Association of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors and Bone Mineral Density in Elderly Women
We examined the association between SSRI use and BMD in elderly women ( ≥65 yr) referred to a geriatric osteoporosis clinic for bone health evaluation. Cross-sectional analyses using the general linear model were performed on data collected retrospectively from August 2010 to April 2015. (Source: Journal of Clinical Densitometry)

Older Age and Higher Body Mass Index Are Associated With a More Degraded Trabecular Bone Score Compared to Bone Mineral Density
Trabecular bone score (TBS) may detect subjects with a more degraded microarchitecture but whose bone mineral density (BMD) reflects normal or osteopenia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether age and body sizes were associated with the discordance between BMD and TBS. We analyzed BMD and TBS in 1505 Korean women over 40 yr of age who had no history of osteoporotic fractures or conditions that affect bone metabolism. We considered 3 groups to have TBS values that reflected a more degraded TBS than their BMD values: (1) normal BMD but partially degraded TBS, (2) normal BMD but degraded TBS, and (3) osteopenia...

Judo Practice in Early Age Promotes High Level of Bone Mass Acquisition of Growing Boys' Skeleton
The current study aimed to exhibit effects of judo training for at least 2 yr on bone mass parameters in growing boys. Our population was composed of one hundred and thirty boys in tanner stage 1 and aged 10.52 ± 0.86 yr. Eleven judo players were therefore, excluded from the study because they do not have participate regularly to the judo training sessions during the last 2 yr. The resting sample was divided into two groups: 50 judo players (JU group) and 69 controls (C group). Bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), and bone area (BA) were evaluated by using dual-photon X-ray absorptiometry on weight-bear...

Fracture Risk Prediction Modeling and Statistics: What Should Clinical Researchers, Journal Reviewers, and Clinicians Know?
Fractures are binary events (they either occur or they do not), and predicting whether fractures may occur involves assigning probabilities of one or more of those events occurring over time to populations and to individuals. Fracture risk prediction has become central to the management of osteoporosis and fracture prevention in clinical practice, and the ultimate clinical usefulness of the prediction tools used to estimate these risks depends, at a minimum, on the validity and accuracy of those tools.

Quantitative Computed Tomography —Current Status and New Developments
This review focuses on new developments and current controversies in the field of quantitative computed tomography. Recent positions of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry acknowledged the clinical value of quantitative computed tomography of the spine and the hip using clinical whole-body computed tomography (CT) scanners. Opportunistic screening summarizes a number of new approaches describing the dual use of clinical CT scans. For example, CT scans may have been taken for tumor diagnosis but may also be used for the prediction of high or low fracture risks as an additional benefit for the patient. (Sourc...

Fracture Risk Assessment in Clinical Practice: Why Do It? What to Do It With?
Fracture is the outcome of concern in osteoporosis, and fracture reduction is the primary goal of osteoporosis treatment. Fracture risk assessment is a critical component in osteoporosis management. The earlier approach of deciding on whether to treat solely based on bone mineral density (BMD) T-scores has been supplanted by employing the concept of absolute risk over medium time periods and more encompassing integration of clinical risk factors with or without BMD into robust fracture risk assessment tools.

Does Muscle Atrophy and Fatty Infiltration Plateau or Persist in Chronic Spinal Cord Injury?
The objective of this study was to prospectively measure changes in muscle atrophy and fat content of distal lower extremity muscles and explore related factors in a cohort of adults with chronic SCI and diverse impairments. Muscle cross-sectional area and density were calculated from peripheral quantitative computed tomography scans of the 66% site of the calf from 70 participants with chronic SCI (50 male, mean age 49 years, C2-T12, American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale A-D) at study enrollment and annually for 2 years.

Positive Association of Obesity and Insulin Resistance With Bone Mineral Density in Tunisian Postmenopausal Women
This study aimed to explore these associations in Tunisian menopausal women. Eighty-one postmenopausal women were recruited. Data were analyzed for obese (N = 57) and non-obese women (N = 24) and for insulin-resistant (N = 43) and non insulin-resistant women (N = 36). Anthropometric and biochemical parameters were recorded. BMD in different sites and body composition were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. (Source: Journal of Clinical Densitometry)
