Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of cognitive impairment. AD is closely related to orthopedic diseases, such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, in terms of epidemiology and pathogenesis. Brain and bone tissues can regulate each other in different manners through bone-brain axis. This article reviews the research progress of the relationship between AD and orthopedic diseases, bone-brain axis mechanisms of AD, and AD therapy by targeting bone-brain axis, in order to deepen the understanding of bone-brain communication, promote early diagnosis and explore new therapy for AD patients.

Catgut embedding in acupoints combined with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis: study protocol for a randomized clinical trial. Front Neurol 2024; 15:1295429.

Abstract
Background To date, the clinical modulation for bone metabolism based on the neuro-bone mass regulation theory is still not popular. The stimulation of nerve systems to explore novel treatments for Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is urgent and significant. Preliminary research results suggested that changes brain function and structure may play a crucial role in bone metabolism with PMOP. Thus, we set up a clinical trial to investigate the effect of the combination of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and catgut embedding in acupoints (CEA) for PMOP and to elucidate the central mechanism of this neural stimulation in regulating bone metabolism. Method This trial is a prospective and randomized controlled trial. 96 PMOP participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio into a CEA group, an rTMS group, or a combined one. Participants will receive CEA, rTMS, or combined therapy for 3 months with 8 weeks of follow-up. The primary outcomes will be the changes in Bone Mineral Density scores, total efficiency of Chinese Medicine Symptoms before and after treatment. Secondary outcomes include the McGill Pain Questionnaire Short-Form, Osteoporosis Symptom Score, Mini-Mental State Examination, and Beck Depression Inventory-II. The leptin, leptin receptor, and norepinephrine levels of peripheral blood must be measured before and after treatment. Adverse events that occur during the trial will be recorded. Discussion CEA achieves brain-bone mass regulation through the bottom-up way of peripheral-central while rTMS achieves it through the top-down stimulation of central-peripheral. CEA combined with rTMS can stimulate the peripheral-central at the same time and promote peripheral bone mass formation. The combination of CEA and rTMS may play a coordinating, synergistic, and side-effect-reducing role, which is of great clinical significance in exploring better treatment options for PMOP.Clinical trial registration: https://www.chictr.org.cn/, identifier ChiCTR2300073863.

Abstract
As the population ages, the global burden of cardiometabolic disorders will increase. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of cardiometabolic disorders (diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia) in elderly and to evaluate the effects of various variables including age, sex, education, marital status, smoking, income, physical activity, dementia and depressed mood on untreated cardiometabolic disorders. This was a cross sectional study conducted in Bushehr Elderly Health Program. A total 2381 participants were included. Medical data were collected by trained interviewers. The mean age of the study participants was 69.34 years. Proportions of diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia were 43.25%, 75.71%, 64.74% and 35.31% respectively. Untreated diabetes prevalence was higher for males (OR = 1.60, 95%CI = 1.20-2.15), older adults (OR = 1.02, 95%CI = 1.00-1.05), and pre-frail status (OR = 0.69, 95%CI = 0.52-0.92). Males (OR = 2.16, 95%CI = 1.64-2.84) and current smokers (OR = 1.42, 95%CI = 1.05-1.93), in contrast to married participants (OR = 0.25, 95%CI = 0.08-0.78), people with higher education levels (OR = 0.51, 95%CI = 0.29-0.89) and dementia (OR = 0.78, 95%CI = 0.61-1.00) were more likely to have untreated HTN. Untreated dyslipidemia is more common in smokers (OR = 1.78, 95%CI = 1.19-2.66) and males (OR = 1.66, 95%CI = 1.21-2.27), while untreated hypercholesteremia is more common in males (OR = 3.20, 95%CI = 1.53-6.69) and is reported lower in people with dementia (OR = 0.53, 95%CI = 0.28-1.01).

