Majority of osteoporosis patients not receiving calcium and vitamin D with treatment
New research published today at the annual meeting of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR), Montréal, Canada, reveals that less than half (43%) of patients in Europe with osteoporosis are claiming to take both calcium and vitamin D supplementation with their osteoporosis treatment. view more (2008-09-15)
Candidate genes for osteoporesis and obesity
Variants of BMP2 gene as genetic risk factors for osteoporosis Linking specific genes with common, complex diseases like osteoporosis is a tricky business. There are likely to be many genetic as well as environmental and lifestyle causes, and to find them researchers need large populations, abundant genetic markers, and extensive patient data. In... view more... (2003-10-29)
Risk of falling is overlooked as the major cause of fractures in the elderly
An elderly person's risk of falling is too often overlooked when trying to prevent them from getting serious fractures, for instance of the hip or wrist, according to an article published in this week's BMJ. view more (2008-01-18)
Fabled 'vegetable lamb' plant contains potential treatment for osteoporosis
The "vegetable lamb" plant - once believed to bear fruit that ripened into a living baby sheep - produces substances that show promise in laboratory experiments as new treatments for osteoporosis, the bone-thinning disease. view more (2009-10-15)
Research identifies protein in mice that regulates bone formation
Osteoporosis, a disease characterized by a decrease in bone mass and density and which makes people more susceptible to bone fractures and deformities, afflicts some 10 million Americans over the age of 50. view more (2006-06-23)

CT colonography offers 1-stop screening for cancer and osteoporosis
New research reveals that computed tomography (CT) colonography, also known as virtual colonoscopy, has the potential to screen for two diseases at once-colorectal cancer and osteoporosis, both of which commonly affect adults over age 50. view more (2008-12-02)
NIH researchers discover protein that appears to regulate bone mass loss, the cause of osteoporosis
An estimated ten million Americans suffer from osteoporosis, and another 34 million Americans are at risk of developing the disease, which is characterized by a severe loss of bone mineral density, fragile bones and an increased risk of hip, spine and wrist fractures. view more (2007-03-06)
Nation's hip fracture rate could drop 25 percent with aggressive osteoporosis prevention
Aggressively managing patients at risk for osteoporosis could reduce the hip fracture rate in the United States by 25 percent, according to a Kaiser Permanente study published in the November issue of the Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery. view more (2009-11-02)
Simple ultrasound exam may predict osteoporosis risk
An ultrasound exam of the heel may be able to predict if a woman is at heightened risk for fractures due to osteoporosis, according to a new multicenter study being published in the July issue of the journal Radiology. view more (2008-06-24)
'Best of both worlds' — Targeting a single gene could inhibit bone decay and stimulate bone growth
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Medicine have found by targeting the function of a single gene that it is possible to inhibit bone decay while simultaneously stimulating bone formation. view more (2006-12-11)
Study shows that prostate cancer increases the risk of bone fracture
As unlikely as it sounds, scientists at the Garvan Institute for Medical Research have shown that there is a link between prostate cancer and a higher risk of bone fracture. view more (2008-05-14)
Hip fracture rates decline in Canada
Standardized rates of hip fracture have steadily declined in Canada since 1985, with a more rapid decline between 1996 and 2005 and a more marked decrease among individuals age 55 to 64 years. view more (2009-08-26)
Connection between depression and osteoporosis detailed by Hebrew University researchers

Older women at highest risk for hip fractures, least likely to get bone density screening
A new study by Medical College of Wisconsin researchers has found that women who most need bone density testing to determine if they have osteoporosis are the least likely to get it. view more (2006-02-08)
Increasing evidence that osteoporosis begins in the womb
Recent evidence to suggest that osteoporosis has its origins in the womb will be presented by leading expert, Professor Cyrus Cooper, when he speaks at a symposium on osteoporosis at FOAD 2003, the Second World Congress on the Fetal Origins of Adult Diseases (FOAD), which takes place at the Brighton Conference Centre next month (7 - 10 June).... view more...
