“…Despite the heavy burden of osteoporotic fractures in elderly Norwegians [4,16,17], BMD levels appeared higher in Norwegian adolescents compared to the Lunar pediatric reference data. Height, participation in intensive physical activity of more than four hours a week and early sexual maturation were significantly associated with higher BMD levels at both femoral sites in girls, whereas BMI only at the total hip.…”

“…Since older adolescents were considered to diverge substantially in biology and behaviour from their younger peers, the main analyses are based on data from 469 girls and 492 boys [15][16][17][18] years. For the comparison with the Lunar reference, we also included the 18 year old participants, similar to the reference.…”

Summary Bone mass achievement predicts later fracture risk. This population-based study describes bone mineral density levels (BMD) and associated factors in Norwegian adolescents. Compared with international reference ranges, BMD levels appear higher and physical activity levels are positively associated with BMD.Purpose Norway has one of the highest reported incidences of osteoporotic fractures. Maximization of peak bone mass may prevent later fractures. This population-based study compared BMD levels of Norwegian adolescents with international reference ranges and explored associated factors.Methods All first year upper secondary school students, aged 15-19 years in the Tromsø region were invited to the Fit Futures study in 2010-2011. Over 90% of the invited participants attended, 508 girls and 530 boys. BMD was measured at total hip, femoral neck and total body by dual x-ray absorptiometry.Lifestyle variables were collected by self-administered questionnaires and interviews. All analyses were performed sex stratified, using linear regression models.Results In girls mean BMD (SD) was 1.060 (0.124), 1.066 (0.123) and 1.142 (0.077) g/cm² at the total hip, femoral neck and total body respectively. In boys corresponding values were 1.116 (0.147), 1.103 (0.150) and 1.182 (0.097), with significant higher values than the Lunar pediatric reference at 16 years of age In girls, height and self-reported intensive physical activity of more than four hours a week and early sexual maturation were positively associated with BMD at both femoral sites (p<0.047). Among boys age, height, body mass index, physical activity and alcohol intake were positively (p<0.038), whereas early stages of sexual maturation and smoking was negatively (p<0.047) related to BMD.Conclusions Despite the heavy fracture burden, Norwegian adolescents´ BMD levels are higher than agematched Caucasians. Physical activity is associated with 1 SD increased BMD levels in those involved in competition or hard training.

“…I 1998/99 fant man en aldersjustert radiusfrakturrate i Oslo per 10.000 innbyggere hos de over 50 år på 109,8 for kvinner og 25,4 for menn (41). Hos RA-pasienter har man derimot ikke kunnet vise at radiusbrudd forekommer hyppigere enn i befolkningen for øvrig (40).…”

I en studie av radiusbrudd i Oslo kunne man heller ikke påvise en sikker økning i aldersjustert forekomst av radiusbrudd fra 1979 til 1998/99 (41). De samme observasjoner er også gjort i Sverige hvor man i en studie konkluderte med at hyppigheten av hoftebrudd totalt sett faktisk er litt synkende (42).…”

Osteoporosis and its clinical consequences the fractures are among the main contributors of increased morbidity and increased mortality among elderly people. After the age of 50 years every second female and 1 out of 5 males during the rest of their life time will have a low energy fracture. Patients with several inflammatory rheumatic joint diseases and endocrinological diseases have been shown to have an increased risk for osteoporosis and low energy fracture. The burden of the osteoporosis bone disease for both individuals (morbidity and mortality) and society (costs) is high.<script type="text/javascript"></script> <blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><p align="left"> </p></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote>