Xie C, Wang C, Luo H. Increased risk of osteoporosis in patients with cognitive impairment: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Geriatr 2023; 23:797. [PMID: 38049723 PMCID: PMC10694915 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-023-04548-z] [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: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Both osteoporosis and cognitive impairment affect overall health in elderly individuals. This study aimed to investigate the association between cognitive impairment and the risk of osteoporosis. METHODS PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched for studies on the association between osteoporosis and cognitive impairment from their inception until August 2023. The random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled risk ratio (RR) of osteoporosis in patients with cognitive impairment. Subgroup analysis was used to detect the sources of heterogeneity. Sensitivity analysis was used to test the robustness of the pooled results. Funnel plots, Egger's test, and Begg's test were used to test publication bias. RESULTS Ten studies involving 9,872 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that patients with cognitive impairment had an increased risk of osteoporosis (RR = 1.56, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.30-1.87, p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) are at 1.7-fold risk of osteoporosis compared with the control group (RR = 1.70, 95% CI: 1.23-2.37, p = 0.001), and sex, cognitive classification, study region, study design, and study quality might be the sources of heterogeneity. Sensitivity analysis showed robustness of the pooled results. No significant publication bias was found (Begg's test, p = 0.474; Egger's test, p = 0.065). CONCLUSION Current evidence suggests that patients with cognitive impairment are at increased risk of osteoporosis, especially patients with AD.

BMC Geriatr 2023; 23:730. [PMID: 37950206 PMCID: PMC10638752 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-023-04431-x] [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: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis and sarcopenia, respectively, have detrimental impact on health, and combination of both conditions, termed osteosarcopenia, is becoming an increasingly important disorder in older adults as populations age. This study aimed to explore the relationship between osteoporosis and possible sarcopenia and their joint effect on physical performance, nutritional status, and cognition in community-dwelling older adults. METHODS This study was conducted at a medical center in Taiwan, which included the adjacent community care station. The participants were recruited through regular activities at the community care station between January 01, 2015 and February 28, 2022. During the study period, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and comprehensive geriatric assessment consisting of comorbidity burden, functional status, cognition, mood, and nutritional status were performed during the study period. Possible sarcopenia was identified utilizing the criteria set by the Asian Working Group on Sarcopenia in 2019 using the criteria of low muscle strength alone, and osteoporosis was defined by the World Health Organization criteria. Accordingly, the study subjects were divided into four groups: normal, only osteoporosis, only possible sarcopenia, and possible osteosarcopenia. RESULTS There were 337 participants (68.6% female) with a median age of 78.0 years (interquartile range: 71.0-85.0 y/o). According to the clinical definition of osteosarcopenia, 78 participants were normal, 69 participants showed possible sarcopenia, 61 participants had osteoporosis, and 129 had osteoporosis with possible sarcopenia. Among the four groups, the prevalence rates of chronic illness, functional capacity, physical performance, cognitive impairment, and malnutrition revealed statistically significant differences. Using logistic regression analysis after adjusting for the other covariates, osteoporosis with possible sarcopenia was associated with an increased odds ratio of cognitive impairment. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that compared to osteoporosis or possible sarcopenia alone, osteoporosis with possible sarcopenia was more likely to be associated with cognitive impairment. Early identification and targeted interventions for cognitive impairment in older adults with osteosarcopenia may be valuable in maintaining cognitive well-being and overall quality of life.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cognitive impairment is associated with obesity, sarcopenia, and osteoporosis. However, no critical appraisal of the literature on the relationship between musculoskeletal deficits and cognitive impairment, focusing on the epidemiological evidence and biological mechanisms, has been published to date. Herein, we critically evaluate the literature published over the past 3 years, emphasizing interesting and important new findings, and provide an outline of future directions that will improve our understanding of the connections between the brain and the musculoskeletal system. RECENT FINDINGS Recent literature suggests that musculoskeletal deficits and cognitive impairment share pathophysiological pathways and risk factors. Cytokines and hormones affect both the brain and the musculoskeletal system; yet, lack of unified definitions and standards makes it difficult to compare studies. Interventions designed to improve musculoskeletal health are plausible means of preventing or slowing cognitive impairment. We highlight several musculoskeletal health interventions that show potential in this regard.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to examine whether osteoporosis (OP) is associated with Alzheimer’s disease-related cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers and brain structures among older people. Methods From the Alzheimer’s disease Neuroimaging Initiative database, we grouped participants according to the OP status (OP+/OP−) and compared the Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-related CSF biomarker levels and the regional brain structural volumes between the two groups using multivariable models. These models were adjusted for covariates including age, education, gender, diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, and apolipoprotein E4 carrier status. Results In the cross-sectional analyses at baseline, OP was related to higher CSF t-tau (total tau) and p-tau181 (tau phosphorylated at threonine-181) but not to CSF amyloid-beta (1–42) or the volumes of entorhinal cortex and hippocampus. In the longitudinal analyses, OP was not associated with the change in the three CSF biomarkers over time but was linked to a faster decline in the size of the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus. Conclusion OP was associated with elevated levels of CSF t-tau and p-tau181 at baseline, and accelerated entorhinal cortex and hippocampal atrophies over time among older people.

