Male osteoporosis: the impact of lifestyle, from nutrition to physical activity.

Male osteoporosis is an increasing worldwide pathological condition, characterized by an increased risk of fragility fractures, that is underestimated, underdiagnosed and undertreated. Prevention and treatment play a pivotal role in reducing fractures, and it is important to remember that therapeutic interventions include balanced nutrition and physical activity. Pharmacological treatments are the main and most effective tool to achieve numerous and decisive benefits in this population.

Academic achievement and healthy lifestyle habits in primary school children: an interventional study.

Purposes: First, to examine the relationship between primary school children's academic achievement and healthy lifestyle habits. Second, to evaluate the effectiveness of two different 5-month physical education interventions (traditional physical education vs. coordinative physical education) on children's academic achievement.

Nutrition, Vitamin D, and Calcium in Elderly Patients before and after a Hip Fracture and Their Impact on the Musculoskeletal System: A Narrative Review.

Hip fractures are a major health issue considerably impacting patients' quality of life and well-being. This is particularly evident in elderly subjects, in which the decline in bone and muscle mass coexists and predisposes individuals to fall and fracture. Among interventions to be implemented in hip fractured patients, the assessment and management of nutritional status is pivotal, particularly in subjects older than 65.

Bisphenol-A in Drinking Water Accelerates Mammary Cancerogenesis and Favors an Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment in BALB-T Mice.

Bisphenol-A (BPA), a synthetic compound ubiquitously present in the environment, can act as an endocrine disruptor by binding to both canonical and non-canonical estrogen receptors (ERs). Exposure to BPA has been linked to various cancers, in particular, those arising in hormone-targeted tissues such as the breast. In this study, we evaluated the effect of BPA intake through drinking water on ErbB2/-driven cancerogenesis in BALB-T mice, transgenic for a mutated ErbB2/ receptor gene, which reproducibly develop carcinomas in all mammary glands.
