Retinol intake, bone mineral density and falls in elderly women

Creator:: Gramer, Carrie M.
Abstract:: This study was designed to investigate the relationship between retinol intake, bone mineral density, and falls in 101 elderly women aged 72 to 90 years (78.6 yrs. ± 4.3 yrs.). Bone mineral density (BMD) (g/cm²) of the left hip, anterior-posterior lumbar spine (L3), and lateral spine (L3) was measured using...

Specific loading protocols to promote bone mineral density in young women

Creator:: LaRiviere, Jane A.
Abstract:: Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD), bone fragility, and an increased risk of osteoporotic fracture. The disease is systemic in nature but potential solutions include exercises prescriptions that target the clinically relevant sites of osteoporosis (hip and spine) to improve bone mass. The aim of this dissertation...

Sex differences in vertebral bone characteristic, loading patterns and the factor of risk in prepubertal children

Creator:: Fuller, Arwen A.
Abstract:: Sex differences in bone mass and size are thought to contribute to the greater incidence of vertebral fractures in women. While these sex differences are widely recognized, the relative contributions of bone mass, bone density, and bone size to the differences in vertebral strength and fracture risk between men and...

The effects of high-impact exercise on bone mass in adolescent girls

Creator:: Witzke, Kara A.
Abstract:: We evaluated anthropometric and performance measures which best predict bone mineral density (BMD) in 54 adolescent girls (14.6±0.5y; 22.7±14.0 months past menarche). BMD for the whole body, femoral neck, greater trochanter, lumbar spine (L2-L4), and mid-femoral shaft was assessed using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (Hologic QDR 1000/W). Whole body lean...

Potential influences of oral contraceptive use and physical activity on bone health : a one-year prospective study in young women

Creator:: Almstedt Shoepe, Hawley Chase
Abstract:: Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease affecting 44 million Americans. A primary strategy to prevent osteoporosis is to develop a high peak bone mass in youth. Oral Contraceptives (OCs) alter hormones in women and could affect bone mass development. The interaction between OCs and skeletal mineralization is poorly understood. PURPOSE: Our...

A prospective study of functional performance balance self-efficacy, and bone mineral density in community-dwelling elderly women

Creator:: Gunter, Katherine B.
Abstract:: In the United States, falls are the leading cause of unintentional death with one of every three people 65 years and older falling each year. Falls account for approximately 95% of hip fractures among older adults and falls to the side predominate hip fracture related falls in this population. However,...

The effects of impact plus resistance training on the musculoskeletal system in premenopausal women

Creator:: Winters, Kerri M.
Abstract:: Low bone mineral density (BMD) and poor stability both contribute to increased risk of fractures associated with a fall. The aim of this dissertation was two-fold. The first study, a cross-sectional analysis, sought to determine the anthropometric and/or performance variables that best predicted BMD and postural stability in mature, premenopausal...

Bone gains in adolescent athletes and non-athletes

Creator:: Rinder, Todd Anthony
Abstract:: Discordance in bone mass between young adult swimmers and soccer players may be a direct result of differences in bone loading patterns that influence bone mineralization during growth. Our aim was to evaluate whether sports participation (soccer and swimming) had an independent effect on bone mass accrual at the hip...

Defining intensity of skeletal loading in children

Creator:: Bauer, Jeremy J.
Abstract:: While exercise can be prescribed for improving cardiovascular and muscle health, no prescription exists for increasing bone mass. Because bone deformation rate has been identified as an important variable related to osteogenesis, estimates of skeletal loading during human activities likely characterize the associated osteogenic stimulus. However, estimates of body segment...
