It is also important to note that direct measurements on bone, as well as measures of bone biomarkers, show no evidence that low to medium doses of ICS effect bone density [ 5].
Furthermore, only BMC and BMD measurements were available in this study, and consequently no other measures of bone strength could be explored, neither could counts of bone formation markers.
Activity during adolescence has a much greater influence on measures of bone health than calcium intake.
Of 37 studies, 27 found no relationship between dietary calcium or dairy-product intake and measures of bone health.
The technique was shown to provide reliable measures of bone morphology.
Marshall, D., Johnell, O. & Wedel, H. Meta-analysis of how well measures of bofe mineral density predict occurrence of osteoporotic fractures.
A significant anabolic response to loading was observed in static and dynamic microCT parameters as well as histomophometric measures of bone formation (Figs 2–5).
During DO and early consolidation, the measures of bone density in the regenerates decreased compared to control for all groups.
Important geometric design measures of bone substitute include pore size, interconnection size, porosity, permeability and surface area of the substitute.
The measures of bone mass and architecture need to be supplemented with physicochemical and compositional measures for better assessment of fracture risk.
Additional measures of bone quality, such as microarchitectural characteristics and bone tissue properties, including the presence of damage, may improve the diagnosis of fracture risk.
