102.   Estrogen replacement therapy significantly improved bone density in frail, elderly women, according to a study that suggests beginning the treatment even late in life may be beneficial.

103.   Ghrelin, discovered about two years ago, has a role in promoting growth, from making children taller to building bone density.

104.   Here, the bone density is reduced due to the reduction of calcium in the bone matrix, causing it to become thinner and more brittle.

105.   Her training has improved her health in a number of ways, she said, including increasing her bone density and making her more resistant to winter colds.

109.   Instead, he said, bone density may act as a predictor that would alert patients and clinicians to a higher level of risk of the disease.

110.   Men who are losing bone density to medications or other health concerns are encouraged to increase their intake of calcium to help keep the bone loss in check.
