J Affect Disord 2024; 356:371-378. [PMID: 38608764 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2024.04.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis and major depressive disorder (MDD) represent two significant health challenges globally, particularly among perimenopausal women. This study utilizes NHANES data and Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to explore the link between them, aiming to provide a basis for intervention strategies for this group. METHODS The study analyzed NHANES 2007-2018 data using weighted logistic regression in R software to evaluate the link between MDD and osteoporosis risk. Then, a two-sample MR analysis with GWAS summary statistics was performed, mainly using the IVW method. Additional validation included MR Egger, Weighted Median, Mode, and MR-PRESSO methods. RESULTS The research analysis indicated a significant link between MDD and the risk of osteopenia/osteoporosis. Our analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between MDD and both femoral neck osteoporosis (OR = 6.942 [95 % CI, 1.692-28.485]) and trochanteric osteoporosis (OR = 4.140 [95 % CI, 1.699-10.089]). In analyses related to osteopenia, a significant positive correlation was observed between MDD and both total femoral osteopenia (OR = 3.309 [95 % CI, 1.577-6.942]) and trochanteric osteopenia (OR = 2.467 [95 % CI, 1.004-6.062]). Furthermore, in the MR analysis, genetically predicted MDD was causally associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis via the IVW method (P = 0.013). LIMITATIONS Our study was limited by potential selection bias due to excluding subjects with missing data, and its applicability was primarily to European and American populations. CONCLUSION Integrating NHANES and MR analyses, a robust correlation between MDD and osteoporosis was identified, emphasizing the significance of addressing this comorbidity within clinical practice and meriting further investigation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis and osteopenia, together known as low bone mineral density (LBMD), are common problems in the elderly. LBMD may cause fragility fractures in the elderly. The relationship between Vitamin E and LBMD in old Americans is still unclear. In this study, we investigated the relationship between serum Vitamin E levels and LBMD in the elderly. METHODS We utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017-2018 and ultimately included 378 participants aged 50 to 79. Multivariable logistic or linear regression models were applied to examine the associations between serum Vitamin E levels and LBMD, total femur or lumbar spine BMD after adjusting for covariates. RESULTS After adjusting for all covariates, higher serum Vitamin E levels reduced the risk of LBMD (OR 0.76; 95% CI 0.58-1.00) and were positively associated with total femur BMD (β: 0.02; 95% CI: 0.01-0.03), after adjusting for all covariates. In the subgroup analysis, for the BMI normal group (BMI<25), the serum Vitamin E levels were positively associated with the total femur (β: 0.03; 95% CI: 0.01-0.05) and lumbar spine BMD (β: 0.04; 95% CI: 0.01-0.07). In the BMI normal group, people with high serum Vitamin E levels have a lower incidence of LBMD (OR:0.43; 95% CI: 0.21-0.88). Though the P for interaction was larger than 0.05. CONCLUSION This study found serum Vitamin E levels were negatively associated with LBMD in older Americans. Serum Vitamin E levels were positively associated with femur BMD in older Americans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early identification of patients at risk of osteopenia is an essential step in reducing the population at risk for fractures. We aimed to develop and validate a prediction model for osteopenia in Chinese middle-aged and elderly men that provides individualized risk estimates. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, 1109 patients who attend regular physical examinations in the Second Medical Centre of Chinese PLA General Hospital were enrolled from 2015.03 to 2015.09. The baseline risk factors included dietary habits, exercise habits, medical histories and medication records. Osteopenia during follow-up were collected from Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and telephone interviews. Internal validation was conducted using bootstrapping to correct the optimism. The independent sample T-test analysis, Mann_Whitney U test, Chi-Square Test and multivariable Cox regression analysis were utilized to identify predictive factors for osteopenia in Chinese middle-aged and elderly men. A nomogram based on the seven variables was built for clinical use. Concordance index (C-index), receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), decision curve analysis (DCA) and calibration curve were used to evaluate the efficiency of the nomogram. RESULTS The risk factors included in the prediction model were bone mineral density at left femoral neck (LNBMD), hemoglobin (Hb), serum albumin (ALB), postprandial blood glucose (PBG), fatty liver disease (FLD), smoking and tea consumption. The C-index for the risk nomogram was 0.773 in the prediction model, which presented good refinement. The AUC of the risk nomogram at different time points ranged from 0.785 to 0.817, exhibiting good predictive ability and performance. In addition, the DCA showed that the nomogram had a good clinical application value. The nomogram calibration curve indicated that the prediction model was consistent. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides a novel nomogram and a web calculator that can effectively predict the 7-year incidence risk of osteopenia in Chinese middle-aged and elderly men. It is convenient for clinicians to prevent fragility fractures in the male population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with no history of fracture or osteoporosis treatment who are at risk of bone complications through the assessment of bone quality and quantity. METHODS Of the outpatients attending our clinic during 2021 to 2022, we retrospectively enrolled 137 (men/women: 85/52, median age: 65 years) consecutive patients aged ≥40 years who had T2DM but no history of fracture or osteoporosis treatment. The lumbar spine and femoral neck bone mineral density and the trabecular bone score were determined using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Independent factors associated with bone disease were identified using logistic regression analysis, and odds ratios (ORs) were calculated. RESULTS Age and female sex were significantly associated with high ORs for development of bone disease. The integrated risk of bone complications was nearly 40-fold higher in older (≥65 years) women than in younger (<65 years) men. This difference remained after adjustment for the duration of T2DM, body mass index, and HbA1c level. CONCLUSIONS Older women have the highest risk of osteopenia and osteoporosis among patients with T2DM who have no history of fracture or osteoporosis treatment. These patients should undergo intensive monitoring for bone fragility from an early stage of their disease.

Abstract
Introduction Musculoskeletal disorders could be associated with metabolic disorders that are common after kidney transplantation, which could reduce the quality of life of patients. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of both musculoskeletal and metabolic disorders in kidney transplant patients. Methods MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE and Web of Science were searched from their inception up to June 2023. DerSimonian and Laird random-effects method was used to calculate pooled prevalence estimates and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results 21,879 kidney transplant recipients from 38 studies were analysed. The overall proportion of kidney transplant patients with musculoskeletal disorders was 27.2% (95% CI: 18.4-36.0), with low muscle strength (64.5%; 95% CI: 43.1-81.3) being the most common disorder. Otherwise, the overall proportion of kidney transplant patients with metabolic disorders was 37.6% (95% CI: 21.9-53.2), with hypovitaminosis D (81.8%; 95% CI: 67.2-90.8) being the most prevalent disorder. Conclusion The most common musculoskeletal disorders were low muscle strength, femoral osteopenia, and low muscle mass. Hypovitaminosis D, hyperparathyroidism, and hyperuricemia were also the most common metabolic disorders. These disorders could be associated with poorer quality of life in kidney transplant recipients. Systematic Review Registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier [CRD42023449171].

Abstract
Reports addressing the effects of oily fish intake on bone health are inconsistent. This study shows that consumption of ≥ 5.2 oily fish servings/week (728 g) is associated with lower prevalence of osteopenia/osteoporosis in elderly women of Amerindian ancestry. Results suggest a beneficial effect of oily fish intake in this population. OBJECTIVES Oily fish is a major dietary source of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and other nutrients that may have a positive effect on bone health. However, this association is inconsistent and seems to be more evident in certain ethnic groups. We aimed to assess the association between oily fish intake and bone mineral density (BMD) in frequent fish consumers of Amerindian ancestry living in rural Ecuador. METHODS This study included 399 individuals aged ≥ 60 years living in three neighboring rural villages of coastal Ecuador. Dietary oily fish intake was quantified systematically using validated surveys and BMD was determined by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Ordinal logistic regression models, adjusted for demographics and cardiovascular risk factors, were fitted to assess the independent association between oily fish intake and bone health. RESULTS Participants had a mean age of 68.8 ± 6.8 years, and 58% were women. The mean intake of oily fish was 8.5 ± 4.7 servings/week, with 308 (77%) reporting high fish intake (≥ 5.2 servings/week [728 g]). Ninety-four (24%) participants had normal BMD T-scores, 149 (37%) had osteopenia, and 156 (39%) had osteoporosis. Ordinal logistic regression models showed no association between high fish intake and bone health in the total population. When men and women were analyzed separately, the association became significant for women only in both unadjusted (OR: 2.52; 95% C.I.: 1.22 - 5.23) and fully-adjusted models (OR: 2.23; 95% C.I.: 1.03 - 4.81). CONCLUSION Consumption of ≥ 5.2 oily fish servings/week is associated with lower prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in elderly women of Amerindian ancestry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteopenia and osteoporosis are posing a long-term influence on the aging population's health contributing to a higher risk of mortality, loss of autonomy, hospitalization, and huge health system costs and social burden. Therefore, more pertinent data are needed to demonstrate the current state of osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE This sampling survey seeks to assess the trends in the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in a Chinese Han population. METHODS A community-based cross-sectional study involving 16,377 participants used a multistage sampling method. Bone mineral density was measured using the quantitative ultrasonic densitometry. Student t test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to test the difference between normally and nonnormally distributed quantitative variables between male and female participants. A chi-square (χ2) test was used to compare categorized variables. Stratified analysis was conducted to describe the prevalence rates of osteoporosis (T score ≤-2.5) and osteopenia (T score -2.5 to -1.0) across age, sex, calcium intake, and menopause. A direct standardization method was used to calculate the age-standardized prevalence rates of osteoporosis and osteopenia. T-score was further categorized into quartiles (T1-T4) by age- and sex-specified groups. RESULTS The prevalence rates of osteopenia and osteoporosis were 40.5% (6633/16,377) and 7.93% (1299/16,377), respectively, and the age-standardized prevalence rates were 27.32% (287,877,129.4/1,053,861,940) and 3.51% (36,974,582.3/1,053,861,940), respectively. There was an increase in osteopenia and osteoporosis prevalence from 21.47% (120/559) to 56.23% (754/1341) and 0.89% (5/559) to 17.23% (231/1341), respectively, as age increased from 18 years to 75 years old. The prevalence rates of osteopenia and osteoporosis were significantly higher in female participants (4238/9645, 43.94% and 1130/9645, 11.72%) than in male participants (2395/6732, 35.58% and 169/6732, 2.51%; P<.001), and in postmenopausal female participants (3638/7493, 48.55% and 1053/7493, 14.05%) than in premenopausal female participants (538/2026, 26.55% and 53/2026, 2.62%; P<.001). In addition, female participants with a history of calcium intake had a lower osteoporosis prevalence rate than female participants without any history of calcium intake in all age groups (P=.004). From low quartile to high quartile of T-score, the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (752/4037, 18.63%; 779/4029, 19.33%; 769/3894, 19.75%; and 869/3879, 22.4%) and dyslipidemia (2228/4036, 55.2%; 2304/4027, 57.21%; 2306/3891, 59.26%; and 2379/3878, 61.35%) were linearly increased (P<.001), while the prevalence of cancer (112/4037, 2.77%; 110/4029, 2.73%; 103/3894, 2.65%; and 77/3879, 1.99%) was decreased (P=.03). CONCLUSIONS Our data imply that as people age, osteopenia and osteoporosis are more common in females than in males, particularly in postmenopausal females than in premenopausal females, and bone mineral density significantly affects the prevalence of chronic diseases. These findings offer information that can be applied to intervention programs meant to prevent or lessen the burden of osteoporosis in China.

