Suitability of Tartrate-Resistant Acid Phosphatase Type 5b as a Screening Marker for Bone Mineral Density in Community-Dwelling Elderly Individuals

“…We also showed that TRAP-5b was negatively correlated with Ca in women (β = −0.059, P = 0.039). Because it is well known that ALP is a classical marker for osteoid formation and calcification, and that Ca is important to maintain bone density and is lost with aging especially in women (Hannan et al 2000;Izumotani et al 2003;Meier et al 2005;Lanham-New 2008;Hien et al 2008), our present results suggest that TRAP-5b is a sensitive marker for screening for BMD in the general population of elderly individuals, especially women.…”

Consejería nutricional incrementa el consumo de alimentos ricos en calcio, pero la ingesta se mantiene por debajo del requierimiento diario

“…Existe evidencia de que la consejería nutricional puede promover una dieta saludable así como mejorar el comportamiento dietético, incluyendo la reducción de las grasas saturadas y el aumento de las ingesta de frutas y vegetales (23,24). Varios estudios han reportado el efecto de la consejería nutricional sobre el incremento en la ingesta de calcio (25,26 En el presente estudio se observó que la consejería nutricional realizada virtualmente podría ser útil en incrementar las ingesta de calcio dietario diario. Similar a nuestro hallazgo, otros autores han evaluado los efectos que tiene sobre el consumidor el uso de internet para tomar decisiones, mejorar conocimientos, actitudes y utilización de la información sobre temas de salud, reportándose efectos positivos en los programas de educación nutricional y pérdida de peso (17).…”

A systematic review of interventions by healthcare professionals on community-dwelling postmenopausal women with osteoporosis

“…A majority of studies extracted were conducted in the USA [10][11][12][13][14][15], Canada [16][17][18][19][20][21], and Europe [22][23][24][25][26][27][28], with a few studies from New Zealand [29] and Asia [30][31][32][33]. One of the studies formed part of a multi-center coordinated project in 21 European countries [24], while 15 other studies were conducted in single sites [10-13, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23, 25, 26, 28, 31, 32], and nine in multiple sites within the same country [14,16,19,22,24,27,29,30,33].…”
