Up-regulation of plasma miRNA-21 and miRNA-422a in postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Background: Many researchers focused on diverse miRNAs in the progression of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. This study aimed to evaluate the association between plasma miRNA-21-5p and miRNA-422a with osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

Methods: This cross-sectional comparative study was performed on 126 randomly selected postmenopausal women aged 50-65, including 65 osteoporotic and 61 normal-bone mineral density (BMD) women.

Dietary acid load is associated with primary osteoporosis in postmenopausal women aged 50-65 years: A cross-sectional study.

This study aimed to investigate the association between dietary acid load (DAL) and primary osteoporosis. This was a cross-sectional study. Among 850 randomly selected postmenopausal women aged 50-65 years, 232 women consisted of 124 women with normal bone mineral density (BMD) and 108 with primary osteoporosis were selected after examining the eligibility criteria.

Positive relation between dietary inflammatory index and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

Previous studies have shown that some dietary components may be implicated in the aetiology of postmenopausal osteoporosis. We examined the relationship between Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Eight hundred and fifty postmenopausal women aged 50-65 years were randomly selected from 87 health care centers.