[PMID: 38367050 DOI: 10.1007/s00223-024-01184-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
The study investigates the association of coffee consumption and odds of osteoporosis/osteopenia among individuals older than 50 years in the United States. In NHANES 2005-2014, drinking ≤ 2 cups(16 oz) of coffee per day can reduce the risk of osteoporosis/osteopenia at the femoral neck and lumbar spine in US adults. Previous epidemiological studies revealed that daily coffee intake reduced the incidence of a cluster of metabolic diseases, however, the link between coffee consumption and prevalence of osteoporosis/osteopenia still remain inconclusive and awaits further confirmation. Based on data collection from 2005 to 2014 survey cycles, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a sample size of 8789 participants aged 50 and above completing two nonconsecutive 24-h dietary recalls were eventually enrolled for analysis. Associations between coffee intake and BMD were assessed. A lower odds of having femoral neck osteopenia/osteoporosis (FOO) was observed in participants with moderate intake of coffee (≤ 2 cups per day), rather than other beverages (OR 0.83; 95% CI, 0.72-0.95; p = 0.01). Moreover, significant associations existed between daily caffeine intake and both FOO and lumbar-spine osteopenia/osteoporosis (LOO). Even after adjusting for decaffeinated coffee, tea, sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), and coffee consumption, osteopenia and osteoporosis the odds remained lower at both femoral and neck levels. Our data suggest moderate habitual coffee intake (≤ 2 cups coffee/day) would have protective effects against osteoporosis/osteopenia of femoral neck and spine, among US adults over the age of 50.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was aimed to create and validate a risk prediction model for the incidence of osteopenia in individuals with abdominal obesity. METHODS Survey data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database for the years 2013-2014 and 2017-2018 was selected and included those with waist circumferences ≥102 m in men and ≥88 cm in women, which were defined as abdominal obesity. A multifactor logistic regression model was constructed using LASSO regression analysis to identify the best predictor variables, followed by the creation of a nomogram model. The model was then verified and evaluated using the consistency index (C-index), area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results Screening based on LASSO regression analysis revealed that sex, age, race, body mass index (BMI), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Triglycerides (TG) were significant predictors of osteopenia development in individuals with abdominal obesity (P < 0.05). These six variables were included in the nomogram. In the training and validation sets, the C indices were 0.714 (95 % CI: 0.689-0.738) and 0.701 (95 % CI: 0.662-0.739), respectively, with corresponding AUCs of 0.714 and 0.701. The nomogram model exhibited good consistency with actual observations, as demonstrated by the calibration curve. The DCA nomogram showed that early intervention for at-risk populations has a net positive impact. CONCLUSION Sex, age, race, BMI, ALP and TG are predictive factors for osteopenia in individuals with abdominal obesity. The constructed nomogram model can be utilized to predict the clinical risk of osteopenia in the population with abdominal obesity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors for low bone mineral density (BMD) at diagnosis in Asian adolescent females with anorexia nervosa (AN) and atypical AN. METHOD We analyzed the BMD results for 213 patients between 10 and 18 years of age, with AN and atypical AN receiving care at a pediatric hospital in Singapore. We used linear regression analyses to determine if type of eating disorder, premorbid weight, and duration of amenorrhea were risk factors for low BMD. For a subset of patients with repeat BMD evaluation, we used paired t-tests to assess the impact of weight or menstrual restoration on the change in BMD. RESULTS The prevalence of BMD height-for-age Z-scores <-2 at presentation was higher in patients with AN (13.0%) than atypical AN (2.3%) (p = .034). In multivariate regression, a diagnosis of atypical AN was protective against low BMD at the lumbar spine (B = 0.394, p = .009) and total body less head (B = 0.774, p = .010). Duration of amenorrhea was not associated with BMD across all sites. For those with repeat BMD measures, there was significantly less deterioration in the BMD Z-scores for patients with weight or menstrual restoration (R = -0.22 ± 0.59, NR = -0.69 ± 0.43, p = .029). CONCLUSIONS Duration of amenorrhea was not associated with BMD in this sample. A diagnosis of AN was correlated with lower BMD than atypical AN. Further research is needed to better understand the relationship between amenorrhea, weight status, and bone health in Asian adolescents with eating disorders. PUBLIC SIGNIFICANCE In this sample, 13% of Asian adolescents with AN and 2.3% of Asian adolescents with atypical AN have low BMD. In our study population, duration of amenorrhea was not correlated with BMD. Among adolescents with AN, a history of being underweight at the highest pre-morbid BMI, is correlated with low BMD. It is important for physicians to take a thorough weight history in evaluating bone health in this population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Metabolic bone disease of premature infants is a rare complication characterized by a lower mineral content in bone tissue. OBJECTIVE To establish the incidence of metabolic bone disease in premature infants and to determine associated risk factors. MATERIALS AND METHOD We conducted a descriptive prospective cohort study for one year in all newborns under 32 gestational weeks, or 1,500 g, at the Hospital Universitario de Santander to determine the incidence of metabolic bone disease. We collected demographic data and prenatal histories of the selected patients, and later, we measured serum alkaline phosphatase and serum phosphorus at the third week of birth, having as reference values for diagnosis less than 5.6 mg/dl for the first one and more than 500 UI/L for the second one. We applied statistical tools for data analysis, such as average proportions, dispersion, distribution and association measures, and binomial regression. RESULTS From a total of 58 patients, 7 had a diagnosis of metabolic bone disease, with an incidence of 12%. The weight was reported as an independent variable for the development of the disease, being significant in children under 1,160 g, as well as prolonged parenteral nutrition for more than 24 days. When performing the multivariate analysis, low weight and short time of parenteral nutrition appeared as risk factors; in the same way, maternal age below 22 years is associated with a higher relative risk, even more than a newborn weight inferior to 1,160 g. CONCLUSION Establishing an early intervention in patients with metabolic bone disease enhancing risk factors, such as low weight and prolonged parenteral nutrition, is critical to prevent severe complications.

METHODS The study included a sample of 739 participants. Age, bone mineral density, and T-score of each participant were recorded, and HUs were measured in the L1-L4 vertebrae. RESULTS Data analysis revealed that HUs of vertebral cancellous bone across the pedicle level decreased with age, with women having higher values than men up to age 50 and vice versa thereafter. Furthermore, a positive correlation was found between HUs of vertebral cancellous bone across the pedicle level and bone mineral density/T-score in the L1-L4 vertebrae, but with a weaker correlation in the L4 vertebrae. Additionally, HU values for participants with osteoporosis were significantly lower than HU values for participants with osteopenia and normal bone health. CONCLUSIONS From the findings of this study, it can be concluded that HUs may be a potential predictor of bone health, with implications for presurgical assessment of the quality of bone-screw interfaces for spinal surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study was to investigate the correlations between pyrethroid exposure and bone mineral density (BMD) and osteopenia. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study included 1389 participants over 50 years of age drawn from the 2007-2010 and 2013-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Three pyrethroid metabolites, 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA), trans-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethyl-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (trans-DCCA), and 4-fluoro-3-phenoxybenzoic acid (4-F-3PBA) were used as indicators of pyrethroid exposure. Low BMD was defined as T-score < - 1.0, including osteopenia. Weighted multivariable linear regression analysis or logistic regression analysis was utilized to evaluate the correlation between pyrethroid exposure and BMD and low BMD. Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) model was utilized to analyze the correlation between pyrethroids mixed exposure and low BMD. RESULTS There were 648 (48.41%) patients with low BMD. In individual pyrethroid metabolite analysis, both tertile 2 and tertile 3 of trans-DCCA were negatively related to total femur, femur neck, and total spine BMD [coefficient (β) = - 0.041 to - 0.028; all P < 0.05]. Both tertile 2 and tertile 3 of 4-F-3PBA were negatively related to total femur BMD (P < 0.05). Only tertile 2 [odds ratio (OR) = 1.63; 95% CI = 1.07, 2.48] and tertile 3 (OR = 1.65; 95% CI = 1.10, 2.50) of trans-DCCA was correlated with an increased risk of low BMD. The BKMR analysis indicated that there was a positive tendency between mixed pyrethroids exposure and low BMD. CONCLUSION In conclusion, pyrethroids exposure was negatively correlated with BMD levels, and the associations of pyrethroids with BMD and low BMD varied by specific pyrethroids, pyrethroid concentrations, and bone sites.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency can escalate prematurity bone disease in preterm infants and negatively influence their immature immunology system. Infants born at 24 + 0/7 weeks to 32 + 6/7 weeks of gestation will be considered for inclusion. Cord or vein blood samples will be obtained within 48 h after birth for 25-hydroxyvitamin D level measurements. Parathyroid hormone and interleukin-6 levels will be measured. Infants will be randomized to the monitored group (i.e., an initial dose of 1000 IU/day and possible modification) or the controlled group (i.e., 250 IU/day or 500 IU/day dose, depending on weight). Supplementation will be monitored up to a postconceptional age of 35 weeks. The primary endpoint is the percentage of infants with deficient or suboptimal 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels at 28 ± 2 days of age. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels will be measured at postconceptional age 35 ± 2 weeks. Secondary goals encompass assessing the occurrence of sepsis, osteopenia, hyperparathyroidism, and interleukin-6 concentration. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of monitored vitamin D supplementation in a group of preterm infants and ascertain if a high initial dosage of monitored vitamin D supplementation can decrease the occurrence of neonatal sepsis and metabolic bone disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is the most common skeletal disorder that weakens bones and increases their susceptibility to fractures. It is becoming an urgent and serious global epidemic. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with it. This study aimed to find out the prevalence of osteoporosis among patients attending at Manakamana Hospital, Bharatpur, Chitwan, Nepal. METHODS A cross-sectional study was adopted and 623 patients attending at orthopaedic outpatients department (OPD) of Manakamana Hospital were selected using non-probability consecutive sampling technique. Data were collected from 15th October 2021 to 15th April, 2022, by using interview schedule, chart review and Bone Mineral Density (BMD) measurement through calcaneal ultrasonography. Ethical approval was obtained from Nepal Health Research Council Ethical Review Board prior to study procedures. Obtained data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Association between the variables were measured using chi-square test. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 43.5 (±14.26) years. Nearly half (44%, n = 274) were middle aged adults, 59.7% were female and 56.0% were involved in agriculture and household chores. Nearly half of the patients (45.7%) were overweight/ obese, 7.9% were smokers and 13.5% had habit of alcohol use. Osteopenia or low bone density was detected in 58.9% patients and 19.4% had osteoporosis. The prevalence of osteoporosis was significantly associated with age group (p = <0.001) and educational status (p = 0.013) of the patients. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Osteoporosis and osteopenia are prevalent in patients attending in the hospital. Hence, awareness, early screening, and treatment are necessary for the hospital attended patients to enhance their health and, minimize the risk of osteoporosis and the consequences associated with it.

