Genetic and environmental influences on bone mineral density in pre- and post-menopausal women
(Springer-Verlag; International Osteoporosis Foundation and National Osteoporosis Foundation, 2005-12)
Genetic factors influencing acquisition of peak bone mass account for a substantial proportion of the variation in bone mineral density (BMD), although the extent to which genes also contribute to variation in bone loss ...
Interpregnancy weight retention patterning in women who breastfed
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-03)
This study compares weight change in lactating women with an 18-month interpregnancy interval with woman who also breastfed but did not have an immediate subsequent pregnancy. Cases were women who breastfed an index infant ...
Risk factors for low bone mineral density and the 6-year rate of bone loss among premenopausal and perimenopausal women
(Springer-Verlag; International Osteoporosis Foundation and National Osteoporosis Foundation, 2004-06)
Risk factors that are associated with lower bone mineral density (BMD) may not necessarily be associated with increased bone loss among premenopausal and perimenopausal women. We determined risk factors for lower premenopausal ...
Diet and risk for breast cancer recurrence and survival
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1999-02)
Dietary factors may influence the risk for breast cancer and also the prognosis following diagnosis and treatment. The aim of this study was to assess whether self-reported prediagnosis diet or other patient factors ...
The association of endogenous hormone concentrations and bone mineral density measures in pre- and perimenopausal women of four ethnic groups: SWAN
(Springer-Verlag; International Osteoporosis Foundation and National Osteoporosis Foundation, 2003-01)
We evaluated bone mineral density (BMD), hormone concentrations and menstrual cycle status to test the hypothesis that greater variations in reproductive hormones and menstrual bleeding patterns in mid-aged women might ...
Body size, estrogen use and thiazide diuretic use affect 5-year radial bone loss in postmenopausal women
(Springer-Verlag; European Foundation for Osteoporosis, 1993-11)
Understanding factors associated with more rapid bone mineral loss among aging women is important for establishing preventive strategies for intervention. This study reports factors associated with the 5-year change in ...
Endogenous hormones and bone turnover markers in pre- and perimenopausal women: SWAN
(Springer-Verlag; International Osteoporosis Foundation and National Osteoporosis Foundation, 2003-03)
We tested the hypothesis that higher serum osteocalcin and urinary N-telopeptide of type I collagen (NTx) concentrations would be found in women with increasing cycle irregularity or increased follicle stimulating hormone ...
