Jaw Bone Density in Chronic Areca Nut Chewers and Nonchewers Using Digital Panoramic Radiography Indices as a Screening Tool for Osteoporosis: Protocol for a Comparative Evaluation

Jaw Bone Density in Chronic Areca Nut Chewers and Nonchewers Using Digital Panoramic Radiography Indices as a Screening Tool for Osteoporosis: Protocol for a Comparative Evaluation

Osteoporosis, which affects bone density, is a common finding in women older than 40 years. It can also be seen in men with various diseases affecting the bones or taking medications that affect bone mineral density (BMD). The risk of osteoporosis increases with age and can have deleterious effect on the body. Early detection of this condition may help to halt progression and offer prompt treatment to the patients.

Developing and Evaluating an Interactive, Case-Based, Web-Based Active Learning Tool for Primary Care Physicians (Community Fracture Capture Learning Hub): Protocol for an Acceptability and Engagement Study

Developing and Evaluating an Interactive, Case-Based, Web-Based Active Learning Tool for Primary Care Physicians (Community Fracture Capture Learning Hub): Protocol for an Acceptability and Engagement Study

Participating PCPs will complete 4 knowledge quizzes (1 quiz in each of weeks 2-5) and a questionnaire regarding osteoporosis caseload and demographics, confidence in case finding, investigations and treatment initiation, and barriers to osteoporosis case finding, investigations, and treatment initiation.

Effectiveness of an e-Book on Bone Health as Educational Material for Adolescents: Single-Group Experimental Study

Effectiveness of an e-Book on Bone Health as Educational Material for Adolescents: Single-Group Experimental Study

Raising osteoporosis awareness among adolescents is important for reducing the risk of the disease later in life [27]. Despite its significance, research on osteoporosis knowledge among adolescents in Malaysia is limited, with such research predominantly focusing on adults and older populations [10,28]. One study highlighted deficiencies in osteoporosis knowledge and engagement in bone health practices among adolescents [29].

Sex- and Age-Specific Prevalence of Osteopenia and Osteoporosis: Sampling Survey

Sex- and Age-Specific Prevalence of Osteopenia and Osteoporosis: Sampling Survey

The DALY and death count of both osteopenia and osteoporosis-related fractures increased by 121.07% and 148.65%, respectively during the same period, and China is among the top 5 countries with the highest DALYs number in the osteopenia and osteoporosis-related fractures [4]. The risk factors of osteoporosis include family history, abnormal BMI, unhealthy lifestyles, being a woman, and aging [5].

Evaluation of an mHealth App on Self-Management of Osteoporosis: Prospective Survey Study

Evaluation of an mHealth App on Self-Management of Osteoporosis: Prospective Survey Study

Osteoporosis ranks as the fourth most prevalent chronic disease globally, carrying substantial negative personal and economic consequences [1]. Osteoporosis affects approximately 40% of women and 17% of men aged 50 years or older. Despite its high prevalence, osteoporosis is significantly underdiagnosed [2].

Potential Effects of an Exoskeleton-Assisted Overground Walking Program for Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury Who Uses a Wheelchair on Imaging and Serum Markers of Bone Strength: Pre-Post Study

Potential Effects of an Exoskeleton-Assisted Overground Walking Program for Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury Who Uses a Wheelchair on Imaging and Serum Markers of Bone Strength: Pre-Post Study

This complication, referred to as sublesional osteoporosis, is associated with an increased risk of fracture, notably at the distal femur and proximal tibia [5]. Bone strength is directly related to fracture risk and can be influenced by several characteristics, such as bone mineral density and content, as well as geometry [6]. Measuring areal bone mineral density by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) remains widely recommended to assess fracture risk in this population [7].

A Machine Learning–Based Preclinical Osteoporosis Screening Tool (POST): Model Development and Validation Study

A Machine Learning–Based Preclinical Osteoporosis Screening Tool (POST): Model Development and Validation Study

Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to enhanced bone fragility and a consequent increase in fracture risk [1]. Over 200 million people worldwide are affected by osteoporosis [2]. In Hong Kong, about 300,000 postmenopausal women and 100,000 men aged older than 50 years had osteoporosis in 2009, and the number of individuals with low bone mass is expected to double by the year 2030 [3].

Effectiveness and Cost of Using Facebook Recruitment to Elicit Canadian Women’s Perspectives on Bone Health and Osteoporosis: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Effectiveness and Cost of Using Facebook Recruitment to Elicit Canadian Women’s Perspectives on Bone Health and Osteoporosis: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Osteoporosis is a prevalent health condition, affecting more than two-thirds of postmenopausal women, with up to half experiencing a fragility fracture [8,9]. However, minimal data are available regarding the perspectives and preferences of Canadian women on the topics of bone health and osteoporosis prevention, limiting efforts to develop acceptable, preference-sensitive management strategies.

Interpretable Deep-Learning Approaches for Osteoporosis Risk Screening and Individualized Feature Analysis Using Large Population-Based Data: Model Development and Performance Evaluation

Additionally, approximately 20% to 30% of patients with osteoporosis die within 1 year of experiencing osteoporotic fractures. Because osteoporosis is typically asymptomatic until a fracture occurs, early screening and detection are crucial strategies for osteoporosis management. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), particularly central DXA of the hip and lumbar spine, is currently the gold standard for measuring bone mineral density (BMD) to define osteoporosis.

Digital Health Technologies for Long-term Self-management of Osteoporosis: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Digital Health Technologies for Long-term Self-management of Osteoporosis: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Osteoporosis, or porous bone, is a serious chronic disease in which the density of bones is silently and progressively reduced, resulting in a more porous and fragile structure [1]. This disease takes a huge personal and economic toll on the world [2]. The disabilities caused by osteoporosis outweigh those caused by cancer and many other chronic diseases. Both men and women can develop osteoporosis; however, women are more susceptible to this disease [3].
