BMD and clinical risk factors predict hip and other osteoporotic fractures. The combination
of clinical risk factors and BMD provide higher specificity and sensitivity than either alone. …

Objective: Vitamin D has been shown to have multiple biological targets mediated by the
vitamin D receptor present in many cells. Specific actions on the central nervous system (CNS) …

Preventing falls and fall-related fractures in the elderly is an objective yet to be reached. There

decreasing the incidence of hip fractures in institutionalized elderly subjects through a reduction …

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is commonly used in the care of patients for
diagnostic classification of osteoporosis, low bone mass (osteopenia), or normal bone density; …

Background Whether multiparametric MRI improves the detection of clinically significant
prostate cancer and avoids the need for systematic biopsy in biopsy-naive patients remains …

We conducted a population-based cohort study in 7598 white healthy women, aged 75 years
and over, recruited from the voting lists. We measured at baseline bone mineral density (…
