Abstract
OBJECTIVES The current study sought to investigate whether physical function and activity were associated with hip structural analysis (HSA) parameters on the non-fracture side of patients with hip fractures. METHODS Participants were patients with unilateral hip fracture treated by surgery. HSA of the proximal femur was conducted based on dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry data. HSA parameters in the narrow neck region included cross-sectional area (CSA), cross-sectional moment of inertia (CSMI), section modulus (SM), and buckling ratio (BR). Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was conducted to identify predictors of HSA. RESULTS Except for the adjustment variables, age, gender and BMI, other variables were extracted. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis (standardised partial regression coefficients) identified movement control during one-leg standing on the non-fractured side (0.15) as factors associated with CSA. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis (standardised partial regression coefficients) identified hand grip (0.12, 0.23) as factors associated with CSMI and SM, respectively. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis (standardised partial regression coefficients) identified presence of steroid (0.23) and cerebrovascular disease (0.19) as factors associated with BR. The coefficients of determination adjusted for degrees of freedom (R2) were 0.545, 0.331, 0.401, and 0.148 for CSA, CSMI, SM, and BR, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that movement control during 1-leg standing and muscle strength may be important for maintaining and improving bone strength.

Prevalence of osteoporosis and incidence of related fractures in developed economies in the Asia Pacific region: a systematic review. Osteoporos Int 2023; 34:1037-1053. [PMID: 36735053 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-022-06657-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Robust data on osteoporosis in the Asia Pacific region could improve healthcare decision-making. Osteoporosis affects 10-30% of women aged 40 + , and up to 10% of men in 7 developed economies in Asia Pacific. Fractures affect 500-1000 adults aged 50 + per 100,000 person-years. Policymakers and clinicians must address this problem. PURPOSE Osteoporosis and associated fractures result in considerable morbidity, loss of productivity, early mortality, and increased healthcare expenses. Many countries in the Asia Pacific (AP) region, especially middle- and higher-income economies, are faced with aging and increasingly sedentary populations. It is critical to consolidate and analyze the available information on the prevalence and incidence of the disease in these countries. METHODS We systematically reviewed articles and gray literature for Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. We searched PubMed, ScienceDirect, JSTOR, Cochrane, Google Scholar, and other databases for data published 2009-2018. We included articles with prevalence or incidence estimates for adults with osteoporosis or related fractures. RESULTS All locations had data available, but of widely varying quantity and quality. Most estimates for osteoporosis prevalence ranged from 10 to 30% for women ages 40 and older, and up to 10% for men. Osteoporotic fracture incidence typically ranged between 500 and 1000 per 100,000 person-years among adults aged 50 and older. Both outcomes typically increased with age and were more common among women. CONCLUSION Osteoporosis and associated fractures affect significant portions of the adult population in developed economies in the AP region. Governments and healthcare systems must consider how best to prevent and diagnose osteoporosis, and manage affected individuals, to reduce healthcare costs and mortality associated with fractures.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Both hip fracture and bone mineral density (BMD) decline on the non-fractured side are more likely to occur within 1 year. However, there are no longitudinal study reports on the factors associated with BMD maintenance or improvement within the first year after hip fracture. This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing the neck BMD maintenance or improvement in patients with hip fractures from within 2 weeks-6 months after surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were hip fracture after surgery and were divided into two groups: Among neck BMD changes (6 months minus 2 weeks after surgery) were calculated. Based on among neck BMD change, patients were classified into the BMD maintenance or improvement (change ≥ 0) and the BMD decrease groups (change < 0). Propensity score matching was performed to adjust for confounding factors. To predict the factors affecting neck BMD, hierarchical logistic regression analysis was performed. The dependent variable was the BMD maintenance or improvement group and the BMD decrease group. The independent variables were basic and medical information, and physical functions. RESULTS The hierarchical logistic regression analysis results showed that movement control during one-leg standing affected femoral neck BMD independently from age, sex. The odds ratio for movement control during one-leg standing was 8.22. The discrimination rate of the model was 69.7%. CONCLUSION This study suggested that adequate movement control during one-leg standing is important to maintain or improve neck BMD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review was to synthesise all published evidence on associations between one-legged balance performance and falls. METHODS Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL and Web of Science were systematically searched (to January 2021) to identify peer-reviewed, English language journal articles examining the association between one-legged balance performance and falls in community-dwelling adults. RESULTS Of 4310 records screened, 55 papers were included (n = 36954 participants). There was considerable heterogeneity between studies including differences in study characteristics, ascertainment of balance and falls, and analytical approaches. A meta-analysis of the time that individuals could maintain the one-legged balance position indicated that fallers had worse balance times than non-fallers (standardised mean difference: -0.29 (95%CI:-0.38,-0.20) in cross-sectional analyses; -0.19 (-0.28, -0.09) in longitudinal analyses), although there was no difference in the pooled median difference. Due to between-study heterogeneity, regression estimates between balance and fall outcomes could not be synthesised. Where assessed, prognostic accuracy indicators suggested that one-legged balance was a poor discriminator of fall risk; for example, 5 of 7 studies demonstrated poor prognostic accuracy (Area Under the Curve <0.6), with most studies demonstrating poor sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review identified 55 papers that examined associations between balance and fall risk, the majority in older aged adults. However, the evidence was commonly of low quality and results were inconsistent. This contradicts previous perceptions of one-legged balance as a useful fall risk tool and highlights crucial gaps that must be addressed in order to translate such assessments to clinical settings.