AbstractIntroductionResearch from recent years indicate a problem of excessive body weight among soldiers, who due to the kind of carried out work should reveal the best health and fitness. Moreover, proper nutritional status in case of soldiers is extremely important, as it significantly affects their physical fitness. The aim of the study was to determine impact of the diet and physical activity on selected indicators of protein-energy and mineral nutritional status.Materials and methodsOne hundred and twenty male soldiers (aged: 28 ± 5; years of service: 5 ± 5), serving completed validated for Polish population the Food Frequency Questionnaire and long-form International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Body composition was determined by an electric bioimpedance method (TANITA MC-780) and bone mineral density of forearm bone of the non-dominant hand was assessed by the DEXA densitometric method, using apparatus EXA 3000.Results and discussionThis study confirmed the impact of both the diet and physical activity on selected measures of soldiers’ nutritional status, i.e. fat mass index and bone mineral density. Out of selected 61 products negative correlation between FMI and frequency of apples and pears consumption (r = -0.23, p = 0,023), and positive correlation with frequency of beer (r = 0.20, p = 0.049) and vodka and spirits drinking (r = 0.26, p = 0.010) consumption were found. While the T-score value positively correlated with frequency of tropical fruits (r = 0.23, p = 0.024), avocado (r = 0.25, p = 0.014), fine-grained not refined groats (r = 0.22, p = 0.030) and eggs (r = 0.29, p = 0.004) consumption. A negative correlation was found for frequency of refined bread (r = -0.24, p = 0.019), sausages(r = -0.35, p < 0.023), high-quality cold cuts (r = -0.25, p = 0.014, sugar to sweeten beverages (r = -0.31, p = 0.002), biscuits and cakes (r = -0.23, p = 0.016), salty snacks (r = -0.23, p = 0.023), fruit juices and nectars (r = -0.28, p = 0.005) and sugar-sweetened beverages (r = -0.34, p = 0.001). A negative correlation with FMI (r = -0.22, p = 0.036) for weekly physical activity expressed in MET-minutes/week was found. Positive correlations were found between T-score value and physical activity expressed in MET-minutes per week in total, housework, house maintenance and caring for family (r = 0.22; p = 0.040), and recreation, sport and physical activity in leisure time (r = 0.25, p = 0.019), as well as moderate physical activity (r = 0.28, p = 0.008) and intense one (r = 0.21, p = 0.046). The founded abnormalities in nutritional status, as well as numerous nutritional errors indicate a need for further monitoring of this group of soldiers, not only in terms of accuracy of nutritional status, their diet and physical activity, but also wider understood health behavior

Research from recent years indicates a problem of excessive body weight among soldiers, who, due to the kind of work carried out, should possess good health and fitness levels. The aim of the study was to determine the association between diet and physical activity and the nutritional status of soldiers of the Polish Air Cavalry Units. One hundred and twenty male soldiers (aged 28 ± 5 years) completed a questionnaire (food frequency questionnaire, long-form International Physical Activity Questionnaire). Body composition was determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis, and bone calcification of the forearm was assessed by the DXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) densitometric method. This study confirmed the association between both the diet and physical activity and body mass index (BMI), fat mass index (FMI), and bone mineral density (BMD) expressed as T-score. Significant negative correlations were found between BMI and the frequency of consumption of cereal products, meat products and fish, and nonalcoholic beverages, between FMI and cereal products, and between BMD T-score and meat products and fish, fat, nuts, and grains, sweets and snacks, and nonalcoholic beverages. Physical activity expressed as metabolic equivalent (MET-minutes/week) negatively correlated with FMI (but not BMI) and positively correlated with the BMD T-score. This study confirmed numerous irregularities in eating behavior and in nutritional status indices; therefore, there is a need for nutritional education and further monitoring of both dietary behaviors and nutritional status of soldiers.

Abstract Introduction Spine and hip bone mineral density (BMD) have previously been shown to predict the risk of sustaining future fractures. Although these have been shown in population studies, there is a paucity of trials looking at the relationship between BMD and 10 year probability of major osteoporotic fractures (Using FRAX UK without BMD) in patients with previous fragility fractures. Aims To evaluate the correlation between spinal T-score and an absolute 10 year probability of sustaining a major osteoporotic fracture (using FRAX without BMD) in patients with prior fragility fractures. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 202 patients (29 males and 173 females) with prior fragility fractures attending a fracture prevention clinic between January and August 2019 was performed. Patients with pathological and high impact traumatic fractures were excluded. The BMD at the spine was determined using the lowest T-score of the vertebrae from L1 to L4. Using the FRAX (UK) without BMD, the absolute 10 year probability of sustaining a major osteoporotic fracture was calculated for each patient. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26 software. Results The mean T-score at the spine was −1.15 (SD +/− 1.90) for all patients, −0.68 (SD +/− 0.45) for males and − 1.23 (SD +/− 0.14) for females. The mean FRAX score without BMD for major osteoporotic fracture was 18.5% (SD +/− 8.84) for all patients, 11.41% (SD +/−0.62) and 19.7% (SD +/−0.68) for males and females respectively. Pearson correlation coefficient showed a statistically significant, slightly negative correlation between spinal T- score and the FRAX (UK) without BMD (r = −0.157; p &lt; 0.05). Correlation was not statistically significant when males (r = 0.109; p = 0.59) and females (r = 0.148; p = 0.053) were considered independently. Conclusion In patients with prior fragility fracture spinal BMD has a statistically significant negative correlation with an absolute 10 year probability of sustaining a major osteoporotic fracture.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Several studies have analyzed the relationship between physical activity and bone density. However, the prescription of exercise is not entirely clear as to the type, quantity and intensity. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine if there is a relationship between the amount of exercise and changes in bone mineral density. Methods: Fifty-two women, members of the Municipal Program of Physical Activity for Seniors, voluntarily underwent two ultrasonographies of the calcaneus within a 6-month interval. During this period, all physical activity was recorded. Afterwards, a lineal correlation study was carried out between the amount of exercise and bone changes, expressed as T-Score variation, first in total number of participants and then in groups. Considering the average body weight obtained for all women, two groups were created ("light" < 69 kg and "heavy" > 69 kg). Later, women who had participated in less than 72% of the targeted program were excluded from both groups, and the differences between the groups "light and trained" and "heavy and trained" were analyzed. To do so, the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test was used. Results: A significant relationship of r= -0.59 was found between the total amount of exercise and the T-Score variation in the group of women above 69 kg. Significant differences were found between the "light and trained" group and the "heavy and trained" group with respect to the variation of T-Score. Conclusion: The effect of exercise on bone mineral density is determined, somehow, by body weight. This interaction is due, possibly, to mechanical demands difference.

