Understanding and Communicating the Benefits and Risks of Denosumab, Raloxifene, and Teriparatide for the Treatment of Osteoporosis
The number needed to treat is a valuable metric to determine the benefit of therapy, but it must be viewed against the respective number needed to harm. Denosumab and teriparatide (TPTD) have proven antifracture efficacy at vertebral and nonvertebral sites, whereas raloxifene has proven antifracture efficacy at the spine only. Denosumab use has been associated with a small, yet statistically significant, increased incidence of eczema and serious cellulitis. Raloxifene use has been associated with statistically significant increases in the risk of venous thromboembolism and possibly deadly stroke, although not an increase in total strokes.

Factor-analysis results for the relationship of sociodemographic and clinical and functional indicators with the probability of detection of age-related diseases in the population of northwestern Russia
Abstract On the basis of factor analysis using the PCA (principal component analysis) technique an attempt was made to identify the determinants of pathology development in old and elderly patients with an estimate of their influence on the population of northwest Russia. Medical data records of 712 patients aged from 59 to 98 of both genders were analyzed. It was established that factor 1 is associated with marital status, living conditions, family relationships, bad habits, appearance, diet, hearing and visual impairment, and intestinal dysrhythmia, ability to move, and sleep disorders. Factor 2 accounted for a...

Primary Ovarian Insufficiency
Abstract Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a syndrome of amenorrhoea, sex steroid deficiency, and elevated gonadotropins in a woman aged more than two standard deviations below the mean age for menopause estimated for her reference population. In practical terms, it occurs spontaneously in 1 % of women before the age of 40 years. Apart from idiopathic POI, many women will have impaired ovarian function by age 40 years as a consequence of surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. Of identifiable causes of POI, the most common are concurrent autoimmune diseases such as thyroid and adrenal disease, and chromoso...

Moving in extreme environments: what’s extreme and who decides?
Abstract Humans work, rest and play in immensely varied extreme environments. The term ‘extreme’ typically refers to insufficiency or excess of one or more stressors, such as thermal energy or gravity. Individuals’ behavioural and physiological capacity to endure and enjoy such environments varies immensely. Adverse effects of acute exposure to these environments are readily identifiable (e.g. heat stroke or bone fracture), whereas adverse effects of chronic exposure (e.g. stress fractures or osteoporosis) may be as important but much less discernable. Modern societies have increasingly sought to protect pe...

Health in older women athletes
Physical activity is commonly recognized as healthy behavior and an important part of modern life. A large body of evidence shows that regular physical activity plays a protective role against the development of several conditions, such as cardiovascular disease (hypertension and thromboembolic stroke), type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, colon cancer, breast cancer and psychiatric illness (depression and anxiety) [1]. Recently, some evidence has been found concerning a negative correlation between physical activity and cognitive decline among women [2].

Risk Factors for Falls in Older Korean Adults: The 2011 Community Health Survey.
In conclusion, age, female sex, marital status, residence location, self-rated health, stress, and several chronic conditions were significantly associated with the risk for falls in the older Korean adults. Our findings suggest that these risk factors should be addressed in public health policies for preventing falls. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT: PMID: 25408578 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Teaching public health related to the elderly.
Authors: Clarfield AM Abstract It has become axiomatic that the world is aging, not just in the developed countries, but in the less developed regions as well. In 1992 the global elderly population (age 65+) was estimated to be almost 350,000,000 persons, or more than 6% of the world total. During that year the net balance of the world's elderly grew by more than 800,000 persons each month. Projections to the year 2010 indicate that the net monthly gain will rise to more than 1.1 million elderly people. In the early 1990s, 26 countries had more than 2,000,000 elderly persons. The projections suggest that this numbe...

Prolonged risk of subtrochanteric and diaphyseal femur fractures after discontinuing alendronate treatment: A nationwide nested case-control study in Taiwan
Conclusion Discontinuation of alendronate therapy did not reduce the risk of subtrochanteric femoral fractures until it was discontinued for >5 years. In conclusion, alendronate use significantly increased the risk of subtrochanteric femoral fractures, and the risk may persist for 5 years after discontinuation.

Depression: It's Not Just in Your Head, It's Also in Your Genes
This study demonstrated shorter telomeres in daughters of moms who had depression and greater hormonal reactivity to stress in these girls. When the girls were followed until age 18, 60 percent of those in the high-risk group developed depression, a condition that was not evident when they were first studied. The telomere was a biomarker, an individual hallmark that a person is at higher risk for an illness -- in this case for depression. We already knew that shortened telomeres were a risk factor for chronic, physical diseases but now the evidence is emerging for its likely role in depression. Should you go out and get ...

Cigarette smoking has a positive and independent effect on testosterone levels.
Authors: Wang W, Yang X, Liang J, Liao M, Zhang H, Qin X, Mo L, Lv W, Mo Z Abstract Previous studies have suggested that testosterone levels are linked to a variety of diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, type-2 diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, erectile dysfunction, depression, stroke and osteoporosis. Since cigarette smoking is a major health problem and highly prevalent among men, several groups have studied the effects of cigarette smoking on testosterone levels in men. However, the results have been conflicting. Our objectives were to examine the association of cigarette smoking and serum levels of sex ho...

Depression – not just in your head, it’s also in your genes
We all want to understand telomeres, the caps at the ends of our DNA strands, because the longer they are the longer we tend to live – and live freer of age related illnesses like heart disease, stroke, dementia, diabetes, and osteoporosis - and are free of depression.read more
