Abstract
Background The adult human skeleton is composed of cortical and cancellous bone. The proportions of these two types of bone tissue differ in various parts of the skeleton. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to quantify the determinants of bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content in various regions of interest (ROIs) in smokers and never-smokers. Methods In this study, 4,332 bone scans of three regions of interest (ROIs) were analyzed: the forearm (distal and proximal), femur, and lumbar spine. Body composition and bone parameters were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Smoking was measured using the Global Adult Tobacco Survey questionnaire. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated, and physical activity (PA) was characterized by the metabolic equivalent of task (MET). Results Among women, the interaction between PA (positive β coefficient) and smoking (negative β coefficient) was a significant predictor of BMD in the distal and proximal forearm (adj. R2 = 0.40 and R2 = 0.58; p < 0.001). The interaction of three variables-age, smoking (negative β), and MET (positive β)-was significant for total hip BMD (adj. R2 = 0.54; p < 0.001). The interaction between BMI and MET (positive β) and smoking (negative β) was significant for BMD in the lumbar spine (adj. R2 = 0.62; p < 0.001). In men, the interaction between MET (positive β) and smoking (negative β) was significant for BMD in the forearm and lumbar spine (adj. R2 = 0.44, R2 = 0.46, and R2 = 0.49; p < 0.01). Smoking alone was a significant negative predictor of total hip BMD (adj. R2 = 0.34; p < 0.001). Conclusion Among both women and men, never-smokers had significantly better bone parameters than smokers. Smoking was a significant negative predictor for BMD in the various ROIs in both women and men. Physical activity was a significant positive predictor of BMD, with a strong association with bone parameters.

PLoS One 2024; 19:e0309936. [PMID: 39236022 PMCID: PMC11376574 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0309936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 08/17/2024] [Indexed: 09/07/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the hypothesis that an increase in response of postmenopausal bone to interval walking training (IWT) depends on baseline bone mineral densities (BMDs). METHODS Two hundred and thirty-four postmenopausal women (64±5 (SD) yr) with no medication for osteoporosis performed 5-month IWT, repeating fast and slow walking at ≥70% and ~40% peak aerobic capacity, respectively, for 3 minutes each per set, ≥5 sets/day, ≥4 days/week. They were recruited from those who had performed IWT ≥6 months before participating in the study so that their physical fitness and lifestyle-related disease symptoms had almost reached a steady state at the time of their participation. We measured BMDs for the lumbar spine (LS), bilateral femoral neck (FN), and bilateral total hip (TH) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) before and after the intervention. We used a multiple regression analysis to identify significant independent factors for increasing BMDs after the intervention as baseline physical characteristics, exercise intensity, and exercise time during IWT were the candidates. For any bone site where the independent factor identified was singular, we analyzed the relationship between the identified factor vs increases in BMD after the intervention (ΔBMD) by the locally weighted scatterplot smoothing (LOWESS) method. RESULTS Almost all subjects completed the designated protocol with minimal adverse events. We found that significant determinants for increasing BMDs were the baseline BMDs for all bone sites, as well as age and body mass index for TH (all, P<0.02). Furthermore, the LOWESS trendline between ΔBMDs vs the baseline BMDs, divided equally into 10 bins for LS and FN, respectively, showed that ΔBMD responses (Y) were attenuated as the baseline BMDs (X) increased in the lower 4 bins and then showed a flat line (Y = ~0) in the remaining higher 6 bins for LS and FN. When the lower 4 bins and the higher 6 bins of the baseline BMD were pooled, respectively, BMDs significantly increased by 1.8% and 1.0% in the lower groups for LS and FN, respectively (both, P<0.001) while not in the higher groups after the intervention (both, P>0.3). CONCLUSIONS IWT may be of benefit with minimal adverse events to postmenopausal women, although the effects were greater in those with lower baseline BMDs.

Abstract
Background: To minimize fracture risk, multimodal training regimens are recommended. However, their effectiveness in community settings remains uncertain. This study evaluated the feasibility of 19-weeks of multimodal training in a local community center with emphasis on musculoskeletal health in postmenopausal women. Methods: In a controlled trial, 28 postmenopausal women (53-68-years-old) were assigned to a multimodal training group (MMT, n=15) or a control group (CON, n=13). The training consisted of high- and odd-impact, resistance and balance-coordination training 1-2 hours weekly. The outcomes were attendance rate, regional and total bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), bone turnover markers (BTM), body composition, functional muscle strength and power, and dynamic balance. All were determined at baseline and after 19 weeks of training. BTM was assessed after three weeks. Results: Overall, 22(79%) participants (MMT, n=9; CON, n=13) completed the study, and the mean attendance rate for MMT was 65.5% of the maximum sessions (2) offered. Only right trochanter BMD increased (p<0.05) by 1.0±1.1% in MMT, which was higher(p<0.05) than CON. While whole-body BMC was not changed at 19 weeks from baseline in MMT, it decreased (p<0.05) in CON resulting in a significant difference (p<0.05) in whole-body BMC delta values between the two groups. Compared to baseline, body fat percentage(%BF), fat mass(FM), and visceral adipose tissue (VAT)-mass and -volume were decreased (p<0.01) in MMT, and were larger (p<0.05) than CON. No significant changes were observed in BTM, muscle strength and power, and dynamic balance after 19 weeks. Conclusions: Nineteen weeks of multimodal training 1-2 hours per week in a local community had a health-enhancing effect on %BF, FM, and VAT, whereas the musculoskeletal health impact was modest. We hypothesize that the reason might be too low training volume and frequency and supposedly too low musculoskeletal training intensity for some participants.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Novel strategies are needed to address the rising burden of osteoporosis and fragility fractures. High-intensity resistance and impact (HiRIT) exercise has shown benefit in improving bone density in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis/osteopenia. Whether HiRIT can enhance the therapeutic effects of osteoporosis pharmacotherapy has not been established. ROLEX-DUO is a randomised controlled trial designed to assess the efficacy of romosozumab on various bone and muscle outcomes in combination with different exercise interventions in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis/osteopenia. METHODS AND ANALYSIS ROLEX-DUO is an 8-month randomised placebo-controlled trial conducted at two tertiary referral centres for patients with osteoporosis/osteopenia in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The study is implementing the combination of romosozumab or placebo with different forms of exercise in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis/osteopenia without recent fragility fracture (n=102). Eligible women will be randomised 1:1:1 into one of three groups: (1) romosozumab with supervised HiRIT, (2) romosozumab with unsupervised low-intensity exercise or (3) placebo with unsupervised low-intensity exercise. Co-primary outcomes are the mean percentage change in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD), and mean change in five times sit-to-stand test performance (seconds) at 8 months. Secondary/exploratory outcomes include BMD changes at the femoral neck, total hip and distal radius, three-dimensional dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) hip outcomes, DXA-derived lean and fat mass, serum markers of bone turnover (procollagen type 1 peptide, C-telopeptide of type 1 collagen) and bone biomarkers (dickkopf-1), serum extracellular vesicle analyses, 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) quality-of-life scores, Menopause-Specific Quality Of Life (MENQOL) Questionnaire menopause symptom burden scores, number of falls and fractures. Mixed-effects models will be performed to compare longitudinal outcome results between groups using intention-to-treat analysis. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The trial was approved by the Northern Sydney Local Health District Human Research Ethics Committee (2022/ETH01794, protocol V.8, dated 03 July 2024). Participants will provide written informed consent prior to inclusion. Findings will be disseminated via peer-reviewed journals, scientific conferences and summary reports to funding bodies. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ACTRN12623000867695.

Abstract
Designing appropriate diagnostic and treatment methods to reduce fall risk and improve quality of life, as well as reduce the cost of care in elderlies. Our findings have potential for early diagnosis of those with a high probability of falling based on fairly simple clinical measures of hyperkyphosis, forward head, and lordosis. INTRODUCTION Poor balance is an underlying cause of falling in the elderly, for which a change in the natural curvature of the spine plays a major role. Little is known about the relationship between spinal curvatures and fall incidence in this population. We primarily aimed to investigate the relationship between sagittal plane spinal curvatures and fall incidence over 1 year among nursing facility residents. Secondarily, we aim to determine associations of sagittal plane spinal curvatures with participants' perception of fall risk and balance capability. METHODS Participants (100 residents mean age 70.17 ± 6.01 years) underwent standing measures of sagittal plane spinal curvatures (flexible ruler technique) and forward displacement of the head relative to the cervical spine. The Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA) and Fall Efficacy Scale assessed participants' perception of balance and fear of falling. Incident falls were self-reported monthly and tracked across 1 year. Spearman's correlations and logistic regression evaluated associations between fall incidence and spinal curvature. Predictive performance of spinal curvature and fall risk was determined by the corresponding ROC for defining a cut-off for variables of spinal curvature and fall risk indicators. RESULTS Predictive performance of spinal curvature and fall risk factors indicated 84% and 77% of participants were correctly classified using models of kyphosis and head angle, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our study adds new data on spinal curvatures and incident falls among nursing facility residents. Efforts are needed to intervene to counter progression of spinal curvatures and improve fall prevention practices.

