Published Wednesday 19 July 2017 By Hannah Nichols New research from the University of Exeter and the University of Leicester, both in the United Kingdom, suggests that a single 1-minute bout of high-intensity, weight-bearing physical activity is associated with better bone health in women. Such brief bursts of activity are equivalent to a run at a […]
Written by Ana Sandoiu Published: Thursday 13 April 2017 New research – conducted by scientists from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom and the University of Eastern Finland in Kuopio – suggests that low levels of magnesium may increase the risk of bone fractures and that, conversely, high levels may ward off this […]
APRIL 13, 2017 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition ShamsWhite MM, et al. – Researchers assessing the impacts of dietary protein consumption alone and with calcium with or without vitamin D (Ca±D) on bone health measures in adults. Current evidence shows no adverse impacts of higher protein consumptions. Although there were positive trends on bone mineral […]

Ronald Grisanti D.C., D.A.B.C.O., D.A.C.B.N., M.S. Millions of Americans have been led to believe that osteoporosis is simply a deficiency of the common drugs, Boniva, Evista, Actonel, or Fosamax. Many are prescribed the “knee-jerk” recommendation of 1500 mgs of calcium a day to prevent osteoporosis. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. It is […]
FEBRUARY 09, 2017 Metabolism Palermo A, et al. This study was focused on determining the effect of Vitamin K (plasma levels, dietary intake, and oral supplementation) on bone health with specific emphasis in bone remodeling, mineral density and fragility fractures. Despite multiple observational and interventional studies on the association of Vitamin K and bone metabolism, […]
June 10, 2016 PPI users have reduced mean femoral T-scores, increased frequency of osteoporosis, osteopenia WEDNESDAY, June 8, 2016 (HealthDay News) — Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use is associated with increased risk of developing osteoporosis and osteopenia in femur bones, according to a study published online May 31 in the International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases. […]
Researchers Aim to Clarify Vitamin D Supplementation May 05, 2016 By Laird Harrison Should you prescribe Vitamin D to your patient to prevent fractures? If so, how much? Such questions are becoming increasingly confusing for many clinicians as studies with conflicting results pop up in the literature. “The data in terms of fracture reduction has […]
April 05, 2016 JAMA Internal Medicine TAKE-HOME MESSAGE Participants in the Women’s Health Initiative observational study completed a food frequency questionnaire, and adherence to a Mediterranean diet was assessed to evaluate the effect on fractures in postmenopausal women. Higher adherence to a Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of hip fracture, but not […]
Ronald Grisanti D.C., D.A.B.C.O., D.A.C.B.N., M.S. Osteoporosis is reaching an epidemic status. It leads to 1.5 million fractures per year. The traditional way one is evaluated for osteoporosis is the standard Bone Density Test. Although important to have done, this is a static test and “only” provides information on the amount of bone that has already been […]
J Acad Nutr Diet. 2014 Jan;114(1):72-85. doi: 10.1016/j.jand.2013.08.021. Epub 2013 Oct 30. Tang M, O’Connor LE, Campbell WW. Abstract High-protein (>30% of energy from protein or >1.2 g/kg/day) and moderately high-protein (22% to 29% of energy from protein or 1.0 to 1.2 g/kg/day) diets are popular for weight loss, but the effect of dietary protein […]
Tara Haelle January 06, 2016 Two thirds of women receiving medication for osteoporosis potentially did not need treatment, according to a retrospective cohort study published online January 4 in JAMA Internal Medicine. In fact, half of these women with possibly inappropriate prescriptions were younger and without risk factors that would have indicated screening, found Joshua […]
Date: November 8, 2015 Source: American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Summary: A new study shows certain fractures due to osteoporosis can cause premature death in people 45 and older. This is the largest study, to date, that shows a connection between these fractures and premature death. A new study, presented this week at the American […]
10.11.2015 0 COMMENTS However, modest bone loss seen with aerobic training by Nancy Walsh Senior Staff Writer, MedPage Today SEATTLE — Older adults who diet and exercise are more likely to experience bone loss if they engage in aerobic training than resistance training, a researcher reported here. After 5 months, bone mineral density (BMD) showed […]
BMJ, 10/07/2015 Tai V, et al. The aim is to determine whether increasing calcium intake from dietary sources affects bone mineral density (BMD) and, if so, whether the effects are similar to those of calcium supplements. Increasing calcium intake from dietary sources or by taking calcium supplements produces small non–progressive increases in BMD, which are […]
Researchers find no evidence that increasing intake will prevent fractures WEDNESDAY, Sept. 30, 2015 (HealthDay News) — Extra calcium may not protect aging bones after all. The findings appear online in two reviews published online Sept. 29 in The BMJ. One review focused on two dietary studies that compared how patients over 50 years of […]
Researchers question current daily intake recommendations 09.30.2015 by Jeff Minerd Contributing Writer, MedPage Today Increasing one’s calcium intake, whether from dietary sources or supplements, does little to improve bone health or prevent fractures in older adults, according to a pair of systematic reviews published in the The BMJ. Given these findings, calcium supplementation should not […]

July 14, 2015 Source: University of Missouri-Columbia Men gradually lose bone mass as they age, which puts them at risk for developing osteoporosis, a condition that makes bones weak and prone to breakage. Nearly 2 million men in the U.S. have the condition, and 16 million more have low bone mass, studies have shown. Now, […]
