Cortical Porosity Identifies Women With Osteopenia at Increased Risk for Forearm Fractures

In women with osteoporosis, porosity is captured by aBMD, so measuring UDR cortical porosity does not improve diagnostic sensitivity, but in womenWith osteopenia, cortex porosity was associated with forearm fractures and high porosity did not distinguish those with fractures from those without.

Trabecular and Cortical Microstructure and Fragility of the Distal Radius in Women

It is hypothesized that growth‐ and age‐related deficits in trabecular bone disrupt this frugally assembled microarchitecture, producing bone fragility, and cortical and trabECular fragmentation during aging, may contribute to the fragility of the distal radius.

Meeting the nutritional needs of elderly residents in aged-care: Are we doing enough?

Substituting some ‘extra’ foods for serves of dairy, vegetables and wholegrain foods would improve the nutritional quality of foods, without altering food volume, so is feasible to improve nutritional status in elderly aged-care residents.

Impact of whole dairy matrix on musculoskeletal health and aging–current knowledge and research gaps

It is concluded that the dairy matrix exerts an effect on bone and muscle health that is more than the sum of its nutrients, and it is suggested that whole foods, not only single nutrients, need to be assessed in future observational and intervention studies of health outcomes.

Upright activity and higher motor function may preserve bone mineral density within 6 months of stroke: a longitudinal study

Better motor control and walking recovery were associated with reduced bone loss within 6 months of stroke, and interventions targeting these impairments from early post-stroke are warranted.

Screening, Diagnosis and Management of Sarcopenia and Frailty in Hospitalized Older Adults: Recommendations from the Australian and New Zealand Society for Sarcopenia and Frailty Research (ANZSSFR)…

The expert working group concluded there was insufficient evidence to support any specific screening tool for sarcopenia and recommends an assessment of probable sarc Openia/sarcopenia using established criteria for all older (≥65 years) hospitalized patients or in younger patients with conditions that may increase their risk of sarc openia.

Consuming two additional serves of dairy food a day significantly improves energy and nutrient intakes in ambulatory aged care residents: A feasibility study

Two additional serves of dairy food can significantly improve nutrient intake in aged-care residents and its ease of provision makes it a viable option to potentially prevent malnutrition.
