Comparison of performance-based measures among native Japanese, Japanese-Americans in Hawaii and Caucasian women in the United States, ages 65 years and over: a cross-sectional study.

BMC geriatrics

Aoyagi K, Ross PD, Nevitt MC, Davis JW, Wasnich RD, Hayashi T, Takemoto T.
PMID: 11696243
BMC Geriatr. 2001;1:3. doi: 10.1186/1471-2318-1-3.

BACKGROUND: Japanese (both in Japan and Hawaii) have a lower incidence of falls and of hip fracture than North American and European Caucasians, but the reasons for these differences are not clear.SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study. We compared...

Differences in health characteristics between native Japanese and Japanese-Americans.

Journal of cross-cultural gerontology

Fujiwara S, Huang C, Ross PD, Yamada M, Kodama K, Davis JW, Wasnich RD.
PMID: 14617885
J Cross Cult Gerontol. 1999 Sep;14(3):273-87. doi: 10.1023/a:1006627908855.

Health characteristics were compared among 1193 Japanese in Hiroshima, and 2306 Japanese-Americans in Hawaii. Japanese women experienced later menarche, earlier menopause, and a shorter interval between menarche and menopause than Japanese-Americans. Japanese men and women were shorter and lighter...

Maternal pelvic size, measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, predicts infant birthweight.

American journal of human biology : the official journal of the Human Biology Council

Novotny R, Davis J, Wasnich R, Biernacke I, Onaka A.
PMID: 11534046
Am J Hum Biol. 2000 Jul;12(4):552-557. doi: 10.1002/1520-6300(200007/08)12:4<552::AID-AJHB14>3.0.CO;2-3.

Indicators of infant birthweight are important because infant birthweight is related to later health outcomes. This study developed and validated new measures of the pelvis from dual energy absorptiometry (DEXA). Predictors of the new measures of maternal pelvic size...

Perspective on fracture risk and phalangeal bone mineral density.

Journal of clinical densitometry : the official journal of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry

Wasnich RD.
PMID: 15304897
J Clin Densitom. 1998;1(3):259-68. doi: 10.1385/jcd:1:3:259.

Current bone mineral density (BMD) represents the composite, cumulative effect of many past and present risk factors, including both genetic and lifestyle influences. Reduced BMD, increasing age, and the presence of pre-existing fractures independently increase the risk of osteoporotic...

Osteoporosis Current practice and future perspectives.

Trends in endocrinology and metabolism: TEM

Wasnich RD, Ross PD, Davis JW.
PMID: 18411166
Trends Endocrinol Metab. 1991 Mar-Apr;2(2):59-62. doi: 10.1016/1043-2760(91)90041-k.

Initiation of estrogens or other drugs as preventive measures for osteoporosis should be based upon objective estimates of actual, future fracture risk. Bone mass measurements, when considered in the context of age, life expectancy, expected bone loss, and other...
