In this review, we have made use of some simple engineering concepts to summarize
current efforts relating QCT measures to bone density and strength. From a variety of in vitro …

A substantial and still growing body of research tries to link different psychological models
and chronic diseases, with special emphasis on cardiovascular disease. These efforts have …

Women with low bone density in the radius or calcaneus are at increased risk of hip fracture.
To see whether bone density of the hip measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry is a better …

Hip fracture is an important cause of morbidity and mortality among the elderly. Current
methods of assessing a patient's risk of hip fracture involve local estimates of bone density …

To determine whether measurement of bone density predicts hip fracture in women, we
prospectively studied 9703 nonblack women aged 65 years and older who had …

Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured at the lumbar spine and cervical and
intertrochanteric regions of the proximal femur by dual‐photon absorptiometry and bone …

Background Depression is associated with alterations in behavior and neuroendocrine
systems that are risk factors for decreased bone mineral density. This study was undertaken …

Background Smoking is recognized as a risk factor for vertebral, forearm, and hip fractures.
Since bone density is an important determinant of bone strength, we conducted a study to …

Over 90 percent of the more than 250,000 hip fractures that occur annually in the United
States are the result of falls from standing height. Despite this, the stresses associated with …

The simultaneous multi access reasoning technology system of the present invention utilizes
both existing knowledge and implicit information that can be numerically extracted from …
