Abstract
Bone and muscle impairment, named osteoporosis and sarcopenia, may co-occur with age, and patients with both disorders might exhibit physical frailty. One-hundred sixty-three patients were included. 14.2% had both disorders and presented more frequent with previous fall, reduced daily activity level, walk/balance challenges, and need of walking aid, indicating overall frailty. PURPOSE In older adults, sarcopenia (muscle impairment) and physical frailty may accompany osteoporosis (bone brittleness), yet osteoporosis is typically assessed without evaluating these conditions, even though coexistence may contribute to exacerbated negative health outcomes. We aimed at evaluating the prevalence of sarcopenia and impaired muscle domains in osteoporotic patients and explore the risk of osteosarcopenia from markers of physical frailty. METHODS In Copenhagen, Denmark, osteoporotic patients aged 65 + were assessed cross-sectionally in 2018-2019. Evaluations included muscle mass, strength, and function; bone mineral density; and self-reported physical activity, fall, balance challenges, dizziness, and the need of walking aid. Low bone mass, low-energy fracture, or treatment with anti-osteoporotic medication defined patient with osteoporosis, and sarcopenia was defined by low muscle strength and mass. Osteosarcopenia was defined from the coexistence of both conditions. RESULTS One-hundred sixty-three patients with osteoporosis were included. Of those, 23 (14.2%) exhibited sarcopenia, hence osteosarcopenia. Hand-grip-strength, 30-s-chair-stand-test, relative-appendicular-lean-muscle-mass, and gait-speed were below cut-off levels in 21.0%, 30.9%, 28.8%, and 23.6% of the patients, respectively. Previous fall, activity level, walk and balance challenges, and need of walking aid were statistically (or borderline) significantly more often affected in the osteosarcopenic group compared with the solely osteoporotic. Logistic regression analysis, however, revealed that only the need for walking aid significantly increased the risk of an osteosarcopenia diagnosis (odds ratio 5.54, 95% CI (1.95-15.76), p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Sarcopenia and impaired muscle domains were frequent in osteoporotic patients, as were markers of physical frailty, indicating the need of thorough examination of osteoporotic patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We investigated sex differences in the associations between dairy consumption and the physical function among community-dwelling older adults. METHODS Six hundred and fifty-six older adults (75.6 ± 6.4 years old) participated in this study. Dairy consumption (5-item Likert score) and the physical function (gait speed, handgrip strength, and skeletal muscle mass) were measured. The linear and quadratic associations between dairy consumption and the physical function measures were examined by a multiple linear regression analysis adjusted for covariates. RESULTS Among women, an increased dairy consumption was significantly linearly associated with greater hand-grip strength and faster gait speed (both p<0.05) after adjusting for covariates. Among men, dairy consumption was not associated with the physical function measures. Dairy consumption was not associated with the muscle mass in either sex. CONCLUSIONS Increased dairy consumption was associated with a superior physical function in older women.

Abstract
Aim: To investigate risk factors of fragility fractures among older people. Data Sources: The electronic databases employed were PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar from 2016 to December 2021. Review Method: The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-sectional study. Two independent reviewers screened total 147 articles. Results: Twelve studies were finally included in this review that consisted of 7 cross sectional, 2 longitudinal and 3 cohort studies. Six studies were of good quality and six were fair. Studies that were of good quality showed that physical performance, muscle strength, and falls due to balance impairment were associated with an increased of fragility fractures. While the results for sarcopenia status were uncertain. Conclusion: This review suggests that physical functional related factors were main contributors to the risk of fragility fracture among older people. Lack of research in this area warrants more studies to be carried out in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to prospectively analyze the risk factors for new falls and fragility fractures in self-caring elderly patients and to find suitable evaluation tools for community screening and follow-up interventions. METHODS A total of 300 participants (187 male and 113 female), aged 80 or above and capable of caring for themselves, were enrolled in this study and observed for a period of 12 months. Their medical histories were collected, various indicators were measured, and the risk factors for new falls and fragility fractures were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 290 participants were included in the statistical analysis. Eighty-seven participants (30%) had new falls. The incidence was negatively correlated with the activities of daily living (ADL, represented by the Barthel Index) score (P=0.008) but was positively correlated with the timed up-and-go (TUG) test score> 12 s (P=0.021). The results also revealed that 33 fragility fractures occurred in 29 patients (10.0%), which was positively correlated with new falls (P=0.000). New fragility fractures were negatively correlated with the bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar vertebrae (P=0.012) and walking speed (P=0.000). CONCLUSION TUG, walking speed, the ADL score, and the fall risk assessment scale can simply and effectively assess the risk of new falls and fragility fractures in the elderly population, and their use should be widely implemented in the community.

