Serum Bone Markers CTX, PINP Not Linked with Hip Fracture Risk in Osteoporosis

July 7, 2018 • By Anne Harding

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—Levels of two bone markers currently recommended for evaluating postmenopausal women with osteoporosis have no association with hip fracture risk, according to a new study using Women’s Health Initiative data. “At least in these postmenopausal women, it was not a useful endeavor to check bone turnover markers to predict hip-fracture risk. That… [Read More]

Existing CT Scans as Good as DXA for Assessing Hip Fracture Risk

May 8, 2018 • By Scott Baltic

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—A “biomechanical” analysis of a previously taken pelvic or abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan is at least as accurate in assessing an individual’s hip fracture risk as a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan, according to new research. This accuracy of the hip bone mineral density (BMD) T-score as measured by the biomechanical… [Read More]

Healthy Diet Linked to Lower Hip Fracture Risk in U.S. Women

March 4, 2018 • By Mary Gillis

(Reuters Health)—Eating an overall healthy diet is tied to a lower risk of hip fracture among women over age 50, a U.S. study suggests. Researchers analyzed decades’ worth of dietary and health data for more than 100,000 U.S. men and women. They found that women who scored highest on the American Healthy Eating Index-2010 (AHEI)… [Read More]
