Background: Osteoporosis and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are conditions associated with ageing and chronic inflammation; among MetS' components, visceral obesity has been correlated to low bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. However, data on an increased fracture risk in MetS are still contrasting. The trabecular bone score (TBS) is an indicator of bone quality and a potential predictive factor for fractures.

The aim of this study was to define pooled prevalence estimate and correlates of VTE in Assigned Males at Birth (AMAB) trans people undergoing gender affirming hormone therapy.
Methods: A thorough search of MEDLINE, COCHRANE LIBRARY, SCOPUS and WEB OF SCIENCE databases was carried out to identify suitable studies.
Study Design: Meta-analysis OBJECTIVES: Denervation and androgen deficiency, peculiar to individuals with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI), could hinder, to some extent, both prostate growth and activity. To comprehensively assess the relationship between SCI and prostate volume, we carried out a meta-analysis of the available case-control studies.
Methods: A thorough search of MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science was carried out to identify studies comparing prostate volume in men with and without SCI.
Background: Whether and to what extent an association exists between hyperuricemia and erectile dysfunction (ED) has not yet been fully determined.
Objective: To define pooled prevalence estimates and correlates of erectile dysfunction in men with hyperuricemic disorders.
Materials And Methods: A thorough search of Medline, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases was performed.
