Trabecular bone score and bone turnover markers in men with DISH: Data from the Camargo Cohort study.

Objective: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) has been associated with an increased risk of vertebral fracture. To date, no studies have investigated the relationship between DISH and bone microstructure assessed by the trabecular bone score (TBS).

Methods: Cross-sectional study, nested in a prospective population-based cohort.

Relationship between diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, abdominal aortic calcification and associated metabolic disorders: Data from the Camargo Cohort.

Background And Objective: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) are related to an increased cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study was to analyse a possible relationship between both entities and also the association between metabolic disorders and DISH.

[Health-Related Quality of Life as an Explanatory Variable of Primary Care Consultations: sex Differences].

Background: It is well known the inverse relationship between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and the use of consultations. However, most studies deal sex as a confounding variable rather than to explicitly investigate sex differences. The study aims to know the influence of HRQoL of the elderly on the use of Primary Care consultations in a sex analysis.
