Researchers have long known that prostate cancers that spread, or metastasize, often migrate to bone. That idea led a team at the Department of Urology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, to investigate whether there is a connection between bone characteristics and prostate cancer development and metastasis.
This new research suggests men who develop […]

Falls and fall prevention are an important concern for the elderly and people with osteoporosis, a common chronic disease which causes fragile and weak bones. People with osteoporosis are at increased risk of fracture, even after a minor fall from standing height.
A study recently presented at the World Congress on Osteoporosis 2010 (IOF WCO-ECCEO10) suggests that […]

A recent study at Johns Hopkins reported what is believed to be the first conclusive evidence in men that the long-term ill effects of vitamin D deficiency are associated by lower levels of the key sex hormone estrogen, but not testosterone.
In a national study in 1010 men, researchers say the new findings build on previous […]
