[PMID: 39160209 PMCID: PMC11333744 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-69780-y] [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: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 08/21/2024] Open
Abstract
The exploration of traumatic spinal fractures (TSFs) within the senior demographic has not been thoroughly scrutinized, particularly with respect to variations across genders, age groups, seasonal periods, and causative factors. This retrospective analysis aimed to dissect differences in the prevalence and characteristics of TSFs among the elderly, factoring in gender, age, seasonal timing, and causation. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical and imaging records of 1,415 patients, all aged 60 years or older, who were diagnosed with TSFs from 2013 to 2019. This study categorized the data by gender, age groups (60-70, 70-80, and 80 years or older), seasons, and the cause of injuries, including road traffic crashes (RTCs), falls from low heights (LHF), falls from high heights (HHF), and injuries incurred during everyday activities and agricultural labor (DFI). Male patients exhibited notably higher incidences of RTCs, high-height falls (HHFs), outdoor incidents, comas post-injury, fractures of the lower limbs (LLFs), pelvic fractures (PFs), rib fractures (RFs), intra-thoracic injuries (ITIs), intra-abdominal injuries (IAIs), cervical fractures, and spinal cord injuries (SCIs). With advancing age, there was a marked decline in occurrences of RTCs, HHFs, outdoor incidents, RFs, craniocerebral injuries (CCIs), ITIs, cervical fractures, and SCIs, while the incidences of DFIs, indoor incidents, and thoracic and lumbar (T + L) fractures notably increased. During autumn, LLF occurrences were significantly reduced, whereas the winter season saw an increase in thoracic fractures. Spring time was associated with a higher frequency of lumbar fractures and noncontiguous spinal fractures (NSFs). Significant distinctions were observed in the age distribution, injury circumstances, associated injuries, and SCIs between high-energy impacts (RTCs and HHFs) and low-energy traumas (LHFs and DFIs). In the elderly demographic, TSFs exhibited discernible distinctions based on gender, age, seasonal variations, and etiological factors, impacting the nature and circumstances of injuries, associated traumas, complications, fracture sites, and the occurrence of SCIs.

[PMID: 39098364 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2024.107915] [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: 11/18/2023] [Revised: 07/30/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Prior observational studies have suggested a strong correlation between sarcopenia and stroke, but the causal link between them remains uncertain. This study aims to investigate the associations between genetically predicted sarcopenia-related traits and stroke using a two-step Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. METHODS Genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data for sarcopenia-related traits were acquired from the UK Biobank. Genetic associations for ischemic stroke (IS) and its subtypes were selected from the MEGASTROKE consortium comprising European ancestry participants. GWAS summary data for cerebral hemorrhage were obtained from the FinnGen consortium, including intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). MR estimates were calculated using the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method. The robustness of results was assessed for heterogeneity and pleiotropy of individual single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). RESULTS Higher appendicular lean mass (ALM) exhibited a potential causal association with a reduced incidence of large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) (odds ratio [OR] = 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI]:0.71-0.93; P = 0.003) and small vessel disease (SVD) (OR = 0.83, 95% CI:0.74-0.94; P = 0.002). The associations of ALM with IS and ICH were compromised after adjusting for body fat and physical activity with multivariable MR. Two-step MR mediation analysis explored 33 candidate mediators, among which hypertension and SBP accounted for more than 10% of the mediation proportion in the relationship between ALM and stroke and its subtypes. CONCLUSION Our research findings indicate that lower ALM is associated with a increased risk of stroke . It is necessary to explore the specific protective mechanisms of higher ALM for preventing stroke occurrence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to verify the prevalence of sarcopenia and its associations with sociodemographic, clinical and psychological factors in community-dwelling older adults. STUDY DESIGN A randomized cross-sectional study was extracted from a probabilistic cluster conducted on individuals aged 65 years or older residing in the community. METHODS Sarcopenia was defined according to the criteria of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2). Body composition was assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Associations were analyzed using networks based on mixed graphical models. Predictability indices of the estimated networks were assessed using the proportion of explained variance for numerical variables and the proportion of correct classification for categorical variables. RESULTS The study included 278 participants, with a majority being female (61 %). The prevalence of sarcopenia was 39.57 %. Among those with sarcopenia, 67 % were women and 33 % were men. In the network model, age, race, education, family income, bone mass, depression, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, total cholesterol levels and rheumatism were associated with sarcopenia. The covariates demonstrated a high accuracy (62.9 %) in predicting sarcopenia categories. CONCLUSION The prevalence of sarcopenia was high, especially in women. In addition, network analysis proved useful in visualizing complex relationships between sociodemographic and clinical factors with sarcopenia. The results suggest early screening of sarcopenia for appropriate treatment of this common geriatric syndrome in older adults in Brazil.