Abstract
Osteoporosis and low bone mineral density (BMD) pose significant challenges in adult spinal deformity surgery, increasing the risks of complications such as vertebral compression fractures, hardware failure, proximal junctional kyphosis/failure, and pseudoarthrosis. This narrative review examines the current evidence on bone health optimization strategies for spinal deformity patients. Preoperative screening and medical optimization are crucial, with vitamin D supplementation showing particular benefit. Among the pharmacologic agents, bisphosphonates demonstrate efficacy in improving fusion rates and reducing hardware-related complications, though the effects may be delayed. Teriparatide, a parathyroid hormone analog, shows promise in accelerating fusion and enhancing pedicle screw fixation. Newer anabolic agents like abaloparatide and romosozumab require further study but show potential. Romosozumab, in particular, has demonstrated significant improvements in lumbar spine BMD over a shorter duration compared to other treatments. Surgical techniques like cement augmentation and the use of larger interbody cages can mitigate the risks in osteoporotic patients. Overall, a multifaceted approach incorporating medical optimization, appropriate pharmacologic treatment, and tailored surgical techniques is recommended to improve outcomes in adult spinal deformity patients with compromised bone quality. Future research should focus on optimizing the treatment protocols, assessing the long-term outcomes of newer agents in the spine surgery population, and developing cost-effective strategies to improve access to these promising therapies.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, a condition defined by low BMD (typically < -2.5 SD), causes a higher fracture risk and leads to significant economic, social, and clinical impacts. Genome-wide studies mainly in Caucasians have found many genetic links to osteoporosis, fractures, and BMD, with limited research in East Asians (EAS). We investigated the genetic aspects of BMD in 86 716 individuals from the Taiwan Biobank and their causal links to health conditions within EAS. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted, followed by observational studies, polygenic risk score assessments, and genetic correlation analyses to identify associated health conditions linked to BMD. GWAS and gene-based GWAS studies identified 78 significant SNPs and 75 genes related to BMD, highlighting pathways like Hedgehog, WNT-mediated, and TGF-β. Our cross-trait linkage disequilibrium score regression analyses for BMD and osteoporosis consistently validated their genetic correlations with BMI and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in EAS. Higher BMD was linked to lower osteoporosis risk but increased BMI and T2D, whereas osteoporosis linked to lower BMI, waist circumference, hemoglobinA1c, and reduced T2D risk. Bidirectional Mendelian randomization analyses revealed that a higher BMI causally increases BMD in EAS. However, no direct causal relationships were found between BMD and T2D, or between osteoporosis and either BMI or T2D. This study identified key genetic factors for bone health in Taiwan, and revealed significant health conditions in EAS, particularly highlighting the genetic interplay between bone health and metabolic traits like T2D and BMI.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury is associated with skeletal unloading, sedentary behavior, decreases in skeletal muscle mass, and exercise intolerance, which results in rapid and severe bone loss. To date, monotherapy with physical interventions such as weight-bearing in standing frames, computer-controlled electrically stimulated cycling and ambulation exercise, and low-intensity vibration are unsuccessful in maintaining bone density after SCI. Strategies to maintain bone density with commonly used osteoporosis medications also fail to provide a significant clinical benefit, potentially due to a unique pathology of bone deterioration in SCI. In this review, the available data is discussed on evaluating and monitoring bone loss, fracture, and physical and pharmacological therapeutic approaches to SCI-associated disease of the skeleton. The treatment of SCI-associated disease of the skeleton, the implications for clinical management, and areas of need are considered for future investigation.

[PMID: 38876649 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbmt.2024.03.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 02/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this meta-analysis is to study the effect of different strengths of resistance training programs on the severity and frequency of hot flushes in postmenopausal women with vasomotor symptoms. BACKGROUND Menopause is defined as the state in which the menstrual cycle of a biological female spontaneously comes to a halt for a period of about 1 year. Through a detailed analysis of much of the research, it is found that the resistance training program is beneficial not only for reducing the severity as well as the frequency of hot flushes in postmenopausal women. MATERIALS AND METHODS Online research was conducted through databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Trial Register, and Google Scholar till the 20th of March 2023. The Review Manager (version 5.4.1) was used to statistically analyze the data from the studies. Studies meeting the inclusion criteria, comparing the vasomotor symptoms in resistance training groups as compared to control were used for this meta-analysis. The primary outcome of interest was the alleviation of hot flushes in the resistance training group. Random-effect model was used to pool the studies and the result was reported in SMD with 95% Confidence Interval (CI). RESULTS 5 studies were selected for this review. Statistical analysis shows that vasomotor symptoms were more common in the control group and decreased significantly in the resistance training group after the intervention (SMD = -1.31, 95% CI: -1.85 to -0.77, p = 0.002). CONCLUSION Resistance Training significantly affects vasomotor symptoms and can be considered for such symptoms in postmenopausal women.

J Adv Res 2024:S2090-1232(24)00247-9. [PMID: 38876191 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2024.06.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As people age, degenerative bone and joint diseases (DBJDs) become more prevalent. When middle-aged and elderly people are diagnosed with one or more disorders such as osteoporosis (OP), osteoarthritis (OA), and intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), it often signals the onset of prolonged pain and reduced functionality. Chronic inflammation has been identified as the underlying cause of various degenerative diseases, including DBJDs. Recently, excessive activation of pyroptosis, a form of programed cell death (PCD) mediated by inflammasomes, has emerged as a primary driver of harmful chronic inflammation. Consequently, pyroptosis has become a potential target for preventing and treating DBJDs. AIM OF REVIEW This review explored the physiological and pathological roles of the pyroptosis pathway in bone and joint development and its relation to DBJDs. Meanwhile, it elaborated the molecular mechanisms of pyroptosis within individual cell types in the bone marrow and joints, as well as the interplay among different cell types in the context of DBJDs. Furthermore, this review presented the latest compelling evidence supporting the idea of regulating the pyroptosis pathway for DBJDs treatment, and discussed the potential, limitations, and challenges of various therapeutic strategies involving pyroptosis regulation. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW In summary, an interesting identity for the unregulated pyroptosis pathway in the context of DBJDs was proposed in this review, which was undertaken as a spoiler of peaceful coexistence between cells in a degenerative environment. Over the extended course of DBJDs, pyroptosis pathway perpetuated its activity through crosstalk among pyroptosis cascades in different cell types, thus exacerbating the inflammatory environment throughout the entire bone marrow and joint degeneration environment. Correspondingly, pyroptosis regulation therapy emerged as a promising option for clinical treatment of DBJDs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries in US trail sports are understudied as trail sport popularity grows. This study describes MSK injury patterns among hikers, trail runners, and mountain bikers from 2002 through 2021 and investigates MSK injury trends acquired during mountain sports. METHODS The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) was used to identify US emergency department (ED) patients from 2002-2021 (inclusive) who endured MSK injuries during hiking, trail running, or mountain biking. Injury rates and national estimates were calculated across demographics. RESULTS 9835 injuries were included (48.4% male, 51.6% female). Injuries increased over time, with 1213 from 2002-2005 versus 2417 from 2018-2021. No sex differences existed before 2010, after which female injury rates exceeded those of males. The following findings were statistically significant, with P<0.05: females endured more fractures and strains/sprains; males endured more lacerations; concussions and head injuries were higher among those <18 y; dislocations and strains/sprains were higher for 18 to 65 y; fractures were higher for >65 y; <18 y had high mountain-biking and low running rates; 18 to 65 y had high running rates; and >65 y had low biking and running rates. Although all diagnoses increased in number over time, no significant differences existed in the proportion of any given diagnosis relative to total injuries. CONCLUSIONS MSK injuries during trail sports have increased since 2002. Males endured more injuries until 2009, after which females endured more. Significant sex and age differences were found regarding injury diagnosis and body parts. Further studies are needed to confirm these trends and their causes.

Abstract
Alleviating bone loss is an essential way to prevent osteoporotic fractures. Proper exercise improves bone density without the side effects of long-term medications, but the mechanism is unclear. Our study explored the role of Antxr1/LncRNA H19/Wnt/β-catenin axis in the process of exercise-mediated alleviation of bone loss. Here we discovered that moderate-intensity treadmill exercise alleviates bone loss caused by ovariectomy and ameliorates bone strength accompanied by an increased lncRNA H19 expression. Concomitantly, Antxr1, a mechanosensitive protein was found downregulated by exercise but upregulated by ovariectomy. Interestingly, knockdown expression of Antxr1 increased lncRNA H19 expression and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, whereas overexpression of Antxr1 decreased lncRNA H19 expression and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Hence, our study demonstrates the regulation of Antxr1/LncRNA H19/Wnt/β-catenin axis in the process of mechanical strain-induced osteogenic differentiation, which provides further mechanistic insight into the role of mechanical regulation in bone metabolism.

Twelve-month resistance and impact exercise program or risedronate provides a relative benefit to hip bone structure in postmenopausal women: results from a randomized controlled trial. Osteoporos Int 2024; 35:877-891.