Abstract
Osteosarcopenic individuals have poor muscle function and increased bone fragility, which results in a severe detriment to health outcomes. Hence, there is a necessity to discover easily accessible factors associated with osteosarcopenia to develop timely interventions. This study aimed to determine new sensitive balance and/or gait variables that are associated with osteosarcopenia in a population of older people with a history of falls and/or fractures. In a cross-sectional cohort study, 306 men and women aged ≥65 years completed a series of questionnaires, clinical assessments and muscle strength and function tests. Subsequently, participants were separated into osteopenia, osteoporosis and osteosarcopenia, groups for comparison and further analysis. Osteosarcopenia performed worse than osteopenia and osteoporosis in grip strength, gait speed, physical function scores and in multiple gait and balance indices (p<0.001). During posturography testing, there were larger elliptical areas with eyes open (p = 0.003), and eyes closed (p = 0.043) and increased sway velocity on a firm platform (p = 0.007) in the osteosarcopenia group, compared to osteoporosis. Limits of stability and eyes open ellipse area significantly contributed to the multivariable model (p = 0.029 and p = 0.038, respectively), suggesting that these balance parameters, along with grip strength, may be useful in identifying older adults with osteosarcopenia from those with only osteopenia/osteoporosis. Older adults with osteosarcopenia and a history of falls and/or fractures demonstrated inferior strength, function, and gait characteristics. This study identified indices of balance that were sensitive discriminators for osteosarcopenia and could be easily implemented into routine assessment.

Abstract
Introduction. With the use of aggressive parenteral nutrition in very low birth weight infants, alterations in calcium and phosphate metabolism were detected. In 2016, a prevention strategy was implemented through calcium phosphate monitoring and early supplementation. Our objective was to study whether this strategy reduces the prevalence of osteopenia and to identify associated risk factors. Population and methods. Quasi-experiment comparing the prevalence of osteopenia between two groups: one after implementing the calcium phosphate monitoring and supplementation strategy (01/01/2017-12/31/2019) and another prior to such intervention (01/01/2013-12/31/2015). Results. A total of 226 patients were included: 133 in the pre-intervention period and 93 in the post-intervention period. The overall prevalence of osteopenia was 26.1% (95% CI: 20.5-32.3) and it was reduced from 29.3% (95% CI: 21.7-37.8) in the pre-intervention period to 21.5% (95% CI: 13.6-31.2) in the post-intervention period, with no statistical significance (p = 0.19). In the multivariate analysis, the NEOCOSUR score for risk of death at birth, use of postnatal corticosteroids, and the intervention period were independently associated with osteopenia. Being born after the intervention reduced the probability of alkaline phosphatase > 500 IU/L by 71%, regardless of the other variables included in the model. Conclusion. Calcium phosphate monitoring and early supplementation is a protective factor against the development of osteopenia in very low birth weight infants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES the primary aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and risk factors of low bone mineral density in Bahrain. METHODS this was a retrospective study, which targeted a cohort of 4822 Bahraini subjects (mean age 59.36 years: 93% females). Demographic data and results of lumbar and femur DEXA scan for the targeted sample, over the period 2016-2018, were retrieved from four hospitals. RESULTS The prevalence of low BMD was 62.3% (46.4% had osteopenia and 15.9% had osteoporosis). The highest rate of osteopenia was detected at the age group younger than 44 years. However, with increasing age, the rate of osteopenia declined, whereas osteoporosis increased (P < 0.001). Females were found to be at higher risk of developing both osteopenia (45.8%) and osteoporosis (18.1%) compared to males (39% and 12.4%, respectively) (P < 0.001). Postmenopausal women exhibited higher rates of low BMD (42.4% osteopenia, 22.3% osteoporosis) compared to elderly men (30.9% osteopenia, 9% osteoporosis). CONCLUSIONS We reported high prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in Bahrain. Low BMD was more common in females, especially in postmenopausal women. Highest prevalence of osteopenia happened at young age. Therefore, we advocate screening at younger age than previously recommended.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bone fragility in sickle cell disease (SCD) has been previously reported even in young patients, but the clinical consequences and specific management remain unclear. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of bone fragility in sickle cell patients and to evaluate the potential risk factors and associated complications. METHODS We conducted a single-center cross-sectional study. Bone mineral densitometry (BMD) at the lumbar spine and the hip, Vertebral Fracture Assessment (VFA) and biological measurements were performed in patients aged between 20 and 40 years. RESULTS One hundred and thirty-eight patients with sickle cell disease were included between June 2020 and December 2021. One hundred and one patients (73.2 %) were from Sub-Saharan Africa, 13 from North Africa (9.4 %), 11 from the Caribbean (7.9 %), 6 from the Indian Ocean. A Z-score < -2 was found in 43 patients (31.2 %) at the lumbar spine, in 4 patients (3 %) at the total hip, and in 5 patients (3.7 %) at the femoral neck. 59 patients (46.8 %) had vertebral deformities. Fragility fractures were recorded in 9 patients (10.8 %). Patients with low BMD had lower BMI (21.3 (19.0, 24.0) versus 24.0 (20.7, 26.1) Kg/m2, p = 0.003), lower osteonecrosis history (7 % versus 25.3 %, p = 0.011) and lower hemoglobin levels (9.0 (8.0, 10.0) versus 10.0 (9.0, 11.0) g/dL, p < 0.01). No association was found between history of fracture and low BMD. CONCLUSION Young patients with SCD commonly have low BMD at the lumbar spine, but the prevalence of fragility fracture was low. Low BMD - specifically at the spine - may not be tantamount to bone fragility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of low bone mass (osteopenia/osteoporosis), the factors associated with low bone mass, and the risk of fractures in Brazilian postmenopausal women living with HIV (WLH) in the Amazon region. METHODS This is a cohort study with a cross-sectional assessment at baseline conducted between March 2021 to August 2022 with 100 postmenopausal WLH undergoing antiretroviral therapy (ART) between 45 and 60 years of age and 100 age-matched HIV-negative women. Data on bone mineral density in the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) were collected using dual x-ray absorptiometry and the 10-year risk of hip and major osteoporotic fractures was assessed using the Fracture Risk Assessment tool (FRAX). RESULTS The age of menopause onset occurred earlier in WLH ( P < 0.001). No differences in prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia in LS and FN were observed except for a lower T score in FN in WLH ( P = 0.039). The FRAX for major osteoporotic fracture and hip fracture were low in both groups, despite the mean of both FRAX scores was higher in WLH ( P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that years since menopause onset, higher body mass index and higher FRAX major osteoporotic fracture were associated with the WLH group, while a higher frequency of physical activity was registered in the HIV-negative group. Multivariate analysis also showed that in WLH, a lower T score in FN was associated with years since menopause onset and body mass index and that the number of years since menopause onset was associated with a lower T score in the LS and a higher score in the FRAX hip fracture. CONCLUSIONS Our findings show a high prevalence of low bone mass (osteopenia/osteoporosis) in Brazilian postmenopausal women from the Amazon region. Women living with HIV have higher FRAX scores than HIV-negative women and a lower T score in the FN.