A Novel MRI-Based Paravertebral Muscle Quality (PVMQ) Score for Evaluating Muscle Quality and Bone Quality: A Comparative Study with the VBQ Score. Clin Interv Aging 2024; 19:1203-1215. [PMID: 38974509 PMCID: PMC11227326 DOI: 10.2147/cia.s464187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study aims to develop a novel MRI-based paravertebral muscle quality (PVMQ) score for assessing muscle quality and to investigate its correlation with the degree of fat infiltration (DFF) and the vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score of paravertebral muscles. Additionally, the study compares the effectiveness of the PVMQ score and the VBQ score in assessing muscle quality and bone quality. Methods PVMQ scores were derived from the ratio of paravertebral muscle signal intensity (SI) to L3 cerebrospinal fluid SI on T2-weighted MRI. Image J software assessed paravertebral muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and DFF. Spearman rank correlation analyses explored associations between PVMQ, VBQ scores, DFF, and T-scores in both genders. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves compared PVMQ and VBQ scores' effectiveness in distinguishing osteopenia/osteoporosis and high paraspinal muscle DFF. Results In this study of 144 patients (94 females), PVMQ scores were significantly higher in osteoporosis and osteopenia groups compared to normals, with variations observed between genders (P < 0.05). PVMQ showed stronger positive correlation with VBQ scores and DFF in females than males (0.584 vs 0.445, 0.579 vs 0.528; P < 0.01). ROC analysis favored PVMQ over VBQ for low muscle mass in both genders (AUC = 0.767 vs 0.718, 0.793 vs 0.718). VBQ was better for bone mass in males (0.737/0.865 vs 0.691/0.858), whereas PVMQ excelled for females (0.808/0.764 vs 0.721/0.718). Conclusion The novel PVMQ score provides a reliable assessment of paravertebral muscle quality and shows a strong correlation with VBQ scores and DFF, particularly in females. It outperforms VBQ scores in evaluating muscle mass and offers valuable insights for assessing bone mass in females. These findings underscore the potential of the PVMQ score as a dual-purpose tool for evaluating both muscle and bone health, informing future research and clinical practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to use the Mendelian randomization study method to verify the causal relationship between grip strength and bone mineral density (BMD) in different ages and different parts of the body. MATERIALS AND METHODS The analysis was based on pooled data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Hand grip strength (right) was used as the exposure variable and total body bone mineral density (BMD) of different age groups was used as the outcome variable. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms highly correlated with exposure variables were used as instrumental variables. The inverse variance weighted (IVW) method was used as the primary analysis method, and the Mendelian randomization Egger (MR-Egger) regression and weighted median methods were used as supplementary evidence for the IVW results. Horizontal pleiotropy and heterogeneity tests were conducted to ensure the stability of the results. RESULTS Analyzing the GWAS data on osteoporosis as the outcome variable, the IVW analysis showed that osteoporosis risk was associated with decreased grip strength in the 45-60 age group and the risk of declining lumbar spine BMD was associated with decreased grip strength. However, there was no significant correlation between the risk of osteoporosis in other age groups and changes in grip strength. CONCLUSION A causal relationship exists between decreased grip strength and osteoporosis risk in people aged 45-60 years. The risk of BMD declining in the lumbar spine was associated with reduced grip strength.

