Changes in spinal bone density, back muscle size, and visceral adipose tissue and their interaction following a multi-component exercise program in older men: secondary analysis of an 18-month randomized controlled trial
In middle-aged and older men, an 18-month multi-component exercise program improved spinal trabecular BMD, paraspinal, and psoas muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) but not visceral adipose tissue (VAT). However...

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...

Association of sitting time and breaks in sitting with muscle mass, strength, function, and inflammation in community-dwelling older adults
The mechanisms through which excessive sitting time impacts health are important to understand. This study found that each hour of sitting per day was not associated with physical function, although associatio...

The effect of exercise on bone mineral density in adult cancer survivors: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Certain cancer treatments are associated with bone loss and increased fracture risk. Weight-bearing impact exercise, resistance training or the combination, are recommended to preserve or improve bone mineral ...

Associations between sedentary behaviour and body composition, muscle function and sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults
While previous studies have reported detrimental associations of sedentary behaviours with cardiometabolic disorders and mortality, in this study, we report that higher levels of sitting time were associated w...

Effects of vitamin D supplementation on neuroplasticity in older adults: a double-blinded, placebo-controlled randomised trial
Vitamin D can improve muscle function and reduce falls, but whether it can strengthen neural connections within the brain and nervous system is not known. This 10-week randomised controlled trial indicates tha...

The calcium scare—what would Austin Bradford Hill have thought?
Detailed consideration of the suggested association between calcium supplementation and heart attacks has revealed weakness in the evidence which make the hypothesis highly implausible.

Association between hyperglycaemia and fracture risk in non-diabetic middle-aged and older Australians: a national, population-based prospective study (AusDiab)
The association between pre-diabetes and fracture risk remains unclear. In this large cohort of middle-aged and older Australian men and women without diabetes, elevated 2-h plasma glucose and pre-diabetes wer...

Effects of a multi-component exercise program and calcium–vitamin-D3-fortified milk on bone mineral density in older men: a randomised controlled trial
We examined the independent and combined effects of a multi-component exercise program and calcium–vitamin-D3-fortified milk on bone mineral density (BMD) in older men. Exercise resulted in a 1.8% net gain in fem...

Interaction between playing golf and HRT on vertebral bone properties in post-menopausal women measured by QCT
We investigated the effect of playing regular golf and HRT on lumbar and thoracic vertebral bone parameters (measured by QCT) in 72 post-menopausal women. The main finding of this study was that there was posi...

Lifetime sport and leisure activity participation is associated with greater bone size, quality and strength in older men
It remains uncertain whether long-term participation in regular weight-bearing exercise confers an advantage to bone structure and strength in old age. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship...
