With the increase in the number of ageing population, a number of comorbidities have been seen to be on a rise. Increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) with underlying lifestyle related disorders like hypertension and diabetes mellitus has become a major challenge. CKD– mineral bone disorder (MBD) develops in association with secondary hyperparathyroidism due […]

Bone health maintenance is a dynamic mechanism where in the bone mass is achieved by an equilibrium of bone formation and bone resorption. In the early stages of life when the bone formation is more than the bone resorption, the body achieves its peak bone mass1. Whereas, as an individual crosses his adolescent stage of […]

Osteoporosis is defined as “a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and micro-architectural deterioration with consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture.”1 Osteoporosis is not a life-threatening disorder but still affects many people by causing pain, disability, and diminished quality of life.2 Degrees of skeletal response to boron are modified by other nutritional […]

Zinc, a nutritional trace element, is essential for the growth of human and animals.1 Zinc is required for the growth, development, and maintenance of healthy bones. Bone growth retardation is a common finding in various conditions associated with zinc deficiency.2 In Iranian schoolboys at year 1961, zinc supplementation was first found to restore both skeletal growth and […]

Osteoporosis is a multifactorial disease characterized by loss of bone mass due to a marked bone microarchitecture deterioration.1 Physiologically, bone is constantly remodeled by concerted and coordinated interactions between osteoclasts, the cells primarily involved in bone resorption, and osteoblasts, which ensure bone formation and mineralization. Osteoporosis results from an imbalance between bone deposition and resorption.1 About […]

The skeletal disease of bone thinning and compromised bone strength, osteoporosis, continues to be a major public health issue as the population ages. This disease is characterized by bone fragility and an increased susceptibility to fractures, especially of the spine and hip, although any bone can be affected. Risk for osteoporosis has been reported in […]

Osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are age-related diseases. Traditionally, these two conditions were considered unrelated and their coexistence was attributed to independent age-related processes. However, an increasing body of biological and epidemiological evidence has provided support for a link between the two conditions that cannot be explained by age alone. Shared risk factors, such as […]