Abstract
Bone strength estimates are important for fracture prevention. This study compared bone strength changes in postmenopausal women with low bone mass who were assigned to 12 months of exercise, a bone medication, or control. Exercise and bone medications benefited structure at the hip. Structure should be considered in fracture prevention research. PURPOSE Exercise and bisphosphonates reduce fracture risk, but their impact on estimates of bone strength remains uncertain. This study compared changes in tibial bone strength using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) and hip structure analysis (HSA) outcomes from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans in postmenopausal women with low bone mass assigned to 12 months of exercise, risedronate, or control. METHODS In this RCT, 276 postmenopausal women within 6 years of menopause were randomly assigned to three groups: exercise (92), risedronate (91), or control (93). Exercise included weighted jogging and progressive resistance exercises; risedronate treatment was 150 mg monthly; all groups received calcium and vitamin D. pQCT and DXA images were obtained at baseline and 6 and 12 months and compared between groups over time. RESULTS Participants had a mean (± SD) age of 54.5 (± 3.2) years with an average of 36.7 (± 40.7) months postmenopause. No significant differences were found between groups for the change in pQCT outcomes (volumetric bone mineral density, area, and strength estimates). At 12 months, mean percent differences (95% CI) in HSA measures between exercise and controls were as follows: intertrochanteric, cross-sectional area 2.25% (0.28, 4.12) (p = .03), cross-sectional moment of inertia (CSMI) 5.67% (1.47, 9.87) (p < .01), and section modulus (SM) 4.38% (1.02, 7.74) (p = .01), and narrow neck, average cortical thickness 2.37% (-0.08, 4.83) (p = .031). Mean percent differences (95% CI) in HSA measures between risedronate and control were as follows: intertrochanteric, CSMI 4.28% (-0.24, 8.81) (p = .03) and SM 3.35% (-0.21, 6.91) (p = .03), and shaft, subperiosteal width 0.82% (0.05, 1.58) (p = .047), CSMI 2.53% (0.88, 4.18) (p = .004), and SM 1.57% (0.34, 2.8) (p = .008). Exercise maintained neck-shaft angle compared to both control 1.27% (0.13, 2.41) (p = .04) and risedronate 1.31% (0.23, 2.39) (p = .03). All other differences for changes in HSA outcomes over time were not significantly different between the exercise and risedronate groups. CONCLUSION Exercise and bisphosphonates may influence structural and strength estimates at the hip, but not at peripheral sites (tibia). Neither exercise nor bisphosphonates were found to be superior in improving estimates of hip bone strength.

[PMID: 38694220 PMCID: PMC11061362 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2024.1388647] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The current study aimed to explore the associations of diet quality assessed by healthy eating index-2015 (HEI-2015) with risks of osteoporosis and low bone mineral density (BMD) among American postmenopausal women aged 50 years and older. Methods Postmenopausal women aged 50 years and older in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007 through 2018 were included in the final sample. Analysis of variance and Rao-Scott adjusted chi-square tests were used to compare the characteristics across tertiles of HEI-2015. Univariate and multivariate weighted logistic regression models were employed to explore the associations of HEI-2015 tertiles and continuous HEI-2015 with the risks of osteoporosis and low BMD. Nonlinear dose-response associations were evaluated using weighted restricted cubic spline analyses, and the contributions of various HEI-2015 components were assessed using weighted quantile sum regression models. Results The final sample included 3,421 postmenopausal women aged 50 years and older representative for approximately 28.38 million non-institutionalized U.S. postmenopausal women. Osteoporosis prevalence decreased with HEI-2015 tertiles while the prevalence of low BMD showed no significant decrease. Compared with postmenopausal women in the first tertile of HEI-2015, those with the second (OR: 0.57, 95%CI: 0.38-0.84) and third (OR: 0.48, 95%CI: 0.29-0.78) HEI-2015 tertiles were associated with reduced osteoporosis risk after multivariate adjustments, but no significant association of HEI-2015 with the risk of BMD was identified. Furthermore, similar effects were confirmed in the sensitivity analyses and subgroup analyses and interaction effects. Moreover, significant nonlinear associations were observed between HEI-2015 with osteoporosis risk, and total vegetables, refined grains and greens and beans demonstrated the strongest protective effect among HEI-2015 components against osteoporosis. Conclusions This study strongly suggests the significant negative associations of HEI-2015 with osteoporosis risk in American postmenopausal women. These findings highlight the importance of adherence to the dietary guidelines for Americans in reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We examined the association between physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SEB) time with bone health and whether it changes depending on different patterns. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cross-sectional data were derived from the baseline of the Physical Activity and Health in Older Women Study. PA and SEB were measured using Actigraph wGT3X-BT accelerometers. Bone mineral density (BMD) was derived from the SONOST-2000 ultrasound bone densitometer, with unhealthy bone defined as a BMD T-score of <2.5 standard deviation a young adult reference population's mean. A 10 min-bouted SEB was defined as an SEB duration of >10 min (allow 2 min 0 counts), similar to 30 min-bouted and 60 min-bouted SEBs. Sporadic and bouted PAs were defined by PA duration of <10 min or ≥ 10 min. Multivariate logistic regression analysis investigated the associations between PA and SEB patterns with bone health. RESULTS Among 1111 female participants, 42.12 % had unhealthy bones. In a fully-adjusted model, increasing 30 min/day of SEB was associated with a higher odds ratio (OR) for an unhealthy bone (OR, 1.08; P = 0.005), similar to the 10 (OR, 1.06; P = 0.012), 30 (OR, 1.06; P = 0.043), and 60 min-bouted (OR 1.08, P = 0.032) SEBs. Total light PA (LPA) time (OR, 0.97; P = 0.005) had a lower OR for unhealthy bone. After adjusting for sporadic LPA time, bouted LPA (OR, 0.97; P = 0.005) retained this association. No association was observed between total moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) and bone health, sporadic MVPA, and bouted MVPA. CONCLUSIONS Performing bouted LPA and reducing 10 min-bouted SEB may maintain bone health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to examine the association of body composition, muscle strength, balance, and functional capacity on falls and fall injuries among community-dwelling older women. METHODS The study comprised of a 2-year randomized controlled trial involving 914 women with an average age of 76.5 (SD = 3.3) years at baseline. The women were assigned to exercise intervention (n = 457) and control groups (n = 457). Clinical measurements were conducted at baseline, 12 months and 24 months. RESULTS During the 2-year follow up, total of 546 women (59.7%) sustained a fall. The total number of falls was 1380 and out of these, 550 (40%) of falls were non-injurious and 745 (54%) were injurious. Higher femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) was associated with a higher overall risk of falls [RR = 2.55 (95% CI = 1.70-3.84, p < 0.001)], but was a protective factor for severe fall injuries [RR = 0.03 (95% CI = 0.003-0.035, p < 0.01)]. Slower Timed Up and Go (TUG) was associated with an increased overall risk of falls [RR = 1.07 (95% CI = 1.05-1.10, p < 0.001)] and injuries requiring medical attention [RR = 1.10 (95% CI = 1.02-1.19, p = 0.02)]. Longer single leg standing time was a protective factor for falls [RR = 0.99 (95% CI = 0.99-1.00, p < 0.01)] and overall injurious falls [RR = 0.99 (95% CI = 0.99-1.00, p = 0.02)]. CONCLUSION For postmenopausal women with higher femoral neck BMD appear to sustain more falls, but have a lower risk of severe fall injuries. Better TUG and single leg standing time predict lower risk of falls and fall injuries.

Abstract
Background Osteoporosis "OP" is classified as one of the most serious health conditions worldwide. OP increases the skeletal fracture risk by 35%, particularly at hip, spine, and wrist joints. Healthcare professionals should be aware of OP clinical signs and have good knowledge while managing all patients. Objectives This study aims to investigate the current level of osteoporosis knowledge and awareness among physical therapy providers in Saudi Arabia. Methods One hundred and sixty-eight physical therapy providers participated in this cross-sectional electronic survey from February to July of 2021. The participants completed the Osteoporosis Knowledge Assessment Tool questionnaire (OKAT). Descriptive analysis was utilized to assess the current level of osteoporosis knowledge among physical therapy providers. Results Among the 168 participants, 55% (n = 92) were over 31 years old and 45% (n = 76) were 30 years old or under. The majority of participants 37% (n = 62) had more than 10 years of experience, 45% (n = 76) mainly treat orthopedic conditions, and 70% (n = 117) live in the western region. The results showed that 67.9% (n = 114) of participants had good knowledge about osteoporosis, while 19.6% (n = 33) had poor knowledge, and only 12.5% (n = 21) had excellent knowledge. Conclusion Physical therapy providers in Saudi Arabia have a good knowledge of osteoporosis. The overall OP preventive measure knowledge questions were poor. It is crucial for physical therapy providers to act appropriately to prevent falls and mitigate any potential risks.

Buck HV, Stains JP. Osteocyte-mediated mechanical response controls osteoblast differentiation and function. Front Physiol 2024; 15:1364694.

