Summary: The study found a significant association between high uric acid levels and increased bone density among healthy Qatari adults, even after adjusting for multiple confounding factors. However, the association was attenuated with further adjustments, but still remained significant for individuals with high uric acid levels. Additionally, the association between uric acid and bone mineral density was not significant in non-obese, females, young adults, and smokers.

Summary: Long-term brisk walking is an efficient way to improve bone mineral density in premenopausal women. Brisk walking with a volume greater than 16 times per week is recommended for preventing bone loss.

Summary: The research indicates that fat intake in the first postnatal weeks is positively associated with BMC and BMD at term corrected age, while protein and fat intake in the early weeks of life can predict BMD at six months corrected age. These findings suggest that early nutritional intervention is crucial for bone health in the first months of life.

Summary: Bone fractures are a global public health concern, but no comprehensive investigation on the use of low-dose aspirin to prevent fractures in the elderly has been conducted. This cross-sectional study found no significant association between the use of low-dose aspirin and fracture prevention in older adults. However, due to the higher incidence of fractures in the elderly, especially in women, it is important to implement more injury prevention initiatives and improve access to osteoporosis prevention and diagnosis to reduce the overall burden.

Summary: This study found no association between serum uric acid (sUA) levels and bone mineral density (BMD) at different skeletal sites in middle-aged and elderly men, but a positive association was only found in the normal weight group.

Summary: Two years of creatine supplementation and exercise had no effect on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women, but improved some bone geometric properties at the proximal femur.

Summary: The aim of this study was to identify relevant factors that affect bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) in young, healthy men reaching peak bone mass. The results showed that age, BMI, engaging in combat and team sports at a competitive level, and certain genetic polymorphisms were significant predictors of BMD/BMC at different skeletal sites. Specifically, the SOD2 AG genotype was associated with lower BMC values, while the VDR FokI GG genotype was associated with lower BMD. However, the CALCR AG genotype was linked to higher arm BMD. These findings suggest that sports training may mitigate the negative impact of genetic factors on bone tissue and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

Summary: The study proposed a novel method based on ultrasound transit time spectroscopy to derive volumetric and areal bone mineral densities. Results obtained by ultrasound showed high correlations with those obtained by microcomputed tomography when measuring bone density.

Summary: Modeling exercise showed that initiating infrequent zoledronic acid infusions early in menopause can reduce long-term fracture risk and significantly decrease the proportion of women with densitometric osteoporosis after age 65.

Summary: The study found that individuals with Down syndrome have significantly lower bone mineral density in total body and different regions (hip, lumbar spine, and femoral neck) compared to controls. It also showed a decreasing trend in lumbar spine volumetric bone mineral density and an elevated femoral neck volumetric bone mineral density in Down syndrome individuals versus controls.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between dietary patterns and bone health in school-age children in China. The fruit-milk-eggs dietary pattern was positively associated with bone mineral content, while the animal organs-refined cereals pattern was negatively associated with bone mineral content and bone mineral density.

Summary: Impaired bone mineral density is a common complication of adult-onset celiac disease. It is mainly caused by malabsorption of nutrients, changes in bone metabolism associated with inflammation, and decreased overall physical health and mobility. However, research on the surveillance, prevention, and treatment of bone disease in celiac disease is limited. A proper diet and sufficient intake of calcium and vitamin D are essential for reducing fracture risk in adult patients. Individualized approaches should be taken for patients with low bone mineral density or fragility fractures.

Summary: This study evaluated the relationship between the polymorphism of rs7586085, CCDC170, GALNT3 genes and the risk of osteoporosis in the Chinese Han population. The results showed that these gene variations were associated with the risk of osteoporosis in certain genetic models, particularly in specific populations.

Summary: This review examined the effects of bisphosphonates on bone density, fractures, and bone markers in osteopenic older women. The study found that bisphosphonates had significant positive effects on bone density and bone markers, as well as reducing the risk of fractures. However, further research is needed to determine their safety.
