Journal ArticleDOI
Collagen turnover in the adult femoral mid‐shaft: Modeled from anthropogenic radiocarbon tracer measurements
Robert E. M. Hedges,John G. Clement,C. David L. Thomas,Tamsin C. O'Connell,Tamsin C. O'Connell +4 more
TL;DR: The dataset could constrain models of collagen turnover, and human femoral bone collagen isotopically reflects an individual's diet over a much longer period of time than 10 years, including a substantial portion of collagen synthesised during adolescence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation between age, femoral neck cortical stability, and hip fracture risk
PM Mayhew,C. David L. Thomas,John G. Clement,Nigel Loveridge,Thomas J. Beck,William Bonfield,CJ Burgoyne,Jonathan Reeve +7 more
TL;DR: As women age, hip fragility increases because underloading of the superolateral cortex leads to atrophic thinning, and the fragile zones in healthy bones may need strengthening, for example with more well targeted exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-dependent change in the 3D structure of cortical porosity at the human femoral midshaft.
David M.L. Cooper,C. David L. Thomas,John G. Clement,Andrei L. Turinsky,Christoph Wilhelm Sensen,Benedikt Hallgrímsson +5 more
TL;DR: While age was the most important factor, sex and body size were found to play a role in parameters related to canal size and the overall level of porosity in 3D remodeling-related change in the structure of cortical bone porosity across the human lifespan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional variation of intracortical porosity in the midshaft of the human femur: age and sex differences
TL;DR: Age and sex differences in patterns of porosity distribution in the midshaft of the human femur are investigated, showing that a pattern with raised porosity in the posterior and anterolateral regions, and with greater porulence in the inner parts of the cortex, becomes more pronounced with age.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relation of femoral osteon geometry to age, sex, height and weight
TL;DR: These findings are the first to demonstrate a link with weight between bone and adipose tissue and osteon geometry in human bone and the relation between osteon circularity and these parameters was described.