Abstract
PURPOSE Previous studies have suggested that obesity defined by body mass index(BMI) is a protective factor for bone mineral density(BMD), but have overlooked the potential influence of different types of obesity. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between abdominal obesity index A Body Shape Index(ABSI) and adolescent bone density, and analyze the relationship between abdominal obesity and bone metabolism. METHODS A total of 1557 adolescent participants were included in NHANES from 2007 to 2018. Calculate the ABSI using a specific formula that takes into account waist circumference and BMI. A weighted multiple linear regression model is used to evaluate the linear correlation between ABSI and BMD. Forest plots are used to analyze the correlations between subgroups, and cubic splines are limited to evaluate the nonlinear correlations and saturation effects between ABSI and BMD. RESULTS After adjusting for confounding factors, there was a significant linear correlation (P < 0.01) between ABSI and femoral BMD, both as a continuous variable and an ordered categorical variable. The restrictive cubic spline curve indicates a significant nonlinear correlation and saturation effect between adolescent ABSI and BMD. CONCLUSION Research has shown a significant negative correlation between ABSI and BMD at the four detection sites of the femur, and this correlation may vary slightly due to age, race, family income, and different detection sites. The research results indicate that compared to overall body weight, fat distribution and content may be more closely related to bone metabolism.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between bone metabolism markers, bone mineral density (BMD), and sarcopenia. METHODS A total of 331 consecutive patients aged ≥ 60 years who were hospitalized between November 2020 and December 2021 were enrolled. Participants were divided into sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia groups according to the Asian Working Group on Sarcopenia criteria (AWGS, 2019). The clinical data, bone metabolism markers (β-CTX, N-MID, and TP1NP), and BMD were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Age, β-CTX, and N-MID of the sarcopenia group were higher than those of the non-sarcopenia group (P < 0.05), but the BMD T values were lower than those of the non-sarcopenia group (P < 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that increased femoral neck BMD (FNBMD) was a protective factor for sarcopenia, while increased β-CTX was a risk factor. Pearson/Spearman correlation analysis showed that the diagnostic indices of sarcopenia were positively correlated with FNBMD and negatively correlated with β-CTX and N-MID. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that BMI and FNBMD significantly positively affected muscle strength and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM). The FNBMD significantly positively affected physical performance, while β-CTX significantly negatively affected muscle strength, ASM, and physical performance. CONCLUSION Increased FNBMD may be a protective factor against sarcopenia, and increased β-CTX may be a risk factor. The FNBMD significantly positively affected the diagnostic indices of sarcopenia, while β-CTX significantly negatively affected them. BMD and bone metabolism marker levels may be considered in early screening for sarcopenia.

Abstract
Background While increasing concerns arise about the health effects of environmental pollutants, the relationship between blood manganese (Mn) and sarcopenia has yet to be fully explored in the general population. Objective This study aims to investigate the association between blood manganese (Mn) levels and sarcopenia in adults. Methods In our study, we evaluated 8,135 individuals aged 18-59 years, utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2011 to 2018. We employed generalized additive model (GAM) to discern potential non-linear relationships and utilized the two-piecewise linear regression model to probe the association between blood Mn levels and sarcopenia. Results After adjusting for potential confounders, we identified non-linear association between blood Mn levels and sarcopenia, with an inflection point at 13.45 μg/L. The effect sizes and the confidence intervals on the left and right sides of the inflection point were 1.006 (0.996 to 1.048) and 1.082 (1.043 to 1.122), respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that the effect sizes of blood Mn on sarcopenia have significant differences in gender and different BMI groups. Conclusion Our results showed that a reverse U-shaped curve between blood Mn levels and sarcopenia, with an identified the inflection point at blood Mn level of 13.45 μg/L.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Muscle and bone are physiologically interconnected, but joint changes of muscle and bone with aging, and whether the muscle-bone changes are different by sex and by country has been little studied. We examined longitudinal associations of bone mineral density (BMD) and muscle mass or muscle strength in community-dwelling 65 years or older in the United States and Japan. METHODS The present analytic sample included 1129 women and men from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA) (mean age, 74.5 ± 7.5 years; women, 49.8%) and 1998 women and men from the National Institute for Longevity Sciences-Longitudinal Study of Aging (NILS-LSA) (mean age, 70.0 ± 4.5 years; women, 51.4%). Median follow-up was 4.6 (min-max, 0-15.4) years in the BLSA and 4.0 (min-max, 0-13.4) years in the NILS-LSA. We selected visits at which participants had BMD (whole body, pelvic, femoral neck, trochanter, and Ward's triangle BMDs) and muscle mass [appendicular lean mass, (ALM)] measured by DXA scan. In each bone site, we ran cohort-specific bivariate linear mixed-effects models adjusted for baseline age, sex, body height, body weight, fat mass, education year, and smoking status. Race was an additional adjustment in the BLSA. Additionally, we performed sex-specific analyses. RESULTS In the BLSA, the rate of change in ALM positively correlated with the rate of change in the whole body (rho = 0.30, P < 0.0001) and pelvic BMD (rho = 0.24, P < 0.0001), but not in trochanter, femoral neck, or Ward's triangle BMD (P > 0.05). In the NILS-LSA, ALM positively correlated with the rate of change in all bone sites (rho ranged from 0.20 to 0.71, P < 0.01). In women, ALM positively correlated with the rate of change in all bone sites in both cohorts (in the NILS-LSA, rho ranged from 0.35 to 0.91, P < 0.01; in the BLSA, rho ranged from 0.26 to 0.56, P < 0.05) except for femoral neck BMD in the BLSA. In men, ALM positively correlated with pelvic, trochanter, and Ward's triangle BMD in the NILS-LSA (rho ranged from 0.45 to 0.68, P < 0.0001), and whole body and trochanter BMD in the BLSA (both, rho = 0.20, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Muscle loss co-occurred with bone loss in both cohorts, but the association in the NILS-LSA tended to be stronger than in the BLSA, and the association was higher in women than in men, implying that the association may differ by sex and country.

