Whole body bone mineral density

1. Blueberry increases whole body bone mineral density in humans (small randomized trials).

   “Small randomized trials suggested modest benefits of blackcurrant and blueberry on whole-body BMD, bone turnover markers, and calcium retention”

1. Combined aerobic and resistance training improves whole body bone mineral density in humans (SUCRA 77.6%).

   “Based on the surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA), MBT ranked highest for LSBMD (75.9%), CT for WBBMD (77.6%), and MBT for THBMD (60.7%)”

1. Fat mass is linked with lower whole body bone mineral density in humans (β = -0.39 (95% CI -0.58, -0.20)).

   “Fat mass by contrast showed an inverse association only with Z-BMDWB, [-0.39 (-0.58, -0.20)].”

1. Magnesium is associated with whole body bone mineral density in humans (0.04 g/cm2 higher in white women and 0.02 g/cm2 higher in white men, highest vs lowest quintile).

   “In white, but not black, men and women, magnesium intake was positively associated with BMD of the whole body”