Abstract
Low bone mass is a pervasive global health concern, with implications for osteoporosis, frailty, disability, and mortality. Lifestyle factors, including sedentary habits, metabolic dysfunction, and an aging population, contribute to the escalating prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis. The application of mechanical load to bone through physical activity and exercise prevents bone loss, while sufficient mechanical load stimulates new bone mass acquisition. Osteocytes, cells embedded within the bone, receive mechanical signals and translate these mechanical cues into biological signals, termed mechano-transduction. Mechano-transduction signals regulate other bone resident cells, such as osteoblasts and osteoclasts, to orchestrate changes in bone mass. This review explores the mechanisms through which osteocyte-mediated response to mechanical loading regulates osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. An overview of bone cell biology and the impact of mechanical load will be provided, with emphasis on the mechanical cues, mechano-transduction pathways, and factors that direct progenitor cells toward the osteoblast lineage. While there are a wide range of clinically available treatments for osteoporosis, the majority act through manipulation of the osteoclast and may have significant disadvantages. Despite the central role of osteoblasts to the deposition of new bone, few therapies directly target osteoblasts for the preservation of bone mass. Improved understanding of the mechanisms leading to osteoblastogenesis may reveal novel targets for translational investigation.

Abstract
Age-associated osteoporosis (AAOP) poses a significant health burden, characterized by increased fracture risk due to declining bone mass and strength. Effective prevention and early treatment strategies are crucial to mitigate the disease burden and the associated healthcare costs. Current therapeutic approaches effectively target the individual contributing factors to AAOP. Nonetheless, the management of AAOP is complicated by the multitude of variables that affect its development. Main intrinsic and extrinsic factors contributing to AAOP risk are reviewed here, including mechanical unloading, nutrient deficiency, hormonal disbalance, disrupted metabolism, cognitive decline, inflammation and circadian disruption. Furthermore, it is discussed how these can be targeted for prevention and treatment. Although valuable as individual targets for intervention, the interconnectedness of these risk factors result in a unique etiology for every patient. Acknowledgement of the multifaceted nature of AAOP will enable the development of more effective and sustainable management strategies, based on a holistic, patient-centered approach.

Soluble Klotho, a Potential Biomarker of Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral Bone Disorders Involved in Healthy Ageing: Lights and Shadows. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:1843.

Abstract
Shortly after the discovery of Klotho, interest grew in its potential role in chronic kidney disease (CKD). There are three isoforms of the Klotho protein: αKlotho, βKlotho and γKlotho. This review will focus on αKlotho due to its relevance as a biomarker in CKD. αKlotho is synthesized mainly in the kidneys, but it can be released into the bloodstream and urine as soluble Klotho (sKlotho), which undertakes systemic actions, independently or in combination with FGF23. It is usually accepted that sKlotho levels are reduced early in CKD and that lower levels of sKlotho might be associated with the main chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorders (CKD-MBDs): cardiovascular and bone disease. However, as results are inconsistent, the applicability of sKlotho as a CKD-MBD biomarker is still a matter of controversy. Much of the inconsistency can be explained due to low sample numbers, the low quality of clinical studies, the lack of standardized assays to assess sKlotho and a lack of consensus on sample processing, especially in urine. In recent decades, because of our longer life expectancies, the prevalence of accelerated-ageing diseases, such as CKD, has increased. Exercise, social interaction and caloric restriction are considered key factors for healthy ageing. While exercise and social interaction seem to be related to higher serum sKlotho levels, it is not clear whether serum sKlotho might be influenced by caloric restriction. This review focuses on the possible role of sKlotho as a biomarker in CKD-MBD, highlighting the difference between solid knowledge and areas requiring further research, including the role of sKlotho in healthy ageing.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Longitudinal effect of diet-induced obesity on bone is uncertain. Prior work showed both no effect and a decrement in bone density or quality when obesity begins prior to skeletal maturity. We aimed to quantify long-term effects of obesity on bone and bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) in adulthood. METHODS Skeletally mature, female C57BL/6 mice (n = 70) aged 12 weeks were randomly allocated to low-fat diet (LFD; 10% kcal fat; n = 30) or high-fat diet (HFD; 60% kcal fat; n = 30), with analyses at 12, 15, 18, and 24 weeks (n = 10/group). Tibial microarchitecture was analyzed by µCT, and volumetric BMAT was quantified via 9.4T MRI/advanced image analysis. Histomorphometry of adipocytes and osteoclasts, and qPCR were performed. RESULTS Body weight and visceral white adipose tissue accumulated in response to HFD started in adulthood. Trabecular bone parameters declined with advancing experimental age. BV/TV declined 22% in LFD (p = 0.0001) and 17% in HFD (p = 0.0022) by 24 weeks. HFD failed to appreciably alter BV/TV and had negligible impact on other microarchitecture parameters. Both dietary intervention and age accounted for variance in BMAT, with regional differences: distal femoral BMAT was more responsive to diet, while proximal femoral BMAT was more attenuated by age. BMAT increased 60% in the distal metaphysis in HFD at 18 and 24 weeks (p = 0.0011). BMAT in the proximal femoral diaphysis, unchanged by diet, decreased 45% due to age (p = 0.0002). Marrow adipocyte size via histomorphometry supported MRI quantification. Osteoclast number did not differ between groups. Tibial qPCR showed attenuation of some adipose, metabolism, and bone genes. A regulator of fatty acid β-oxidation, cytochrome C (CYCS), was 500% more abundant in HFD bone (p < 0.0001; diet effect). CYCS also increased due to age, but to a lesser extent. HFD mildly increased OCN, TRAP, and SOST. CONCLUSIONS Long-term high fat feeding after skeletal maturity, despite upregulation of visceral adiposity, body weight, and BMAT, failed to attenuate bone microarchitecture. In adulthood, we found aging to be a more potent regulator of microarchitecture than diet-induced obesity.

Abstract
Digital exercise therapies (DET) have the potential to bridge existing care gaps for people living with chronic conditions. Acting as either a standalone, embedded within multi-modal lifestyle therapy, or adjunct to pharmacotherapy or surgery, evidence-based DETs can favorably impact the health of a rapidly growing population. Given the nascent nature of digital therapeutics, the regulatory landscape has yet to mature. As such, in the absence of clear guidelines clinical digital product developers are responsible for ensuring the DET adheres to fundamental principles such as patient risk management and clinical effectiveness. The purpose of this narrative review paper is to discuss key considerations for clinical digital product developers who are striving to build novel digital therapeutic (DTx) solutions and thus contribute towards standardization of product development. We herein draw upon DET as an example, highlighting the need for adherence to existing clinical guidelines, human-centered design and an intervention approach that leverages the Chronic Care Model. Specific topics and recommendations related to the development of innovative and scalable products are discussed which ultimately allow for differentiation from a basic wellness tool and integration to clinical workflows. By embodying a code of ethics, clinical digital product developers can adequately address patients' needs and optimize their own future digital health technology assessments including appropriate evidence of safety and efficacy.

A novel non-invasive method for predicting bone mineral density and fracture risk using demographic and anthropometric measures. SPORTS MEDICINE AND HEALTH SCIENCE 2023; 5:308-313. [PMID: 38314040 PMCID: PMC10831384 DOI: 10.1016/j.smhs.2023.09.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Revised: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Fractures are costly to treat and can significantly increase morbidity. Although dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is used to screen at risk people with low bone mineral density (BMD), not all areas have access to one. We sought to create a readily accessible, inexpensive, high-throughput prediction tool for BMD that may identify people at risk of fracture for further evaluation. Anthropometric and demographic data were collected from 492 volunteers (♂275, ♀217; [44 ± 20] years; Body Mass Index (BMI) = [27.6 ± 6.0] kg/m2) in addition to total body bone mineral content (BMC, kg) and BMD measurements of the spine, pelvis, arms, legs and total body. Multiple-linear-regression with step-wise removal was used to develop a two-step prediction model for BMC followed by BMC. Model selection was determined by the highest adjusted R2, lowest error of estimate, and lowest level of variance inflation (α = 0.05). Height (HTcm), age (years), sexm=1, f=0, %body fat (%fat), fat free mass (FFMkg), fat mass (FMkg), leg length (LLcm), shoulder width (SHWDTHcm), trunk length (TRNKLcm), and pelvis width (PWDTHcm) were observed to be significant predictors in the following two-step model (p < 0.05). Step1: BMC (kg) = (0.006 3 × HT) + (-0.002 4 × AGE) + (0.171 2 × SEXm=1, f=0) + (0.031 4 × FFM) + (0.001 × FM) + (0.008 9 × SHWDTH) + (-0.014 5 × TRNKL) + (-0.027 8 × PWDTH) - 0.507 3; R2 = 0.819, SE ± 0.301. Step2: Total body BMD (g/cm2) = (-0.002 8 × HT) + (-0.043 7 × SEXm=1, f=0) + (0.000 8 × %FAT) + (0.297 0 × BMC) + (-0.002 3 × LL) + (0.002 3 × SHWDTH) + (-0.002 5 × TRNKL) + (-0.011 3 × PWDTH) + 1.379; R2 = 0.89, SE ± 0.054. Similar models were also developed to predict leg, arm, spine, and pelvis BMD (R2 = 0.796-0.864, p < 0.05). The equations developed here represent promising tools for identifying individuals with low BMD at risk of fracture who would benefit from further evaluation, especially in the resource or time restricted setting.

