Summary: The study found that hypogonadal men with T2D showed significant improvements in bone mass and density after 18 months of testosterone therapy, while those without T2D did not show significant changes.

Summary: Despite long-term hormonal treatment, men with congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) and Kallmann syndrome (KS) still have impaired bone density and microarchitecture. Early treatment initiation during adolescence may improve trabecular outcomes.

Summary: Men with congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) and Kallmann syndrome (KS) have lower bone density and altered bone microarchitecture despite long-term hormonal treatment. Treatment initiation during adolescence improves trabecular outcomes at the tibia, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis.

Summary: This study found that in men, individuals with T2DM had lower bone material strength index (BMSi) compared to those without T2DM, independent of T2DM, while bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS) measured by DXA were higher. These results suggest that measures reflecting bone material properties and microarchitecture may be better than BMD in identifying individuals with T2DM at risk of fracture.

Summary: This study found that obesity classified using percentage body fat (PBF) was more severe than using body mass index (BMI) and fat mass index (FMI), possibly due to its lower predetermined threshold. Additionally, from the age of 50-59, the difference between PBF and BMI/FMI was greater, which may be attributed to age-related lean mass loss.

Summary: Bone quantity and quality do not significantly differ between MetS+ and MetS- RA patients. However, MetS+ RA patients show higher disease activity and lower vitamin D levels. Furthermore, metabolic parameter alterations are correlated with bone quality changes, suggesting potential bone microarchitecture impairments despite unchanged BMD values.

Summary: Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can inhibit bone resorption and increase bone mass, especially at the lumbar spine level. The effects are more prominent with longer duration of treatment and higher prevalence of diabetes in patients.

Summary: The association between socioeconomic status and bone mineral density in American men was investigated in this study. The results showed a positive correlation between socioeconomic status and lumbar spine bone mineral density. This finding is clinically significant for the prevention and treatment strategies of osteoporosis.

Summary: This study found that the positive correlation between muscle mass and bone status was largely conserved in men with diabetes, and this association may be stronger in diabetic individuals.

Summary: Evidence for the effect of exercise on Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in men is limited compared to postmenopausal women. The study found a low but significant impact of exercise on BMD in men, with no specific exercise recommendations currently available for male cohorts.

Summary: Secondary osteoporosis is a global problem caused by osteoporosis and can be triggered by various reasons. Kidney, diabetes, thyroid and parathyroid disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, liver disease, inflammatory disorders, and medications can all contribute to the development of secondary osteoporosis.

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: This study found no significant association between NAFLD and the decline rate of total hip BMD, but among men with NAFLD, those at high and intermediate risk of advanced fibrosis showed a significantly increased decline rate in total hip BMD.

Summary: The study assessed the prevalence of low bone mineral density in the total hip or femoral neck in axial spondyloarthritis patients. Results showed 36% had low BMD and 56% had osteopenia. Age and radiographic sacroiliitis were the most important factors associated with decreased BMD.

Summary: Preptin, a peptide secreted with insulin, has a positive impact on bone health by regulating insulin sensitivity and osteocalcin secretion. Its concentration is influenced by glucose tolerance and physical exercise.