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Since muscles can influence bone growth and vice versa, we examined if level of physical activity and physical capability tests can predict areal bone mineral density (aBMD). Both high activity level and good test performance were associated with higher aBMD, especially in women. INTRODUCTION Muscle influences bone formation and vice versa. Tests of physical capability and level of physical activity reflect various muscle qualities. We assessed the associations between total hip aBMD and physical activity as well as a range of standardized physical capability tests in an adult general population. METHODS A total of 3 533 women and men aged 40-84 years, participating in the population-based cross-sectional Tromsø study in Norway in 2015-2016, were included. Linear regression was used to assess associations between aBMD and physical activity and the physical capability tests grip strength, Timed Up and Go (TUG), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), and standing balance. Non-linear associations were examined in cubic spline models. Standardized regression coefficients were calculated to compare effect sizes across physical capability measures. RESULTS In fully adjusted models, higher physical activity was positively associated with total hip aBMD in both sexes compared to a sedentary lifestyle. All tests of physical capability were associated with aBMD in women, SPPB showing the strongest association although effect sizes were too small to indicate clinically significant differences (1 point increase corresponded to an aBMD increase of 0.009 g/cm2, CI = 0.005 to 0.012). In men, SPPB and its subtests were associated with aBMD with chair rises showing the strongest association (1 s increase in execution time corresponded to an aBMD decrease of 0.005 g/cm2, CI = 0.008 to 0.002). CONCLUSION Physical activity was associated with aBMD, and tests of physical capability can account for some of the aBMD variations in adults aged 40 years and older, especially in women.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prior studies have focused only on the temporal component of one-leg standing, no reports have examined the relationship between the qualitative components of one-leg standing and femoral BMD. Thus, this study investigated whether quality (i.e., movement control) of one-leg standing also associated femoral BMD. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 80 patients with unilateral hip fracture were included in a cross-sectional study. Basic and medical information and physical functions including movement control during one-leg standing were assessed at admission and 2 weeks after surgery, respectively. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of femoral BMDs on the non-fractured side. Dependent variables included femoral neck and total hip BMDs in models 1 and 2, respectively. RESULTS Hierarchical multiple regression analysis (standardized partial regression coefficients) in model 1 identified age (- 0.18), sex (0.38), body mass index (BMI) (0.41), movement control during one-leg standing on the non-fractured side (0.19), and life-space assessment (0.17) as factors associating femoral neck BMD. Meanwhile, hierarchical multiple regression analysis (standardized partial regression coefficients) in model 2 identified age (- 0.12), sex (0.36), BMI (0.37), and movement control during one-leg standing on the non-fractured side (0.25) as factors associating total hip BMD. The coefficients of determination adjusted for degrees of freedom (R2) were 0.529 and 0.470 for models 1 and 2, respectively. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that improving movement control during one-leg standing may be important for maintaining and improving femoral BMD on the non-fractured side.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone mineral density (BMD) assessments alone might not be sufficient for assessing fracture risk in the whole population, and decreased balance is an important risk factor for fracture. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between baseline physical performance and fracture risk. METHODS This community-based cohort study was conducted in rural areas. The follow-up examination was performed in 4015 subjects for approximately 4 years. We used the one-leg standing time (OLST) to assess static balance and the timed up-and-go test (TUGT) to assess dynamic balance. Fractures were assessed during the medical interview. RESULTS The participants were divided into quartile groups according to their performance level, and the lowest baseline OLST performance was associated with a 2.1-fold increased risk of major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) independent of age, gender, hip BMD, fall incidence, and lifestyle factors. The participants in the low performance quartile of baseline OLST or TUGT performance had an increased incidence of osteoporosis and falling compared to that in the participants in the highest baseline performance quartile after adjusting for covariates. Among the participants with a femoral neck T-score above -2.5, the participants with an OLST below 14 s had a 1.7-fold higher risk of MOF than the participants with an OLST of 14 s or more. CONCLUSIONS The measurement of static balance by the OLST predicted the risk of fracture in Korean adults independent of BMD and fall history. Our results suggest that the OLST may have clinical utility in identifying individuals at risk of fracture, especially those who might not be adequately identified by BMD measurements alone.

Abstract
Recent genetic studies in rodents have revealed that circulating serotonin plays a key role in regulating bone formation and skeletal mass. However, the reported effects of circulating serotonin on bone mass in humans have been conflicting. We determined whether circulating serotonin levels influenced the rate of bone loss and fractures in men. We assessed the effect of serum serotonin on bone loss rate in a population-based cohort of 202 ambulatory men aged 56-70 years who were followed up for a median duration of 3.7 years. Serum serotonin levels were assayed, and the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT) was performed, at baseline. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was performed both at baseline and during follow-up. Fracture prevalence was assessed using questionnaires. The serotonin levels were inversely associated with the lumbar spine bone mineral density (r = -0.174, p = 0.028) at baseline. No association was evident between the bone mineral densities of the femoral neck or total hip and serotonin level. The annual rates of bone loss from the lumbar spine, the femoral neck, and the total hip were 0.01%, 0.46%, and 0.46%, respectively. The baseline serum serotonin level did not predict the bone loss rate in any skeletal site. Lower limb disability evident upon TUGT at baseline predicted bone loss from the total hip. No significant difference of serotonin level was observed between subjects with and without fractures. The serum serotonin level was not associated with the rate of bone loss in elderly men. Thus, the circulating serotonin level does not reliably predict bone loss.
