Plasma Proteomic Profiling Identifies Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets for Predicting Osteoporosis Risk in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
IBD increases risk of osteoporosis; identifying blood proteins that predict later bone loss could help flag higher-risk patients and reveal biological links between gut inflammation and bone health.

Inflammatory bowel disease
IBD patients face higher risk of osteoporosis; identifying shared, apoptosis-related genes may help explain why and point to future biomarkers or therapeutic targets. The study links specific genes (WNT1, S100A8) to both...
The association between the MCM6 LCT-13910C>T variant and bone mineral density in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
People with IBD face higher osteoporosis risk; this study looked for a genetic variant (LCT-13910C>T) that might affect bone density but found no clear link in this cohort, so it does not change current bone-health...
Ulcerative colitis (UC) in the elderly: diagnostic and therapeutic considerations
Older adults with UC face different risks and treatment trade-offs than younger patients — higher infection and cancer risks, medication toxicities, and challenges with diagnosis and colonoscopy. Understanding these...
Serum Leptin, Ghrelin, and IGF-1 Levels and Their Association with Bone Mineral Density in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis
People with UC have higher rates of low bone density, which raises fracture risk. This study links altered hormones (leptin, ghrelin, IGF‑1) and inflammation to lower BMD in UC, suggesting metabolic pathways that could...
What to Know About Crohn’s Disease Symptoms in Women
Women with Crohn’s may have additional or different symptoms (period changes, painful sex, fertility concerns, bone and iron problems) that can affect daily life and long-term health. Recognizing these issues helps guide...
