The diagnosis of osteoporosis
TL;DR: This paper summarizes issues and proposes diagnostic criteria for osteoporosis for practical use and addresses a number of problems which need to be addressed in adapting a conceptual definition for clinical use.

TL;DR: Dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry measurements of femoral bone mineral density (BMD) from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III, 1988–1994) are used to estimate the overall scope of the disease in the older U.S. population and explore different approaches for defining low BMD in older men in that age range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age and bone mass as predictors of fracture in a prospective study.
TL;DR: It was found that incidence of fracture increased with both increasing age and decreasing radius bone mass, and it was concluded that bone mass is a useful predictor of fractures but that other age-related factors associated with fractures need to be identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium supplementation and increases in bone mineral density in children.
C. Conrad Johnston,Judy Z. Miller,Charles W. Slemenda,Teresa K. Reister,Siu Hui,Joe C. Christian,Munro Peacock +6 more
TL;DR: In prepubertal children whose average dietary intake of calcium approximated the recommended dietary allowance, calcium supplementation increased the rate of increase in bone mineral density.
