Abstract
Children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) experience an increased risk of fracture, which may be related to altered bone development. We aimed to assess differences in bone, muscle and physical activity (PA), and explore if better muscle and PA measures would mitigate bone differences between children and adolescents with T1D and typically developing peers (TDP). We matched 56 children and adolescents with T1D (mean age 11.9 yrs) and 56 TDP (11.5 yrs) by sex and maturity from 171 participants with T1D and 66 TDP (6-17 yrs). We assessed the distal radius and tibia with high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT), and the radius and tibia shaft bone and muscle with pQCT. We also measured muscle function from force-related measures in neuromuscular performance tests (push-up, grip test, countermovement and long jump). We compared PA based on questionnaire scores and accelerometers between groups. Bone, muscle, and neuromuscular performance measures were compared using MANOVA. We used mediation to explore the role of PA and muscle in bone differences. Children and adolescents with T1D had 6-10 % lower trabecular density, bone volume fraction, thickness and number at both distal radius and tibia, and 11 % higher trabecular separation at the distal radius than TDP. They also had 3-16 % higher cortical and tissue mineral density, and cortical thickness at the distal radius, 5-7 % higher cortical density and 1-3 % higher muscle density at both shaft sites compared to TDP. PA mediated the between-group difference in trabecular number (indirect effect -0.04) at the distal radius. Children and adolescents with T1D had lower trabecular bone density and deficits in trabecular micro-architecture, but higher cortical bone density and thickness at the radius and tibia compared to TDP. They engaged in less PA but had comparable muscle measures to those of TDP. PA participation may assist in mitigating deficit in trabecular number observed in children and adolescents with T1D.

Abstract
Diabetes, a disease marked by consistent high blood glucose levels, is associated with various complications such as neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, and cardiovascular disease. Notably, skeletal fragility has emerged as a significant complication in both type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D) diabetic patients. This review examines noninvasive imaging studies that evaluate skeletal outcomes in adults with T1D and T2D, emphasizing distinct skeletal phenotypes linked with each condition and pinpointing gaps in understanding bone health in diabetes. Although traditional DXA-BMD does not fully capture the increased fracture risk in diabetes, recent techniques such as quantitative computed tomography, peripheral quantitative computed tomography, high-resolution quantitative computed tomography, and MRI provide insights into 3D bone density, microstructure, and strength. Notably, existing studies present heterogeneous results possibly due to variations in design, outcome measures, and potential misclassification between T1D and T2D. Thus, the true nature of diabetic skeletal fragility is yet to be fully understood. As T1D and T2D are diverse conditions with heterogeneous subtypes, future research should delve deeper into skeletal fragility by diabetic phenotypes and focus on longitudinal studies in larger, diverse cohorts to elucidate the complex influence of T1D and T2D on bone health and fracture outcomes.

Abstract
The long-term bone health of young adults born extremely preterm (EP; <28 weeks' gestation) or extremely low birth weight (ELBW; <1000 g birth weight) in the post-surfactant era (since the early 1990s) is unclear. This study investigated their bone structure and estimated bone strength using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT)-based finite element modeling (pQCT-FEM). Results using this technique have been associated with bone fragility in several clinical settings. Participants comprised 161 EP/ELBW survivors (46.0% male) and 122 contemporaneous term-born (44.3% male), normal birth weight controls born in Victoria, Australia, during 1991-1992. At age 25 years, participants underwent pQCT at 4% and 66% of tibia and radius length, which was analyzed using pQCT-FEM. Groups were compared using linear regression and adjusted for height and weight. An interaction term between group and sex was added to assess group differences between sexes. Parameters measured included compressive stiffness (kcomp ), torsional stiffness (ktorsion ), and bending stiffness (kbend ). EP/ELBW survivors were shorter than the controls, but their weights were similar. Several unadjusted tibial pQCT-FEM parameters were lower in the EP/ELBW group. Height- and weight-adjusted ktorsion at 66% tibia remained lower in EP/ELBW (mean difference [95% confidence interval] -180 [-352, -8] Nm/deg). The evidence for group differences in ktorsion and kbend at 66% tibia was stronger among males than females (pinteractions <0.05). There was little evidence for group differences in adjusted radial models. Lower height- and weight-adjusted pQCT-FEM measures in EP/ELBW compared with controls suggest a clinically relevant increase in predicted long-term fracture risk in EP/ELBW survivors, particularly males. Future pQCT-FEM studies should utilize the tibial pQCT images because of the greater variability in the radius possibly related to lower measurement precision. © 2023 The Authors.

