is no better method to learn medicine than to have an individual patient problem as the basis for study of pathophysiology, natural history, diagnosis and management. We hope that our readers find this third volume as enjoyable and instructive as the editors found it. Juan M. Bowen, MD Ernest L.
