Nov. 30 (HealthDay News) Not only does extra weight around the middle increase a woman’s risk of heart disease and diabetes, new research suggests it also ups the risk of developing osteoporosis. In a study of 50 pre-menopausal women, Harvard researchers found that women with more fat around the abdomen were more likely to have lower bone mineral density, which can eventually lead to osteoporosis . . . “All fat isn’t the same. Tummy fat has a damaging effect on bone health,” said the study’s lead author, Dr. Miriam Bredella, a radiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and an assistant professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School in Boston. Bredella presented the findings Tuesday at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America in Chicago. As many as 10 million Americans, most of them women, have osteoporosis, according to the U.S. National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS). Another 34 million Americans have low bone mass, putting them at risk of developing osteoporosis. What does this have to do with potatoes? Maybe they help reduce tummy fat.
Medpage Today: In an analysis involving some 80,000 patients tracked for more than seven years on average, individuals diagnosed with esophageal cancer of were 1.93 times as likely to have received at least 10 prescriptions for oral bisphosphonates compared with controls not having cancer, reported Dr. Jane Green of the University of Oxford in England and colleagues online in BMJ.. . The FDA has collected a total of 68 case reports of esophageal cancer in patients taking bisphosphonates — half in the United States and the rest in Europe and Japan — but has not ordered label warnings. Common oral bisphosphonates: etidronate (Didronel), pamidronate (Aredia), alendronate (Fosamax), risedronate (Actonel), zoledronate (Zometa or Reclast), ibandronate (Boniva) The bisphosphonates are powerful, causing dramatic changes in the bone physiology. In women or men whose bone density T-score is lower than -2.5, or who already have a vertebral fracture, these medicines are prescribed to “reduce the incidence of fractures and improve the quality of life.”