Lin W, He C, Xie F, Chen T, Zheng G, Yin H, Chen H, Wang Z. Quantitative CT screening improved lumbar BMD evaluation in older patients compared to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. BMC Geriatr 2023; 23:231. [PMID: 37069511 PMCID: PMC10108496 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-023-03963-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 04/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Robust evidence on whether diagnostic discordance exists between lumbar osteoporosis detected by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) vs. dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is still lacking. In this study involving a relatively large prospective cohort of older men (aged > 60 years) and postmenopausal women, we assessed lumbar QCT-derived volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and DXA-derived area BMD and evaluated their predictive performance for prevalent vertebral fracture (VF). METHODS A total of 501 patients who underwent spinal surgery from September 2020 to September 2022 were enrolled. The criteria recommended by the American College of Radiology and the World Health Organization were used for lumbar osteoporosis diagnosis. The osteoporosis detection rates between QCT and DXA were compared. QCT-vBMD was plotted against the DXA T score, and the line of best fit was calculated based on linear regression. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the associations between risk factors and VF. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed, and the corresponding area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. RESULTS QCT screening showed that 60.7% of patients had osteoporosis, whereas DXA screening showed that 50.7% of patients had osteoporosis. Diagnoses were concordant for 325 (64.9%) patients. In all, 205 patients suffered a VF of at least one anatomic level. Of these, 84.4% (173/205) were diagnosed with osteoporosis by QCT, while only 73.2% (150/205) were diagnosed by DXA. Multivariate logistic regression showed that osteoporosis detected by QCT exhibited a stronger relationship with VF than that detected by DXA (unadjusted OR, 6.81 vs. 5.04; adjusted OR, 3.44 vs. 2.66). For discrimination between patients with and without VF, QCT-vBMD (AUC = 0.802) showed better performance than DXA T score (AUC = 0.76). CONCLUSION In older patients undergoing spinal surgery, QCT-vBMD is more helpful than DXA in terms of osteoporosis detection rate and prediction of patients with prevalent VFs.