Abstract
Background Depression is one of the prevalent mental disorders that is common in older ages. Evidence suggests that dietary intake status may potentially be associated with depression. However, this association has not been well studied in older adults, and the nature of the association remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between diet quality and depression in free-living older adults living in Tehran city. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 583 older adults (279 men and 304 women) aged 60 to 80 years living in Tehran city, selected by the systematic cluster sampling method. Individuals' dietary intake was determined by two non-consecutive 24-h dietary recalls, and diet quality was assessed calculating score of Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015). The validated short form of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-11) was used to assess depression status. A logistic regression model was used to assess the chance of depression across tertiles of HEI-2015 score. Results The point prevalence of depression was 22.5%, which was significantly higher in women (91 (69.5%) women vs. 40 (30.5%) men). A higher percentage of seniors at the higher tertile of HEI score were women, belonged to Fars ethnicity and had a higher score of activity of daily living (ADL). After adjustment for all potential confounders, the trend of depression chance was significantly decreased in those with higher HEI-2015 scores (p-for trend < 0.05). Conclusion Higher quality of diet was associated with a lower possibility of depression in the studied participants. Further studies are required to investigate the possible causal relationship.

Abstract
Objective Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are at high risk for osteoporotic fractures. We developed an index called the third metacarpal cortical thickness ratio (CTR), which reflects bone mineral density (BMD) in RA patients. A longitudinal study was conducted to verify the usefulness of CTR during the follow-up period. Methods Patients with RA who underwent dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and hand X-ray simultaneously were monitored for disease activity and activities of daily living at 3-month intervals, and BMD and CTR were measured at 1-year intervals. Mean CTR during follow-up was tested for correlation with mean BMD at both the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) during follow-up. Correlations were examined, including other variants potentially correlated with BMD. The risk ratio of accidental major osteoporotic fractures (MOF) in the variance including CTR and BMD was evaluated. Results A total of 300 patients, 40 men and 260 women, were enrolled. Mean follow-up length was 49.6 months. CTR was significantly associated with BMD in FN using a multivariate model of linear regression analysis (p < 0.0001), whereas CTR was significantly associated with BMD in LS using only a univariate model (p < 0.01). The only variant with a significantly higher risk ratio for incident MOF was the presence of prevalent MOF. CTR and BMD did not show a significantly higher risk ratio using Cox regression analysis. Conclusion CTR correlated significantly with BMD even during follow-up, especially in FN. However, CTR and BMD were not risk factors for major MOF. Correlation between cortical thickness ratio of the third metacarpal bone and incident osteoporotic fracture was evaluated. Correlations were confirmed using longitudinal as well as cross-sectional studies. The CTR did not show a significant higher risk ratio for the development of osteoporotic fractures, though BMD also did not Possibility in which the RA patient causes the incidental fracture by the reason except for the bone density is indicated.

Roles of Altered Macrophages and Cytokines: Implications for Pathological Mechanisms of Postmenopausal Osteoporosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Alzheimer's Disease.

