“…Six of the 10 were conducted in the United States, 14,22,27,28,30,31 with one each done in Spain, 29 Canada, 23 the United Kingdom, 25 and Australia. 24 None of the studies included any male subjects.…”

“…After review of the full set of extracted data, data from 10 of the 24 articles were determined to be sufficiently compatible and complete for inclusion in the meta-analysis. 14,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] Specifically, all 10 studies gave the average BMD measurement and standard deviation for subject groups' "total dominant arm." Thirteen of the other 14 articles for which data had been extracted were excluded because they provided data for BMD measured at other parts of the arm (eg, radius, humerus).…”

“…BMD was measured using Lunar-manufactured equipment in five of the studies, 14,23,24,30,31 whereas Hologic-manufactured equipment was used in the other five studies. 22,25,[27][28][29] Analysis Using upper-extremity BMD as the outcome measure, we constructed a matrix of study results from the 10 articles selected into meta-analysis. Subjects were grouped into four categories: elite athletes, nonelite competitive athletes, active controls, and nonactive controls.…”

Purpose: In a number of small studies focused on one or two sports, exercise and competitive level has been observed to favor attainment of higher bone mineral density (BMD) in otherwise healthy athletes. We analyzed merged data from 10 studies to determine the effects of competitive level on upper extremity BMD in female athletes across multiple sports.Methods: This study is a meta-analysis of 10 articles reporting results of similar case-control and cross-sectional studies of BMD in female athletes and nonathletes reporting an effect of athletic participation level. Upper extremity BMD was modeled as an outcome of the level of athleticism using a categorical weighted least squares model and controlling for upper-body impact, age, and body mass index.Results

“…These effects are more marked in athletes who began their sport participation close to the pubertal growth spurt. [107][108][109] Cross-sectional investigations are suggestive of a relationship between training and bone metabolism; however, these studies compared independent samples and therefore were not able to establish a causal relationship between the variables of interest. In fact part of the effects described in the participants of different sports may have been caused by selection bias.…”

“…Egan et al [90] compared BMD and body composition among young female athletes (rugby players, distance runners and netball players) with a mean age of 21 years versus sedentary control subjects. All sports groups had higher BMD values than the controls, but rugby players had the greatest BMD values at the lumbar spine ( 16.5%), femoral neck ( 21.7%) and hip ( 13.5%).…”

Osteomalacia is caused by impaired vitamin D receptor (VDR) signaling, calcium deficiency, and altered bone mineralization. This can be due to insufficient sunlight exposure, malabsorption, reduced D hormone activation in chronic kidney disease, and rare alterations of VDR signaling and phosphate metabolism. Leading symptoms are bone pain, muscular cramps, and increased incidence of falls in the elderly. The adequate respective countermeasures are to optimize the daily intake of calcium and vitamin D3 and to replace active D hormone and phosphate if deficient. Osteoporosis is characterized by bone fragility fractures upon minor physical impact. Indications for diagnosis and treatment can be established by estimating the absolute fracture risk, taking into account bone mineral density, age, gender, and individual risk factors. Exercise, intervention programs to avoid falls, and specific drugs are capable of substantially reducing fracture risk even in the elderly. Secondary osteoporosis primarily requires both bone-altering medications and effective treatment of underlying diseases.
