    Bone mineral content in epileptics (1979)
    Springer
    Calcified tissue international 28 (1979), S. 99-102 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-0827
    Keywords: Epilepsia ; Bone mineral ; Anticonvulsant drug ; Osteoporosis
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Medicine , Physics
    Notes: Summary The bone mineral content in the forearms was measured in 71 epileptics, admitted to an institution for epileptics. The mineral content was decreased in epileptics as compared with agematched normal controls. The decrease was in the order of 10–15% except in the distal end of the forearm in women. Also, the strength of the hand and forearm was decreased by 1/3 and since there is a known relationship between strength and bone mineral content, the loss of bone mineral may be secondary to the loss of strength. Therefore, inactivity could be an important contributory factor to the bone mineral loss in these epileptics.

    Life-style and bone mineral mass in perimenopausal women (1984)
    Springer
    Calcified tissue international 36 (1984), S. 354-356 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-0827
    Keywords: Bone mineral ; Menarche ; Menopause
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Medicine , Physics
    Notes: Summary The bone mineral content of the forearms was measured in 395 women, aged 49, and correlated with menarche, menopause, parity, lactation, contraceptives, diet, smoking, and physical activity. Late menarche and early menopause were associated with a lower than average bone mineral content whereas the life-style parameters were not.

    Predicting various fragility fractures in women by forearm bone densitometry: A follow-up study (1993)
    Springer
    Calcified tissue international 52 (1993), S. 348-353

    ISSN: 1432-0827
    Keywords: Bone mineral ; Fractures ; Body weight ; Screening

    Topics: Biology , Medicine , Physics
    Notes: Summary This is a follow-up of a previous study on the predictive power of bone mineral measurements; two more observation years have been added. A group of women (n=1076) had their forearm bone mineral content (BMC) measured from 1970–1976. All fractures that occurred in 1975–1987 (13 years) were recorded. Four hundred sixty-nine fragility fractures occurred during the collection period. Again, it was found that BMC at the distal end of the forearm is a good predictor of future fracture before the age of 70. The measurement at the proximal site (forearm shafts), however, in contrast to our previous study, has a capacity of predicting fracture also in the age group 70–80. BMC measurements were good predictors of vertebral crush fractures and trochanteric hip fracture but lesser predictors of fractures of the distal end of the forearm. In age groups 40–70, BMC was a stronger predictor of fracture than age, and the risk associated with a 1 SD decrease of BMC 6 was 3.2 for a hip fracture as compared with those without any fragility fracture, even when adjusted for age. In addition to BMC, low body weight was a fracture predictor. Body weight 5 kg below age-adjusted mean increased the risk of a trochanteric hip fracture by 30%. The data are used in hypothetical calculations of the effects of screening.