The effect of exercise post vertebral augmentation in osteoporotic patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Orthop Res 2023; 41:2703-2712. [PMID: 37203781 DOI: 10.1002/jor.25631] [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: 02/20/2023] [Revised: 03/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
This meta-analysis investigated the effects of exercise on Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores following vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty in osteoporotic fractures. A literature search of PubMed, EMBASE (Elsevier), CiNAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Scopus, and Web of Science was conducted from database inception to October 6, 2022. Eligible studies reported osteoporosis patients over 18 years of age with a diagnosis of at least one vertebral fracture via radiography or clinical assessment. This review was registered in PROSPERO (ID: CRD42022340791). Ten studies met the eligibility criteria (n = 889). VAS scores at baseline were 7.75 (95% CI: 7.54, 7.97, I2 = 76.11%). Following initiation of exercise, VAS scores at the endpoint of 12 months were 1.91 (95% CI: 1.53, 2.29, I2 = 92.69%). ODI scores at baseline were 68.66 (95% CI: 56.19, 81.13, I2 = 85%). Following initiation of exercise, ODI scores at the endpoint of 12 months were 21.20 (95% CI: 14.52, 27.87, I2 = 99.30). A two-arm analysis demonstrated improved VAS and ODI for the exercise group compared to non-exercise control at 6 months (MD = -0.70, 95% CI: -1.08, -0.32, I2 = 87% and MD = -6.48, 95% CI: -7.52, -5.44, I2 = 46%, respectively) and 12 months (MD = -0.88, 95% CI: -1.27, -0.49, I2 = 85% and MD = -9.62, 95% CI: -13.24, -5.99, I2 = 93%). Refracture was the only adverse event reported and occurred almost twice as frequently in the non-exercise group than in the exercise group. Exercise rehabilitation post vertebral augmentation is associated with improved pain and functionality, particularly after 6 months of exposure, and may reduce refracture rate.

Resistance exercise training benefits pulmonary, cardiac, and muscular structure and function in rats with stable pulmonary artery hypertension. Life Sci 2023; 332:122128. [PMID: 37769805 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2023.122128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 09/23/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/01/2023]
Abstract
AIM We tested the effects of low- to moderate-intensity resistance exercise training (RT) on the structure and function of pulmonary, right ventricle (RV), and skeletal muscle tissues in rats with stable pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). MAIN METHODS After the first monocrotaline (MCT; 20 mg/kg) injection, male rats were submitted to a RT program (Ladder climbing; 55-65 % intensity), 5 times/week. Seven days later rats received the second MCT dose. Physical effort tolerance test and echocardiographic examination were performed. After euthanasia, lung, heart, and biceps brachii were processed for histological, single myocyte, and biochemical analysis. KEY FINDINGS RT improved survival and physical effort tolerance (i.e., maximum carrying load), mitigated the pulmonary artery resistance increase (i.e., TA/TE), and preserved cardiac function (i.e., fractional shortening, ejection fraction, stroke volume and TAPSE). RT counteracted oxidative stress (i.e., CAT, SOD, GST, MDA and NO) and adverse remodeling in lung (i.e., collapsed alveoli) and in biceps brachii (i.e., atrophy and total collagen) tissues. RT delayed RV adverse remodeling (i.e., hypertrophy, extracellular matrix, collagen types I and III, and fibrosis) and impairments in single RV myocyte contractility (i.e., amplitude and velocity to peak and relaxation). RT improved the expression of gene (i.e., miRNA 214) and intracellular Ca2+ cycling regulatory proteins (i.e., PLBser16); and of pathological (i.e., α/β-MHC and Foxo3) and physiological (i.e., Akt, p-Akt, mTOR, p-mTOR, and Bcl-xL) hypertrophy pathways markers in RV tissue. SIGNIFICANCE Low- to moderate-intensity RT benefits the structure and function of pulmonary, RV, and skeletal muscle tissues in rats with stable pulmonary artery hypertension.

Finding the Optimal Resistance Training Intensity for Your Bones: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial. Phys Ther 2023; 103:pzad120. [PMID: 37669136 PMCID: PMC10549785 DOI: 10.1093/ptj/pzad120] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Revised: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/07/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the effect of twice-weekly, moderate-to-high intensity progressive resistance training (PRT) for 1 year on lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) in individuals with low BMD, compared to attention control. Secondary analyses will examine if resistance training improves other health outcomes; if high intensity is more effective than moderate intensity resistance training for all outcomes; the cost of intervention versus benefit; the willingness to pay; and harms. METHODS For this study, 324 men or postmenopausal women aged ≥50 years with a femoral neck, total hip, or lumbar spine BMD T-score of ≤-1, or a Fracture Risk Assessment Tool probability of ≥20% for major osteoporotic fracture or ≥ 3% for hip fracture are being recruited to participate in a randomized controlled trial with 1:1:1 randomization. Participants will be stratified by site (3 centers) to twice-weekly, supervised PRT at moderate intensity (about 10 repetitions maximum), to high intensity PRT (≤6 repetitions maximum), or to a home posture and balance exercise program (attention control) for 1 year (resistance training to comparator allocation ratio of 2:1). The primary outcome is lumbar spine BMD via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Secondary outcomes include trabecular bone score, proximal femur and total hip BMD and structure, bone-free and appendicular lean mass, physical functioning, falls, fractures, glucose metabolism, cost per life-year gained, adverse events, and quality of life. Between-group differences will be tested in intention-to-treat and per-protocol analyses using analysis of covariance, chi-square tests, or negative binomial or logistic regression, adjusting for site and baseline values. IMPACT The Finding the Optimal Resistance Training Intensity For Your Bones trial will support decision making on resistance training for people at risk of fracture.

Abstract
Bone is a tissue that is active throughout the lifespan, and its physiological activities, such as growth, development, absorption, and formation, are always ongoing. All types of stimulation that occur in sports play an important role in regulating the physiological activities of bone. Here, we track the latest research progress locally and abroad, summarize the recent, relevant research results, and systematically summarize the effects of different types of exercise on bone mass, bone strength and bone metabolism. We found that different types of exercise have different effects on bone health due to their unique technical characteristics. Oxidative stress is an important mechanism mediating the exercise regulation of bone homeostasis. Excessive high-intensity exercise does not benefit bone health but induces a high level of oxidative stress in the body, which has a negative impact on bone tissue. Regular moderate exercise can improve the body's antioxidant defense ability, inhibit an excessive oxidative stress response, promote the positive balance of bone metabolism, delay age-related bone loss and deterioration of bone microstructures and have a prevention and treatment effect on osteoporosis caused by many factors. Based on the above findings, we provide evidence for the role of exercise in the prevention and treatment of bone diseases. This study provides a systematic basis for clinicians and professionals to reasonably formulate exercise prescriptions and provides exercise guidance for patients and the general public. This study also provides a reference for follow-up research.

Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 2023; 288:18-28. [PMID: 37421743 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejogrb.2023.06.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/10/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Physical exercise decreases cardiovascular risk and can alter the lipid profile in postmenopausal women. Although it is believed that resistance training can potentially decrease serum lipid levels in postmenopausal females, the evidence remains inconclusive. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was to clarify the impact of resistance training on the lipid profile in postmenopausal women. METHODS Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed/Medline and Embase were searched. RCTs that evaluated the effect of resistance training on total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) levels were included in this review. Effect size was estimated using the random effects model. Subgroup analyses based on age, duration of intervention, pre-enrolment serum lipid levels and body mass index were performed. RESULTS Data pooled from 19 RCTs revealed that resistance training can reduce TC [weighted mean difference (WMD) -11.47 mg/dl; p = 0.002], LDL-C (WMD -8.48 mg/dl; p = 0.01) and TG (WMD -6.61 mg/dl; p = 0.043) levels. TC levels decreased particularly in subjects aged < 60 years (WMD -10.77 mg/dl; p = 0.003), in RCTs lasting < 16 weeks (WMD -15.70 mg/dl; p = 0.048), and in subjects with hypercholesterolaemia (WMD -12.36 mg/dl; p = 0.001) or obesity (WMD -19.35 mg/dl; p = 0.006) before RCT enrolment. There was a significant decrease in LDL-C (WMD -14.38 mg/dl; p = 0.002) levels in patients with LDL-C ≥ 130 mg/dl before trial enrolment. Resistance training reduced HDL-C (WMD -2.97 mg/dl; p = 0.01) levels particularly in subjects with obesity. TG (WMD -10.71 mg/dl; p = 0.01) levels decreased particularly when the intervention lasted < 16 weeks. CONCLUSION Resistance training can decrease TC, LDL-C and TG levels in postmenopausal females. The impact of resistance training on HDL-C levels was small, and was only observed in individuals with obesity. The effect of resistance training on the lipid profile was more notable in short-term interventions and in postmenopausal women with dyslipidaemia or obesity before trial enrolment.

