High fruit and vegetable intake may be associated with improved bone status among women aged ≥45 years. This is the first systematic review that specifically assessed this association and identified research gaps. The benefits of fruit and vegetables (F&V) on bone health remain unclear. Further studies are needed.<\/p>\n
INTRODUCTION: F&V have several components that are beneficial to bones. Some studies report that high F&V intake is associated with improved bone status in middle aged and aged women; however, findings are inconsistent. The objective was to systematically review observational and interventional studies that investigated the effects of F&V intake on incidence of osteoporotic fractures, bone mineral density (BMD), and bone turnover markers (BTM) in women aged ≥45 years and to identify potential research gaps.<\/p>\n
METHODS: Electronic databases were searched, and peer-reviewed manuscripts published in English, with F&V intake as a main dietary exposure, were included. Data selection, extraction, and evaluation of risk of bias were performed independently by two reviewers.<\/p>\n
RESULTS: Eight studies were included. One cohort study reported cross-sectional as well as longitudinal data. There was significant between-study heterogeneity in design, definition, and amount of F&V intake, outcomes, analyses, and reporting of results. Two studies had low, two had moderate, and four had high risk of bias. Among reports with low or moderate risk of bias, two cross-sectional analyses reported positive associations between F&V intake and BMD of the forearm, lumbar spine, or total hip, whereas one randomized controlled trial and two prospective cohort analyses reported no effects. One trial reported no associations between F&V and BTM.<\/p>\n
CONCLUSIONS: Based on limited evidence, the benefits of F&V on bone health remain unclear for women aged ≥45 years. Further studies with low risk of bias are needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","mots_cles":[],"class_list":["post-39785","resume","type-resume","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"adresse":"Women's Health and Osteoporosis Programs, University Health Network, 200 Elizabeth Street, 7 Eaton North-228-A, Toronto, ON, M5G 2C4, Canada, maryam.hamidi@utoronto.ca.\r\n","annee":"2011","mois":"0","numero":"","page":"","auteurs":[{"ID":39783,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 02:03:15","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-04 01:03:15","post_content":"","post_title":"Hamidi","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hamidi","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 02:03:15","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-04 01:03:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/hamidi\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":39784,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 02:03:16","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-04 01:03:16","post_content":"","post_title":"Cheung","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"cheung","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 02:03:16","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-04 01:03:16","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/cheung\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12770,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 18:50:18","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 17:50:18","post_content":"","post_title":"Beatrice A Boucher","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"beatrice-a-boucher","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 18:50:18","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 17:50:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/beatrice-a-boucher\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"sources":[{"ID":34187,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 00:24:24","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 23:24:24","post_content":"","post_title":"OSTEOPOROS INT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"osteoporos-int","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 00:24:24","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 23:24:24","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/source\/osteoporos-int\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"source","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"yoast_head":"\n