Abstract
The monocyte to high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio) was proposed as a marker of atherosclerosis. Osteoporosis and atherosclerosis share common risk factors and pathophysiological mechanisms. This study aimed to assess the relationship between monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio and osteoporosis. Participants aged ≥50 years with complete bone mineral density (BMD), monocyte, and HDL-C examination data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2014 were included. Descriptive analysis was performed separately according to males and females. Weight linear regression and weight logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the association between the monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio and BMD and osteopenia and osteoporosis and vertebral fracture. A total of 1804 participants were included. Among the participants with osteopenia, 398 (48.31%) were males and 466 (51.91%) were females. Among those with osteoporosis, 38 (2.77%) were males and 95 (9.50%) were females. In females, monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio was negatively associated with femoral neck BMD (regression coefficient (β) = -0.18; 95% confidence interval (CI): (-0.29, -0.07)) and high monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio was associated with higher odds of osteopenia (odds ratio (OR) = 1.22; 95% CI: (1.01, 1.47)) and osteoporosis (OR = 1.68; 95% CI: (1.13, 2.49)) after adjusting for confounders. In males, only monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio >0.35 was observed to be associated with higher odds of osteoporosis (OR = 1.96; 95% CI: (1.02, 3.79)). Stratified analyses showed that similar results were also found in different populations. This study showed that the monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio was negatively associated with BMD and the risk of osteopenia and osteoporosis in females. The monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio may be a new marker of osteoporosis or osteopenia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate longitudinal changes in bone mineral density (BMD) in middle-aged female patients who underwent spinal fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). METHODS The study subjects were 229 female patients who were diagnosed with AIS and underwent spinal fusion between 1968 and 1988. A two-step survey study was conducted on 19 female AIS patients. BMD, Z-scores, T-scores, and the prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia were compared between the initial (2014-2016) and second (2022) surveys. Correlations between the annual changes in Z-scores and T-scores with radiographic parameters, body mass index (BMI), and the number of remaining mobile discs were analyzed. RESULTS BMD decreased significantly from the initial (0.802 ± 0.120 g/cm2) to the second survey (0.631 ± 0.101 g/cm2; p < 0.001). Z-scores decreased from 0.12 ± 1.09 to - 0.14 ± 1.04, while T-scores decreased significantly from - 0.70 ± 1.07 to - 1.77 ± 1.11 (p < 0.001). The prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis increased significantly from 36.8% to 89.5% (p = 0.002), but the increase in osteoporosis alone was not statistically significant (5.3% to 26.3%; p = 0.180). Moderate negative correlations were found between annual changes in Z-scores and both main thoracic (MT) curve (r = - 0.539; p = 0.017) and lumbar curve (r = - 0.410; p = 0.081). The annual change in T-scores showed a moderate negative correlation with the MT curve (r = - 0.411; p = 0.081). CONCLUSION Significant reductions in BMD and an increased prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis were observed in middle-aged female AIS patients who had undergone spinal fusion. The decline in Z-scores in patients with AIS suggested that there was an accelerated loss of BMD compared with the general population. Larger residual curves could pose an added osteoporosis risk. Further research is needed to understand if the onset of osteoporosis in AIS patients is attributable to the condition itself or the surgical intervention.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine current physical activity trends association with bone density in a racial and ethnically diverse sample of older adults. We found that those engaged in no and some physical activity had lower femoral BMD when compared to those that met the physical activity recommendation. PURPOSE Most older adults do not engage in the recommended levels of physical activity to improve health, and there are racial and ethnic differences in physical activity participation. This study aims to evaluate whether meeting the physical activity recommendation is related to osteopenia and osteoporosis in a racially and ethnically diverse sample of older adults. METHODS Femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2009-2010, 2013-2014, 2017-2018) was obtained from 5252adults 60-80 years old. Self-reported physical activity was categorized into met recommendation, some physical activity, and no physical activity. We used linear regression models to examine the association between physical activity and BMD for each race and ethnic group adjusting for sociodemographics and other selected variables. RESULTS Non-Latino Blacks (NLB) and Latinos reported the lowest prevalence of meeting the physical activity recommendation, compared with Non-Latino Whites (NLW) (40.0%, 44.0%, and 51.4%, respectively; p < 0.0001). Further, NLB and Latinos had a lower prevalence of osteoporosis when compared to NLW (5.4%, 7.3%, and 9.1% respectively; p < 0.0001). There was a 0.03 g/cm2 difference in BMD between those who met the physical activity recommendation when compared to the no physical activity group; however, this decreased after adjusting for selected covariates. CONCLUSION Considering the prevalence and burden of osteopenia and osteoporosis, and projected increases in the racial and ethnic diversity of the older population, more research is needed to further understand the association between meeting the physical activity recommendation and bone health among racial and ethnic diverse older adults.

Abstract
Background Existing evidence on the associations of liver steatosis and fibrosis with bone mineral density (BMD) and risk of osteopenia/osteoporosis was limited with conflicting results. We aimed to evaluate the associations of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and hepatic fibrosis with BMD and risk of osteopenia/osteoporosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Methods Baseline information of an ongoing cohort of 249 T2DM patients in Xiamen, China was analyzed. MAFLD was defined as the presence of hepatic steatosis [diagnosed by either hepatic ultrasonography scanning or fatty liver index (FLI) score >60] for T2DM patients. BMD was measured using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry at total lumbar (L2-4), femur neck (FN), and total hip (TH) and was categorized as normal (T ≥ -1.0), osteopenia (-2.5 < T < -1.0), or osteoporosis (T ≤ -2.5) according to its minimum T-score. Results Among the 249 T2DM patients, prevalence rates of MAFLD, osteopenia, and osteoporosis were 57.8%, 50.6%, and 17.7%, respectively. Patients with MAFLD had significantly higher BMD T-scores of L2-4, FN, and TH and the minimum as well as lower prevalence of osteoporosis than patients without MAFLD. Hepatic steatosis indices, including FLI score, fatty liver (FLI ≥ 60 or hepatic ultrasonography scanning), and MAFLD, were significantly and positively associated with all T-scores, while hepatic fibrosis index and FIB-4 score, but not NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS), were negatively associated with all T-scores. MAFLD was significantly associated with the decreased risk of osteopenia/osteoporosis and osteoporosis with unadjusted odds ratios (ORs) (95% CI) of 0.565 (0.324-0.987) and 0.434 (0.224-0.843) (both p-values < 0.05), respectively. As for liver fibrosis, FIB-4 score, but not NFS, was significantly associated with elevated risk of osteoporosis with an unadjusted OR (95% CI) per SD increase of FIB-4 score of 1.446 (1.080-1.936, p-value = 0.013). Adjusting for potential confounding variables, especially body mass index, in the multivariable regression analyses, all associations of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis indices with BMD and risk of osteopenia/osteoporosis were not statistically significant. Conclusion MAFLD and hepatic fibrosis were not significantly associated with BMD and risk of osteopenia/osteoporosis independent of obesity. Nevertheless, screening and management of MAFLD and osteopenia/osteoporosis were still important for the prevention of fracture in T2DM patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The identification of risk factors for osteosarcopenia in older adults is important for planning preventative strategies in clinical practice. Therefore, our study aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors associated with osteosarcopenia in older adults using different diagnostic criteria. METHODS The sample included 171 community-dwelling older adults with a mean age of 79.4 ± 5.9 years and mean body mass index of 25.67 ± 4.70 kg/m2. We analyzed sociodemographic, biomarkers, lifestyle, and health condition data from participants of the "Projeto Idosos - Goiânia" cohort study. The outcome osteosarcopenia was defined as the simultaneous occurrence of sarcopenia and osteopenia. Osteopenia was diagnosed by low lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Sarcopenia was diagnosed using handgrip dynamometry and appendicular skeletal mass index assessed by DEXA following the criteria of the two European consensuses on sarcopenia (2010 and 2018). Two osteosarcopenia outcome variables were evaluated: OsteoSarc1 and OsteoSarc2 using the 2010 and 2018 European sarcopenia consensus criteria, respectively. Multivariate Poisson regression analysis was used to calculate the prevalence ratios (PRs). RESULTS The prevalence of OsteoSarc1 and OsteoSarc2 were 12.8% and 7.2%, respectively, with no significant gender differences. OsteoSarc1 was associated with low potassium (PR: 3.39, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10-10.43) and malnutrition (PR: 3.84, 95% CI: 1.78-8.30). OsteoSarc2 was associated with being ≥80 years (PR: 7.64, 95% CI: 1.57-37.07), >4 years of education (PR: 3.25, 95% CI: 1.03-10.22), alcohol consumption (PR: 2.41, 95% CI: 1.01-5.77), low potassium (PR: 2.22, 95% CI: 1.45-6.87), low serum vitamin D (PR: 4.47, 95% CI: 1.68-11.88), and malnutrition (PR: 5.00, 95% CI: 1.06-23.51). CONCLUSIONS OsteoSarc1 had a higher prevalence. The risk factors associated with the two outcomes were malnutrition and potassium level, as well as other risk factors, such as alcohol consumption and low vitamin D level. These findings may contribute to the prevention or treatment of this health condition in older adults.

