Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study used systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the association between Helicobacter pylori infection and osteoporosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed, Ovid and Web of Science were searched to include observational studies published in English comparing bone mineral density changes between Helicobacter pylori-positive and -negative participants. The quality of the included literature was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS). R software was used for meta-analysis, and odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to evaluate the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and osteoporosis. RESULTS Twenty-two studies involving 24,176 participants were included in the study. Our meta-analysis showed that Helicobacter pylori infection was significantly associated with the risk of osteoporosis (OR: 1.12, 95%CI: 1.03, 1.22). Participants infected with the CagA-positive Helicobacter pylori strain were more likely to develop osteoporosis (OR = 1.42, 95%CI: 1.09; 1.85). CONCLUSION Infection with Helicobacter pylori, particularly the CagA-positive strain, has been associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis. The bone health of Helicobacter pylori-positive patients deserves more attention.

The Association between Helicobacter pylori Seropositivity and Bone Mineral Density in Adults. Mediators Inflamm 2022; 2022:2364666. [PMID: 35418807 PMCID: PMC9001096 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2364666] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2022] [Revised: 03/19/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives Current evidence on the associations between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and bone mineral density (BMD) is conflicting. Therefore, a nationally representative sample of adults was analyzed to investigate the associations of H. pylori seropositivity and BMD in this study. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted with 2555 subjects aged 40-85 years in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999–2001. Multivariable logistic regression models were performed to evaluate the associations between H. pylori seropositivity and BMD. Subgroup analyses stratified by sex, age, race, and body mass index (BMI) were performed. Results No association was found between H. pylori seropositivity and BMD (β = 0.006, 95% CI: -0.003 to 0.015, P = 0.177). In the subgroup analyses stratified by age, a positive association was observed between the H. pylori seropositivity and total BMD among subjects aged 40-55 years (β = 0.018, 95% CI: 0.004 to 0.033, P = 0.012); in the subgroup analyses stratified by sex, a positive association was observed between the H. pylori seropositive and total BMD in male (β = 0.019, 95% CI: 0.007 to 0.032, P = 0.003); in the subgroup analyses stratified by age and sex, the total BMD was higher in men aged 40-55 years with H. pylori seropositive than those with H. pylori seronegative (β = 0.034, 95% CI: 0.013 to 0.056, P = 0.002). Conclusions In conclusion, no association between H. pylori seropositive and total BMD was demonstrated among most middle-aged and elderly adults. H. pylori infection may not be one key factor in the loss of BMD.

Association of Helicobacter pylori infection with osteoporosis risk in a physical examination population. Arch Osteoporos 2022; 17:35. [PMID: 35156153 DOI: 10.1007/s11657-022-01074-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2021] [Accepted: 02/06/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
The association between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and osteoporosis risk remains equivocal. Our findings showed that H. pylori infection appears to have no effect on the risk of osteopenia and osteoporosis. Weight status may modify the association of H. pylori infection with low bone mass. PURPOSE To evaluate the association between baseline H. pylori infection and osteoporosis risk in the general population. METHODS From January 1, 2019, to March 31, 2020, 1388 women and men aged over 50 years underwent a health examination. H. pylori infection was detected by the 13C urea breath test. Subjects were classified as having normal bone mineral density (BMD), osteopenia, and osteoporosis according to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Chi-square tests and multinomial logistic regression models were performed to analyze the associations of H. pylori infection with osteopenia and osteoporosis. RESULTS Of the 1388 participants, 545 (39.3%) were H. pylori-positive. The prevalence rates of osteoporosis and osteopenia were 10.2% and 32.3%, respectively. No differences were observed in the rates of osteoporosis and osteopenia between H. pylori-positive and H. pylori-negative groups (P > 0.05). The association for the trend between the H. pylori infection and osteoporosis was only seen in the nonoverweight subgroup (trend χ2 = 5.455, P = 0.02). The odds ratio (OR) between H. pylori infection and osteoporosis was 1.31 (95% CI, 0.86-2.02, P = 0.211) after adjusting for sex, age, and body weight status. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate that H. pylori infection is not an independent risk factor for osteopenia and osteoporosis. This study did not support the association of H. pylori infection with osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Previous studies suggested an association between Helicobacter pylori infection and osteoporosis; however, large-scale longitudinal studies are lacking to elucidate this association. METHODS A cohort study of 10 482 women without osteoporosis at baseline who participated in a repeated health-screening examination including an H. pylori-specific immunoglobulin G antibody test was conducted to evaluate the association between H. pylori and osteoporosis development. Osteoporosis was diagnosed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. RESULTS During the 77 515.3 person-years of follow-up, women with H. pylori infection had a higher rate of incident osteoporosis than those who were uninfected. In a multivariable model adjusted for age, body mass index (BMI), menopausal status, smoking status, regular exercise, comorbidities (including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, stroke, or ischemic heart disease), and concomitant medications, the hazard ratio (HR) for incident osteoporosis in women with H. pylori infection compared with that in women without infection was 1.23 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03-1.45). The association between H. pylori and osteopenia development was also evident. In the multivariable analysis, menopause (HR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.31-2.16) and increasing age (HR, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.06-1.08) were identified as significant risk factors for osteoporosis, whereas higher BMI (HR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.81-0.87) was a protective factor for the risk of osteoporosis. CONCLUSIONS In this cohort study, H. pylori infection was associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis, independent of risk factors and confounding factors.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) and osteoporotic fractures (OFs) are common multifactorial and heterogenic disorders of increasing incidence. Helicobacter pylori (H.p.) colonizes the stomach approximately in half of the world's population, causes gastroduodenal diseases and is prevalent in numerous extra-digestive diseases known to be associated with OP/OF. The studies regarding relationship between H.p. infection (HPI) and OP/OFs are inconsistent. The current review summarizes the relevant literature on the potential role of HPI in OP, falls and OFs and highlights the reasons for controversies in the publications. In the first section, after a brief overview of HPI biological features, we analyze the studies evaluating the association of HPI and bone status. The second part includes data on the prevalence of OP/OFs in HPI-induced gastroduodenal diseases (peptic ulcer, chronic/atrophic gastritis and cancer) and the effects of acid-suppressive drugs. In the next section, we discuss the possible contribution of HPI-associated extra-digestive diseases and medications to OP/OF, focusing on conditions affecting both bone homeostasis and predisposing to falls. In the last section, we describe clinical implications of accumulated data on HPI as a co-factor of OP/OF and present a feasible five-step algorithm for OP/OF risk assessment and management in regard to HPI, emphasizing the importance of an integrative (but differentiated) holistic approach. Increased awareness about the consequences of HPI linked to OP/OF can aid early detection and management. Further research on the HPI-OP/OF relationship is needed to close current knowledge gaps and improve clinical management of both OP/OF and HPI-related disorders.
