Abstract
Background—Low adherence to oral bisphosphonates is a common problem that jeopardizes the efficacy of treatment of osteoporosis. No clear screening strategy for the assessment of compliance is widely accepted in these patients.
Methods—The International Osteoporo...

Calcium plus vitamin D supplementation and risk of fractures: an updated meta-analysis from the National Osteoporosis Foundation
Abstract
Summary The aim was to meta-analyze randomized controlled trials of calcium plus vitamin D supplementation and fracture prevention. Meta-analysis showed a significant 15 % reduced risk of total fractures (summary relative risk estimate [SRRE], 0.85; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 0.73–0.98) and a ...
Associations between VDR Gene Polymorphisms and Osteoporosis Risk and Bone Mineral Density
in Postmenopausal Women: A systematic review and MetaAnalysis
Results on the relationships between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) susceptibility and bone mineral density (BMD) are conficting. The aim of the study is to identify more eligible studies that calculated pooled OR and WMD with 95% CI ...
Associations between ERα/β gene polymorphisms and osteoporosis susceptibility and bone mineral density in postmenopausal women: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract
Background: Many studies have reported associations between estrogen receptor (ER) gene polymorphisms and
postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) risk and bone mineral density (BMD), but the results are controversial. The
aim of the present meta-analysis is to ...
ASSESSMENT OF DIFFERENCES IN NUTRIENTS CONSUMPTION IN WOMEN DIAGNOSED WITH OSTEOPOROSIS AS COMPARED TO A HEALTHY CONTROL GROUP
ABSTRACT
Background. Osteoporosis is a condition that has been much more frequent for women, which is related to menopause and to their lower bone mineral density (BMD). Inappropriate diet is among the development factors of the disease.
Objective. To assess differences in consumption of particular nutrients ...
Vitamin D Deficiency and Metabolism in HIV-Infected and HIV-Uninfected Men in the Multicenter
AIDS Cohort Study
Abstract
We evaluated associations of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25[OH]2D) levels in a cohort of HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected men at risk for infection in the United States. Stored samples collected between 1999 and 2008 were tested for vitamin D metabolites between 2014 and 2015. ...
