Maintaining strong bones and flexible joints is crucial for overall health, especially as we age. Bone density naturally declines over time, increasing the risk of fractures, osteoporosis, and reduced ...

A newly discovered receptor switch that boosts bone growth could transform how we treat osteoporosis, by stimulating the body’s own bone-building machinery using a targeted drug and even mechanical ...

While some peer-reviewed research has shown a link between drinking cola and lower bone mineral density, other studies have shown mixed results. The claim is true: Some peer-reviewed research has ...

Researchers have combined injections of a novel hydrogel with systemic osteoporosis drugs in rats, achieving rapid local increases in bone density. The results offer hope for future fracture ...

Research links regular exercise to better bone density. Scientists found that people who were more sedentary were less likely to have good bone density. Doctors generally recommend a specific exercise ...

If you’re someone who’s at risk for developing osteoporosis, you’re probably well-accustomed to receiving regular bone density tests. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA) is a radiologic ...