Abstract
PURPOSE The incidence of metabolic bone diseases in pediatric neurosurgical patients is rare. We examined our institutional experience of metabolic bone diseases along with a review of the literature in an effort to understand management for this rare entity. METHODS Retrospective review of the electronic medical record database was performed to identify patients with primary metabolic bone disorders who underwent craniosynostosis surgery between 2011 and 2022 at a quaternary referral pediatric hospital. Literature review was conducted for primary metabolic bone disorders associated with craniosynostosis. RESULTS Ten patients were identified, 6 of whom were male. The most common bone disorders were hypophosphatemic rickets (n = 2) and pseudohypoparathyroidism (n = 2). The median age at diagnosis of metabolic bone disorder was 2.02 years (IQR: 0.11-4.26), 2.52 years (IQR: 1.24-3.14) at craniosynostosis diagnosis, and 2.65 years (IQR: 0.91-3.58) at the time of surgery. Sagittal suture was most commonly fused (n = 4), followed by multi-suture craniosynostosis (n = 3). Other imaging findings included Chiari (n = 1), hydrocephalus (n = 1), and concurrent Chiari and hydrocephalus (n = 1). All patients underwent surgery for craniosynostosis, with the most common operation being bifronto-orbital advancement (n = 4). A total of 5 patients underwent reoperation, 3 of which were planned second-stage surgeries and 2 of whom had craniosynostosis recurrence. CONCLUSIONS We advocate screening for suture abnormalities in children with primary metabolic bone disorders. While cranial vault remodeling is not associated with a high rate of postoperative complications in this patient cohort, craniosynostosis recurrences may occur, and parental counseling is recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteopenia, a condition in which bone mineral density is lower than normal, is a noted risk factor that leads to a shortened healthy life expectancy. OBJECTIVE To investigate the prognostic impact of preoperative osteopenia in patients with colorectal cancer. DESIGN This was a retrospective study. SETTING This study was conducted at a university hospital. PATIENTS A total of 1086 patients with stage I to III colorectal cancer who underwent curative resection. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Osteopenia was evaluated with CT. Overall survival, disease-specific survival, and recurrence-free survival were the primary end points. RESULTS Osteopenia was identified in 300 patients (27.6%). Compared with the no osteopenia group, the 5-year overall survival (74.0% vs 93.4%, p < 0.001), disease-specific survival (81.6% vs 97.2%, p < 0.001), and recurrence-free survival rates (57.1% vs 88.3%, p < 0.001) were significantly lower in the osteopenia group. Multivariate analyses showed that preoperative osteopenia was significantly associated with worse overall survival (HR: 4.135; 95% CI, 2.963-5.770; p < 0.001), disease-specific survival (HR: 7.673; 95% CI, 4.646-12.675; p < 0.001), and recurrence-free survival (HR: 5.039; 95% CI, 3.811-6.662; p < 0.001). The prognosis of the osteopenia group was poorer than that of the no osteopenia group in every stage: 5-year overall survival (stage I: 89.4% vs 96.9%, p = 0.028; stage II: 76.5% vs 91.9%, p < 0.001; stage III: 56.4% vs 90.8%, p < 0.001) and 5-year recurrence-free survival (stage I: 85.4% vs 96.6%, p = 0.002; stage II: 62.0% vs 86.5%, p < 0.001; stage III: 26.4% vs 80.0%, p < 0.001). LIMITATIONS The main limitations are retrospective single-institutional features and races of the study population. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative osteopenia could be a strong predictive marker for long-term prognosis in colorectal cancer regardless of stage. EL IMPACTO PRONSTICO DE LA OSTEOPENIA PREOPERATORIA EN PACIENTES CON CNCER COLORRECTAL ANTECEDENTES:La osteopenia, una afección en la que la densidad mineral ósea es más baja de lo normal, es un relevante factor de riesgo que conduce a una expectativa menor de vida saludable.OBJETIVO:Investigar el impacto pronóstico de la osteopenia preoperatoria en pacientes con cáncer colorrectal (CCR).DISEÑO:Un estudio retrospectivo.AJUSTE:Estudio realizado en un hospital universitario.PACIENTES:Un total de 1.086 pacientes con CCR en estadio I-III sometidos a una resección curativa.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:La osteopenia se evaluó con imágenes de tomografía computarizada. La supervivencia global la supervivencia específica de la enfermedad y la supervivencia libre de recurrencia fueron los criterios de valoración primaria.RESULTADOS:Se identificó osteopenia en 300 pacientes (27,6%). En comparación con el grupo sin osteopenia, las tasas de supervivencia global a 5 años (74,0% frente a 93,4%, p < 0,001), supervivencia especifica de la enfermedad (81,6 % frente a 97,2%, p < 0,001) tasas de supervivencia libre de recurrencia (57,1% frente a 88,3%, p < 0,001) fueron significativamente más bajas en el grupo de osteopenia. Los análisis multivariados mostraron que la osteopenia preoperatoria se asoció significativamente con una peor supervivencia global (HR 4,135; IC 95% 2,963-5,770; p < 0,001), supervivencia especifica de la enfermedad (HR 7,673; IC 95% 4,646-12,675; p < 0,001) y tasas de supervivencia libre de recurrencia (HR 5,039; IC 95% 3,811-6,662; p < 0,001). El pronóstico del grupo con osteopenia fue peor que el del grupo sin osteopenia en todos los estadios: supervivencia global a 5 años (estadio I: 89,4% frente a 96,9%, p = 0,028; estadio II: 76,5% frente a 91,9%, p < 0,001; estadio III: 56,4% frente a 90,8%, p < 0,001) y tasas de supervivencia libre de recurrencia a 5 años (estadio I: 85,4% frente a 96,6%, p < 0,002; estadio II: 62,0% frente a 86,5%, p < 0,001; estadio III: 26,4% frente a 80,0%, p < 0,001).LIMITACIONES:Las principales limitaciones son las características retrospectivas de una sola institución y las razas de la población de estudio.CONCLUSIONES:La osteopenia preoperatoria puede ser un fuerte marcador predictivo para el pronóstico a largo plazo en CCR independientemente de la etapa.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE identification of clinical and metabolic characteristics of osteogenesis and factors affecting bone mineral density (BMD) in children living in radioactively contaminated territories (RCT) after the ChNPP accident for the use of therapeutic and preventive measures aiming to reduce the incidence of disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS Children aged 4 to 18 years old (n = 539) were involved in the study within 4 age groups, namely under 7 years old, 7-10 years old, 10-14 years old, older than 14 years old. Studied parameters in children with a reduced BMD (85-65 relative units and under 65 relative units) were estimated vs. the normative BMD (100-85 relative units) cases. Diagnosis of osteopenia and osteoporosis in children was established according to the BMD T-index. Family history of the relatives of children was studied. Body weight at birth, fractures of the long bones, complaints of osalgia, jaw anomalies, dental caries, presence of obesity, and hypermobility syndrome (HMS) were assessed. Peripheral blood biochemical tests were performed featuring the serum total protein, alkaline phosphatase (APh), calcium, vitamin D, creatinine, serum iron (SI), ferritin, cortisol, pituitary thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and free thyroxine (FT4) assay. BMD was measured and radiation doses in children were reconstructed. RESULTS BMD depended on the age of children. A direct correlation was established between the cholelithiasis and urolithiasis incidence (р < 0.01), cancer and endocrine diseases (р < 0.05) in the relatives of children that had BMD under 65 relative units. Dental caries developed more often (р < 0.05), while obesity was less frequent (р < 0.05) in the subjects with BMD < 65 relative units. A direct correlation was established between the level of serum creatinine and BMD (р < 0.01), and there was an inverse correlation between the serum APh level and BMD (р < 0.001).Every third child had a vitamin D deficiency. Fractures of long bones and increased content of SI and TSH were characteristic for the children having got osteopenia (BMD within 85-65 relative units), while besides a predisposition to bone fractures the higher levels of SI, APh, cortisol both with calcium deficiency were found in children with osteoporosis (BMD < 65 relative units) compared to the general group with a similar BMD. An increased incidence of HMS was characteristic too. Radiation doses in children with osteopenia were higher than in those with osteoporosis: (1.17 ± 0.09) mSv and (0.92 ± 0.06) mSv respectively (р < 0.05). No correlation was found between the radiation doses and clinical signs, blood biochemistry or BMD. CONCLUSIONS Study of the functional mechanisms of bone structures in children, depending on their metabolism, had made it possible to reveal the factors that affect bone formation in children living in RCT after the ChNPP accident, and to form the population groups for the timely application of therapeutic and preventive measures aiming to reduce the incidence of disorders of musculoskeletal system.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective chart review. OBJECTIVE This study aims to identify the prevalence of osteoporosis (OP) by lumbar computed tomography (CT) Hounsfield units (HUs) in patients who have normal or osteopenic bone determined by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA OP is a critical issue in the postmenopausal and aging population. Bone mineral density assessment by DEXA has been described as insensitive for diagnosing OP in the lumbar spine. Improving the detection of OP can bring more patients to treatment and reduce the risks associated with low bone mineral density. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all patients with DEXA scans and noncontrast CTs of the lumbar spine over a 15-year period. Patients were diagnosed as non-OP if they had a normal DEXA T -score (≥ -1) or osteopenic DEXA T -score (between -1.1 and -2.4). Patients in this cohort were considered osteoporotic by CT if L1-HU ≤110. Demographics and lumbar HUs were compared between these stratified groups. RESULTS A total of 74 patients were included for analysis. All patients were demographically, similar, and the average patient age was 70 years. The prevalence of OP determined by CT L1-HU ≤110 was 46% (normal DEXA: 9%, osteopenic DEXA: 63%). A significant number of males in our study were considered osteoporotic by L1-HU ≤110 (74%, P = 0.03). All individual axial and sagittal lumbar HU measurements including L1-L5 average lumbar HUs were statistically significant among non-OP and OP groups except for the lower lumbar levels ( P > 0.05 for L4 axial HUs, and L4-L5 sagittal HUs). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of OP in patients with normal or osteopenic T -scores is high. Among those with osteopenia by DEXA, more than 50% may lack appropriate medical treatment. The DEXA scan may be particularly insensitive to male bone quality making the CT HU the diagnostic method of choice for detecting OP. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoporosis is frequently observed in patients after heart transplantation (HT), although the prevalence long-term post-HT is unknown. Most studies investigating bone mineral density (BD) after HT were performed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. In this study BD, including the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis, was investigated using coronary computed tomography (CCT) long-term post-HT. Moreover, risk factors for abnormal BD were investigated. METHODS All first CCT scans between February 2018 and June 2020 used for the annual screening for cardiac allograft vasculopathy were included. Retransplantations and scans with not fully imaged vertebrae were excluded. BD was measured as a mean of the BD of three consecutive thoracic vertebrae and categorized into normal BD, osteopenia or osteoporosis. Binary logistic regression was used to find determinants for an abnormal BD. Linear regression was used to explore determinants for the mean Hounsfield unit (HU) value of the BD. RESULTS In total, 140 patients were included (median age 55.2 [42.9-64.9] years, 51 (36%) female). Time between HT and CT scan was 11.0 [7.3-16.1] years. In total, 80 (57%), 43 (31%), and 17 (12%) patients had a normal BD, osteopenia, or osteoporosis, respectively. Osteoporotic fracture or vertebrae fractures was seen in 11 (8%) patients. Determinants for an abnormal BD were recipient age (OR 1.10 (1.06-1.14), p<0.001) and prednisolone use (OR 3.75 (1.27-11.01), p=0.016). In linear regression, left ventricular assist device use pre-HT (p=0.024) and time since HT (p=0.046) were additional BD determinants. DISCUSSION Osteopenia and osteoporosis are frequently seen on CCT post-HT. More investigation on appropriate measures to maintain a normal BD in these patients are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the prevalence and treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis in recent years, analyze differences between the prevalence diagnosed by physicians and the prevalence detected by bone mineral density (BMD), and observe the trends of prevalence and treatment rate of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women over time are of great value for the management of osteoporosis. METHODS This cross-sectional study collected the data of 4012 postmenopausal women from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005 to 2010, 2013 to 2014 and 2017 to 2018. The prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia as well as the treatment rate of osteoporosis were analyzed using Mann-Kendall trend test. Subgroup analysis was conducted in different age, race, body mass index (BMI), diabetes, hypertension, or glucocorticoid use groups. RESULTS The overall prevalence of physician diagnosed of osteoporosis was 17.4% and was fluctuated in a small range and remained relatively stable within a certain range (Mann-Kendall trend test: Z = 2.20, P = 0.027) during 2005-2018. The prevalence of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women determined by bone mineral density (BMD) examination reached 9.2% during the five cycles. From 2005 to 2018, the prevalence of physician diagnosed osteoporosis fluctuated in a small range. For osteopenia measured by BMD, the prevalence was 59.6% and a gradual increasing trend was found between 2005 and 2018 (Mann-Kendall trend test: Z = 2.20, P = 0.027). Among patients with physician diagnosed osteoporosis, the treatment rate reached 70.49%. The treatment rate of physician diagnosed osteoporosis was decreased from 2005 to 2008, and further decreased from 2009 to 2018 (Mann-Kendall trend test: Z = -2.20, P = 0.027). The actual treatment rate of osteoporosis patients was 55.53%. During 2005-2018, the actual treatment rate of osteoporosis showed a continuous decline (Mann-Kendall trend test: Z = -2.20, P = 0.027). CONCLUSION Osteoporosis management might be insufficient and more efforts are needed to improve the diagnosis and treatment rates of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone mineral density (BMD) loss may be accelerated in people with HIV (PLWH). It is unknown whether a polygenic risk score (PRS) is associated with low BMD in PLWH. METHODS Swiss HIV Cohort Study participants of self-reported European descent underwent ≥2 per-protocol dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurements ≥2 years apart (2011-2020). Univariable and multivariable odds ratios (ORs) for DXA-defined osteoporosis were based on traditional and HIV-related risk factors and a genome-wide PRS built from 9413 single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with low BMD in the general population. Controls were free from osteoporosis/osteopenia on all DXA measurements. RESULTS We included 438 participants: 149 with osteoporosis and 289 controls (median age, 53 years; 82% male, 95% with suppressed HIV RNA). Participants with unfavorable osteoporosis PRS (top vs bottom quintile) had univariable and multivariable-adjusted osteoporosis ORs of 4.76 (95% CI, 2.34-9.67) and 4.13 (1.86-9.18), respectively. For comparison, hepatitis C seropositivity, 5-year tenofovir disoproxil fumarate exposure, and parent history of hip fracture yielded univariable osteoporosis ORs of 2.26 (1.37-3.74), 1.84 (1.40-2.43), and 1.54 (0.82-2.9). CONCLUSIONS In PLWH in Switzerland, osteoporosis was independently associated with a BMD-associated PRS after adjustment for established risk factors, including exposure to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate.

