Vitamin D requirements during pregnancyBonny Specker
Ethel Austin Martin Program in Human Nutrition, South Dakota State University, Brookings, SD 57007
Am J Clin Nutr 80:1740S-7S. 2004..Results concerning benefits for fetal growth and bone development are inconclusive. There is no evidence of a benefit of supplementation during pregnancy above amounts routinely required to prevent vitamin D deficiency...
High bone density in young Hutterite childrenChristine L Wey
EA Martin Program in Human Nutrition, South Dakota State University, Brookings, SD 57007, USA
Bone 44:454-60. 2009..We speculate that high activity levels during the rapid growth phase leads to increased bone turnover and bone size; following bone consolidation later in young adulthood this will result in greater bone size and aBMD...

High parity is associated with increased bone size and strengthBonny Specker
Ethel Austin Martin Program in Human Nutrition, South Dakota State University, EAM Bldg, Box 2204, Brookings, SD 57007, USA
Osteoporos Int 16:1969-74. 2005..The greater femoral neck size, without higher BMD, may explain the reduced hip fracture risk among women with high parity previously reported in some studies...

Med Sport Sci 51:50-63. 2007..g. via loading) on bone mass and structural properties, whereas nutritional factors appear to have an indirect effect (e.g. via hormonal factors) on bone mass...
Walking age does not explain term versus preterm difference in bone geometryHaifa Abou Samra
EA Martin Program in Human Nutrition, South Dakota State University, Brookings, SD 57007, USA

Nutrition influences bone development from infancy through toddler yearsBonny Specker
Ethel Austin Martin Program in Human Nutrition, South Dakota State University, Brookings, SD 57007, USA
J Nutr 134:691S-695S. 2004..There is evidence of calcium intake-by-gene and calcium intake-by-physical activity interactions among toddlers and young children. The long-term effects of these early nutritional influences on later bone health are unknown...
Bone response to jumping is site-specific in children: a randomized trialNeil Johannsen
Ethel Austin Martin Program in Human Nutrition, South Dakota State University, Brookings, SD 57007, USA
Bone 33:533-9. 2003..10). We conclude that skeletal loading increases total body and leg BMC in children, but may not have a positive effect at sites that are predominantly trabecular bone during periods of rapid growth (i.e., peripubertal period)...
Randomized trial of physical activity and calcium supplementation on bone mineral content in 3- to 5-year-old childrenBonny Specker
E A Martin Program in Human Nutrition, South Dakota State University, Brookings, South Dakota 57007, USA
J Bone Miner Res 18:885-92. 2003..These findings indicate that calcium intake modifies the bone response to activity in young children...

Public Health Nurs 26:192-201. 2009..34) with the postal method, and only a slight agreement (.14) with the GIS/satellite imagery method. The plat map, postal listing, and GIS/satellite methods were less time-consuming than the on-site method...
Bone measurements by peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) in children with cerebral palsyTeresa Binkley
Ethel Austin Martin Human Nutrition Program, South Dakota State University, Brookings, South Dakota 57007, USA
J Pediatr 147:791-6. 2005..03). CONCLUSIONS: Bone strength, as indicated by pSSI, is compromised in children with CP due to smaller and thinner bones, not due to lower cortical bone density...

Ethel Austin Martin Program in Human Nutrition, South Dakota State University, Brookings, SD 57007, USA
Bone 35:1383-8. 2004..Whether the greater periosteal circumference that was observed 12 months post-intervention was a persistent biological bone effect or due to persistently higher activity levels is not known...
