Moreover, we identified possible predictors of bone turnover changes (such as age, HIV RNA, ATV/r co-administration and kidney function) which may help identify most-at-risk patients.
Apart from trabecular bone turnover changes [ 6, 7], recent studies reported that ovariectomy may induce intracortical remodeling in long bones [ 8, 9].
4) Determine if markers of bone turnover change.
Because the aim was to assess the association between changes in markers of bone turnover and changes in BMD, the present study included only men who have been longitudinally followed for at least 3 visits with serum samples available during follow-up period.
A goal of the present pilot study is to collect preliminary biomechanical data, before and after a course of Tai Chi training, to evaluate Tai Chi's impact on lumbar and hip mechanical load, and to relate these data to clinical measures of bone turnover and changes in BMD.
In the next series of experiments we sought to further strengthen the association between subchondral bone turnover and changes in weightbearing in this model of OA.
Because the effects of antiresorptive treatment on bone turnover and changes in BMD may vary with severity of bone loss [ 41], our study specifically informs the value of TC to post-menopausal women with a firm diagnosis of osteopenia.
When investigating the association between the rate of bone turnover and changes in periprosthetic BMD, biochemical serum markers were analyzed by quartiles with the two middle quartiles combined (lowest 25%, middle 50%, and highest 25%).
Secondary endpoints were the change in urine calcium, change in markers of bone turnover and change in BMD during 12 months.
Third, is there a causal relationship between changes in bone turnover markers and changes in femoral neck BMD?
