Overview

John A. Eisman is affiliated with the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Australia and has contributed extensively to the field of medicine, with a particular focus on bone health and osteoporosis research. Their work spans various subfields including surgery, orthopedics and sports medicine, molecular biology, physiology, and epidemiology.

The scientist has published research on several major topics, including:

  • Bone health and osteoporosis research
  • Hip and femur fractures
  • Hip disorders and treatments
  • Bone metabolism and diseases
  • Nutrition and health in aging
  • Bariatric surgery and outcomes
  • Bone fractures and treatments

Frequent co-authors in their research collaborations include Jacqueline R. Center, Tuan V. Nguyen, Dana Bliuc, Thach Tran, and Paul A. Baldock. Their publications often appear in journals such as Osteoporosis International, Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, International Journal of Obesity, The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, and Journal of Religion and Health.

Selected recent papers authored or co-authored by John A. Eisman include:

  • Osteocyte transcriptome mapping identifies a molecular landscape controlling skeletal homeostasis and susceptibility to skeletal disease, 2021, Nature Communications
  • Prevalence of osteoporosis and incidence of related fractures in developed economies in the Asia Pacific region: a systematic review, 2023, Osteoporosis International
  • Previous fracture and subsequent fracture risk: a meta-analysis to update FRAX, 2023, Osteoporosis International
  • A meta-analysis of previous falls and subsequent fracture risk in cohort studies, 2024, Osteoporosis International
  • Cognitive decline is associated with an accelerated rate of bone loss and increased fracture risk in women: a prospective study from the Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study, 2021, Journal of Bone and Mineral Research

The scope of John A. Eisman's work largely centers on skeletal health, examining factors influencing bone loss, fracture risk, and broader metabolic processes impacting bone diseases and recovery outcomes.

In recognition of their contributions to health and medical science, John A. Eisman was named a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Science in 2015.
