Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical markers of bone metabolism and prediction of fracture in elderly women.
Paul Gerdhem,Kaisa K. Ivaska,Sari L. Alatalo,Jussi M. Halleen,Jukka Hellman,Anders Isaksson,Kim Pettersson,H. Kalervo Väänänen,Kristina Åkesson,Karl Obrant +9 more
TL;DR: In elderly women, TRACP5b and urinary fragments of osteocalcin are promising new markers for prediction of fracture, in particular, vertebral fracture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of calcium, dairy product, and vitamin D supplementation on bone mass accrual and body composition in 10–12-y-old girls: a 2-y randomized trial
Sulin Cheng,Arja Lyytikäinen,Heikki Kröger,Christel Lamberg-Allardt,Markku Alen,Arvo Koistinen,Qing Ju Wang,Miia Suuriniemi,Harri Suominen,Anitta Mahonen,Patrick Nicholson,Kaisa K. Ivaska,Riitta Korpela,Claes Ohlsson,Kalervo Väänänen,Frances A. Tylavsky +15 more
TL;DR: Examining the effects of both food-based and pill supplements of calcium and vitamin D on bone mass and body composition in girls aged 10-12 y found increasing calcium intake by consuming cheese appears to be more beneficial for cortical bone mass accrual than the consumption of tablets containing a similar amount of calcium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Release of intact and fragmented osteocalcin molecules from bone matrix during bone resorption in vitro.
Kaisa K. Ivaska,Teuvo Hentunen,Jukka Vääräniemi,Hannele Ylipahkala,Kim Pettersson,H. Kalervo Väänänen +5 more
TL;DR: Osteocalcin is released from the bone matrix during bone resorption as intact molecules and fragments, suggesting that serum osteocalcin should be considered as a marker of bone turnover rather than bone formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Fracture on Bone Turnover Markers: A Longitudinal Study Comparing Marker Levels Before and After Injury in 113 Elderly Women
TL;DR: Markers were not altered in the immediate postfracture period but were clearly elevated during fracture repair, indicating that recent fracture should be taken into account when markers are used in clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum TRACP 5b is a useful marker for monitoring alendronate treatment: comparison with other markers of bone turnover.
Arja Nenonen,Sulin Cheng,Kaisa K. Ivaska,Sari L. Alatalo,Sari L. Alatalo,Terho Lehtimäki,Heinrich Schmidt-Gayk,Kirsti Uusi-Rasi,Ari Heinonen,Pekka Kannus,Harri Sievänen,Ilkka Vuori,H. Kalervo Väänänen,Jussi M. Halleen +13 more
TL;DR: It is shown that serum TRACP 5b had higher clinical sensitivity, area under the ROC curve, and signal‐to‐noise ratio than the other markers.