Comparison of morbidity and mortality of hip and vertebral fragility fractures: Which one has the highest burden? Osteoporos Sarcopenia 2020; 6:146-150. [PMID: 33102809 PMCID: PMC7573502 DOI: 10.1016/j.afos.2020.07.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2020] [Revised: 07/11/2020] [Accepted: 07/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives Hip fragility fractures were regarded as one of the most severe, but recent papers report on the underestimated burden of vertebral compression fractures. This study aims to compare morbidity and mortality of hip and vertebral fragility fractures in patients treated in the same setting. Methods Patients aged ≥50 years with hip fracture, and those with vertebral fracture presenting to our hospital between January 2014 and January 2017 were included. Patients were evaluated 1 year after their index fracture. SF-36 scores, mortality, and institutionalization are then recorded. Patients were divided into 2 groups: hip fractures and vertebral fractures. Results There were 106 and 90 patients respectively evaluated in hip and vertebral fracture groups at 1 year. Patients in both groups were comparable for age, sex, comorbidities and neuropsychiatric condition (P > 0.05). At 1 year follow-up, SF-36 showed better averages in all 8 scales in hip fracture group compared to vertebral fracture group. Mortality in the hip fracture group reached 32.1% compared to 10% for the vertebral fracture group (P < 0.01). Fifteen patients were institutionalized in the hip fracture group compared to 18 patients in the vertebral fracture group (P > 0.05). Conclusions When comparing patients treated in the same setting, hip fracture is associated with significantly increased mortality than vertebral fracture; however, the latter is associated with more morbidity.

Abstract
To evaluate the effects of two fall‐prevention and anti‐osteoporotic protocols in elderly patients with osteopenia (OPA). Methods The present randomized controlled study included patients with OPA (n =123). The age of these patients was ≥80 years old, with the mean age of 83.54 ± 2.99 years, and the male‐to‐female ratio was 2.97:1.00. Fall‐prevention guidance was given to all patients. Patients in the experiment group (n = 62) orally received 600 mg/d of calcium carbonate, 0.5 μg/d of alfacalcidol, and 70 mg/week of alendronate, while patients in the control group (n = 61) orally received 600 mg/d of calcium carbonate and 0.5 μg/d of alfacalcidol for 18 months. The grip strength, gait speed, bone turnover markers, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and bone mineral density were measured, and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and the chair rising test (CRT) were performed. Falls, fragility fractures, medication compliance, and side effects of the drugs were recorded. Results The serum levels of bone turnover markers (type I procollagen amino‐terminal peptide [P1NP], type I collagen carboxyl terminal peptide [β‐CTx], and osteocalcin [OC]) decreased, while the bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and bilateral femoral neck increased after treatment in the experiment group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The rate of change in bone mineral density of the bilateral femoral neck was higher in the experiment group than the control group (3.43% vs 0.03%, P < 0.05; 2.86% vs −0.02%, P < 0.01). After treatment, the proportion of patients with increased hip T scores in the experiment group (66.1%, 41/62) was significantly higher than the proportion (35.0%, 21/60) in the control group (P = 0.001). The incidence of fall decreased in both groups after treatment compared to that before treatment (54.8% vs 33.9% and 54.1% vs 36.7%, respectively; P < 0.05). The incidence of fragility fractures was lower in the experiment group than the control group (8.1% vs 20.0%, P = 0.057). During the intervention period, the incidence of fragility fractures in patients who did not fall (3.8%, 3/79) was significantly lower than that in patients who fell (32.6%, 14/43) (P = 0.000). The risk of fragility fractures was significantly lower in patients who did not fall compared to patients who fell (relative risk: 0.117, 95% confidence interval: 0.035–0.384). Conclusion The combination of alendronate sodium with alfacalcidol and calcium can significantly improve the bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and femoral neck. For older patients with OPA, subjectively paying attention to avoiding falls can significantly reduce the risk of fragility fractures.

