Relationship between visceral adipose tissue and bone mineral density in Australian baby boomers
Adiposity has a complex relationship with bone health. In 4865 Australian baby boomers (2642 females) aged 45–70 years, we found that higher visceral adipose tissue mass is associated with reduced bone density...

RUNX1-activated upregulation of lncRNA RNCR3 promotes cell proliferation, invasion, and suppresses apoptosis in colorectal cancer via miR-1301-3p/AKT1 axis in vitro and in vivo
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have participated in progression of colorectal cancer. This study aims to study the role of RUNX1/RNCR3/miR-1301-3p/AKT1 axis in colorectal cancer.

Associations between circulating bone-derived hormones lipocalin 2, osteocalcin, and glucose metabolism in acromegaly
The aim was to examine changes in the bone-derived hormone lipocalin 2 (LCN2) levels in patients with active acromegaly and to investigate the potential roles of LCN2 and osteocalcin in glucose metabolism.

Effects of calcium supplementation on circulating osteocalcin and glycated haemoglobin in older women
One year of calcium supplementation in older women led to modest reductions in total osteocalcin and undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC), with no changes in muscle or fat mass, or glycated haemoglobin. Future...

Dietary protein and bone health across the life-course: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis over 40 years
We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of published papers assessing dietary protein and bone health. We found little benefit of increasing protein intake for bone health in healthy adults but no i...

Utility of four sarcopenia criteria for the prediction of falls-related hospitalization in older Australian women
Numerous sarcopenia definitions are not associated with increased falls-related hospitalization risk over 5 years to 9.5 years in older community-dwelling Australian women. Measures of muscle strength and phys...

Discordance between fat mass index and body mass index is associated with reduced bone mineral density in women but not in men: the Busselton Healthy Ageing Study
The obesity-BMD relationship is complex. In 3045 middle-aged adults, we found that in women (but not men) with discordant fat mass index (FMI)/BMI categories, higher body fat for BMI was associated with lower ...

Gender differences in the relationships between lean body mass, fat mass and peak bone mass in young adults
The relationships between fat mass and bone mass in young adults are unclear. In 1,183 young Australians, lean body mass had a strong positive relationship with total body bone mass in both genders. Fat mass w...
