Summary: Oral health condition is strongly correlated with bone mineral density, skeletal muscle mass, fall, fracture, and frailty. This study aimed to investigate the association between osteoporotic fractures and oral health in the elderly. A total of 2322 Korean subjects aged over 65 years were included. The results showed a significant relationship between total tooth number and probabilities of fracture in male and female elderly. An interdisciplinary approach involving dentists and physicians is necessary to improve the quality of life in the elderly.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis of 39 studies and found that patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) have decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and an elevated risk of fractures. The study also analyzed the risk factors associated with fractures in these patients.

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: This study aimed to identify risk factors for hip fractures in elderly Korean patients, especially in patients with osteoporosis. The retrospective analysis of 168 patients showed that lower body weight, BMI, and BMD Z-scores were associated with a higher incidence of intertrochanteric fractures compared to femoral neck fractures. This suggests that there is a correlation between low body weight, BMI, and BMD Z-scores and an increased risk of intertrochanteric fractures in elderly Korean patients.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether women with 'minimal' grade osteoporotic-like vertebral fracture (OLVF) with less than 20% height loss have an increased risk of vertebral fracture (VF) compared to those without OLVF. The study found that women with OLVF of >_20% height loss had a higher incidence of VF at the 18-year follow-up period.

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: With the improvement of survival outcomes for lymphoma patients, the focus on reducing long-term complications of therapy, such as glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO), has increased. This review summarizes the pathophysiology of GIO, the risk of GIO in observational studies, and the efficacy of prophylactic measures from clinical trials, providing recommendations for GIO risk assessment and management in lymphoma based on current literature.

Summary: Certain diseases requiring glucocorticoids are independently associated with an increased risk of fractures. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and neurological diseases are associated with both vertebral and non-vertebral fracture risk, while rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are only associated with non-vertebral fractures.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of and factors associated with a high risk of osteoporotic fractures in Korean patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The findings suggest that both FRAX and WHO criteria may be complementary for treatment decisions to reduce osteoporotic fractures in patients with AS.

Summary: Patients with active Cushing's syndrome show altered bone microstructure with decreased TBS, leading to a higher risk of hip and major osteoporotic fractures. TBS appears to be a valuable tool for assessing fracture risk in endogenous hypercortisolism.

Summary: There is an association between chronic kidney disease and fragility fracture risk. This study found that by evaluating selective risk factors for fracture, surrogate indices of bone quality, and muscle strength in hemodialysis patients, high-fracture-risk individuals can be identified.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate trends in bone mineral density loss and related factors in early postmenopausal women in Japan, and predict the occurrence of osteoporosis before it happens. The results showed that weight, body mass index (BMI), height, and handgrip strength were positively correlated with bone mineral density. Higher weight and BMI were also associated with a greater decrease in bone mineral density of the femoral neck over a 9 or 10 year period.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) in male and female elite cyclists at different stages of a professional cycling career and to identify potential risk factors of low BMD. The study found that low BMD is highly prevalent in elite cyclists, especially in early career females and advanced career males and females. The main factors associated with BMD were body mass index, fracture incidence, bone-specific physical activity, and triiodothyronine.

Summary: Obesity is a global health challenge and effective treatments are needed to prevent its associated comorbidities. Bariatric surgery, while effective for weight control in obese individuals, can lead to accelerated bone loss and skeletal weakness. The response of bone to bariatric surgery includes decreased bone density and altered bone structure, increasing the risk of falls and fractures. Factors such as malabsorption, mechanical unloading, and changes in molecular interactions between adipose tissue, bone, and muscle may contribute to these effects. Evaluating and monitoring bone health, as well as implementing specific interventions such as nutrient supplementation, physical activity, and rehabilitation programs, are important for individuals undergoing bariatric surgery.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association of hip bone mineral density with mortality risk after hip fracture. The results showed that all hip bone densities were significantly associated with mortality risks, and hip trochanter bone mineral density showed the strongest correlation.
