High Impact Means High Bone Density for Children
High impact activities like jumping and skipping has been shown to benefit bone health in adolescents. A ten minute school based intervention, provided twice a week for eight months, greatly improved bone and muscle strength in healthy teenagers when compared to regular warmups. Physiotherapist Ben Weeks said the warm-up, which included high intensity jumps and lunges of gradually increasing complexity and repetition, was specifically designed to stimulate skeletal growth. By the end of the study, students worked up to about 300 jumps per session. (Read more about High Impact Means High Bone Density for Children)

HISPANICS AND OSTEOPOROSIS
Hispanics are the nation’s largest minority group, and they are also the fastest growing group, accounting for about half of the growth in the U.S. population since 2000. Thus Hispanic healthcare is an increasing concern that a lot of doctors are focusing their attention onto.
The growth of the Hispanic population has not been accompanied by an improvement in Hispanic healthcare. Of particular concern is the quality of healthcare Hispanic women receive. There has been a steady increase in hip fractures in Hispanic women over the past twenty years. But it’s not only because there are more Hispanic women to suffer a fracture; it’s also because of inadequate health care for Hispanic women before and after menopause.
Celia Greenberg has a Latino heritage. She says her diet rarely contained any milk or other dairy products. “The only milk I drank was the little that was in my coffee. We ate very small quantities of cheeses and no yogurt at all.” (Read more about HISPANICS AND OSTEOPOROSIS)

OSTEOPOROSIS MEDICATIONS
There’s been some confusion lately concerning several popular osteoporosis medications. Whom should they be prescribed to? Women with mild bone loss, or only those with serious cases of osteoporosis?
And can these medications actually cause fractures if used for too long a period of time?
This disease, osteoporosis, is a big problem. Thirty million women suffer from the disease that results from loss of bone density, and can result in a serious, even life-threatening bone fracture. (Read more about OSTEOPOROSIS MEDICATIONS)

VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENTATION
No question, calcium provides a benefit to preventing fractures. But just how much Vitamin D should African American women be taking?
It is estimated that as many as 30% to 40% of older adults with hip fractures are Vitamin D insufficient. So, it’s possible older adults may benefit from supplemental Vitamin D, which helps get calcium into bones to make them strong.
“I’m not the kind of person who takes supplements. I thought what I was eating was enough,” says Beverley Riley. (Read more about VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENTATION)