Abstract
This meta-analysis including 10 randomised controlled trials suggests that exercise is associated with a statistically significant, but relatively mild, improvement effect on bone mineral density in middle-aged and older men, indicating that exercise has the potential to be a safe and effective way toavert bone loss in men. PURPOSE To determine the effect of exercise on bone mineral density (BMD) in middle-aged and older men. METHODS We searched three electronic databases up to March 21, 2022. A systematic review of the literature according to the PRISMA statement included (1) randomised controlled trials (RCTs), with (2) at least one exercise group as an intervention versus a control group, (3) men aged ≥ 45 years old, and (4) areal BMD of the lumbar spine (LS) and/or femoral neck (FN) and/or total hip (TH) and/or trochanter region. Mean differences (MD) for BMD changes at the LS, FN, TH, and trochanter were defined as outcome measures. RESULTS A total of 10 eligible RCTs were included (N = 555 participants). Exercise significantly improved BMD, and the summarised MD was 0.02 (95% CI: 0.00 to 0.05) for LS BMD, 0.01 (95% CI: 0.00 to 0.02) for FN BMD, 0.01 (95% CI: 0.00 to 0.01) for TH BMD, and 0.03 (95% CI: 0.00 to 0.05) for trochanter BMD. Subgoup analyses showed the improvement effect was statistically significant in trials with longer duration and higher intensity in LS (≥ 12 months: MD, 0.01, 95% CI:0.00 to 0.03; higher intensity: MD, 0.01, 95% CI:0.00 to 0.03) and FN (≥ 12 months: MD, 0.02, 95% CI:0.01 to 0.02; higher intensity: MD, 0.01, 95% CI:0.01 to 0.02). CONCLUSION Our results suggested a relatively mild, improvement effect of exercise on LS and proximal femur BMD. Exercise has the potential to be an effective way to avert bone loss in middle-aged and older men.

Abstract
Objectives Osteoporosis is one of the major public health problems worldwide among postmenopausal osteoporotic women. Lifestyle modification interventions along with pharmacotherapy help to revert bone loss and prevent complications. Methods A randomised controlled trial was conducted at Kasturba Hospital, Manipal from January 2019 to December 2021 among postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. The postmenopausal women who attended the osteoporosis clinic and were within the age group of 45-65 years, could speak and understand English or Kannada and whose bone mineral density (BMD) score was between -1 and -3 were included in the study. The total sample size of the study was 120 with 60 in each of the experimental and control groups. After obtaining informed consent, a stratified block randomisation method was used to allocate the participants to intervention and control groups. The BMD was monitored by the portable ultrasound densitometer by a technician at the outpatient departments. The baseline information was collected by a structured demographic questionnaire. Intervention group participants received a lifestyle modification intervention program (LMIP) whereas the control group received standard regular care from the physician. Follow-up was done at three and six months. Results The results revealed that the increase in the BMD median score among the experimental group was from -2.2 (-2.5- -1.8) to -1.5 (-1.8- -0.65) whereas in the control group, it was from -2.3 (-2.6- -1.9) to -2.0 (-2.4- -1.5). The results of the Mann Whitey U test showed a statistical significance between the intervention and control groups in the post-test after six months (U = 505.5; P <0.05). Wilcoxon signed rank test showed a significant change in both the intervention and control groups from pre-test to post-test I (3 months) and post-test II (6 months; P <0.001). Conclusion The lifestyle modification intervention was found to be effective in improving the bone health status of postmenopausal women. Hence it is very important to integrate it into regular therapy.

Abstract
Objectives Levothyroxine suppressive therapy following thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer patients is considered as a risk factor for osteoporosis and fragility fractures. We evaluated the association of regular exercise and exercise habit change with fracture risk in adults older than 40 years who underwent thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer. Methods We enrolled the patients who underwent thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer older than 40 years between 2010 and 2016 from the Korean National Health Insurance Service data, and they were followed through 2019. Based on the questionnaire of health examination within 2 years before and after surgery, whether regular exercise once a week was evaluated. The reference group for the statistical analysis was the continuing lack of physical activity group that did not exercise before or after surgery. For fractures newly diagnosed during the follow-up period, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed for risk evaluation. Results We evaluated 74,774 subjects, of whom 2,924 (3.9%) experienced any fractures during a median follow-up of 4.5 years. Compared with the group consistently lack of physical activity, the group that exercised before and after surgery showed a significant decrease in the risk of any fracture, vertebral fracture, and hip fracture: adjusted hazard ratio 0.848 (95% Confidence Interval 0.771-0.932), 0.703 (0.591-0.836), and 0.405 (0.224-0.732), respectively. For vertebral fracture, a significant reduction in fracture risk was confirmed even in patients who started their regular exercise after surgery: adjusted hazard ratio 0.779 (0.648-0.936). The risk reduction for vertebral fractures upon the initiation of exercise was found to be significant in the high-risk groups of patients: women and total thyroidectomy patients. Conclusion We suggest that maintaining or starting regular exercise after surgery may help prevent fractures in thyroid cancer patients older than 40 years who have undergone thyroidectomy.

Abstract
Purpose: To analyze the effects of different exercise dose on lumbar spine and femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) in individuals with osteoporosis (OP). Design: A systematic search was conducted in four electronic databases, namely, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane, with the topic of the impact of exercise on BMD in individuals with OP. Randomized controlled trials comparing exercise intervention with no intervention were identified, and changes in lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD were reported and evaluated using standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). The intervention measures in the studies were evaluated and categorized as high adherence with the exercise testing and prescription recommendations for individuals with OP developed by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) or low/uncertainty adherence with ACSM recommendations. A random effects model was used to conduct meta-analyses and compare the results between subgroups. Results: A total of 32 studies involving 2005 participants were included in the analyses, with 14 studies categorized as high adherence with ACSM recommendations and 18 studies categorized as low or uncertain adherence. In the analyses of lumbar spine BMD, 27 studies with 1,539 participants were included. The combined SMD for the high adherence group was 0.31, while the combined SMD for the low or uncertain adherence group was 0.04. In the analyses of femoral neck BMD, 23 studies with 1,606 participants were included. The combined SMD for the high adherence group was 0.45, while the combined SMD for the low or uncertain adherence group was 0.28. Within resistance exercise, the subgroup with high ACSM adherence had a greater impact on lumbar spine BMD compared to the subgroup with low or uncertain ACSM adherence (SMD: 0.08 > -0.04). Similarly, for femoral neck BMD, resistance exercise with high ACSM adherence had a higher SMD compared to exercise with low or uncertain ACSM adherence (SMD: 0.49 > 0.13). Conclusion: The results suggest that exercise interventions with high adherence to ACSM recommendations are more effective in improving lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD in individuals with OP compared to interventions with low or uncertain adherence to ACSM recommendations.

J Clin Densitom 2023; 26:101370. [PMID: 37100686 DOI: 10.1016/j.jocd.2023.101370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND Trabecular bone score (TBS) is an indirect measurement of bone quality and microarchitecture determined from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) imaging of the lumbar spine. TBS predicts fracture risk independent of bone mass/density, suggesting this assessment of bone quality adds value to the understanding of patients' bone health. While lean mass and muscular strength have been associated with higher bone density and lower fracture risk among older adults, the literature is limited regarding the relationship of lean mass and strength with TBS. The purpose of this study was to determine associations of DXA-determined total body and trunk lean mass, maximal muscular strength, and gait speed as a measure of physical function, with TBS in 141 older adults (65-84 yr, 72.5 +/- 5.1 yr, 74% women). METHODOLOGY Assessments included lumbar spine (L1-L4) bone density and total body and trunk lean mass by DXA, lower body (leg press) and upper body (seated row) strength by one repetition maximum tests, hand grip strength, and usual gait speed. TBS was derived from the lumbar spine DXA scan. Multivariable linear regression determined the contribution of proposed predictors to TBS. RESULTS After adjusting for age, sex, and lumbar spine bone density, upper body strength significantly predicted TBS (unadjusted/adjusted R2= 0.16/ 0.11, β coefficient =0.378, p=0.005), while total body lean mass index showed a trend in the expected direction (β coefficient =0.243, p=0.053). Gait speed and grip strength were not associated with TBS (p>0.05). CONCLUSION Maximum strength of primarily back muscles measured as the seated row appears important to bone quality as measured by TBS, independent of bone density. Additional research on exercise training targeting back strength is needed to determine its clinical utility in preventing vertebral fractures among older adults.

J Bone Miner Res 2023; 38:951-957. [PMID: 37198881 PMCID: PMC10947270 DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.4826] [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: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 04/28/2023] [Accepted: 05/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
The reasons for the association between physical activity (PA) and bone microarchitecture traits are unclear. We examined whether these associations were consistent with causation and/or with shared familial factors using a cross-sectional study of 47 dizygotic and 93 monozygotic female twin pairs aged 31-77 years. Images of the nondominant distal tibia were obtained using high-resolutionperipheral quantitative computed tomography. The bone microarchitecture was assessed using StrAx1.0 software. Based on a self-completed questionnaire, a PA index was calculated as a weighted sum of weekly hours of light (walking, light gardening), moderate (social tennis, golf, hiking), and vigorous activity (competitive active sports) = light + 2 * moderate + 3 * vigorous. We applied Inference about Causation through Examination of FAmiliaL CONfounding (ICE FALCON) to test whether cross-pair cross-trait associations changed after adjustment for within-individual associations. Within-individual distal tibia cortical cross-sectional area (CSA) and cortical thickness were positively associated with PA (regression coefficients [β] = 0.20 and 0.22), while the porosity of the inner transitional zone was negatively associated with PA (β = -0.17), all p < 0.05. Trabecular volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and trabecular thickness were positively associated with PA (β = 0.13 and 0.14), and medullary CSA was negatively associated with PA (β = -0.22), all p ≤ 0.01. Cross-pair cross-trait associations of cortical thickness, cortical CSA, and medullary CSA with PA attenuated after adjustment for the within-individual association (p = 0.048, p = 0.062, and p = 0.028 for changes). In conclusion, increasing PA was associated with thicker cortices, larger cortical area, lower porosity of the inner transitional zone, thicker trabeculae, and smaller medullary cavities. The attenuation of cross-pair cross-trait associations after accounting for the within-individual associations was consistent with PA having a causal effect on the improved cortical and trabecular microarchitecture of adult females, in addition to shared familial factors. © 2023 The Authors.

