Introduction: Prior studies have focused only on the temporal component of one-leg standing, no reports have examined the relationship between the qualitative components of one-leg standing and femoral BMD. Thus, this study investigated whether quality (i.e.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the incidence rate of clinical vertebral fractures in elderly residents (65+) of Kure city, finding an overall rate of 15.58 per 1,000, with higher rates in females (21.17) compared to males (7.29).
- It used data from the National Health Insurance and Senior Elderly Care System in 2015, focusing on those diagnosed with vertebral fractures requiring treatment or hospitalization.
- The results showed vertebral fractures were more common than hip fractures (9.17 per 1,000), with both types increasing with age, although the rate slightly decreased for vertebral fractures in older females.
Introduction: Zoledronic acid infusion is used to treat osteoporosis but patients, especially Japanese patients, often experience acute-phase reactions (APRs). In this multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group study, we examined the efficacy of the most commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug loxoprofen in Japan in reducing the incidence rate of zoledronic acid-induced APRs and body temperature, and investigated risk/protective factors for APRs in this population.
Materials And Methods: Patients aged ≥ 60 years with primary osteoporosis (n = 368) were allocated randomly to zoledronic acid plus loxoprofen (ZOL + LOX) or zoledronic acid alone (ZOL).
