associated with anorexia and bulimia — heart problems, reduced bone
mineral density, gastrointestinal problems, breakdowns in thyroid or liver function — are just as likely to occur in malnourished teens labeled with ED - NOS.

associated with beneficial effects on bone
mineral density, muscle function, muscle mass or falls, according to the results of a randomized clinical trial published online by JAMA Internal Medicine.
Scientists have already identified many genetic factors
associated with bone
mineral density.
One variant was also
associated with bone
mineral density in the thigh bone at the hip (the «neck» of the femur).
The researchers also found several other variants
associated with bone
mineral density in specific areas, including 3 for forearm, 14 for femoral neck, and 19 for lumbar spine.
The team identified variants in a region near the engrailed homeobox ‐ 1 gene (EN1) that were
associated with bone
mineral density in the lumbar area of the spine.
Sequence variants in the CLDN14 gene

For this reason, DHEA helps build new bone tissue and has been shown to significantly improve bone
mineral density in older adults.87, 88, 89 Low levels are
associated with increased risk of fracture and osteoporosis.90

mineral density in older adults.757778 Low levels are
associated with increased risk of fracture and osteoporosis.79
High coffee consumption was
associated with a small reduction in bone
mineral density but this did not translate into an increased risk of fracture9.
Most interest has this far focused on calcium and vitamin D. Much less interest has been paid to other important nutrients such as protein, and especially to
minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and vitamins such as C and K. Recent studies suggests that increased intake of plant fibers, fruits and vegetables is
associated with an increased bone
mineral density also in elderly subjects, both women and men [22, 23].

associated with low bone
mineral density, high bone turnover, and an increased risk of fractures.

associated with lower bone
mineral density in healthy pre - and postmenopausal women: evidence for a link between systemic inflammation and osteoporosis.

associated with loss of bone
mineral density.

associated with lower rates of disease, bone
mineral density loss and inflammation.
But heavy alcohol use is
associated with poorer bone
mineral density and a greater risk of falling (and therefore a greater risk of breaking a bone).
Sufficient intake of vitamin K is
associated with decreased risk of osteoporosis, since this vitamin is involved with maintenance of bone
mineral density and also with shaping of bone structure (through gamma - carboxylation).
In multiple studies involving aging men, low testosterone levels are
associated with lower skeletal muscle mass, muscle strength, physical function, bone
mineral density and higher risk of fractures and death.
A recent study (2) showed that the current use of multivitamins and
minerals in premenopausal women was
associated with a significant 5.3 % higher mean mammographic breast
density (after adjustment for potential confounders), which is strongly and positively related to breast cancer risk.
