FEATURES OF BONE METABOLISM AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON ARTERIAL WALL STIFFNESS IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN WITH CONTROLLED UNCOMPLICATED HYPERTENSION.

The aim of this study was to investigate the features of bone metabolism and their influence on the arterial wall stiffness in postmenopausal women with a controlled uncomplicated arterial hypertension (AH). The study involved 44 women (main group) with the mean age of 69.04±0.

Bone Mineral Density and Risk of Osteoporotic Fractures in Women with Parkinson's Disease.

Osteoporosis and Parkinson's disease (PD) are two important age-related diseases, which have an influence on pain, physical activity, disability, and mortality. The aim of this research was to study the parameters of bone mineral density (BMD), frequency, and 10-year probability of osteoporotic fractures (OFs) in females with Parkinson's disease (PD). We have examined 113 postmenopausal women aged 50-74 years old which were divided into 2 groups (I, control group (CG),  = 53 and II, subjects with PD,  = 60).

Calcium intake in an adult Ukrainian population.

Unlabelled: This is a first large epidemiological study of calcium intake in Ukrainian population. The data from 1518 outpatient subjects aged 20-89 years old showed that the mean level of calcium intake composed 615.6 mg/day (735.

Bone Mineral Density, TBS, and Body Composition Indexes in Ukrainian Men with Parkinson's Disease.

Introduction: Current research studies demonstrate the changes of bone mineral density (BMD) in subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD); however, data about bone quality and body composition (BC) indexes are insufficient. The aim of the study was to assess the parameters of BMD, ВС, and trabecular bone score (TBS) in PD males.

Materials And Methods: We performed a cross-sectional case-control research design and examined 76 males aged 50-77 years old, who were divided into two groups: first group including men without PD (=38) and the second group including subjects with PD (=38).
