Summary: This study aimed to identify nutrient patterns (NPs) and their association with bone mineral density (BMD) categories in postmenopausal women. The results showed that lower consumption of NP1 and NP2 was associated with an increased risk of osteopenia, but not osteoporosis.

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 study showed that water loss and oil uptake during vacuum frying of papaya chips followed first-order kinetics, while decrease in a(w) followed a logistic trend. Glucose and fructose degradation patterns were similar, while BI and sucrose content increased with frying time and oil temperature.

Summary: The study found that certain phthalate biomarkers were associated with greater percentage decreases in total hip and femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD), suggesting that phthalate exposure may have clinically significant effects on BMD and potentially increase fracture risk.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of equol and resveratrol on bone turnover biomarkers in postmenopausal women. The results showed that the combination of equol and resveratrol significantly improved bone turnover biomarkers and increased bone mineral density, suggesting a potential approach to prevent age-related bone loss in postmenopausal women.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the association between proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and fractures. A case-control study was conducted on postmenopausal women, and it was found that MRI-based measurement of proximal femur PDFF can discriminate between postmenopausal women with and without clinical vertebral fractures, independent of age, CCI, and BMD.

Summary: The main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between dietary phytate intake and bone mineral density (BMD) in a Mediterranean population of postmenopausal women. The results showed that phytate intake was positively associated with BMD in Mediterranean postmenopausal women, indicating a potential protective effect on bone. However, further large-scale, long-term, and randomized prospective clinical studies are needed to assess the potential benefits of phytate consumption on BMD in postmenopausal women.

Summary: This study used Bayesian and modified partial least square regression models to predict the content of provitamin A carotenoids in maize genotypes using near-infrared spectroscopy data. Both regression methods showed similar accuracies in predicting carotenoid content, offering opportunities for cost-effective and high-throughput phenotyping in maize breeding.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis found a significant correlation between high intake of beta-cryptoxanthin (BCX) and reduced risk of osteoporosis and hip fracture. Further longitudinal studies are recommended to confirm the causality of these findings.

Summary: This study found that female reproductive factors are associated with fractures among postmenopausal women in Korea. Late age at menarche (>=17 years) and menopause (>=55 years) were associated with higher risk of any fractures, while longer reproductive span and being a parous woman were associated with lower risk of fractures.

Summary: The study found that only 43% of total carotenoids in commercial maize hybrids were bioaccessible, with the bioaccessibility of different carotenoids decreasing as the content in the grain increased. While total carotenoid content varied among different hybrids, the majority fell within lower ranges, which should be taken into consideration when formulating animal diets.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the dose-dependent effects of blackcurrant supplementation on preventing bone loss in adult women. The results showed that blackcurrant supplementation decreased the loss of whole-body bone mineral density and increased the marker of bone formation, P1NP. Further studies with larger samples and different skeletal conditions are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: Years since the final menstrual period (FMP) is more strongly associated with postmenopausal bone mineral density (BMD) than chronological age, and earlier menopause is associated with more fractures.

Summary: This study assessed the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of a denosumab biosimilar (LY06006) in Chinese postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. The results showed that LY06006 significantly increased bone mineral density and reduced bone resorption. The safety and tolerability of LY06006 were comparable to the reference drug Prolia(R).

Summary: The study found that changes in bone mineral density and bone resorption markers over two years were minimal in black postmenopausal women living with HIV. Despite a decrease in serum vitamin D, there were small or no changes in BMD and CTx over the 2-year period.
