Bone quality: an empty term.
TL;DR: The term “bone quality” was defined as: “The sum total of characteristics of the bone that influence the bone's resistance to fracture” at a recent National Institutes of Health conference on bone quality.

Abstract: Although the concept of “bone quality” is at least 15 years old [1], the term has recently sparked much discussion and debate among clinicians and clinical researchers [2–5]. At a recent National Institutes of Health conference on bone quality, the term was defined as: “The sum total of characteristics of the bone that influence the bone's resistance to fracture” [6].

Bone micro-architecture and determinants of strength in the radius and tibia: age-related changes in a population-based study of normal adults measured with high-resolution pQCT
Nichola Dalzell,Stephen Kaptoge,N Morris,A Berthier,B Koller,L Braak,van B Bert Rietbergen,Jonathan Reeve +7 more
TL;DR: These data show contrasts in the effects of sex on the micro-architecture and strength of upper and lower limb bones with ageing, with implications for the excess risks of wrist and hip fractures in women.

Cortical Thickness Mapping to Identify Focal Osteoporosis in Patients with Hip Fracture
Kenneth E. S. Poole,Graham M. Treece,PM Mayhew,Jan Vaculik,Pavel Dungl,Martin Horák,J.J. Štěpán,Andrew H. Gee +7 more
TL;DR: Analysis of ordinary clinical CT scans using a novel cortical thickness mapping technique discovered patches of markedly thinner bone at fracture-prone regions in the femurs of women with acute hip fracture compared with controls, finding the precise sites of focal osteoporosis are overlooked by current 2D bone densitometry methods.
Overdiagnosis of bone fragility in the quest to prevent hip fracture

TL;DR: Despite widespread endorsement, it is argued that evidence for stratifying risk of fracture and subsequent drug therapy to prevent hip fracture is insufficient to warrant the current approach.
Defining Sarcopenia in Terms of Risk of Physical Limitations: A 5‐Year Follow‐Up Study of 3,153 Chinese Men and Women
TL;DR: To examine the definition of sarcopenia in Chinese subjects by relating the value of appendicular skeletal muscle mass divided by height squared to physical functional outcomes after 4 years.

Low Bone Strength Is a Manifestation of Phenylketonuria in Mice and Is Attenuated by a Glycomacropeptide Diet
TL;DR: Skeletal fragility, as reflected in brittle and weak femora, is an inherent feature of PKU and this PKU bone phenotype is attenuated by a GMP diet compared with an AA diet.

Endurance running and the evolution of homo
TL;DR: Judged by several criteria, humans perform remarkably well at endurance running, thanks to a diverse array of features, many of which leave traces in the skeleton.
Incidence of clinically diagnosed vertebral fractures: a population-based study in Rochester, Minnesota, 1985-1989.
TL;DR: Investigation of vertebral fractures in Rochester, Minnesota found that fractures following moderate trauma were higher in women than in men and rose steeply with age in both genders, while fractures following severe trauma were more frequent in men, and their incidence increased less with age.

Bone's mechanostat: A 2003 update
TL;DR: The mechanostat hypothesis predicts 32 things that occur, including the gross anatomical bone abnormalities in osteogenesis imperfecta; it distinguishes postnatal situations from baseline conditions at birth, and it provides functional definitions of mechanical bone competence, bone quality, osteopenias, and osteoporoses.
