Health Literacy and Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease: A Scoping Review Open
Objectives: Although cardiovascular disease (CVD) is responsible for a large global burden of disease, a large proportion of CVD incidence can be prevented through health literacy (ie, the skills and resources of an individual to access, u…

Patterns of Bone Mineral Density Loss at Multiple Skeletal Sites Following Recent Menopause in Users and Non-Users of Menopausal Hormone Therapy Open
Post-menopausal bone loss has been well described, however fewer studies have focussed on changes around the time of menopause. This study describes bone mineral density (BMD) loss following recent menopause, stratified by hormone replacem…

Parental fracture history is associated with offspring early-life fracture risk: The Geelong Osteoporosis Study Open
Parental fracture history appears to have sex-specific associations with offspring early life fracture risk. Whereby maternal fracture history is associated with an increased risk of early life fracture in females, while paternal fracture …

Associations between bone material strength index and FRAX scores Open
Introduction Impact microindentation (IMI) measures bone material strength index (BMSi) in vivo. However, its ability to predict fractures is still uncertain. This study aimed to determine the association between BMSi and 10 year fracture …

Dietary Intakes of Copper and Selenium in Association with Bone Mineral Density Open
The important trace elements, copper and selenium, have diverse effects on human health. As well as other important roles in living tissues, these trace elements are toxic at high levels but are key constituents of various enzymes and prot…

Bone mineral density is not associated with incident high-intensity back pain: a 10-year cohort study in men Open
Although patients believe that osteoporosis is a painful condition, health professionals assume it is painless unless a fracture occurs. The association between BMD and back pain has not been examined longitudinally in community-based adul…

Associations between ultra-distal forearm bone mineral density and incident fracture in women Open
Ultra-distal forearm BMD may aid risk assessments for any distal radius fractures.
View article: Obesity and sarcopenic obesity characterized by low-grade inflammation are associated with increased risk for major depression in women
Obesity and sarcopenic obesity characterized by low-grade inflammation are associated with increased risk for major depression in women Open
Background We aimed to determine women’s risk of major depressive disorder (MDD) in relation to obesity phenotypes characterized by levels of circulating high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). Methods This population-based retrospect…

Associations Between Aldosterone-Renin-Ratio and Bone Parameters Derived from Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography and Impact Microindentation in Men Open
Components of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) are present on bone cells. One measure of RAAS activity, the aldosterone-renin-ratio (ARR), is used to screen for primary aldosteronism. Associations between ARR and bone minera…

Mean Bone Material Strength Index Values for Women are Lower Than Those for Men: Data from a Single Geographical Location Open
Bone material strength index (BMSi) values are obtained using impact microindentation, which assesses the ability of bone to resist indentation. Differences in BMSi between men and women are unclear, and to date, BMSi sex differences have …

Peer Review Report For: Use and risk of side effects of antiresorptive medication in people with intellectual disabilities [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] Open
Background: Recent studies show that adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) have high incidence of major osteoporotic fracture, especially hip fracture. In those ≥ 50 years, women and men with ID have an approximately two and four time…

Fatty Liver Index and Skeletal Muscle Density Open
Accumulation of fat in the liver and skeletal muscle is associated with obesity and poor health outcomes. Liver steatosis is a characteristic of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and myosteatosis, of poor muscle quality in sarcopen…

High Alcohol Intake in Older Men and the Probability of Osteoporotic Fracture According to the FRAX Algorithm Open
We aimed to determine the contribution of high alcohol intake to fracture probability, calculated using a fracture-risk assessment tool (FRAX). Participants were 262 men (ages 60–90 y) in the Geelong Osteoporosis Study. Alcohol consumption…