Abstract
Background & objectives Vitamin D plays an important role in bone metabolism, and liver is the intermediary site of vitamin D metabolism. The purpose of this study was to study the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and bone health in patients with cirrhosis. Methods Prospectively, serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] level were assessed in cirrhotics by chemiluminescence method. Endocrine Society Clinical practice guideline was used to define deficiency and insufficiency of vitamin D. Bone mineral density (BMD) was assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and the World Health Organization criteria was used to define osteoporosis and osteopenia. The lowest T score at the left hip neck or lumbar spine was taken as osteoporosis or osteopenia. The Child-Turcotte-Pugh score was used to assess the severity of cirrhosis. Results Cirrhotics (n=350, male: 278, compensated: 210) were included. Mean serum 25(OH)D level was 8.75 ng/ml. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and low-BMD (osteopenia and osteoporosis) was 89.4 and 86 per cent, respectively. VDD, insufficiency and osteoporosis was found in 86.7, 11.9 and 33.8 per cent, respectively, in patients with compensated cirrhosis; and 93.6, 3.6 and 40 per cent, respectively, in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Body mass index of >25 kg/m2 was protective for bone health. Interpretation & conclusions VDD and low-BMD is prevalent in Indian patients with cirrhosis and should be looked for in patients with cirrhosis for its prevention.

BMI trajectory of rapid and excessive weight gain during adulthood is associated with bone loss: a cross-sectional study from NHANES 2005-2018. J Transl Med 2023; 21:536. [PMID: 37573305 PMCID: PMC10422827 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-023-04397-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have examined the effect of weight change on osteoporosis, but the results were controversial. Among them, few had looked at weight change over the life span. This study aimed to fill this gap and investigate the association between lifetime body mass index (BMI) trajectories and bone loss. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, participants at age 50 and above were selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2018. Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry was used to measure the bone mineral density at the femoral neck and lumbar spine. Standard BMI criteria were used, with < 25 kg/m2 for normal, 25-29.9 kg/m2 for overweight, and ≥ 30 kg/m2 for obesity. The latent class trajectory model (LCTM) was used to identify BMI trajectories. Multinomial logistic regression models were fitted to evaluate the association between different BMI trajectories and osteoporosis or osteopenia. RESULTS For the 9,706 eligible participants, we identified four BMI trajectories, including stable (n = 7,681, 70.14%), slight increase (n = 1253, 12.91%), increase to decrease (n = 195, 2.01%), and rapid increase (n = 577, 5.94%). Compared with individuals in the stable trajectory, individuals in the rapid increase trajectory had higher odds of osteoporosis (OR = 2.25, 95% CI 1.19-4.23) and osteopenia (OR = 1.49, 95% CI 1.02-2.17). This association was only found in the lumbar spine (OR = 2.11, 95% CI 1.06-4.2) but not in the femoral neck. In early-stage (age 25-10 years ago) weight change, staying an obesity and stable weight seemed to have protective effects on osteoporosis (OR = 0.26, 95% CI 0.08-0.77) and osteopenia (OR = 0.46, 95% CI 0.25-0.84). Meanwhile, keeping an early-stage stable and overweight was related to lower odds of osteopenia (OR = 0.53, 95% CI 0.34-0.83). No statistically significant association between recent (10 years ago to baseline) weight change and osteoporosis was found. CONCLUSIONS Rapid and excess weight gain during adulthood is associated with a higher risk of osteoporosis. But this association varies by skeletal sites. Maintaining stable overweight and obesity at an early stage may have potentially beneficial effects on bone health.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Individuals with chronic pancreatitis (CP) are at increased risk for nutritional complications during their clinical course. We appraised the literature to provide updated estimates of the prevalence and predictors of osteoporosis, osteopenia, and osteopathy in CP using a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS Search strategies were developed for major databases from inception through October 2021. Outcomes of interest included rates of osteopenia and osteoporosis based on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans and risk factors. A random-effects model was used for analysis, and results were expressed as pooled cumulative rates along with 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS From an initial total of 1,704 identified articles, we ultimately selected 17 studies that involved 1,659 subjects (n = 1,067 men) with CP. The pooled rate of osteopathy was 58% (95% CI: 49%-67%; P < 0.001; I 2 = 91.8%). The pooled rate of osteoporosis was 18% (95% CI: 12%-23%; P < 0.001; I 2 = 86.3%), and the pooled rate of osteopenia was 39% (95% CI: 31%-48%; P < 0.001; I 2 = 91.53%). In the systematic review, factors associated with decreased bone mineral density included smoking, alcohol consumption, older age, female sex, low body mass index, decreased vitamins D and K, and fecal elastase levels. DISCUSSION Patients with CP have high rates of osteopathy when assessed with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry imaging. Additional studies with longitudinal follow-up are needed to understand the observed heterogeneity, the cumulative burden of disease, and rate of bone loss in CP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic bone disease is frequently found in patients with coeliac disease (CD). Despite its high prevalence, international guidelines are partially discordant about its management due to the lack of long-term data. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated a large dataset of prospectively collected data of CD patients assessing the variation of DXA parameters and estimated fracture risk according to the FRAX® score in a 10-year follow-up. Incident fractures are reported, and the predictive ability of the FRAX® score is verified. RESULTS We identified 107 patients with low bone density (BMD) at the diagnosis of CD and a 10-year follow-up. After improving at the first follow-up, T-scores slowly reduced over time but with no clinically relevant differences between the first and last examination (lumbar spine: from - 2.07 to - 2.07, p = 1.000; femoral neck: from - 1.37 to - 1.55, p = 0.006). Patients with osteoporosis at the index measurement had more marked fluctuations than those with osteopenia; the latter group also showed minimal modifications of the FRAX® score over time. Six incident major fragility fractures occurred, with a good predictive ability of the FRAX® (AUC 0.826). CONCLUSION Adult CD patients with osteopenia and no risk factors had substantially stable DXA parameters and fracture risk during a 10-year follow-up. A dilated interval between follow-up DXA for these patients could be considered to reduce diagnosis-related time and costs, maintaining a 2-year interval for patients with osteoporosis or risk factors.

