Bone mineral density tends to decrease in women after menopause, putting them at a higher risk of osteoarthritis and fractures. A recent study suggests that doing 30 minutes twice per week of high intensity resistance and impact training may help...
A recent study suggests that increasing the amount of vitamin D and calcium a person consumes via dairy products may dramatically reduce the number of osteoporosis-related injuries in mature adults and lower the cost of treating those injuries. The researchers...
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become brittle and fragile through tissue loss, often due to hormonal changes or nutritional deficiency. A recent study suggests that eating more vitamin E-rich foods and increasing blood levels of vitamin E may be...
Men naturally lose bone mass they get older, putting them at risk of developing osteoporosis. Approximately 2 million men in the US have osteoporosis and 16 million more have low bone mass. A recent study suggests that lifting weights and...
Osteoporosis is the weakening of the bones, which often occurs with age. A recent study found a link between coronary heart disease and osteoporosis, highlighting the need to evaluate a history of heart disease in the management of osteoporosis. Participants...
Osteoporosis is often considered to be a disease that disproportionately affects women. However, recent data suggests that osteoporotic fractures occur in one in five men over 50, a number that is expected to rise dramatically in the next half century....
As we age, bone mass density and muscle mass decrease, and as a result the risk of hip fracture increases substantially. However, a recent study conducted in Norway found that a high concentration of magnesium in drinking water may help...
Vitamin D is often recommended for improving and maintaining bone health. A recent study of postmenopausal women suggests, however, that vitamin D3 alone may not have bone health benefits. On the other hand, when calcium was given either alone or...
Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and can lead to devastating breaks, especially in the wrists, spine and hips. In a breakthrough study, researchers have established a connection between vitamin K2 intake and improved bone health in postmenopausal women,...
