Osteoporosis-related to various factors including menopause and aging-is the most common
chronic metabolic bone disease, which is characterized by increased bone fragility …

Osteoporosis is a systemic metabolic bone disease characterized by a reduction in bone
mass, bone quality, and microarchitectural deterioration. An imbalance in bone remodeling …

The skeleton provides mechanical support for stature and locomotion, protects vital organs,
and controls mineral homeostasis. A healthy skeleton must be maintained by constant bone …

Osteoporosis is a disorder in which loss of bone strength leads to fragility fractures. This
review examines the fundamental pathogenetic mechanisms underlying this disorder, which …

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 …

This second edition of the Bone Mechanics Handbook summarizes the current
understanding of bone mechanics with comprehensive coverage of the histology …

Osteoporosis is defined as a systemic skeletal disease characterized by decreased bone
mass and micro-architectural deterioration leading to increased fracture risk. Osteoporosis …

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 …
