“…Body mass index (BMI) was calculated as the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters (kg/m 2 ). We assessed the participants’ physical activity status on the basis of their answer to the following question [26]: “How much do you exercise or strain yourself physically in your leisure time?” The response categories were (1) sedentary (reading, watching television), (2) moderate (walking, cycling, and exercising in other ways for at least 4 h per week), (3) active (fitness-improving sport at least three times per week), and (4) competitive sport. Alcohol intake was sporadic, not exceeding 100 mL/day in any case.…”

Adherence to a Mediterranean Diet and Bone Mineral Density in Spanish Premenopausal Women

et al. 2019

The Mediterranean diet (MD) has been associated with an improvement in health and an increase in longevity. Certain components of a MD can play a role in the prevention of osteoporosis and/or hip fracture. We investigated the association between the degree of adherence to a MD and bone mineral density (BMD) measured in several bone areas in a population of Spanish premenopausal women. We analyzed 442 premenopausal women aged 42.73 ± 6.67 years. Bone measurements were obtained using quantitative bone ultrasound (QUS) for the phalanx, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for the lumbar spine, Ward’s triangle, trochanter, and hip, and peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) for the non-dominant distal forearm. MD adherence was evaluated with MedDietScore. Amplitude-dependent speed of sound (Ad-SOS), BMD, and volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) (total, trabecular, and cortical bone density) were positively associated with higher adherence to the MD (p < 0.05). Adherence to the MD was significantly associated with QUS, BMD, and vBMD in multiple regression analysis; QUS: Ad-SOS (m/s) β = 0.099 (p = 0.030); BMD (g/cm2): femur neck β = 0.114 (p = 0.010) and Ward’s triangle β = 0.125 (p = 0.006); vBMD (mg/cm3): total density β = 0.119 (p = 0.036), trabecular density β = 0.120 (p = 0.035), and cortical density β = 0.122 (p = 0.032). We conclude that the adherence to the MD was positively associated with better bone mass in Spanish premenopausal women.

“…All subjects led active lives, but none of the women practiced any professional sports. We assessed the participants’ physical activity status on the basis of their answer to the following question: “How much do you exercise or strain yourself physically in your leisure time?” The response categories were (1) sedentary (reading, watching television), (2) moderate (walking, cycling, and exercising in other ways for at least 4 hour per week), (3) active (fitness-improving sport at least three times per week), and (4) competitive sport [ 16 ]. Alcohol intake was sporadic and did not exceed 100 mL/day in any case.…”

“…Women enrolled in this study completed a 131-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). This FFQ was previously validated and involves 24-h recall performed over seven days [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Using the FFQ, we assessed the dietary intake of calcium and vitamin D from the Spanish Food Composition database [ 18 ].…”

Olive Oil Consumption and Bone Microarchitecture in Spanish Women

et al. 2018

Olive oil has been demonstrated to enhance various cardiometabolic risk factors. However, to our knowledge, the association between olive oil intake and cortical and trabecular bone microarchitecture has never been evaluated in Spanish women. We aimed to examine the association between olive oil intake and cortical and trabecular bone microarchitecture. We analyzed 523 women aged 50 (9) year, range (23–81) year. Participants underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and peripheral quantitative computed tomography scans. Dietary intake of calcium, vitamin D, energy and olive oil (g/day) were assessed by a self-administered food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). After adjustment for potential confounding factors (calcium (mg/day), vitamin D (μg/day) energy (Kcal/day), age, body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2), menopausal status, and osteoporotic diagnosis (normal, osteopenia, or osteoporosis)), there were significant increases in volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) (mg/cm3) (p < 0.01) in the group with a higher intake of olive oil. Total, trabecular and cortical bone density were positively correlated with olive oil intake. The dietary intake of olive oil was significantly associated with vBMD in multiple regression analysis; total density: olive oil intake (g/day) standardized β = 0.185 (p < 0.001), trabecular density: olive oil intake (g/day) standardized β = 0.186 (p < 0.001) and cortical density olive oil intake (g/day) standardized β = 0.114 (p = 0.008). We conclude that the dietary intake of olive oil is positively associated with a better vBMD in Spanish women.

“…We assessed participants’ physical activity status on the basis of their answer to the following question: “How much do you exercise or strain yourself physically in your leisure time?” The response categories were (1) nonambulation; (2) sedentary (reading, watching television); (3) moderate (walking, cycling, and exercising in other ways for at least 4 h per week); (4) active (fitness-improving sport at least three times per week); and (5) competitive sport [ 15 , 16 ]. None of the participants selected the competitive sport response.…”

Greater Calcium Intake is Associated with Better Bone Health Measured by Quantitative Ultrasound of the Phalanges in Pediatric Patients Treated with Anticonvulsant Drugs

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We aimed to investigate and compare the effects of chronic antiepileptic therapy on bone health in pediatric patients using quantitative ultrasound of the phalanges (QUS) and controlling for potential confounding factors, particularly nutrient intake. The amplitude-dependent speed of sound (Ad-SoS) was measured in 33 epileptic children and 32 healthy children aged 6.5 ± 3.1 and 6.3 ± 1.1 (mean ± SD) years, respectively. There were no significant differences in the demographics such as age, weight and height between epileptic children and the control group children. None of the children in the epileptic or the treatment group were found to have a vitamin D deficiency. There were no significant differences in laboratory tests between groups. Lower QUS figures were found in the epileptic children (p = 0.001). After further adjustment for potential confounders such age, height, weight, calcium intake, vitamin D intake, physical activity and sex, the differences remained significant (p < 0.001). After further classification of the participants based on the tertile of calcium intake, no significant differences were found between patients and healthy controls in the greatest tertile of calcium intake (p = 0.217). We conclude that anticonvulsant therapy using valproate may lead to low bone mass in children and that an adequate intake of calcium might counteract such deleterious effects.
