4.Donors’ Calcium Level and Bone Density after Frequent and Regular Plateletpheresis Blood Donation
Malaysian Journal of Medicine and Health Sciences 2018;14(Supplement 1):7-10
Introduction: Citrate is commonly used as an anti¬coagulant during plateletpheresis procedure. The calcium chelating property of citrate may cause hypocalcaemia when the anticoagulated blood are returned to the donor’s circulation after selective removal of platelet. This study aims at investigating how regular plateletpheresis affects calcium level and bone density in the donors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among healthy donors at National Blood Centre, Kuala Lumpur, from 15th January till 31st March 2016. Donors were divided into two groups based on the frequency of plateletpheresis donation: low frequency group - donors who had donated less than 20 times, high frequency group - donors who had donated more than 50 times. Dual emission X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan was performed to assess bone density. Pre-donation blood sampling was taken for albumin level. Calcium and magnesium levels were measured before and after donation. Results: Fifty donors participated in this study where the median age of participants was 35.0 years for low frequency and 45.2 years for high frequency group. There was no significant difference in the corrected calcium for both groups before and after plateletpheresis. However, the magnesium levels were significantly reduced in both arms (P<0.05). The albumin level and DEXA scan showed no significant differences between the groups. Conclusion: This study did not show any significant difference in calcium levels, albumin and bone density; but donors’ magnesium levels were reduced in low and high frequency donors after plateletpheresis.

Background:
Post-menopausal women experiences changes in estrogen levels affecting body metabolism, which may lead to
weight gain and obesity. Moreover, one of the most prevalent diseases among this group is osteoporosis.
However, the relationship between fat mass and its protective property remains unclear. This study assesses the
correlation of fat mass with bone mineral density (BM) and 10-year FRAX based fracture probability among
Filipino women.
Methods:
A cross-sectional review of records of post-menopausal Filipino women who underwent whole body bone
mineral densitometry scans via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) between January 1, 2015, and
December 31, 2018 in the Radioisotope Laboratory of the Philippine General Hospital was done. Pearson
correlation and simple linear regression analyses were done to determine the correlation between the two
outcomes – BMD and 10-year FRAX based fracture probability.
Results:
A total of 258 postmenopausal women were included in the analysis. There was a weak positive correlation of
fat mass with BMD of L1-L4 vertebrae (R-score of 0.318), BMD of femoral neck (R-score of 0.3937) and hips
(R - score of 0.3031). The 10-year FRAX based fracture probability for both hip and osteoporotic had very weak
and weak negative correlation, respectively (R-score of - 0.06752 and - 0.29017).
Conclusion
Despite having varying available, data on the protective effects of fat mass on fracture protection, this study
showed that fat mass has a poor correlation with BMD and reduction in FRAX probability.

6.To evaluate the density on the upper part of femurs on elders by unigamma-plus
Journal of Practical Medicine 2005;505(3):35-37
A study on 90 people ( 62 male and 30 female) who had history of bone fracture due to serious trauma was conducted in Friendship Hospital. The result showed that: the age and BMI is equivalent between two groups. The bone mineral density in males is higher than that in females, the bone mineral density is highest on neck of femur and lowest on trochiter. The rate of osteomalacia on the upper part of femur was 31.5%. The density of the neck of femur in male group is higher than female ones. Weight, BMI and sport playing are factors related to crease bone density. Age, smoking and alcohol drinking are factors that lessen the bone density. For the elders, it is nesesay to measure the bone density in order to have preventive methods and appropriate treatment, avoid bone facture later.

8.Effects of calcium supplemented biscuits on bone density
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2002;12(3):79-85
2 group of 45 women each, 60-70 years of age, were recruited for this study during 6 months. All women did morning physical exercise regularly. The first group received a daily suplementation of 50g biscuits cotaining 400mg calcium gluconate and the second group received the same amount of biscuits without calcium addition. The bone mineral density was measured at baseline and after 6 months. The results: in the calcium group, there was a significant increase of bone mineral density compared to the control group. The mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressures found decreased in the calcium group and increased in the control group.
