Filter by:Certain clinical syndromes eg frailty, sarcopenia, dementia, depression, cognitive impairment, vision impairment and falls in older adults carry an increased risk for poor health outcomes and if identified early, can be prevented, delayed or reversible. There is evidence to suggest that exercise and dietary intervention can help delay or prevent sarcopenia, frailty and dementia. The current hypothesis is older adults do not consume enough protein in their diet. Local delicacies enhanced with protein content, in addition to physical activity will improve muscle strength, function, perceived health status and possibly may even reverse frailty and sarcopenia. Additionally, it is hypothesized that combination of multi component group exercise activities and high protein nutrition will be effective in improving participants' social, mental and physical status.
This project is the first egg feeding randomized controlled trial (RCT) in children. The goal of this RCT is to determine if eating formulated whole egg products for 9 months improves bone health and cognitive function in children ages 9-13 years more than children consuming products made of milk powder or gelatin.
Cancer treatment-induced bone loss and the subsequent risk of fractures in both men and women impacts not just survivors' quality of life, but is also a significant burden on national health care. Clinical studies have reported that moderate-intensity resistance exercises prevent a decline in bone health in female cancer survivors, and that strength training may reduce complications associated with cancer such as fatigue, muscle wasting, and bone loss. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of women who have had cancer, engage in and adhere to a strength training exercise routine. The investigators have developed an internet-based application, Thrivors, that guides cancer survivors through exercise routines with light-to-moderate strength training in the home setting, and connects them to survivorship resources. In this Phase I proposal, the investigators will develop and deploy an enhanced version, Thrivors+BH, that disseminates resistance training exercises specifically impacting bone health (BH), integrated with video-based interactive feedback and tracking of adherence to exercise routines. The goal is to validate Thrivors+BH as a novel tool to bridge the gaps between cancer survivorship, physical activity, value-based care and health care organizations (providers and payers), to positively impact bone health in breast cancer survivors.
There is an association between adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and low bone mass which has been reported to be a significant prognostic factor for curve progression. Given that dietary calcium (Ca) intake and serum Vit-D levels were also low in AIS, we therefore propose a randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial to evaluate if daily [500mg Ca + 800 IU Vit-D] can improve bone health and prevent curve progression in AIS. Immature AIS girls with Cobb angle 10-20 degrees will be randomized either to the Treatment or Placebo group with 3-year of treatment. The main outcome measures for evaluation for those who have completed the 3-year treatment and have reached skeletal maturity at the end of 3-year treatment include: (1) percentage of patients with increase in Cobb angleā„6 degrees and (2) percentage of patients who require bracing. Bone measurements using advanced image acquisition technology(HR-pQCT) to assess bone health will also be evaluated.
Background: Bone fragility is a complication of type 2 diabetes. Diabetes treatments may ameliorate or deteriorate bone fragility in this population. Bariatric surgery is gaining in popularity in people with type 2 diabetes and may impact bone health. Objectives: To evaluate the impact of the most popular bariatric procedure worldwide (sleeve gastrectomy (SG)) on vBMD by QCT in patients with type 2 diabetes; Secondary aims: (1) to identify the determinants of vBMD after bariatric surgery in patients with type 2 diabetes; (2) to compare vBMD and its potential determinants after bariatric surgery with obese controls without diabetes as well as with controls without obesity and normoglycemia.
To investigate associations between sedentary and active behaviour with bone health and functional ability, and to associate mechanical loading at the lumbar spine and hip in sedentary and active individuals with bone mineral density.
The primary objective of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is to determine the efficacy and effectiveness of Ca and vitamin D supplementation provided daily throughout Marine Corps recruit training on maintenance of PTH and indices of bone strength in Marine Corps recruits. The investigators hypothesize that Ca+D will prevent elevations in PTH and result in greater increases in indices of bone strength compared to placebo.
This study examined the effects of 8 months of Yoga training on bone density and bone turnover markers in premenopausal women, ages 35-50 years. The style of Yoga used was power Yoga that involved postures with a jumping component. The investigators hypothesized that the Yoga intervention would result in beneficial improvements in bone turnover markers, by increasing the bone formation marker and decreasing the bone resorption marker.
The VITamin D and OmegA-3 TriaL (VITAL; NCT 01169259) is a randomized clinical trial in 25,871 U.S. men and women investigating whether taking daily dietary supplements of vitamin D3 (2000 IU) or fish oil (1 gram of omega-3 fatty acids) reduces the risk of developing cancer, heart disease, and stroke in people who do not have a prior history of these illnesses. This ancillary study is being conducted among a sub-cohort of 771 participants in VITAL and will test the efficacy and safety of high-dose vitamin D supplementation vs. placebo on skeletal health and body composition.
The effects of two vitamin K-forms on carboxylation of the vitamin K-dependent proteins osteocalcin and matrix-gla protein will be compared after supplementing these vitamins in a nutritional dose range. The investigators hypothesized that MK-7 is more effective than K1 at a dose comparable to the RDA of vitamin K.