Introduction: Little is known about the impact of enzyme-inducing antiseizure drugs (EI-ASD) on the reduction of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in men with epilepsy (MWE). Objectives: To evaluate the BMD in MWE exposed to EI-ASDs (phenytoin, carbamazepine and phenobarbital) and its relationship with the duration of epilepsy. Methods: We evaluated BMD from 74 consecutive MWE (median age (range), 52.5 (25- 74) years) exposed to previous or current EI-ASDs, followed at UNICAMP-Brazil. Individuals were split into two groups (young-group, 31 individuals [25-49 years]; older group, 43 subjects, [50-74 years]). The BMD test evaluated t-score indexes from the femoral neck, whole femur and lumbar spine. Osteopenia was defined with t-score of - 1.0 to -2.4; osteoporosis, with T-scores lower than -2.5. Data were extracted from medical records. We analyzed data with SPSS22, performed chi-square tests for categorical variables and applied a partial correlation test (controlled for age) between BD scores and duration of epilepsy. Results: BMD was reduced in 49/74 men (66.2%). Both groups presented equivalent proportions of BMD abnormalities (p=0.087) (young-group [14/41 normal (45%), 12/31 osteopenia (39%), 5/31 osteoporosis (16%)]; older-group [11/43 normal (26%), 16/43 osteopenia (37%), 16/43 osteoporosis (37%)]. BMD did not correlate with the duration of disease or age of onset. Conclusion: BMD reduction is highly prevalent in MWE exposed to EI-ASD, including young individuals. Data suggest that exposure to EI-ASD may associate with early BMD reduction, which evolve to osteopenia and osteoporosis. BMD evaluation in MWE and appropriate treatment may be necessary to reduce fractures’ risk.

<span>Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease. Parameter from any bone site in the body has possibility to be developed as a predictor of osteoporosis. The alteration in the mandible trabecular bone is visible in periapical radiographs. The aim of this study was to correlate the area parameter and the integrated density of periapical radiograph with bone mineral density. Image analysis of periapical radiograph i.e. measurement of area parameter and integrated density was done on Region of Interest (ROI) by using canny edge detection method. Result of this study showed that the area parameter has asignificant (α&lt;0.05) negative correlation with the bone mass density (BMD) of the lumbar spine (r = -0.371) and T-score of the lumbar spine (r = -0.383). The linear regression test showed that the area parameter only can be used to predict T-score of the lumbar spine (F=5.822, α&lt;0.05). The integrated density showed a significant (α &lt; 0.05) negative correlation with T-score of hip (r = -0.332) and T-score of lumbar spine (r = -0.377). It can be concluded that the area parameter can be used as one of input parameters for computer-aided system of osteoporosis early detection by using periapical radiograph.</span>

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis-associated fractures burden both individuals and the overall healthcare system. Bone mineral density (BMD) screening remains the gold standard measure for identifying patients at risk. OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of convenient, pharmacist-led BMD screening and counseling sessions on identification and education of patients at risk for or with osteoporosis. METHODS: Nonpregnant persons >18 years of age were eligible for enrollment in this descriptive study. At an urban retail pharmacy, participants underwent risk factor assessment, peripheral BMD scanning, and personalized counseling. At 3 and 6 months after screening, subjects were questioned by telephone regarding any subsequent primary care provider (PCP) interactions, as well as any behaviors initiated and/or medications modified. RESULTS: Of the 102 subjects screened, 22.6% and 11.7% were identified as being at medium risk (T score −1.0 to −2.5) and high risk (T score −2.5 or less) for osteoporosis, respectively. By 6 months, 42.5% of the participants reported increasing their dietary intake of calcium, 29.3% began or increased calcium supplements, and 54.9% positively modified smoking status, exercise level, alcohol consumption, or caffeine intake. Additionally, 24 of 52 subjects who had discussed their results with a PCP by 6 months also received a treatment recommendation. Eighty-nine participants reported the community location increased their likelihood of receiving a BMD scan. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, pharmacist-led BMD screenings that include individualized counseling sessions appear convenient, accessible, and beneficial for patients. With the establishment of clinical benefit of and positive reception to such screenings, pharmacists can now look toward securing consistent reimbursement for this vital pharmaceutical care service.
