Bone Abstracts

The objective of this investigation was to compare bone mineral density (BMD) attained from dual-energy X-ray DXA with speed of sound (SOS) data attained from a Beam-Med Omnisense multisite quantitative ultrasound (mQUS) in a large sample of randomly-selected community-based individuals from the Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study (CaMOS). A total of 1177 men and 2949 women were assessed with mQUS at the distal radius, tibia, and phalanx sites as part of the Canadian Multi...

This investigation sought to assess the relationship between physical activity (PA) and estimated bone stiffness as assessed by multisite quantitative ultrasound (mQUS) in a large cohort. A total of 1177 men and 2949 women were assessed with mQUS (Beam-Med Omnisense quantitative ultrasound; Isreal) at the distal radius, tibia, and phalanx sites as part of the Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study (clinical sites included Saskatoon, Calgary, Hamilton, Quebec City, Halifax and...

This investigation sought to assess the relationship between vitamin D and calcium intake and estimated bone stiffness as assessed by multisite quantitative ultrasound (mQUS) in a large cohort. A total of 1177 men and 2949 women were assessed with mQUS (Beam-Med Omnisense quantitative ultrasound; Isreal) at the distal radius, tibia, and phalanx sites as part of the Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study (clinical sites included Saskatoon, Calgary, Hamilton, Quebec City, Halif...