Abstract
PURPOSE To review the rising prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in sub-Saharan Africa and the challenges this poses to governments and healthcare services. Using existing studies, we compare the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in men and women from sub-Saharan Africa to US and UK cohorts. Context-specific disparities in healthcare are discussed particularly the challenges in diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis. RECENT FINDINGS There are few epidemiological data describing the burden of osteoporosis in sub-Saharan Africa. In the studies and cohorts presented here, osteoporosis prevalence varies by sex, country and area of residence, but is generally higher in African populations, than has previously been appreciated. Risk factors contributing to poorer bone health include HIV, malnutrition and "inflammaging." Reprioritization towards care of ageing populations is urgently required. Equitable access to implementable preventative strategies, diagnostic services, treatments and pathways of care for bone health (for example embedded within HIV services) need now to be recognized and addressed by policy makers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children living with perinatally acquired HIV (CLWH) survive into adulthood on antiretroviral therapy (ART). HIV, ART, and malnutrition can all lead to low bone mineral density (BMD). Few studies have described bone health among CLWH in Sub-Saharan Africa. We determined the prevalence and factors associated with low BMD among CLWH switching to second-line ART in the CHAPAS-4 trial (ISRCTN22964075) in Uganda. METHODS BMD was determined using dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). BMD Z-scores were adjusted for age, sex, height and race. Demographic characteristics were summarized using median interquartile range (IQR) for continuous variables and proportions for categorical variables. Logistic regression was used to determine the associations between each variable and low BMD. RESULTS A total of 159 children were enrolled (50% male) with median age (IQR) 10 (7-12) years, median duration of first -line ART 5.2(3.3-6.8) years; CD4 count 774 (528-1083) cells/mm3, weight-for-age Z-score -1.36 (-2.19, -0.65) and body mass index Z-score (BMIZ) -1.31 (-2.06, -0.6). Low (Z-score≤ -2) total body less head (TBLH) BMD was observed in 28 (18%) children, 21(13%) had low lumbar spine (LS) BMD, and15 (9%) had both. Low TBLH BMD was associated with increasing age (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.37; 95% CI: 1.13-1.65, p = 0.001), female sex (aOR: 3.8; 95% CL: 1.31-10.81, p = 0.014), low BMI (aOR 0.36:95% CI: 0.21-0.61, p<0.001), and first-line zidovudine exposure (aOR: 3.68; 95% CI: 1.25-10.8, p = 0.018). CD4 count, viral load and first- line ART duration were not associated with TBLH BMD. Low LS BMD was associated with increasing age (aOR 1.42; 95% CI: 1.16-1.74, p = 0.001) and female sex: (aOR 3.41; 95% CI: 1.18-9.8, p = 0.023). CONCLUSION Nearly 20% CLWH failing first-line ART had low BMD which was associated with female sex, older age, first-line ZDV exposure, and low BMI. Prevention, monitoring, and implications following transition to adult care should be prioritized to identify poor bone health in HIV+adolescents entering adulthood.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Chronic pancreatitis results in irreversible pancreatic dysfunction and malnutrition which, alongside excess alcohol intake, can increase the risk of low bone density. Osteoporosis increases the risk of fractures and chronic bone pain, reduces quality of life, and poses considerable costs to healthcare. Despite this, there remains a paucity of literature evaluating bone health in this patient population. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the prevalences of osteopaenia, osteoporosis and fractures in patients with chronic pancreatitis. METHODS A comprehensive search of Medline, Embase, ClinicalTrials.gov, and CENTRAL databases was undertaken to identify eligible studies from January 2000 to May 2022. The prevalences of osteopenia, osteoporosis and fragility fractures were extracted from the included studies. Where available, a subgroup analysis was performed to compare the likelihood of developing osteoporosis in patients with chronic pancreatitis compared with control. RESULTS Nineteen studies reporting on 2,027,764 participants (20,460 with chronic pancreatitis and 2,007,304 controls) were included. The pooled prevalence of osteoporosis was 19% (95% CI 13 to 26%; I2 = 94%). Patients with chronic pancreatitis were more likely to have osteoporosis when compared with those in the control group (OR 2.80, 95% CI 1.86 to 4.21; I2 = 21%). The prevalences of osteopaenia and fractures in patients with chronic pancreatitis were 37% (95% CI 31 to 44%; I2 = 81%) and 14% (95% CI 7 to 22%; I2 = 99%) respectively. CONCLUSION The prevalences of osteopenia and osteoporosis are significant in patients with chronic pancreatitis and can increase the risk of developing fractures. Further population-based studies are required to evaluate the disease burden of osteoporotic fractures and associated morbidity and mortality in chronic pancreatitis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disease characterized by the presence of systemic inflammation, manifesting not only as gastrointestinal symptoms but also as extraintestinal bone complications, including osteopenia and osteoporosis. However, the association between IBD and osteoporosis is complex, and the presence of multifactorial participants in the development of osteoporosis is increasingly recognized. Unlike in adults, delayed puberty and growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor-1 axis abnormalities are essential risk factors for osteoporosis in pediatric patients with IBD. AREAS COVERED This article reviews the potential pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to osteoporosis in adult and pediatric patients with IBD and provides evidence for effective prevention and treatment, focusing on pediatric patients with IBD. A search was performed from PubMed and Web of Science inception to February 2023 to identify articles on IBD, osteoporosis, pediatric, and fracture risk. EXPERT OPINION A comprehensive treatment pattern based on individualized principles can be used to manage pediatric IBD-related osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteopenia and osteoporosis, are prevalent skeletal systemic conditions, cause weaker bones and an increased risk of fragility fractures. This work is aimed to evaluate the relation between bone-remolding markers and genotypes of four single nucleotide polymorphisms in young Saudi females (rs2297480 of farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FDPS), rs3736228 of Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5), rs1234612 of sclerostin (SOST), and rs9934438 of Vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) ). For this purpose, 750 premenopausal females aged 18 to 40 years old, either university students, postgraduates, or university employees were recruited and divided into three groups according to bone mineral density BMD (g/cm2) divided by T score into osteoporosis (n = 12), osteopenia (n = 147), and normal (n = 591). Serum SOST, BALP, calcium, phosphate, ALP, albumin, beta-CTXs and human VDR levels were determined. TaqMan SNP Genotyping assays were used to genotype four polymorphisms using real-time PCR (applied biosystem). Results showed that BALP, CTX-1 and SOST were significantly higher in the osteoporosis and osteopenia groups than in the normal group. Bone mineral density readings were considerably lower in females with the GG genotype in FDPS rs2297480 and TT genotype in LRP5 rs3736228, which increase the risk for osteopenia by 3. 6-fold and 3. 06-fold than control respectively. Also, females with the TT genotype in LRP5 rs3736228 have decreased average values for Bone Mineral Density. In conclusion, the GG genotype of FDPS rs2297480 and the TT genotype of LRP5 rs3736228 was shown to be strongly associated with osteopenia in young Saudi females with low bone mineral density and SOST levels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Bone loss is a common morbidity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Bone mineral density (BMD) measurement is recommended for IBD patients at a high risk of osteoporosis. However, there is a lack of evidence in the need of BMD measurement in patients who are young at the first disease onset. In this study we aimed to investigate the prevalence of low BMD in patients with newly diagnosed Crohn's disease (CD) at 20-50 years of age and the potential risk factors. METHODS A single-center, retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted. Medical records of the patients were reviewed and their demographics, clinical characteristics and laboratory test results were collected. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan was performed for BMD measurements; low BMD was defined as Z-score or T-score <-1.0 standard deviation (SD). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the risk factors for low BMD. RESULTS A total of 221 patients with CD were included; osteopenia and osteoporosis were identified in 23.1% and 8.6%, and 39.4% and 7.2% of the patients using Z-score and T-score, respectively. Female gender and a higher BMI at diagnosis were protective factors for low BMD. CONCLUSIONS Low BMD is common in patients with newly diagnosed CD aged 20-50 years. Female gender and a higher BMI at diagnosis might protect CD patients from bone loss. Therefore, BMD measurement and early intervention with calcium and vitamin D are recommended for these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the associations of hormone preparations with lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD), osteopenia, and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, and whether these impacts persisted after hormone preparations were discontinued. METHODS A total of 6,031 postmenopausal women were enrolled and divided into seven groups based on the types of hormone preparations. Among them, 1,996 participants were further divided into a current users (CU) group and a past users (PU) group. Multivariable linear regression models or logistic regression models were used to evaluate the associations of hormone preparation with lumbar spine BMD, osteopenia, and osteoporosis. RESULTS Combined oral contraceptive pills, estrogen-only pills, estrogen/progestin combo pills, estrogen-only patches, or the use of more than two kinds of hormone preparations were positively associated with lumbar spine BMD (all P < 0.05). Except for estrogen-only patches, other hormone preparations also had a protective effect against osteopenia (all OR < 1, all P < 0.05), but none of them were associated with osteoporosis prevalence (all P > 0.05). The BMD increased by 0.10 and 0.04 g/cm 2 in the CU and PU groups, respectively, compared with the nonusers group (all P < 0.05). In both the CU and PU groups, the risk of osteopenia was reduced (OR, 0.34 and 0.57, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Hormone preparations increase lumbar spine BMD in postmenopausal women and exert a protective effect against osteopenia. These impacts persisted after hormone preparations were discontinued. Hormone preparations, however, were not associated with osteoporosis prevalence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES HIV infection impairs bone density in children living with HIV (CLWH). We aimed to determine the prevalence of self-reported fracture (past or current), associated risk factors and disability, by HIV status in Zimbabwean children. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS We recruited CLWH aged 8-16 years taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) for ≥2 years from HIV clinics, and HIV-uninfected children from schools in Harare. Interviewer-administered questionnaires collected data on fracture site and management, sociodemographics, dietary calcium and vitamin D, physical activity and HIV history. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measured size-adjusted bone density. RESULTS We recruited 303 CLWH [mean (SD) age 12.5 (2.5) years; 50% female] and 306 children without HIV [12.5 (2.5) years; 51% female]. Median age at HIV diagnosis in CLWH was 3.0 years [interquartile range (IQR) 1.2, 5.9], and median ART duration 8.1 years [IQR 6.2, 9.5]. 53.8% CLWH had self-reported disability and/or functional impairment, vs. 29.4% children without HIV. Fracture prevalence was 5.9% with no difference by HIV status [21/306 (6.9%) vs. 14/303 (4.6%), P = 0.24]. Male sex was associated with fractures. Low size-adjusted bone density ( Z -score < -2) was associated with prevalent fractures in CLWH {risk ratio [RR] 1.14 (95% confidence interval (CI) -0.02, 2.29]}, but not in children without HIV [RR -0.04 (-2.00, 1.91)], P -interaction = 0.27. All sought medical attention for their fracture(s), but CLWH were less often admitted to hospital [2/14 (14.3%) vs. 7/21 (33.3%)]. CONCLUSION Prevalent fractures may be associated with low lumbar spine bone density in CLWH. Fracture surveillance and strategies to reduce future fracture risk are warranted as CLWH enter adulthood.

