“…We note that the distribution of bone mineral density is roughly similar in Canada 12 and Australia. 25,26 However, we also note that the geographic variation in fracture does not always reflect underlying variation in bone mineral density. 27 A recent comparison of surveillance rates of hip fracture among Canada, the United States and Germany has shown differences in hip fracture incidence that are both age-and sex-dependent.…”

“…Whole-body BMD and total hip BMD as well as femoral neck BMD and lumbar spine BMD have been reported as predictors of osteoporosis [7,8,9,10]. Studies have suggested that aging, smoking, alcohol intake, low weight, exercise, and low vitamin D status are putative risk factors for low BMD, but the data are inconsistent [3,11,12].…”

Background/Aims: Studies on determinants of bone mineral density (BMD) among Asian middle-aged and older men are very limited. The aim of this study was to investigate general determinants and dietary factors influencing BMD in Korean middle-aged and older men. Methods: This study was conducted using data from the 2008-2010 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. A total of 2,305 male subjects aged 50-79 years were included. Whole-body, total femur, femoral neck, and lumbar spine BMDs were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Dietary intake was estimated by 24-hour dietary recall. A food frequency questionnaire for 63 food items was also administered. Results: Proportions of osteoporosis at the total femur, femoral neck, and lumbar spine were 0.7, 3.3 and 7.0%, respectively. Age, height, weight, body mass index, fat mass, lean body mass, waist circumference, serum vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, and exercise were related to BMD, but the relationships were site specific. Diet quality and intake of vegetables, fruits, and calcium were associated with BMD. Conclusions: These results suggest that a high-quality diet, an adequate intake of fruits, vegetables, and calcium, as well as exercise, high serum vitamin D and weight maintenance might be determinants of BMD among middle-aged and older Asian men.

“…On the one hand, this difference may be due to a small group of male patients that are included in the study. On the other hand, the study of the National Health and Nutrition USA (NHANES) III, based on the results of the largest single studies of femoral neck BMD in adult men [23][24][25][26] proves that the peak of BMD at hip and lumbar spine is reached at the age of 20-30 years, while BMD peak of total body and ultradistal radius are reached in men after 30 years. This may explain why our group of patients who haven't reached the peak BMD yet, had higher rates of osteopenia.…”

Bone mineral density, T-and Z-scores in young men with juvenile idiopathic arthritis Abstract. Background. Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a term used to classify a group of heterogeneous pediatric rheumatic diseases. Many of these conditions persist through adulthood. Presence of chronic inflammatory disease along with a glucocorticoid treatment is the risk factor of osteoporosis in young adult males. The purpose was to study the bone mineral density (BMD), T-and Z-scores in young adult males with JIA. Materials and methods. The study included 50 patients aged 19-25 years, divided into two groups: I -25 apparently healthy young males; ІІ -25 young men from different regions of Ukraine with a history of JIA in childhood, regardless of the presence or absence of active inflammation at the time of the observation. Two-energy X-ray densitometry (Prodigy, GE Lunar, Madison, USA) was performed at the D.F. Chebotarev Institute of Gerontology, Ukrainian Scientific-Medical Centre for the Problems of Osteoporosis, together with analysis of BMD, T-and Z-scores at different skeletal areas. Results. Young men with JIA and healthy individuals did not differ in age, height, weight and body mass index. Four patients with JIA (16 %) had fractures, while in the control group, there were no fractures. Negative impact of the JIA on the BMD was found in group II compared to group I. Lumbar spine BMD in group II was lower (p < 0.01) than in healthy subjects, as well as the Z-score (p < 0.001) in the L1-L4 lumbar spine region. BMD, T-and Z-scores in femoral neck region were lower in group II than in group I (p < 0.001; p < 0.001; p < 0.01, respectively). Significant differences between the two groups were found in total body BMD (p < 0.001), T-score (p < 0.01), Z-score (p < 0.05). Patients with JIA had lower BMD (p < 0.01) and T-score (p < 0.05) of the ultradistal radius. Decrease of BMD up to the level of osteopenia (Z-score < -2 SD) was found in 20 % patients at the level of L1-L4 lumbar spine, in 8 % -at femoral neck, in 12 % -at total body and in 8 % patients at the level of ultradistal radius. Conclusions. Young men with JIA aged 19-25 years had reduced total body BMD, T-and Z-scores, which indicate the negative impact of the disease on the bone tissue compared with healthy men of the corresponding age.