Lifelong Fitness in Ambulatory Children and Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy I: Key Ingredients for Bone and Muscle Health. Behav Sci (Basel) 2023; 13:539. [PMID: 37503986 PMCID: PMC10376586 DOI: 10.3390/bs13070539] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Physical activity of a sufficient amount and intensity is essential to health and the prevention of a sedentary lifestyle in all children as they transition into adolescence and adulthood. While fostering a fit lifestyle in all children can be challenging, it may be even more so for those with cerebral palsy (CP). Evidence suggests that bone and muscle health can improve with targeted exercise programs for children with CP. Yet, it is not clear how musculoskeletal improvements are sustained into adulthood. In this perspective, we introduce key ingredients and guidelines to promote bone and muscle health in ambulatory children with CP (GMFCS I-III), which could lay the foundation for sustained fitness and musculoskeletal health as they transition from childhood to adolescence and adulthood. First, one must consider crucial characteristics of the skeletal and muscular systems as well as key factors to augment bone and muscle integrity. Second, to build a better foundation, we must consider critical time periods and essential ingredients for programming. Finally, to foster the sustainability of a fit lifestyle, we must encourage commitment and self-initiated action while ensuring the attainment of skill acquisition and function. Thus, the overall objective of this perspective paper is to guide exercise programming and community implementation to truly alter lifelong fitness in persons with CP.

Abstract
Muscles and bones are intricately connected tissues displaying marked co-variation during development, growth, aging, and in many diseases. While the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis are well established in clinical practice, sarcopenia has only been classified internationally as a disease in 2016. Both conditions are associated with an increased risk of adverse health outcomes such as fractures, dysmobility and mortality. Rather than focusing on one dimension of bone or muscle mass or weakness, the concept of musculoskeletal frailty captures the overall loss of physiological reserves in the locomotor system with age. The term osteosarcopenia in particular refers to the double jeopardy of osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Muscle-bone interactions at the biomechanical, cellular, paracrine, endocrine, neuronal or nutritional level may contribute to the pathophysiology of osteosarcopenia. The paradigm wherein muscle force controls bone strength is increasingly facing competition from a model centering on the exchange of myokines, osteokines and adipokines. The most promising results have been obtained in preclinical models where common drug targets have been identified to treat these conditions simultaneously. In this narrative review, we critically summarize the current understanding of the definitions, epidemiology, pathophysiology, and treatment of osteosarcopenia as part of an integrative approach to musculoskeletal frailty.

Abstract
Articular cartilage degeneration has been proved to cause a variety of joint diseases, among which osteoarthritis is the most typical. Osteoarthritis is characterized by articular cartilage degeneration and persistent pain, which affects the quality of life of patients as well as brings a heavy burden to society. The occurrence and development of osteoarthritis is related to the disorder of the subchondral bone microenvironment. Appropriate exercise can improve the subchondral bone microenvironment, thus playing an essential role in preventing and treating osteoarthritis. However, the exact mechanism whereby exercise improves the subchondral bone microenvironment remains unclear. There is biomechanical interaction as well as biochemical crosstalk between bone and cartilage. And the crosstalk between bone and cartilage is the key to bone-cartilage homeostasis maintenance. From the perspective of biomechanical and biochemical crosstalk between bone and cartilage, this paper reviews the effects of exercise-mediated bone-cartilage crosstalk on the subchondral bone microenvironment, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of degenerative bone diseases.

Abstract
Background The aim of the study was to examine the feasibility for postmenopausal women of a bone-strengthening jumping intervention, which has been previously successful for premenopausal women. Materials and Methods Forty-nine participants (mean ± standard deviation [SD] age = 57.8 ± 4.3 years) were randomized into either an exercise intervention or sham-control group in a double-blinded fashion. The intervention consisted of 10 maximal, rest-inserted countermovement jumps, performed three times a week on a hard surface without shoes for 8 months. Sham-control participants performed unilateral balance exercises of equivalent duration. Results The jumps were well tolerated, with women in the jumping group completing 95% of the prescribed exercise. Of the participants who completed the study (n = 23 intervention, n = 16 control), there were no significant differences in broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) using quantitative ultrasound (QUS) of the calcaneum within and between groups (mean ± SD BUA = 64.9 ± 7.3 and 66.6 ± 6.5 dB/MHz for intervention pre- and post-trial, respectively, versus mean ± SD BUA = 63.6 ± 4.2 and 64.4 ± 4.5 dB/MHz for sham-controls pre- and post-trial, respectively) or for any QUS parameters, although there was a 3% increase in BUA for intervention participants. Conclusions Recruitment and participation rates were feasible for this duration of study and the exercise was acceptable. For a future study of this nature, 48 participants would be required to ensure adequate power, especially as lifestyle variations and post-menopausal hypoestrogenism prevent substantial gains in bone strength with high-impact exercise.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a chronic condition with decreased bone mass and altered bone structure, leading to a greater risk of fractures among older women. Exercise has been proposed as a potentially effective non-pharmacological method to prevent this condition. In this systematic review, we investigate the effects and safety of high-impact and high-intensity exercises in improving bone density at popular sites of fragility fractures, namely, the hip and spine. This review also highlights the mechanism of these exercises in improving bone density and other aspects of bone health in postmenopausal women. This study is done adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. After applying the eligibility criteria, we selected 10 articles from PubMed and Google Scholar to be included in our study. Based on the findings from the studies, we established that high-intensity and high-impact exercises are effective in improving, or at the very least maintaining, bone density in the lumbar spine and femur in postmenopausal women. An exercise protocol including high-intensity resistance exercises and high-impact training is shown to be most effective in improving bone density and other parameters of bone health. These exercises were found to be safe in older women, however, careful supervision is recommended. All limitations considered, high-intensity and high-impact exercises are an effective strategy to enhance bone density, and potentially reduce the burden of fragility as well as compression fractures in postmenopausal women.

Resveratrol protects osteocytes against oxidative stress in ovariectomized rats through AMPK/JNK1-dependent pathway leading to promotion of autophagy and inhibition of apoptosis. Cell Death Dis 2023; 9:16. [PMID: 36681672 PMCID: PMC9867734 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-023-01331-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
A large number of studies in recent years indicate that osteocytes are the orchestrators of bone remodeling by regulating both osteoblast and osteoclast activities. Oxidative stress-induced osteocyte apoptosis plays critical roles in the pathological processes of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Resveratrol is a natural polyphenolic compound that ameliorates postmenopausal osteoporosis. However, whether resveratrol regulates osteocyte apoptosis via autophagy remains largely unknown. The effects of resveratrol on regulating osteocyte apoptosis and autophagy were analyzed both in vivo and in vitro. In vitro, cultured MLO-Y4 cells were exposed to H2O2 with or without resveratrol. In vivo, an ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis model was constructed in rats with or without daily intraperitoneal injection of 10 mg/kg body weight resveratrol. It was found that resveratrol attenuated H2O2-induced apoptosis through activating autophagy in cultured MLO-Y4 cells, which was mediated by the dissociation of Beclin-1/Bcl-2 complex in AMPK/JNK1-dependent pathway, ultimately regulating osteocytes function. Furthermore, it was shown that resveratrol treatment reduced osteocytes oxidative stress, inhibited osteocytes apoptosis and promoted autophagy in ovariectomized rats. Our study suggests that resveratrol protects against oxidative stress by restoring osteocytes autophagy and alleviating apoptosis via AMPK/JNK1 activation, therefore dissociating Bcl-2 from Beclin-1.

