Lisa Nainggolan March 19, 2018 CHICAGO, Illinois — A small observational study suggests that following a Mediterranean diet may have a beneficial effect on bone mineral density (BMD) and muscle mass in women after menopause. “We found that the Mediterranean diet could be a useful nonmedical strategy for the prevention of osteoporosis and fractures in […]
Bone Density Test A bone density test is the only test that can diagnose osteoporosis before a broken bone occurs. This test helps to estimate the density of your bones and your chance of breaking a bone. NOF recommends a bone density test of the hip and spine by a central DXA machine to diagnose […]
FEBRUARY 09, 2017 Metabolism Palermo A, et al. This study was focused on determining the effect of Vitamin K (plasma levels, dietary intake, and oral supplementation) on bone health with specific emphasis in bone remodeling, mineral density and fragility fractures. Despite multiple observational and interventional studies on the association of Vitamin K and bone metabolism, […]

Ronald Grisanti D.C., D.A.B.C.O., D.A.C.B.N., M.S. Osteoporosis is reaching an epidemic status. It leads to 1.5 million fractures per year. The traditional way one is evaluated for osteoporosis is the standard Bone Density Test. Although important to have done, this is a static test and “only” provides information on the amount of bone that has already been […]
10.11.2015 0 COMMENTS However, modest bone loss seen with aerobic training by Nancy Walsh Senior Staff Writer, MedPage Today SEATTLE — Older adults who diet and exercise are more likely to experience bone loss if they engage in aerobic training than resistance training, a researcher reported here.

Researchers find no evidence that increasing intake will prevent fractures WEDNESDAY, Sept. 30, 2015 (HealthDay News) — Extra calcium may not protect aging bones after all. The findings appear online in two reviews published online Sept. 29 in The BMJ. One review focused on two dietary studies that compared how patients over 50 years of […]
Megan Brooks January 15, 2015 Older women who are satisfied with their lives have higher bone density than their unsatisfied peers, a finding that adds weight to the idea that psychological health influences physical health. Päivi Rauma “Osteoporosis is a common disease which easily leads to bone fracture, and hip fractures in particular can have serious consequences […]
Medscape Medical News from: The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) 2014 Story Source September 22, 2014 HOUSTON, Texas — Use of hypnotic medications for insomnia and use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are each associated with an increased risk for osteoporotic and hip fractures in older women and men, independent of other risk factors on […]
02.14.2014 by Salynn Boyles Contributing Writer, MedPage Today Oophorectomy prior to menopause was associated with a greater risk for carotid artery thickening and bone loss more than a decade post menopause, researchers found. After excluding women who used estrogen or bisphosphonates, women without their ovaries showed a larger rate of bone mineral density decline in […]
06.18.2013 SAN FRANCISCO — Insulin resistance — even if it hasn’t yet developed into overt diabetes — may cause bones to weaken, a cross-sectional study suggested. Among nondiabetic middle-age individuals, each doubling of the Homeostasis Model of Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) was associated with a 9% to 14% decrease in three markers of bone strength (P≤0.004 […]