Abstract
Aims To examine the relationship of sex steroid hormones with osteopenia in a nationally representative sample of men in the USA. Methods Data on bone mineral density (BMD), serum sex hormones, dairy consumption, smoking status, and body composition were available for 806 adult male participants of the cross-sectional National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 1999-2004). We estimated associations between quartiles of total and estimated free oestradiol (E2) and testosterone (T) and osteopenia (defined as 1 to 2.5 SD below the mean BMD for healthy 20- to 29-year-old men) by applying sampling weights and using multivariate-adjusted logistic regression. We then estimated the association between serum hormone concentrations and osteopenia by percentage of body fat, frequency of dairy intake, cigarette smoking status, age, and race/ethnicity. Results Men in the lowest quartile of total E2 concentrations (< 21.52 pg/ml) had greater odds of osteopenia compared with men in the highest quartile (odds ratio (OR) 2.29, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.11 to 4.73; p-trend = 0.030). Total and free T were not associated with osteopenia. Low total E2 concentrations were associated with greater odds of osteopenia among non-daily dairy consumers (p-trend = 0.046), current or former smokers (p-trend = 0.032), and younger men (p-trend = 0.031). No differences were observed by race/ethnicity and obesity. Conclusion In this nationally representative study of the USA, men with lower total E2 were more likely to have osteopenia, which was particularly evident among younger men, men with less-than-daily dairy consumption, and current or former smokers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Menopause can lead to osteoporosis, which is characterized by destruction of bone microstructure, poor mechanical properties, and prone to fracture. LIPUS can effectively promote bone formation and fracture healing. MSTN is a transforming growth factor-β family member that acts as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. A MSTN deficiency also has a positive effect on bone formation. However, whether LIPUS could inhibit bone loss and promote healing of bone injury of menopause through the inhibition of the MSTN signaling pathway has not been previously investigated. We herein investigated the effects of LIPUS on bone architecture, mechanical properties, the healing of bone defects, and its potential molecular mechanisms in ovariectomized rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS The rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham ovariectomized group (Sham), ovariectomized model group (OVX), ovariectomized model with LIPUS therapy group (OVX + LIPUS). The OVX + LIPUS rats were treated with LIPUS (1.5 MHz, 30 mW/cm2) on the femur for 20 min/day that lasted for 19 days. RESULTS LIPUS effectively improved the bone microstructure, increased mechanical properties and promoted the healing of bone defects in ovariectomized rats. Moreover, LIPUS effectively decreased the MSTN content in serum and quadriceps muscle in ovariectomized rats, and inhibited the expression of MSTN downstream signaling molecules and activated the Wnt signaling pathway in the femur. CONCLUSIONS The present study shows that LIPUS improved osteoporosis and promoted bone defect healing in the ovariectomized rats may through the inhibition of the MSTN signal pathway.

Prevalence of falls in adult and older adult psychiatric patients in China: A systematic review and comprehensive meta-analysis of observational studies. Psychiatry Res 2018; 266:18-25. [PMID: 29800776 DOI: 10.1016/j.psychres.2018.05.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2018] [Revised: 04/25/2018] [Accepted: 05/05/2018] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Falls have significant health consequences and are common in psychiatric patients. Findings on the prevalence of falls in Chinese adult and older adult psychiatric inpatients have been inconsistent. This meta-analysis examined the pooled prevalence of falls in adult and older adult psychiatric inpatients in China. Both English (PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library) and Chinese (China National Knowledge Interne, WanFang Data and SinoMed) databases were searched independently by three reviewers. The pooled prevalence of falls and its 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using the random effects model were calculated. A total of 39 studies covering 204,234 inpatients were analyzed. The pooled prevalence of falls in adult and older adult (≥60 years) patients was 3% (95% CI: 1.8%-5%) and 7.3% (95%CI: 5.0%-10.6%), respectively. Subgroup analyses revealed that the prevalence of falls was significantly associated with the psychiatric diagnostic criteria and study sample size. This meta-analysis found that the prevalence of falls among adult and older adult psychiatric patients in China was significantly high, although less than that was reported from Western psychiatric inpatient settings.

Abstract
We evaluated the rate and risk factors associated with falls and recurrent falls in a multi-ethnic Asian population. 10,009 participants aged ≥40 years (mean[SD] age = 58.9[10.4] years) underwent clinical examinations and completed interviewer-administered questionnaires. Participants who self-reported at least one fall or ≥2 falls in past 12 months were defined as fallers and recurrent fallers, respectively. Age-standardized rates for falls and recurrent falls were 13.8% (95%CI, 13.1–14.6%) and 4.6% (95%CI, 4.2–5.1%), respectively. Multivariable analyses showed older age (OR = 1.20; 95%CI, 1.11–1.30), female gender (OR = 1.79; 95%CI, 1.54–2.07), diabetes (OR = 1.22; 95%CI, 1.07–1.40), cardiovascular disease (CVD, OR = 1.37; 95%CI, 1.14–1.65), ≥3 systemic comorbidities (OR = 1.35; 95%CI, 1.09–1.67), lower European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) score (OR = 1.36; 95%CI, 1.29–1.44), alcohol consumption (OR = 1.41, 95%CI, 1.11–1.78) and presenting visual impairment (VI, OR = 1.23; 95%CI, 1.02–1.47) were associated with falls. For recurrent falls, female gender (OR = 2.27; 95%CI, 1.75–2.94), diabetes (OR = 1.28; 95%CI, 1.03–1.61), CVD (OR = 2.00; 95%CI, 1.53–2.62), ≥3 systemic comorbidities (OR = 1.69; 95%CI, 1.19–2.39), lower EQ-5D score (OR = 1.47; 95%CI, 1.35–1.59), living in 1–2 room public flat (OR = 1.57; 95%CI, 1.05–2.33), monthly income <2000 Singapore Dollar (OR = 1.62; 95%CI, 1.13–2.31), alcohol consumption (OR = 1.81, 95%CI, 1.23–2.66) and presenting VI (OR = 1.34; 95%CI, 1.01–1.79) were significant risk factors. These findings will be useful for the formulation of fall prevention programs.
