Alcohol and Bone Health: Skeletal effects of heavy episodic drinking in college

National Institutes of Health: National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism

2015-10-01

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism—one of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH)—recently awarded a Loyola Marymount University research project $374,000 to investigate a possible link between decreased bone health and heavy, intermittent alcohol use in college-age adults.

The study represents a unique collaboration between faculty at the Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering and Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts, with Health and Human Sciences Associate Professor Hawley Almstedt, Ph.D., R.D.N. and Psychology Professor Joseph LaBrie, Ph.D., jointly serving as primary investigators on the grant.

A 12-month study of oral contraceptive use, bone turnover markers, and bone mineral density in college-aged females.

2020-01-25

Young women who use oral contraceptives may have elevated bone turnover, declines in spinal bone density, and lack of bone acquisition of the whole body over 12 months. Young females who initiate oral contraceptive use early after menarche may experience skeletal detriments.
