TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed genome-wide association studies in up to 130,600 European ancestry participants overall, and stratified for key CKD risk factors, uncovering 6 new loci in association with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), the primary clinical measure of CKD, in or near MPPED2, DDX1, SLC47A1, CDK12, CASP9, and INO80.

TL;DR: Bone structure, strength, and load‐strength ratios contribute to forearm fracture risk independently of areal BMD.

TL;DR: Increased attention must be paid to medical conditions and certain behavioral risk factors which, in aggregate, are very common in elderly men and lead to a substantial increase in the risk of hip fracture with its devastating sequelae of death, disability, and cost.

TL;DR: Effective osteoporosis interventions are underutilized among postmenopausal women who experience a minimal trauma distal forearm fracture, and further work is needed to overcome barriers to optimal osteoporeosis management in these women who are at high risk for future complications.

TL;DR: It is indicated that the fat mass, lean mass, and insulin level are the major determinants of the serum leptin level in adults and after adjusting for these variables, bioavailable E explains a significant proportion of the variance in leptin levels among postmenopausal women not on HRT.