[PMID: 35757427 PMCID: PMC9226340 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.876269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is characterized by the uncoupling of bone resorption and bone formation induced by estrogen deficiency, which is a complex outcome related to estrogen and the immune system. The interaction between bone and immune cells is regarded as the context of PMOP. Macrophages act differently on bone cells, depending on their polarization profile and secreted paracrine factors, which may have implications for the development of PMOP. PMOP, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and Alzheimer's disease (AD) might have pathophysiological links, and the similarity of their pathological mechanisms is partially visible in altered macrophages and cytokines in the immune system. This review focuses on exploring the pathological mechanisms of PMOP, RA, and AD through the roles of altered macrophages and cytokines secretion. First, the multiple effects on cytokines secretion by bone-bone marrow (BM) macrophages in the pathological mechanism of PMOP are reviewed. Then, based on the thought of "different tissue-same cell type-common pathological molecules-disease pathological links-drug targets" and the methodologies of "molecular network" in bioinformatics, highlight that multiple cytokines overlap in the pathological molecules associated with PMOP vs. RA and PMOP vs. AD, and propose that these overlaps may lead to a pathological synergy in PMOP, RA, and AD. It provides a novel strategy for understanding the pathogenesis of PMOP and potential drug targets for the treatment of PMOP.

Arch Gerontol Geriatr 2021; 98:104530. [PMID: 34562795 DOI: 10.1016/j.archger.2021.104530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2021] [Revised: 09/12/2021] [Accepted: 09/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Osteosarcopenia and cognitive frailty are both risk factors for falls and fractures. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between osteosarcopenia and cognitive frailty. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional secondary data analysis of the Frailty Registry Study with outpatients aged ≥65 years who visited a frailty clinic at a geriatric hospital. Osteoporosis was defined as a bone mineral density < 70% of the young adult mean. Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 criteria. Cognitive frailty was defined as the coexistence of physical frailty and mild cognitive impairment. Physical frailty was evaluated according to Japanese Cardiovascular Health Study criteria, whereas mild cognitive impairment was defined as a Mini-Mental State Examination score ≥ 24 points and a score ≤ 25 points on the Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. We performed multivariable logistic regression analysis to investigate the association between osteosarcopenia and cognitive frailty. RESULTS The data of 432 patients were analysed. The prevalence of osteosarcopenia and cognitive frailty was 10.2% and 20.8%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis revealed that osteosarcopenia was independently associated with cognitive frailty with a higher odds ratio than osteoporosis or sarcopenia alone. Lost points in visuospatial abilities/executive functions and orientation were significantly associated with osteosarcopenia. CONCLUSIONS Combination of osteoporosis and sarcopenia is more likely to be associated with physical and cognitive decline than osteoporosis and sarcopenia alone. The mechanism by which osteosarcopenia is associated with decreased visuospatial abilities/executive functions and orientation needs to be addressed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity and osteoporosis are health problems with high impact on the morbidity and mortality rate. While the association between BMI and bone density is known, the combined effects of obesity and metabolic components on bone health have not yet been revealed. The objectives of this study were to determine the association between bone health and different phenotypes of obesity in an elderly population. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted on the data collected in the Bushehr Elderly Health Program (BEHP). The participants were classified in four groups based on the metabolic phenotypes of obesity (metabolic healthy obese (MHO), metabolic non-healthy non-obese (MNHNO), metabolic non-healthy obese (MNHO), and metabolic healthy non-obese (MHNO)). The association between osteoporosis and TBS and the metabolic phenotypes of obesity were assessed using multiple variable logistic regression models. RESULTS Totally, 2378 people (1227 women) were considered for analyses. The prevalence of MHNO, MHO, MNHNO, and MNHO were 902 (39.9%), 138 (6.1%), 758 (33.5%), and 464 (20.5%), respectively. In the multivariate logistic regression models, those with MHO (OR 0.22; 95% CI 0.12-0.36), MNHNO (OR 0.52; 95% CI 0.4-0.66), and MNHO phenotypes (OR 0.22; 95% CI 0.16-0.3) had a significantly lower risk of osteoporosis. Likewise, those having MHO (OR 2.38; 95% CI 1.51-3.76), MNHNO (OR 1.49; 95% CI 1.11-2), and MNHO (OR 2.50; 95% CI 1.82-3.42) phenotypes were found to had higher risk of low bone quality as confirmed by TBS. CONCLUSIONS The obese subjects have lower bone quality, regardless of their obesity phenotype.
