Abstract:
Osteoporosis is emerging as an important public health problem at an enormous cost to the National Health Service. This thesis observes the effects of certain states of hypo-oestrogenism, seen naturally during breast feeding and after the menopause, and the pathological states seen in hyperprolactinaemia and hypogonadotrophic amenorrhoea. It also observes the drug-induced situation resulting from the use of the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogue, goserelin. Bone density was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). This is very acceptable to subjects since the radiation dos

Abstract:
Bone mineral density (BMD) is a highly heritable trait, indicating that genetic elements are partly responsible for variation in osteoporosis risk. To further understand the genetic variation underlying osteoporosis, I performed genome-wide association (GWA) studies using designs that have largely not been performed in osteoporosis literature to date. Three strategies were used: i) a selected sample of postmenopausal women with high (z ~ 1.5, n = 1,055) or low (z≥1.5, n = 900) hip BMD [as measured by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)] were used for GWA, followed by replication in an unsel

Abstract:
Osteoporosis is a painful condition characterised by a reduced bone mineralisation resulting in an increased fracture risk. A precise measurement of skeletal mineral is important for early diagnosis and for monitoring the response to treatment. This thesis presents the design and evaluation of a specialised scanner capable of measuring trabecular bone in the radius. The anatomy and physiology of bone and the changes related to ageing and bone disease are reviewed in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 decribes and compares the various non-invasive methods of bone measurement developed in the last 25 years. T
