“…65 Unadjusted BMD data were not reported for 1 study. 66 Nine additional studies were excluded from this systematic review and meta-analysis because LS, FN, or WB BMD data were not presented; 5 of these studies measured BMD at the calcaneum, 61,[67][68][69][70] 3 measured it at the radius (mid and distal), [71][72][73] and 1 measured it at the proximal phalanx of the third finger. 74 Consequently, the final sample consisted of 20 articles (15 including BMD and 5 including fracture rate data) ( Figure 1).…”

The numbers of vegans and vegetarians have increased in the last decades. However, the impact of these diets on bone health is still under debate. Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis sought to study the impact of vegetarian and vegan diets on bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk. Data Sources: A systematic search was conducted of PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct, covering the period from the respective start date of each database to November 2017. Data Extraction: Two investigators evaluated 275 studies against the inclusion criteria (original studies in humans, written in English or Spanish and including vegetarian or vegan diets and omnivorous diets as factors with BMD values for the whole body, lumbar spine, or femoral neck and/or the number of fractures as the outcome) and exclusion criteria (articles that did not include imaging or studies that included participants who had suffered a fracture before starting the vegetarian or vegan diet). The quality assessment tool for observational cohort and cross-sectional studies was used to assess the quality of the studies. Results: Twenty studies including 37 134 participants met the inclusion criteria. Compared with omnivores, vegetarians and vegans had lower BMD at the femoral neck and lumbar spine and vegans also had higher fracture rates. Conclusions: Vegetarian and vegan diets should be planned to avoid negative consequences on bone health. Systematic Review Registration: PROSPERO registration no. CRD42017055508.

“…Sapthagirivasan et al showed that the bone mass reached its peak value in young Indian men whose age ranges from 26 to 30 years. They also compared the heel BMD with BMI and weight which shows the statistically significant value (p<0.01) [23]. In this study, the body weight and BMI showed a significant difference (p<0.05) with LC-BMD in Indian men, whereas in Nepal-Bhutan population, it showed a significant difference with LC-BMD (p<0.05) and with RC-BMD (p<0.01).…”

Objectives: The main aim of this study was to assess the low bone mass in younger adults using peripheral dual X-ray absorptiometry (pDXA) and also to find the co-relational aspect of Indian, Nepal-Bhutan, and Afghanistan men.Methods: In this study, 70 younger adults aged from 18 to 25 years were incorporated. In every adult, bone mineral density (BMD) of the left forearm (LF-BMD), right forearm (RF-BMD), left calcaneum (LC-BMD), and right calcaneum (RC-BMD) were measured by pDXA. The back-propagation neural network classifier is used in the classification of low bone mass and healthy controls, and the statistical tool was used to find the co-relational aspect of various BMD measurements.Results: The LC-BMD positively correlated (p<0.05) with subject’s body weight and body mass index (BMI) r=0.40 in Indian men. The LC-BMD and RC-BMD were positively correlated (p<0.05 and p<0.01) with BMI (r=0.549 and r=0.63) in Nepal-Bhutan men. In Afghanistan men, LF-BMD and RF-BMD are positively correlated (p<0.05 and p<0.01) with BMI (r=0.49 and r=0.80). The accuracy of the classifier was found to be 94.3% and 97.1% with RF-BMD and RC-BMD in the total population.Conclusion: The result suggested that the forearm and calcaneum BMD measured by pDXA shows statistically high significant correlation with BMI, which can be used for screening purpose, and also it will be helpful in the evaluation of low bone mass in the developing countries.

“…The rate of bone loss depends on race, gender, geographical location and age. Studies have proven that black women possess superior bone quality than Asian counterparts and seldom incur severe bone loss (Sapthagirivasan and Anburajan, 2012). Though the loss of bone quality on ageing is observed in men, the severity is minimal compared to equivalent females.…”

Abstract:The decrease of bone strength on ageing is a globally observed phenomenon among all human beings. The association between oral health and bone health has not been much researched among the Indian population. So, the proposed study was aimed to extract information about mandibular indices from dental panoramic radiographs and to identify its age and gender related changes among the south Indian population. The study involved 279 subjects, which included 103 men (46±11.55 years) and 176 women (47.2±12.49 years). The panoramic radiographs were obtained from a digital orthopantomogram scanner. The subjects were categorised into various decade age sub-groups for both the genders: 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, 61-70 and 71-80 years. The subjects were also further classified into three groups as: Normal, mild and severe based on the erosion of the endosteal margin of mandible cortical bone. The measurement of the Mandibular Cortical Thickness (MCT), Panoramic Mandibular Index (PMI) and assessment of the endosteal margin of the mandibular cortical bone was performed on the radiograph. The ANOVA test revealed a statistically significant difference for the MCT and PMI as (F = 6.98; p<0.001) and (F = 4.49; p<0.01) respectively between subjects of the various decade age sub-groups. The Chi-square tests revealed higher levels of significances (p<0.001) for the variations in the endosteal margin with age. The results of the study conclude that the MCT, PMI and the endosteal margin of mandible are age depended. The decrement of radiomorphometric indices was more prominent in females than males and they exponentially decreased after the sixth decade of age for both the genders. The MCT and PMI decreased by 6.41 and 4.8% respectively for males and by 23.2 and 30.8% respectively for females in the older groups.