[PMID: 38509497 PMCID: PMC10956338 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-024-07323-2] [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: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND People with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) present a higher tendency to develop sarcopenia and osteoporosis compared with the normal population. Currently, osteoporosis screening has been frequently performed among T2DM patients, but sarcopenia screening is relatively less, and the association between the two diseases remains unclear. Herein, this study aims to determine the association between sarcopenia and osteoporosis in Chinese T2DM patients. METHODS This was a retrospective study of 678 patients with T2DM in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. The bone mineral density (BMD) and muscle mass were measured by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scanning. The diagnostic criteria of sarcopenia referred to the consensus by the Asia Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS). RESULT Among T2DM patients, the proportion of the sarcopenia population complicated with osteoporosis was higher than that of the non-sarcopenia (30.9% vs. 8.6% in men and 46.9% vs. 33.9% in women), but only significantly in men. The BMD of the hip and femoral neck was positively correlated with skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), grip strength, and gait speed (P < 0.01). After adjusting all covariates, the association between sarcopenia and BMD showed odds ratios of 0.43 (95% CI:0.28-0.66) for the femoral neck and 0.49 (95% CI:0.32-0.73) for the hip. CONCLUSIONS The BMD of the hip and femoral neck in T2DM patients is related to sarcopenia-related indicators and represents an independent protective factor for sarcopenia. To reduce the risk of falls, fractures, and weakness, it is necessary to take sarcopenia assessment in people with T2DM and osteopenia/osteoporosis.

Abstract
Dietary flavonoids have been recommended for improving bone health due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and osteogenic properties. However, the effectiveness of each flavonoid subclass in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis remains controversial. The objective of the current study was to examine the association between the intake of flavonoid subclasses and bone loss in 10 480 U.S. adults in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We employed a multinomial logistic regression model to calculate the odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). The intake of flavones, isoflavones, and flavanones was beneficially associated with osteoporosis (ORQ5 vs. Q1 = 0.44; 95% CI: 0.30-0.64 for flavones; ORQ5 vs. Q1 = 0.53; 95% CI: 0.37-0.77 for isoflavones; ORQ5 vs. Q1 = 0.66; 95% CI: 0.45-0.97 for flavanones). A higher intake of flavones and flavanones was significantly associated with a lower risk of bone loss at the femoral neck rather than the lumbar spine. Notably, stratified analysis showed that genistein had a harmful association with osteopenia in the population with lower serum calcium levels, whereas it had a beneficial association with osteoporosis in the population with higher serum calcium levels. Multiple sensitivity analyses were performed to test the robustness of the results, including subgroup analysis, exclusion of individuals' use of anti-osteoporosis, corticosteroid, and estrogenic medications, adjusting more potential confounders and calculation of the E-value. Overall, incorporating this modifiable diet into an individual's lifestyle could provide potential possibilities to prevent and ameliorate osteoporosis.

Skeletal muscle index together with body mass index is associated with secondary osteoporosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Eur J Med Res 2024; 29:61. [PMID: 38245751 PMCID: PMC10799370 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-024-01665-2] [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: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to explore the associations of body mass index (BMI), fat mass index (FMI), skeletal mass index (SMI) and secondary osteoporosis (OP) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS The bone mineral density (BMD) at sites of the femur neck (Neck), total hip (Hip) and lumbar vertebrae 1-4 (L1-4) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The skeletal muscle index, body fat percentage and mineral content were measured by biological electrical impedance for calculating BMI, FMI and SMI. RESULTS A total of 433 patient with RA and 158 healthy controls were enrolled. The BMDs at each site of the RA patients were lower compared with those of the healthy controls (p < 0.0001), and the prevalence of OP (36.1%, 160/443) and sarcopenia (65.2%, 288/443) in the RA patients were higher than those in the controls (12.7%, 20/158, p < 0.0001; 9.0%, 14/156, p < 0.0001). Significant differences in the BMD, FMI, SMI, mineral content, body fat percentage and skeletal muscle mass were found among the RA patients in the different BMI groups (p < 0.05). In RA patients with BMI < 18.5 kg/m2, the prevalence of OP in the RA patients with sarcopenia was similar to that in those without sarcopenia (44.4% vs. 66. 7%, χ2 = 0. 574, p = 0.449). In the RA patients with a normal BMI or who were overweight or obese, prevalence of OP in the RA patients with sarcopenia was significantly higher than that in the RA patients without sarcopenia (42.8% vs. 21.7%, χ2 = 10.951, p = 0.001; 61.1% vs. 13.0%, χ2 = 26.270, p < 0.0001). In the RA patients without sarcopenia, the prevalence of OP in the RA patients in the different BMI groups was different (p = 0.039). In the RA patients with sarcopenia, there was no significant difference in the prevalence of OP among the RA patients in the different BMI groups (p = 0. 128). The linear correlation analysis showed that the SMI in RA patients was positively correlated with the BMD of each site measured and BMI and FMI (p < 0.0001). However, there was a negative linear correlation between SMI and disease duration (p = 0.048). The logistic regression analysis found that SMI (OR = 0.569, p = 0.002, 95% CI 0.399-0.810), BMI (OR = 0.884, p = 0.01, 95% CI 0.805-0.971) and gender (1 = female, 2 = male) (OR = 0.097, p < 0.0001, 95% CI 0.040-0.236) were protective factors for OP in RA, while age (OR = 1.098, p < 0.0001, 95% CI 1.071-1.125) was the risk factor. CONCLUSION BMI and SMI are associated with the occurrence of OP in RA patients, and both SMI and BMI are important protective factors for OP secondary to RA.