Abstract
Objective Bile acids have underlying protective effects on bones structure. Long-term diabetes also causes skeletal disorders including osteoporosis, Charcot arthropathy and renal osteodystrophy. Nevertheless, few studies have reported whether bile acid is associated with bone metabolism in diabetics. This study aimed to explore the relationship between total bile acid (TBA) and bone mineral density (BMD) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods We retrospectively included 1,701 T2DM patients who were hospitalized in Taian City Central Hospital (TCCH), Shandong Province, China between January 2017 to December 2019. The participants were classified into the osteopenia (n = 573), osteoporosis (n= 331) and control groups (n= 797) according to BMD in the lumbar spine and femoral. The clinical parameters, including TBA, bilirubin, vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase were compared between groups. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between TBA and BMD in lumbar spine, femoral, trochiter, ward's triangle region. A logistic regression was conducted to develop a TBA-based diagnostic model for differentiating abnormal bone metabolism from those with normal BMD. We evaluated the performance of model using ROC curves. Results The TBA level was significantly higher in patients with osteoporosis (Median[M]= 3.300 μmol/L, interquartile range [IQR] = 1.725 to 5.250 μmol/L) compared to the osteopenia group (M = 3.200 μmol/L, IQR = 2.100 to 5.400 μmol/L) and control group (M = 2.750 μmol/L, IQR = 1.800 to 4.600 μmol/L) (P <0.05). Overall and subgroup analyses indicated that TBA was negatively associated with BMD after adjusted for the co-variates (i.e., age, gender, diabetes duration, BMI, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, indirect bilirubin) (P <0.05). Logistic regression revealed that higher TBA level was associated with increased risk for abnormal bone metabolism (OR = 1.044, 95% CI = 1.005 to 1.083). A TBA-based diagnostic model was established to identify individuals with abnormal bone metabolism (T-score ≤ -1.0). The area under ROC curve (AUC) of 0.767 (95% CI = 0.730 to 0.804). Conclusion Our findings demonstrated the potential role of bile acids in bone metabolism among T2DM patients. The circulating TBA might be employed as an indicator of abnormal bone metabolism.

World J Gastroenterol 2023; 29:1374-1394. [PMID: 36925454 PMCID: PMC10011962 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v29.i8.1374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2022] [Revised: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone disease is an under-recognized cause of morbidity in chronic pancreatitis (CP). Over the past decade, publications of original studies on bone disease in CP has warranted synthesis of the evidence to ascertain the true burden of the problem.
AIM To quantify the prevalence of osteopenia, osteoporosis, and fragility fractures in CP patients and investigate the associated clinical features and outcomes.
METHODS A systematic search identified studies investigating bone disease in CP patients from Cochrane Library, Embase, Google Scholar, Ovid Medline, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, from inception until October 2022. The outcomes included prevalence of osteopenia, osteoporosis, and fragility fractures, which were meta-analyzed using a random-effects model and underwent metaregression to delineate association with baseline clinical features.
RESULTS Twenty-one studies were included for systematic review and 18 studies were included for meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in CP patients was 41.2% (95%CI: 35.2%-47.3%) and 20.9% (95%CI: 14.9%-27.6%), respectively. The pooled prevalence of fragility fractures described among CP was 5.9% (95%CI: 3.9%-8.4%). Meta-regression revealed significant association of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) use with prevalence of osteoporosis [coefficient: 1.7 (95%CI: 0.6-2.8); P < 0.0001]. We observed no associations with mean age, sex distribution, body mass index, alcohol or smoking exposure, diabetes with prevalence of osteopenia, osteoporosis or fragility fractures. Paucity of data on systemic inflammation, CP severity, and bone mineralization parameters precluded a formal meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION This meta-analysis confirms significant bone disease in patients with CP. Other than PERT use, we observed no patient or study-specific factor to be significantly associated with CP-related bone disease. Further studies are needed to identify confounders, at-risk population, and to understand the mechanisms of CP-related bone disease and the implications of treatment response.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:3448.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a progressive metabolic bone disorder characterised by a decline in bone mineral density (BMD). Some previous studies have reported a controversial relationship between uric acid and osteoporosis. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the association between serum uric acid levels and BMD in older adults from Taiwan. Data from participants aged ≥ 60 years were collected from 2008 to 2018. Furthermore, the participants were classified based on uric acid level quartiles. Regression models were used to assess the association between uric acid levels and bone health, including BMD values and risk of at least osteopenia. Crude and adjusted models of potential confounders, including age, sex and body mass index (BMI), were used. Compared with the first quartile of uric acid levels, the odds ratios for osteoporosis decreased in the higher uric acid level groups after adjustment for age, sex and BMI. The boxplot analysis showed that BMD values were higher in the groups with higher uric acid levels; moreover, the results of the multivariable linear regression model showed a consistent pattern. Notably, uric acid levels were positively correlated with BMD values. Higher uric acid levels in the elderly population might decrease the risk of at least osteopenia. As opposed to the anti-hyperuricemic policy for younger adults with a relatively lower risk of osteoporosis, BMD evaluation and urate-lowering therapy, goal adjustments should be considered for older adults with lower uric acid levels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim: To assess the structural and functional state of bone tissue in terms of gender and age. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and Methods: 108 people aged 54.7±14.8 years, who were divided into two groups according to gender, participated in the retrospective cohort study. All patients underwent ultrasound densitometry to assess bone mineral density (BMD) on the radial bone with an assessment of T-score, Z-score, and speed of ultrasonic wave propagation (SoS). RESULTS Results: The study found that T-score and Z-score values, which corresponded to osteoporosis, were recorded in the age group > 50 years, regardless of the gender of the subjects. All women older than 35 years had a decrease in BMD below -1.0 SD by T-score. It was determined that osteoporosis criteria clearly prevail in women of the > 50-year-old group. In osteoporosis, the SoS is significantly lower than in individuals with normal indicators of the T-criterion. According to the results of the T-score comparison, BMD disorders were determined in postmenopausal women which emphasize the importance of the level of female sex hormones in the formation of osteopenic syndrome, in contrast to men, in whom no changes in the state of bone tissue were recorded. CONCLUSION Conclusions: The results of the research prove the prevalence of osteopenic syndrome in terms of age and gender, with an emphasis on women aged 50 years and older. Screening for BMD disorders using ultrasound densitometry is appropriate and allows taking measures to prevent the progression of osteoporosis in the early stages.

Risk and determinants of low and very low bone mineral density and fractures in a national cohort of Dutch adult childhood cancer survivors (DCCSS-LATER): a cross-sectional study. Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2023; 11:21-32.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Childhood cancer survivors are at risk of developing skeletal comorbidities later in life. We aimed to assess risk factors for low and very low bone mineral density (BMD), and the risk of and risk factors for any fractures and vertebral fractures in a national cohort of Dutch adult childhood cancer survivors. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we used data from the DCCSS LATER cohort, which comprised individuals who were alive for at least 5 years after diagnosis of childhood cancer (ie, histologically confirmed malignancies or Langerhans cell histiocytosis), were diagnosed before the age of 19 years, and who had been treated at one of seven Dutch paediatric oncology centres between 1963 and 2002 (hereafter referred to as survivors). For this study, we invited survivors aged 18-45 years, who were alive as of Oct 10, 2016, living in the Netherlands, and who were deemed eligible by their treating physician to participate. We assessed BMD using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Self-reported fractures that occurred at least 5 years after cancer diagnosis were assessed using available medical history and compared with population-level data from the Swedish national registry. We assessed vertebral fractures in a subset of participants using a vertebral fracture assessment. We assessed associations between the occurrence of low (Z-score of ≤-1) or very low (Z-score of ≤-2) BMD, fractures, and vertebral fractures and demographic, treatment-related, endocrine, and lifestyle-related factors using logistic regression analysis. FINDINGS Between April 29, 2016, and Jan 22, 2020, 3996 (64·8%) of 6165 individuals from the DCCSS LATER cohort were invited to participate, of whom 2003 (50·1%) were enrolled (mean age at participation was 33·1 years [SD 7·2], 966 [48·2%] were female, and 1037 [51·8%] were male [data on ethnicity and race were not available due to national policies]). 1548 (77·3%) had evaluable DXA scans for assessment of BMD, 1892 (94·5%) provided medical history of fractures, and 249 (12·4%) were assessed for vertebral fractures. 559 (36·1%) of 1548 had low BMD at any site, and 149 (9·6%) had very low BMD at any site. The standardised incidence ratio of any first fracture was 3·53 (95% CI 3·06-4·06) for male participants and 5·35 (4·46-6·52) for female participants. 33 (13·3%) of 249 participants had vertebral fractures. Male sex, underweight, high carboplatin dose, any dose of cranial radiotherapy, hypogonadism, hyperthyroidism, low physical activity, and severe vitamin D deficiency were associated with low BMD at any site and male sex, underweight, cranial radiotherapy, growth hormone deficiency, and severe vitamin D deficiency were associated with very low BMD at any site. Additionally, male sex, former and current smoking, and very low lumbar spine BMD were associated with any fractures, whereas older age at follow-up, previous treatment with platinum compounds, growth hormone deficiency, and low physical activity were specifically associated with vertebral fractures. INTERPRETATION Survivors of childhood cancer are at increased risk of any first fracture. Very low lumbar spine BMD was associated with fractures, highlighting the importance of active BMD surveillance in high-risk survivors (ie, those treated with cranial, craniospinal, or total body irradiation). Moreover, our results indicate that intensive surveillance and timely interventions for endocrine disorders and vitamin deficiencies might improve bone health in childhood cancer survivors, but this needs to be assessed in future studies.

Abstract
As more accurate diagnostic tools and targeted therapies become increasingly available for pediatric metabolic bone diseases, affected children have a better prognosis and significantly longer lifespan. With this potential for fulfilling lives as adults comes the need for dedicated transition and intentional care of these patients as adults. Much work has gone into improving the transitions of medically fragile children into adulthood, encompassing endocrinologic conditions like type 1 diabetes mellitus and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. However, there are gaps in the literature regarding similar guidance concerning metabolic bone conditions. This article intends to provide a brief review of research and guidelines for transitions of care more generally, followed by a more detailed treatment of bone disorders specifically. Considerations for such transitions include final adult height, fertility, fetal risk, heritability, and access to appropriately identified specialists. A nutrient-dense diet, optimal mobility, and adequate vitamin D stores are protective factors for these conditions. Primary bone disorders include hypophosphatasia, X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets, and osteogenesis imperfecta. Metabolic bone disease can also develop secondarily as a sequela of such diverse exposures as hypogonadism, a history of eating disorder, and cancer treatment. This article synthesizes research by experts of these specific disorders to describe what is known in this field of transition medicine for metabolic bone diseases as well as unanswered questions. The long-term objective is to develop and implement strategies for successful transitions for all patients affected by these various conditions.
