1. This study examined the influence of brisk walking on skeletal status in post-menopausal women. 2. Subjects were 84 healthy women aged 60–70 years who were previously sedentary and at least 5 years post-menopausal. Subjects were randomly assigned to walking (n = 43) and control (n = 41) groups. Walkers followed a 12-month, largely unsupervised programme of brisk walking. The bone mineral density of the lumbar spine, femoral neck and calcaneus and broadband ultrasonic attention of the calcaneus were measured at baseline and after 12 months. 3. Forty control subjects and 38 walkers completed the study. Walkers built up to 20.4 ± 3.8 min/day (mean ± SD) of brisk walking. Body mass increased in control subjects relative to walkers [mean change (SE) ± 0.9 (0.3) and −0.1 (0.3) kg respectively; P = 0.04]. Predicted maximum oxygen uptake increased in walkers by 2.1 (0.9) ml min−1 kg−1 (P = 0.02). Bone mineral density in the lumbar spine and calcaneus fell in control subjects [–0.005 (0.004) and −0.010 (0.004) g/cm2, respectively] but not in walkers [+0.006 (0.004) and +0.001 (0.004) g/cm2]. The difference in response between groups was significant in the calcaneus (P = 0.04) but not in the lumbar spine (P = 0.08). Mean femoral neck bone mineral density did not change significantly in either group, although changes in walkers were related to the amount of walking completed (r = 0.51, P = 0.001). The change in broadband ultrasonic attenuation of the calcaneus differed between groups [control subjects, −3.7 (0.8); walkers, −0.7 (0.8) dB/MHz; P = 0.01]. 4. Walking decreased bone loss in the calcaneus and possibly in the lumbar spine. It also improved functional capacity and enabled walkers to avoid the increase in body mass seen in control subjects.

Introduction: Low bone mass is a serious complication of post menopausal women with rheumatoid arthritis. We determined the Change in Bone Mineral Density in postmenopausal women with rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was carried out on consecutive postmenopausal women with rheumatoid arthritis who were referred to the Azar 5th teaching hospital affiliated to Golestan University of Medical Sciences, North of Iran in 2009. The required data were gathered from the patients’ medical records. The data were analyzed using SPSS software and statistical tests. Results: We studied 98 postmenopausal women with rheumatoid arthritis. Mean number of years since menopause and mean duration of disease were 9.39 and 5.13 respectively. T Score mean in femoral neck and lumbar spines was -1.45±1.26 and -2.45±1.44 respectively. The overall prevalence of osteoporosis at both the lumbar spine and femoral neck was 13.3. We have found a significant correlation between age, duration of disease, duration of menopause and bone mineral density (P-Value<0.01). Conlusion: Our results indicate a negative effect of age, number of years since menopause and duration of disease on bone mineral density. So, BMD should be measured in high risk women prior to the implementation of any treatment or prevention program.

Abstract Objectives To assess the relationship between sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and bone mineral density (BMD) in Puerto Rican adults living in Boston. Methods Data were from the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study and the Boston Puerto Rican Osteoporosis Study. SAS (version 9.4) was used to conduct general linear model analyses assessing bone mineral density as an outcome in relation to all other relevant covariates. Dietary data including sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake was assessed by an FFQ that was validated for this population. We defined SSB as any sweetened drinks, including soft drinks, fruit drinks and nectars, apple juice and 100% juice blends, sweetened tea, energy drinks, coffee drinks, and Malta. Bone mineral density was determined by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan. Results The mean intake of SSB was 10.7 ± 11 ounces per day, while mean total energy was 1876 ± 843 kcal per day. A majority of the population (62.3%) were post-menopausal women. At the femoral neck, 39.7% had osteopenia and 4.4% had osteoporosis; and at the spine (L2-L4), 30.4% had osteopenia and 8% had osteoporosis. BMD of the femoral neck was significantly associated with SSB intake, and remained significantly associated across all models after adjusting for age, estrogenic status (men, pre-menopausal women or post-menopausal and using estrogen, and post-menopausal women without estrogen), population admixture, BMI, height, total energy, season of bone measurement, alcohol use, smoking status, education, physical activity score, dietary calcium, calcium supplement use, and 25(OH)D (serum) (β ± SE = −0.001 ± 0.001, P = 0.03). Other bone sites did not reach significance. Conclusions Intake of SSBs was significantly related to lower femoral neck BMD, and although not significant, was consistently negatively associated with other bone sites. Reduction in SSB intake may decrease risk of osteoporosis in this population. Funding Sources NIH.
