Prevalence of and risk factors for vertebral fracture and low bone mineral density among Peruvian women aging with HIV
ConclusionIn this study, women living with HIV on long-standing ART had increased VF prevalence compared to the slightly older group of women without HIV. Age and BMI were independent predictors for BMD at the lumbar spine, hip, and femoral neck among women living with HIV, and there was a treatment gap among women who met criteria for osteoporosis treatment. Larger studies are needed in this region to identify individuals at risk for fracture and to inform prevention guidelines. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Rapid trabecular bone growth in puberty associated with stiffer arteries in adulthood – longitudinal study on healthy young males
ConclusionTrabecular bone regions like lumbar spine and femoral neck, showed stronger relationships with arterial stiffness. Rapid bone growth in puberty is related to arterial stiffening, while final bone mineral content relates to decreased arterial stiffness. These results could indicate that bone metabolism is independently associated with arterial stiffness rather than bone and arteries just having common traits of growth and maturation.