Abstract
The traditional view posits that bones and muscles interact primarily through mechanical coupling. However, recent studies have revealed that myokines, proteins secreted by skeletal muscle cells, play a crucial role in the regulation of bone metabolism. Myokines are widely involved in bone metabolism, influencing bone resorption and formation by interacting with factors related to bone cell secretion or influencing bone metabolic pathways. Here, we review the research progress on the myokine regulation of bone metabolism, discuss the mechanism of myokine regulation of bone metabolism, explore the pathophysiological relationship between sarcopenia and osteoporosis, and provide future perspectives on myokine research, with the aim of identify potential specific diagnostic markers and therapeutic entry points.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is associated with poor outcomes in patients with cirrhosis. However, the prevalence of and associated factors for developing sarcopenia in this population remain to be determined. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to summarize the prevalence, characteristics, and associated factors of sarcopenia in patients with cirrhosis. METHODS Electronic searches were performed from inception to June 9, 2022 to identify the eligible studies. We meta-analyzed the prevalence of sarcopenia in overall patients with cirrhosis and subgroups. Both crude and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were pooled using the random effects model. RESULTS A total of 55 studies involving 13,158 patients from 17 countries were included. The overall prevalence of sarcopenia was 40.1 % (95 % CI 35.4%-44.9 %) in patients with cirrhosis. The pooled prevalence was higher in males, Child-Pugh class C cirrhosis, decompensated stage, ascites, subjective global assessment class C cirrhosis, and when sarcopenia was defined by L3-SMI (third lumbar-skeletal muscle index) at a higher cutoff. In multivariate analysis, older age (adjusted OR 1.04, 95 % CI 1.00-1.07), male (adjusted OR 4.75, 95 % CI 2.72-8.28), lower body mass index (BMI) (adjusted OR 0.78, 95 % CI 0.73-0.83), alcoholic liver disease (ALD) (adjusted OR 1.43, 95 % CI 1.19-1.72), but not ascites and hepatic encephalopathy, were significantly associated with an increased risk of sarcopenia in patients with cirrhosis. CONCLUSION Sarcopenia is a prevalent complication, and older age, male patients, lower BMI, and patients with ALD are associated with an increased risk of sarcopenia in patients with cirrhosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Previous research has confirmed that patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus tend to have higher bone mineral density (BMD), but it is unknown whether this pattern holds true for individuals without diabetes. This Mendelian randomization (MR) study aims to investigate the potential causal relationship between various glycemic trait (including fasting glucose, fasting insulin, 2-h postprandial glucose, and glycated hemoglobin) and BMD in non-diabetic individuals. The investigation focuses on different age groups (15-30, 30-45, 45-60, and 60 + years) and various skeletal sites (forearm, lumbar spine, and hip). MATERIALS AND METHODS We utilized genome-wide association study data from large population-based cohorts to identify robust instrumental variables for each glycemic traits parameter. Our primary analysis employed the inverse-variance weighted method, with sensitivity analyses conducted using MR-Egger, weighted median, MR-PRESSO, and multivariable MR methods to assess the robustness and potential horizontal pleiotropy of the study results. RESULTS Fasting insulin showed a negative modulating relationship on both lumbar spine and forearm. However, these associations were only nominally significant. No significant causal association was observed between blood glucose traits and BMD across the different age groups. The direction of fasting insulin's causal effects on BMD showed inconsistency between genders, with potentially decreased BMD in women with high fasting insulin levels and an increasing trend in BMD in men. CONCLUSIONS In the non-diabetic population, currently available evidence does not support a causal relationship between glycemic traits and BMD. However, further investigation is warranted considering the observed gender differences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Falling in the older adults has many irreparable consequences, including hospitalization to long-term care centers and loss of independence, depression and social isolation, financial burden, and death. The present study was conducted to estimate the incidence of falls and their associated factors among community-dwelling older adults. METHODS This program is a population-based prospective cohort study (≥ 60 years) in Birjand City from 2019 to 2020. A total of 1418 participants were included in the study, and 1344 participants were analyzed according to the inclusion criteria. Thirty-nine risk factors were evaluated. Basic information included demographic information, lifestyle factors, general health and medical history, and mental and functional health. RESULT The incidence of falls among community-dwelling older adults in the previous approximately 24 months in the present study was 9.26% in women and 2.65% in men. In the multiple Cox proportional regression model based on fall risk factors, there was a strong significant relationship between male sex (HR = 0.37, CI = 0.21 to 0.64), being physically active (HR = 0.59, CI = 0.36 to 0.96), moderate-to-severe depression (HR = 2.97, CI = 1.47 to 6.01), severe depression (HR = 3.26, CI = 1.24 to 8.54), and high risk of falls according to the TUG test (HR = 1.73, CI = 1.10 to 2.72). CONCLUSIONS Inactivity and depression were recognized as important factors in falls in older adults. It is recommended for older adults to have an active lifestyle to prevent falls and to prioritize the diagnosis and treatment of depression in older adults. Women as a group at higher risk should be considered in prevention programs. In addition, the use of the TUG test to identify high-risk older adults should be considered.

