Our automated algorithm that assess abdominal aortic calcification, including severity, from dxa-derived lateral spine images is associated with higher hazards for a fall (35%) and fracture (42%). Dr Jack Dalla Via Cassandra Smith asbmr.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jb…

For older women, higher dietary vitamin K1 intake is associated w lower long-term fracture risk. A regular daily vitamin K1 intake of ~1-2 serves of green leafy vegetables 75-150g may be important for lowering fracture risk. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36169025/ #WorldOsteoporosisDay

Exciting PhD opportunity with our team to better understand how cardiometabolic diseases develop/progress, a focus on how to prevent progression of blood vessel disease & develop world-first disease screening & behavior change programs. DM Cassandra Smith or Marc Sim for details!

In our latest study in JBMR, we demonstrate that frailty, assessed using the frailty index, is a major risk factor for incident hospitalised and self-reported falls and fracture in community-dwelling older women.

Higher intakes of foods rich in vitamin K1 (green leafy vegetables and plant oils) may help lower the risk of aortic stenosis and subsequent complications Frederik Dalgaard Marc Sim @LCBlekkenhorst @bondonnoN ahajrnls.org/41UXoIi