Abstract
Maximum data in exercise (Max-Ex), including maximum heart rate (HRmax), peak oxygen uptake (VO2pk), maximum power (MaxP), etc., are frequently used, whether it is for the determination of exercise intensity, the measurement of an athlete’s performance, assessment of recovery from disease, and so on. However, very often this choice does not take into account the targeted individual. We recruited 32 males and 29 females to undergo an incremental graded exercise test (GXT). Therefore, our study seeks to determine variations in Max-Ex, according to the noninvasive static human data (Non-In data). Data showed a significant relationship (p < 0.001) between body composition and Max-Ex. Of the 41 types of Non-In data we collected in communities, the body composition generally showed high correlation (maximum r = 0.839). 57.5% of the data, of which r > 0.6 were about body composition. The muscle-related body composition data had a greater effect on power, and the fat-related ones had a greater effect on HRmax and VO2pk. For some types of Max-Ex, the older and younger ones showed specific differences. Therefore, these results can be employed to adequately prescribe personalized health promotion programs according to diversity and availability, and have some reference value for other studies using Max-Ex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this systematic review was to determine whether strength exercises improve the symptoms of menopause and to provide an update on the most recent scientific evidence on the type and regimen of exercise that help reduce the symptoms. METHODS An electronic search of scientific databases was performed from 2015 to 2022. Randomized clinical trials that analyzed the effects of strength exercises versus other types of interventions, considering all the outcome measures of interest, were included in this review. RESULTS We found 5964 potential articles. After applying the selection criteria, we selected 12 of the articles. The studies compared strength exercises versus other therapies or compared strength exercises versus no intervention in one of the groups. The results showed improvements in the strength of the legs and pelvic floor, physical activity, bone density, metabolic and hormonal changes, heart rate and blood pressure and a change in hot flashes. CONCLUSIONS There is evidence that strength exercises can be beneficial for improving strength, physical activity, bone density and hormonal and metabolic levels. In terms of the appropriate type of strength training, the evidence is still unclear given that the same benefits are achieved by various types of exercises.

Abstract
There are many benefits to the addition of exercise to cancer treatment and survivorship, particularly with resistance training regimens that target hypertrophy, bone mineral density, strength, functional mobility, and body composition. These goals are best achieved through a series of individualized high-intensity compound movements that mirror functional mobility patterns and sufficiently stress the musculoskeletal system. As a result of adequate stress, the body will engage compensatory cellular mechanisms that improve the structural integrity of bones and muscles, stimulate metabolism and the immune system, optimize functional performance, and minimize mechanical injury risk. The current evidence suggests that application of the above exercise principles, practiced in a safe environment under expert observation, may offer patients with cancer an effective means of improving overall health and cancer-specific outcomes. The following article poses several important questions certified exercise specialists and physicians should consider when prescribing resistance exercise for patients with cancer.

Abstract
Objective To elucidate the mechanism of Spatholobi Caulis (SC) in treating osteoporosis (OP) integrated zebrafish model and bioinformatics. Methods Skeleton staining coupled with image quantification was performed to evaluate the effects of SC on skeleton mineralization area (SSA) and total optical density (TOD). Zebrafish locomotor activity was monitored using the EthoVision XT. Bioactive compounds of SC and their corresponding protein targets were acquired from Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP) database. Potential therapeutic targets for OP were summarized through retrieving 5 databases, and then, the overlapping genes between SC and OP were acquired. The core genes were selected by CytoHubba. Subsequently, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway and Gene Ontology (GO) functional analysis of the intersection target genes were carried out by R software. Finally, the molecular docking simulation was manipulated between the ingredients and the hub genes. Results Compared with the model group, SC significantly increased the SSA and TOD at 10 mg/mL and improved the locomotor activity in a dose-dependent manner (p < 0.001). 33 components of SC were associated with 72 OP-related genes including 10 core genes (MAPK1, VEGFA, MMP9, AKT1, AR, IL6, CALM3, TP53, EGFR, and CAT). Advanced Glycation End Product (AGE) Receptor for AGE (RAGE) signaling pathway was screened out as the principal pathway of SC in anti-OP. The bioactive components (Aloe-emodin, Emodin, Formononetin, Licochalcone A, Luteolin, and Lopac-I-3766) have excellent affinity to core genes (MAPK1, VEGFA, MMP9, AKT1, and IL6). Conclusion SC had the hierarchical network characteristics of "multicomponents/multitargets/multifunctions/multipathways" in reversing OP, but AGE-RAGE signaling pathway may be the main regulatory mechanism.

Devries MC, Giangregorio L. Using the specificity and overload principles to prevent sarcopenia, falls and fractures with exercise. Bone 2023; 166:116573. [PMID: 36208722 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2022.116573] [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: 05/16/2022] [Revised: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this narrative review is to discuss the evidence on exercise for fall, fracture and sarcopenia prevention, including evidence that aligns with the specificity and progressive overload principles used in exercise physiology, implementation strategies and future research priorities. We also provide a brief discussion of the influence of protein intake and creatine supplementation as potential effect modifiers. We prioritized evidence from randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews. Resistance training can improve muscle mass, muscle strength and a variety of physical performance measures in older adults. Resistance training may also prevent bone loss or increase bone mass, although whether it needs to be done in combination with impact exercise to be effective is less clear, because many studies use multicomponent interventions. Exercise programs prevent falls, and subgroup and network meta-analyses suggest an emphasis on balance and functional training, or specifically, anticipatory control, dynamic stability, functional stability limits, reactive control and flexibility, to maximize efficacy. Resistance training for major muscle groups at a 6-12 repetitions maximum intensity, and challenging balance exercises should be performed at least twice weekly. Choose resistance training exercises aligned with patient goals or movements done during daily activities (task specificity), alongside balance exercises tailored to ability and aspects of balance that need improvement. Progress the volume, level of difficulty or other aspects to see continuous improvement (progressive overload). A critical future priority will be to address implementation barriers and facilitators to enhance uptake and adherence.

Abstract
Introduction: Exercise is widely recognized as prophylaxis for osteoporosis. However, exactly which type of exercise is best to prevent loss of bone mass remains undefined. To find an appropriate form of treadmill exercise that would ameliorate postmenopausal loss of cortical and trabecular structures, we compared various training regimen in ovariectomized (OVX) C57BL/6J mice. Methods: Common to all regimen were training durations of 14 weeks including five 30 min-sessions per week. Two groups-one sham operated, one OVX-served as controls that did not perform any training. Three OVX groups ran at constant speed, either without any incline or at 20° in- and 20° decline, respectively. An additional OVX group ran an interval training, an alternation between intensive tempo sections and so-called slower regeneration phases. Femoral and humeral bone structures were assessed via micro-computed tomography (μCT), biomechanical stability of the femora via 3-point bending test, muscle volumes of the posterior extremities via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and bone metabolic parameters via ELISA on peripheral blood. Result: OVX resulted in loss of bone mass and stability and a transient rise in the N-terminal collagen type I pro-peptide (PINP). Training resulted in increased muscle volumes of the heart and the lower extremities as well as increased running velocities. However, none of the exercise programs was able to prevent ovariectomyinduced loss of bone mass. Discussion: These data therefore suggest that axial loading and tensile strain do not suffice as prophylaxis for postmenopausal osteoporosis yet may need to be complemented by low dose pharmaceutics or dietary supplements.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022; 23:1089. [PMID: 36514079 PMCID: PMC9746211 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-06055-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although aerobic physical exercise may improve osteoporosis during ageing, the underlying mechanism of the favorable effects remains unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the localized and generalized proinflammatory indicators and the adaptive skeletal responses to treadmill training in aged rats to explore the potential mechanisms by which treadmill training impacts bone deterioration in a natural aged rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 24 Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were included in this study. Sixteen of all these animals were twenty-four months natural aged male SD rats, which were distributed into two groups (n = 8/group): AC group with sham treadmill training, and AT group with 8 weeks treadmill training. The remaining 8 were six months male SD rats matched subline and supplier, which were used as the adult control group with sham treadmill training (YC group, n = 8). The serum, bone marrow, fresh femur, tibia, and lumbar spine were harvested for molecular biological analysis, bone mineral density (BMD) testing, and micro-CT analysis after 8 weeks of treadmill training. RESULTS After 8 weeks of intervention, the results showed that treadmill training increased BMD and inhibited deterioration of bone microarchitecture of hind limb bones. Further analysis showed that treadmill training increased serum P1CP concentration and decreased serum CTX-1level. Interestingly, treadmill training down-regulated the protein expressions of proinflammatory indicators, including NLRP3, proCaspase1, cleaved Caspase1, IL-1β, and GSDMD-N, and the mRNA levels of NLRP3, Caspase1, and IL-1β of the bone marrow. In addition, treadmill training also inhibited serum TNF-α and IL-1β concentration. However, 8 weeks of treadmill training did not increase BMD and bone microarchitecture in the lumbar spine. CONCLUSION Treadmill training mitigates the ageing-induced bone loss and reverses the deterioration of bone microarchitecture in hind limbs probably through inhibiting NLRP3/Caspase1/IL-1β signaling to attenuate low-grade inflammation and improve the inflammatory bone microenvironment.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence indicates that interoception maintains proper physiological status and orchestrates metabolic homeostasis by regulating feeding behaviors, glucose balance, and lipid metabolism. Continuous skeletal remodeling consumes a tremendous amount of energy to provide skeletal scaffolding, support muscle movement, store vital minerals, and maintain a niche for hematopoiesis, which are processes that also contribute to overall metabolic balance. Although skeletal innervation has been described for centuries, recent work has shown that skeletal metabolism is tightly regulated by the nervous system and that skeletal interoception regulates bone homeostasis. Here, we provide a general discussion of interoception and its effects on the skeleton and whole-body metabolism. We also discuss skeletal interoception-mediated regulation in the context of pathological conditions and skeletal pain as well as future challenges to our understanding of these process and how they can be leveraged for more effective therapy.
