How does the study of inherited characters help us understand the risk of disease.
Bone Mineral Density (BMD) assesses bone strength and fracture risk, crucial for diagnosing osteoporosis. Body composition evaluates lean and fat mass, impacting health. Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) and Bone Material Strength Index (BMSi) predict fracture risk. Sagittal alignment and Cobb’s angle assess spinal health. Muscle strength and jumping force evaluate physical function.
Why do bones break.
Translational Genomics enhances human health by applying genetic research to clinical practice, improving therapies, refining risk assessments, and aiding decision-making. In musculoskeletal health, our group studies biomarkers to prevent or delay conditions like osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and frailty, promoting healthy aging and sustainable health trajectories.