Metabolomic profiles associated with physical activity in White and African American adult men. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0289077. [PMID: 37943870 PMCID: PMC10635561 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0289077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical activity (PA) is associated with various health benefits, especially in improving chronic health conditions. However, the metabolic changes in host metabolism in response to PA remain unclear, especially in racially/ethnically diverse populations. OBJECTIVE This study is to assess the metabolic profiles associated with the frequency of PA in White and African American (AA) men. METHODS Using the untargeted metabolomics data collected from 698 White and AA participants (mean age: 38.0±8.0, age range: 20-50) from the Louisiana Osteoporosis Study (LOS), we conducted linear regression models to examine metabolites that are associated with PA levels (assessed by self-reported regular exercise frequency levels: 0, 1-2, and ≥3 times per week) in White and AA men, respectively, as well as in the pooled sample. Covariates considered for statistical adjustments included race (only for the pooled sample), age, BMI, waist circumstance, smoking status, and alcohol drinking. RESULTS Of the 1133 untargeted compounds, we identified 7 metabolites associated with PA levels in the pooled sample after covariate adjustment with a false discovery rate of 0.15. Specifically, compared to participants who did not exercise, those who exercised at a frequency ≥3 times/week showed higher abundances in uracil, orotate, 1-(1-enyl-palmitoyl)-2-oleoyl-GPE (P-16:0/18:1) (GPE), threonate, and glycerate, but lower abundances in salicyluric glucuronide and adenine in the pooled sample. However, in Whites, salicyluric glucuronide and orotate were not significant. Adenine, GPE, and threonate were not significant in AAs. In addition, the seven metabolites were not significantly different between participants who exercised ≥3 times/week and 1-2 times/week, nor significantly different between participants with 1-2 times/week and 0/week in the pooled sample and respective White and AA groups. CONCLUSIONS Metabolite responses to PA are dose sensitive and may differ between White and AA populations. The identified metabolites may help advance our knowledge of guiding precision PA interventions. Studies with rigorous study designs are warranted to elucidate the relationship between PA and metabolites.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between creatinine to cystatin C ratio (CCR) and bone mineral density (BMD) in middle-aged and older adults. METHODS This cross-sectional study investigated participants aged 50-85, using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 1999 to 2002. The correlation between CCR and total BMD was assessed by multivariate linear regression models, using stratified analysis by age, sex and race (Mexican American, other Hispanic, non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, and other race) to distinguish various special populations. RESULTS Among 2992 patients, multiple regression models revealed a significant positive correlation between CCR and total BMD: model 1, 0.030 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.029, 0.031); model 2, 0.009 (95% CI 0.008, 0.010); model 3, 0.010 (95% CI 0.009, 0.013). After controlling for all covariates, a positive correlation was observed between CCR and total BMD in both men and women, and was further strengthened in older age groups. When stratifying by race, the positive correlation was most significant among 'other Hispanic' participants; there was no significant correlation among those of 'other race'. CONCLUSIONS A positive correlation was demonstrated between CCR and total BMD in middle-aged and older adults aged 50-85 years, with the most significant positive correlation in the older 'other Hispanic' population. No significant correlation was observed among participants of 'other race'.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The weight-adjusted waist circumference index (WWI) is a novel obesity indicator that offers improved accuracy in assessing both muscle and fat mass compared to traditional measures. This study aimed to investigate the association between WWI and bone mineral density (BMD) in adults. METHODS Weighted multivariate logistic regression, subgroup analysis, interaction tests and restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves were used to explore the relationship between WWI and BMD based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). RESULTS This study had 40,568 individuals in total. At all four measurement sites, we detected a negative linear correlation between WWI and BMD. Even when quartile factors for WWI were created, this unfavorable connection maintained. In comparison to those in the lowest quartile, those in the highest percentile of WWI showed declines in lumbar BMD of 0.08 g/cm2 and femoral neck BMD of 0.03 g/cm2, respectively. This adverse correlation, nevertheless, differed among several categories. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest an adverse correlation between WWI and BMD among US adults. Employing WWI as a tool for osteoporosis prevention in the general population may enhance interventions.

Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15071794. [PMID: 37049634 PMCID: PMC10097387 DOI: 10.3390/nu15071794] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Revised: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 04/01/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
The plant-based dietary pattern has been recommended for its potential health and environmental benefits, but its association with bone loss needs to be further explored. This study aimed to investigate the association between three plant-based diet indexes and bone loss in 16,085 adults, using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Three plant-based diet indexes (PDI, hPDI, and uPDI) were calculated from two NHANES 24-h dietary recall interviews, to characterize a plant-based diet. A multinomial logistic regression model was used to estimate the odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Higher hPDI and PDI were associated with increased risk of bone loss (ORQ5 vs. Q1 = 1.50; 95% CI: 1.24-1.81 for hPDI; ORQ5 vs. Q1 = 1.22; 95% CI: 1.03-1.45 for PDI), while higher uPDI was associated with increased risk of osteoporosis (ORQ5 vs. Q1 = 1.48; 95% CI: 1.04-2.11). A harmful association between plant-based diet indexes (hPDI and PDI) and osteopenia was observed at the lumbar spine rather than the femoral neck. We conducted several sensitivity analyses to ensure the robustness of results, including subgroup analysis, exclusion of people taking anti-osteoporotic and estrogenic drugs, further adjustment for menopausal status, corticosteroid usage, and dietary supplements, and calculation of E-value. Our study demonstrates the deleterious effects of a plant-based diet on bone health and emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet.

Association of osteoporosis and skeletal muscle loss with serum type I collagen carboxyl-terminal peptide β glypeptide: A cross-sectional study in elder Chinese population. Open Med (Wars) 2023; 18:20230642. [PMID: 36820065 PMCID: PMC9938641 DOI: 10.1515/med-2023-0642] [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: 08/27/2022] [Revised: 01/07/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Type I collagen carboxyl-terminal peptide β (β-CTX) increases in osteoporosis. The study aimed to explore the relationship between serum β-CTX and the risk of osteoporosis as well as sarcopenia in Chinese elderly inpatients. Around 228 patients whose age >65 years were recruited in this cross-sectional study. Dual-energy X-ray scanning was used to access skeletal muscle and bone mass. Serum concentration of β-CTX as well as the prevalence of osteoporosis were significantly higher in low skeletal muscle index (SMI) group than that in the normal SMI group (P < 0.05). Serum β-CTX levels negatively correlated with SMI and bone mass (P < 0.05). Total muscle mass, appendicular skeletal muscle mass, SMI, total bone mass, and bone mass at various sites including the limbs, spine, and pelvis decreased significantly, and the prevalence of low SMI increased with the increase of the quartiles of β-CTX. Higher serum β-CTX had an increased risk of low SMI and osteoporosis (P < 0.05). Summarily, with increasing serum β-CTX levels, both muscle and bone mass decreased in Chinese elderly inpatients. Serum β-CTX was positively associated with the risk of not only osteoporosis but also skeletal muscle loss.

