    • Adding marrow adiposity and cortical porosity to femoral neck areal bone mineral density improves the discrimination of women with nonvertebral fractures from controls 

      Zebaze, Roger; Osima, Marit; Bui, Minh; Lukic, Marko; Wang, Xiaofang; Ghasem-Zadeh, Ali; Eriksen, Erik Fink; Vais, Angela; Shore-Lorenti, Catherine; Ebeling, Peter R.; Seeman, Ego; Bjørnerem, Åshild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-18)
      Advancing age is accompanied by a reduction in bone formation and remodeling imbalance, which produces microstructural deterioration. This may be partly caused by a diversion of mesenchymal cells towards adipocytes rather than osteoblast lineage cells. We hypothesized that microstructural deterioration would be associated with an increased marrow adiposity, and each of these traits would be independently ...

      <i>Background</i> - Even though in situ breast cancer (BCIS) accounts for a large proportion of the breast cancers diagnosed, few studies have investigated potential risk factors for BCIS. Their results suggest that some established risk factors for invasive breast cancer have a similar impact on BCIS risk, but large population-based studies on lifestyle factors and BCIS risk are lacking. Thus, ...
