Abstract
Understanding the link between heart disease and frailty in older adults is crucial. Although medical progress has extended life, it has not fully addressed the decline in function and quality of life in frail older people. Frailty is a state of vulnerability to health stressors that needs comprehensive solutions. Its assessment within health care, especially in cardiology, is important owing to its association with worse clinical outcomes. Recent evidence and guidelines suggest that the prescription of a comprehensive exercise regimen, tailored to progressively include strength, balance, mobility, and endurance training improves adherence, functionality, and health-related quality of life, in both acute and chronic cardiovascular diseases. In addition, exercise is a vital tool that improves function, targets frailty, and holistically affects the body's systems. Still, many frail people do not exercise enough, and when they do, they usually do not follow an appropriate plan tailored for better functional outcomes. Overcoming barriers and limitations in exercise enrollment and adherence through strategies such as automated cardiac rehabilitation referral, patient education, and eHealth tools can notably improve clinical outcomes.

J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2024; 109:e1194-e1203. [PMID: 37850407 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgad601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2023] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/19/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Although physical activity (PA) is recognized to reduce fracture risk, whether its benefits differ according to glycemic status remains unknown. OBJECTIVE We investigated the effect of PA on incident hip fracture (HF) according to glycemic status. METHODS We studied 3 723 097 patients older than 50 without type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) or past fractures. HF risks were calculated using Cox proportional hazard regression. Participants were categorized by glycemic status into 5 groups: normal glucose tolerance, impaired fasting glucose, new-onset type 2 DM, type 2 DM less than 5 years, and type 2 DM of 5 years or greater. PA was evaluated using the Korean adaptation of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form. RESULTS The highest HF risk were associated with the lowest PA level (<500 metabolic equivalent task [MET]-min/wk). While similar risks emerged across MET 500 to 1000, 1000 to 1500, and greater than 1500 categories, the relationship showed variations in different glycemic status groups. Exceptions were particularly noted in women with normoglycemia. However, a consistent inverse pattern, with few exceptions, was observed both in men and women with type 2 DM of 5 years or greater. Furthermore, the benefit of PA in the prevention of HFs was most evident in participants with type 2 DM of 5 years or greater. Compared to the reference group (lowest physical activity level <500 MET-min/wk within type 2 DM ≥5 years), the adjusted hazard ratios were 0.74 (0.62-0.88) in men and 0.74 (0.62-0.89) in women, suggesting a significant reduction in risk. CONCLUSION Higher PA levels are associated with a lower risk of HF. This protective effect of PA on fracture risk is greatest in patients with DM, particularly in those with DM of 5 years or greater.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to identify the types of injury experiences affecting adult females and the associations between injury experiences and health-related quality of life. Methods This study used a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which employed a stratified multistage probability sampling design to obtain nationally representative data. Health-related quality of life was measured with the EuroQol Five-Dimension and consisted of mobility, self-care, usual activity, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Results Among women aged 19-64, the prevalence of injury experience was 5.9%. Women's injury experience varied by age, subjective health perception, menstruation details, osteoporosis status, and osteoarthritis status. The following injury experience-related factors were significantly associated with health-related quality of life: self-care (odds ratio [OR] = 0.32, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.17-0.60), usual activity (OR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.27-0.70), and pain/discomfort (OR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.44-0.72). Conclusion Health-related quality of life among adult women was significantly associated with injury experience. The results of this study highlight risk factors for injury that are associated with aging, such as menopause, osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis. Accurate assessments of pain and discomfort, as well as daily activities, are essential for designing effective interventions for injured women. Tailored training and education can promote self-management and improve outcomes for recovery.

Wien Med Wochenschr 2023; 173:299-318.