A New Index Based on Serum Creatinine and Cystatin C Can Predict the Risks of Sarcopenia, Falls and Fractures in Old Patients with Low Bone Mineral Density. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14235020. [PMID: 36501049 PMCID: PMC9738634 DOI: 10.3390/nu14235020] [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: 09/27/2022] [Revised: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
As new screening tools for sarcopenia, the serum sarcopenia index (SI) and creatinine/cystatin C ratio (CCR) had not been confirmd in a population with a high fragility fracture risk. This study aimed to evaluate whether SI and CCR indicators are useful for diagnosing sarcopenia and to determine their prediction values for future falls and fractures. A total of 404 hospitalized older adults were enrolled in this longitudinal follow-up study (mean age = 66.43 ± 6.80 years). The receiver operating curve (ROC) was used to assess the diagnostic accuracy of SI and CCR. Backward-selection binary logistic regression was applied to develop the optimal models for the diagnosis of new falls and fractures. SI had a significantly higher area under the curve (AUC) than CCR for predicting sarcopenia. The optimal models had acceptable discriminative powers for predicting new falls and fractures. Lower SI and CCR are the independent risks for sarcopenia, new falls, and fractures in the low-BMD population. SI and CCR, as easily accessible biochemical markers, may be useful in the detection of sarcopenia and in predicting the occurrence of new falls and fractures in patients with low BMD who have not previously experienced falls or fractures. However, further external validations are required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study examined the associations between physical activity, obesity, and sarcopenia in middle-aged and older adults. METHODS We analyzed the data of 8, 919 study participants aged between 45 to 97 (mean age = 57.2 ± 8.8) from a Southern state in the United States. Self-reported physical activity was classified to regular exercise ≥ 3 times/week, < 3 times/week, and no regular exercise. Associations between physical activity, obesity and sarcopenia were explored with generalized linear models and ordinal logistic regressions stratified by age (middle-aged and older adults) and gender adjusting for covariates. RESULTS In middle-aged and older adults, all examined obesity related traits (e.g., body mass index, waist circumference) were inversely associated with physical activity levels (p < 0.01) in both genders. Exercising ≥ 3 times/week was negatively associated with lean mass indicators (e.g., appendicular lean mass) in middle-aged and older females (p < 0.01), while the negative associations become positive after adjusting for weight. Positive associations between physical activity and grip strength were only found in middle-aged males (p < 0.05). Ordinal logistic regression revealed that those exercising ≥ 3 times/week were less likely to have obesity, sarcopenia, and sarcopenia obesity in all groups (p < 0.01), except for sarcopenia in older males and females (p > 0.05). Positive associations of exercising < 3 times/week with sarcopenia and sarcopenia obesity were only found in middled adults. CONCLUSION The associations of exercise frequency with obesity and sarcopenia vary considerably across gender and age groups. Exercise programs need to be individualized to optimize health benefits. Future research exploring physical activity strategies to balance weight reduction and lean mass maintaining is warranted in middle-aged and especially older adults.

Differences of body composition and physical strength among Japanese and Thai older adults living in Chiang Mai, Thailand: an inter-ethnic cross-sectional study. Environ Health Prev Med 2021; 26:97. [PMID: 34587891 PMCID: PMC8482572 DOI: 10.1186/s12199-021-01017-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2021] [Accepted: 09/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of adults aged over 65 years is rapidly increasing in several Southeast Asian countries. Muscle mass decreases with age, leading to sarcopenia. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether differences exist in the body composition and physical strength, according to ethnicity, among community-dwelling Japanese and Thai older adults living in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. METHODS A survey was conducted in February and March 2019. Japanese and Thai adults aged ≥ 60 years living in Chiang Mai Province were recruited through community clubs. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire that enabled collection of data on age, sex, educational background, marital status, annual income, current medical conditions, smoking and alcohol consumption, and exercise habits. Measurements were collected on height, weight, body composition, blood pressure, hand grip, and walking speed for 6 m. Body composition was measured using a standing-posture 8-electrode multifrequency bioimpedance analysis analyzer. Hand grip of each hand was measured with the patient in the standing position using a digital grip dynamometer. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with skeletal muscle mass index (SMI). RESULTS Of the total 119 participants, 47 were Japanese (26 men, 21 women) and 72 were Thai (16 men, 56 women). The prevalence of a low SMI was 3/26 (12%), 1/21 (5%), 6/16 (38%), and 5/56 (9%) among Japanese men, Japanese women, Thai men, and Thai women, respectively. The prevalence of low muscle strength was 2/26 (8%), 2/21 (10%), 3/16 (19%), and 13/56 (23%) among Japanese men, Japanese women, Thai men, and Thai women, respectively. There were significant differences between ethnic groups in body mass index for both sexes, percentage body fat in women, SMI in men, and average grip strength in men. Ethnic group, sex, age, and body mass index were independent predictors of SMI. CONCLUSIONS Ethnicity had a clinically important effect on body composition and physical strength among older Japanese and Thai adults living in a similar environment.
