Summary: This study found that activity before the fall, type of fall, and falling direction were the main influencing factors of vertebral fractures in older men and women. Risk factors for men included low education, asthma, depression, among others, while for women they included fracture history and osteoporosis. Combining predisposing and situational risk factors can provide a more comprehensive assessment of vertebral fracture risk.

Summary: Men with distal forearm fractures have reduced bone density and an increased risk of osteoporosis and further fractures. This study aimed to investigate the structural determinants of these observations using quantitative CT. The results showed that men with fractures had lower bone density and cortical thickness, which explained the increased fracture risk in this group.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the interaction between bone and muscle in predicting fractures in older men. Cox proportional hazards models were used with prospective data from the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men study. The results showed an interaction between D3Cr muscle mass and distal tibia total volumetric BMD (Tt.BMD) in the occurrence of fractures in older men. Importance rating: 7/10.

Summary: Identification of risk factors associated with incident fractures among middle-aged women and men revealed age, sex, body mass index, previous fracture, family history of fracture, leisure-time physical activity, heavy work, living alone, smoking, and alcohol consumption as significant factors. Individuals with more risk factors had a higher fracture risk, while moderate leisure-time physical activity was associated with lower risk.

Summary: High-impact physical activities with bone strains of high magnitude and frequency can benefit bone health in older men. Engaging in activities with high and rapid impact helps maintain higher bone mineral density and reduce the risk of falls, while high energy expenditure is associated with a reduced falls risk. Integrating traditional physical activity data with bone loading estimates may enhance the understanding of the relationships between physical activity and bone health.

Summary: This study revealed a high prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia (87.5%) and vertebral fractures (25%) in HIV-infected men, with a 26.2% rate of hypogonadism. The impact of gonadal function on bone health was found to be more significant on vertebral fractures than on bone mineral density.

Summary: Adjustment for femoral neck bone mineral density (fnBMD) reduces the predictive value for fracture of sarcopenia definitions based on appendicular lean mass (ALM), but inclusion of physical performance measures strengthens it. Severe sarcopenia definitions incorporating chair stand time, gait speed, and grip strength demonstrate the highest predictability for fracture, even at low prevalence levels.

Summary: This study prospectively analyzed the association between subsequent fractures in postmenopausal women after initial fractures at different sites. The results showed that different types of initial fractures increased the risk of subsequent fractures of different types, and this risk was observed across all age groups of women.

Summary: Men with low-trauma wrist fractures have higher bone turnover markers and lower bone mineral density compared to healthy controls. Bone turnover markers are negative predictors of bone mineral density and fracture risk in these men.

Summary: This study evaluated the ability of a method to predict incident hip fractures based on the reconstruction of 3D hip anatomy from a 2D DXA image and subject-specific FE-based prediction of proximal femoral strength. The results showed that FE-predicted proximal femoral strength was a better predictor of hip fractures than aBMD, suggesting potential for improving fracture risk predictions in a clinically feasible manner.

Summary: Osteoporosis is a common non-communicable disease with a significant impact on individuals, society, and healthcare systems worldwide. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the widely endorsed technology for assessing fracture risk, but advancements in modern technology offer opportunities for more personalized risk assessment.

Summary: This study aims to assess the effects of kisspeptin on human bone metabolism. In vitro experiments showed that kisspeptin promoted osteoblast differentiation and inhibited osteoclastic resorptive activity. Clinical experiments showed that kisspeptin increased bone formation markers without affecting bone resorption markers.

Summary: Osteoporosis, a common metabolic bone disorder, is often treated with nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates. Prolonged use of bisphosphonates may lead to rare atypical femoral fractures, possibly due to rare mutations in the CYP1A1 gene.

Summary: The study focuses on the steady-state fully developed fluid flow in a channel filled with porous media, utilizing well-known models such as Darcy's, Brinkman's, and Brinkman-Forchheimer's laws. The analytical solution for flow models and estimation of convective heat transfer coefficient are provided, along with evaluation of the impacts of parameters on the Nusselt number. Results show a downward trend in Nusselt number as Forchheimer coefficient increases, reaching asymptotic values at smaller Darcy numbers.