Abstract
DEFINITION AND EPIDEMIOLOGY Chronic kidney disease (CKD): abnormalities of kidney structure or function, present for over 3 months. Staging of CKD is based on GFR and albuminuria (not graded). Osteoporosis: compromised bone strength (low bone mass, disturbance of microarchitecture) predisposing to fracture. By definition, osteoporosis is diagnosed if the bone mineral density T‑score is ≤ -2.5. Furthermore, osteoporosis is diagnosed if a low-trauma (inadequate trauma) fracture occurs, irrespective of the measured T‑score (not graded). The prevalence of osteoporosis, osteoporotic fractures and CKD is increasing worldwide (not graded). PATHOPHYSIOLOGY, DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE-MINERAL AND BONE DISORDER (CKD-MBD): Definition of CKD-MBD: a systemic disorder of mineral and bone metabolism due to CKD manifested by either one or a combination of the following: abnormalities of calcium, phosphorus, PTH, or vitamin D metabolism; renal osteodystrophy; vascular calcification (not graded). Increased, normal or decreased bone turnover can be found in renal osteodystrophy (not graded). Depending on CKD stage, routine monitoring of calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, PTH and 25-OH-vitamin D is recommended (2C). Recommendations for treatment of CKD-MBD: Avoid hypercalcemia (1C). In cases of hyperphosphatemia, lower phosphorus towards normal range (2C). Keep PTH within or slightly above normal range (2D). Vitamin D deficiency should be avoided and treated when diagnosed (1C). DIAGNOSIS AND RISK STRATIFICATION OF OSTEOPOROSIS IN CKD Densitometry (using dual X‑ray absorptiometry, DXA): low T‑score correlates with increased fracture risk across all stages of CKD (not graded). A decrease of the T‑score by 1 unit approximately doubles the risk for osteoporotic fracture (not graded). A T-score ≥ -2.5 does not exclude osteoporosis (not graded). Bone mineral density of the lumbar spine measured by DXA can be increased and therefore should not be used for the diagnosis or monitoring of osteoporosis in the presence of aortic calcification, osteophytes or vertebral fracture (not graded). FRAX can be used to aid fracture risk estimation in all stages of CKD (1C). Bone turnover markers can be measured in individual cases to monitor treatment (2D). Bone biopsy may be considered in individual cases, especially in patients with CKD G5 (eGFR < 15 ml/min/1.73 m2) or CKD 5D (dialysis). SPECIFIC TREATMENT OF OSTEOPOROSIS IN PATIENTS WITH CKD Hypocalcemia should be treated and serum calcium normalized before initiating osteoporosis therapy (1C). CKD G1-G2 (eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2): treat osteoporosis as recommended for the general population (1A). CKD G3-G5D (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 to dialysis): treat CKD-MBD first before initiating osteoporosis treatment (2C). CKD G3 (eGFR 30-59 ml/min/1.73 m2) with PTH within normal limits and osteoporotic fracture and/or high fracture risk according to FRAX: treat osteoporosis as recommended for the general population (2B). CKD G4-5 (eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2) with osteoporotic fracture (secondary prevention): Individualized treatment of osteoporosis is recommended (2C). CKD G4-5 (eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2) and high fracture risk (e.g. FRAX score > 20% for a major osteoporotic fracture or > 5% for hip fracture) but without prevalent osteoporotic fracture (primary prevention): treatment of osteoporosis may be considered and initiated individually (2D). CKD G4-5D (eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 to dialysis): Calcium should be measured 1-2 weeks after initiation of antiresorptive therapy (1C). PHYSICAL MEDICINE AND REHABILITATION Resistance training prioritizing major muscle groups thrice weekly (1B). Aerobic exercise training for 40 min four times per week (1B). Coordination and balance exercises thrice weekly (1B). Flexibility exercise 3-7 times per week (1B).

Abstract
Fragility fractures are increasingly recognized as a complication of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, with fracture risk that increases with disease duration and poor glycemic control. The identification and management of fracture risk in these patients remains challenging. This manuscript explores the clinical characteristics of bone fragility in adults with diabetes and highlights recent studies that have evaluated areal bone mineral density (BMD), bone microstructure and material properties, biochemical markers, and fracture prediction algorithms (FRAX) in these patients. It further reviews the impact of diabetes drugs on bone tissue as well as the efficacy of osteoporosis treatments in this population. An algorithm for the identification and management of diabetic patients at increased fracture risk is proposed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of vertebral fragility fractures (VFF) is rising, placing a major burden on individuals and health systems. No comprehensive picture of the research regarding physiotherapy exists for this patient cohort. OBJECTIVES This scoping review aims to summarise the research regarding Physiotherapy post VFF, the type of physiotherapy interventions employed and outcome measures utilised. DESIGN Scoping review, adhering to the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. Databases searched were PubMed, PEDro, CINAHL, Cochrane, Embase from 2005 to November 2021. Grey literature searching was conducted using ProQuest and Open Grey. A narrative summary of data was compiled to describe the current evidence regarding physiotherapy post VFF. STUDY SELECTION Articles were included if they related to Physiotherapy interventions delivered to patients with VFF in any setting. DATA SYNTHESIS A narrative synthesis was conducted. RESULTS Thirteen studies were included with five randomised control trials, three pilot RCTs, two qualitative studies, one cross-sectional survey of clinicians, one cohort study and one prospective comparative study. Interventions most commonly reported were exercise, education or manual therapy. A large diversity of outcome measures was utilised most commonly in the spinal deformity, physical performance and balance, pain and quality of life domains. CONCLUSION Findings of this scoping review indicate the limited evidence to guide physiotherapists in the management of patients with VFF. The most commonly explored physiotherapy interventions were exercise, manual therapy and education. A diversity of outcome measures is utilised. Research is urgently needed, including high quality clinical trials with representative populations and studies exploring physiotherapy practice and the experience of patients with VFF.