Discordance in lumbar bone mineral density measurements by quantitative computed tomography and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in postmenopausal women: a prospective comparative study. Spine J 2023; 23:295-304. [PMID: 36343911 DOI: 10.1016/j.spinee.2022.10.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2022] [Revised: 10/18/2022] [Accepted: 10/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Level-specific lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) evaluation of a single vertebral body can provide useful surgical planning and osteoporosis management information. Previous comparative studies have primarily focused on detecting spinal osteoporosis but not at specific levels. PURPOSE To compare the detection rate of lumbar osteoporosis between quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA); to explore and analyze the distribution models of QCT-derived BMD and DXA T-score at the specific levels; and to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of level-specific BMD thresholds for the prediction of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) in postmenopausal women. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING A comparative analysis of prospectively collected data comparing QCT-derived BMD with DXA T-score. PATIENT SAMPLE A total of 296 postmenopausal women who were referred to the spine service of a single academic institution were enrolled. OUTCOME MEASURES QCT-derived BMD and DXA T-score at specific levels, with or without osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture. METHODS Postmenopausal women who underwent QCT and DXA within a week of admission from May 2019 to June 2022 were enrolled. The diagnostic criteria for osteoporosis recommended by the World Health Organization and the American College of Radiology were used for lumbar osteoporotic diagnosis. To evaluate differences in lumbar BMD measurements at specific levels, a threshold of T score=-2.5 and QCT-derived BMD = 80 mg/cm3 were used to categorize level-specific lumbar BMD into low and high BMD. Disagreements in BMD categorization between DXA and QCT were classified as a minor or major discordance based on the definition by Woodson. Data between QCT and DXA were visualized in a stacked bar plot and analyzed. Correlations between DXA and QCT at the specific levels were evaluated using Pearson's linear correlation and scatter plots. Curve fitting of BMD distribution, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and area under the curve (AUC) for each single vertebral level was performed. RESULTS Of the 296 patients, QCT diagnosed 61.1% as osteoporosis, 30.4% as osteopenia and 8.4% as normal. For those screened with DXA, 54.1% of the patients had osteoporosis, 29.4% had osteopenia and 16.6% had normal BMD. Diagnoses were concordant for 194 (65.5%) patients. Of the other 102 discordant patients, 5 (1.7%) were major and 97 (32.8%) were minor. Significant correlations in level-specific BMD between DXA and QCT were observed (p<.001), with Pearson's correlation coefficients ranging from 0.662 to 0.728. The correlation strength was in the order of L1 > L2 > L3 > L4. The low BMD detection rate for QCT was significantly higher than that for DXA at the L3 and L4 levels (65% vs. 47.9% and 68.1% vs 43.7, respectively, p<.001). Patients with OVCF showed significantly lower QCT-derived BMD (47.2 mg/cm3 vs. 83.2 mg/cm3, p<.001) and T-score (-3.39 vs. -1.98, p<.001) than those without OVCF. Among these patients, 82.8% (101/122) were diagnosed with osteoporosis by QCT measurement, while only 74.6% (91/122) were diagnosed by DXA. For discrimination between patients with and without OVCF, QCT-derived BMD showed better diagnosed performance (AUC range from 0.769 to 0.801) than DXA T-score (AUC range from 0.696 to 0.753). CONCLUSION QCT provided a more accurate evaluation of lumbar osteoporosis than DXA. The QCT-derived BMD measurements at a specific lumbar level have a high diagnostic performance for OVCF.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review article presents the most recent research on bone fragility in individuals with diabetes from a medical imaging perspective. RECENT FINDINGS The widespread availability of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and trabecular bone score (TBS) software has led to recent assessments of bone fragility with this texture parameter in several studies of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), but in few of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). Although most studies show a trend of reduced TBS values in T2D independent of areal bone mineral density (aBMD) of the lumbar spine, some studies also show the limitations of TBS in both T2D and T1D. Given the limitations of DXA to assess bone strength and investigate the etiology of bone fragility in diabetes, more investigators are incorporating three-dimensional (3D) medical imaging techniques in their studies. Recent use of 3D medical imaging to assess bone fragility in the setting of diabetes has been mostly limited to a few cross-sectional studies predominantly incorporating high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). Although HR-pQCT studies indicate higher tibial cortical porosity in subjects with T2D, results are inconsistent in T1D due to differences in study designs, sample sizes, and subject characteristics, among other factors. With respect to central CT, recent studies support a previous finding in the literature indicating femoral neck geometrical impairments in subjects with T2D and provide encouraging results for the incorporation of finite element analysis (FEA) to assess bone strength in studies of T2D. In the recent literature, there are no studies assessing bone fragility in T1D with QCT, and only two studies used pQCT reporting tibial and radial impairments in young women and children with T1D, respectively. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has not been recently used in diabetic studies of bone fragility. SUMMARY As bone fragility in diabetes is not explained by DXA-derived aBMD and given the limitations of cross-sectional studies, it is imperative to use 3D imaging techniques for longitudinal assessments of the density, quality, and microenvironment of bone to improve our understanding of the effects of diabetes on bone and reduce the risk of fracture in this large and vulnerable population of subjects with diabetes.

Abstract
Fragility fracture is a worldwide problem and a main cause of disability and impaired quality of life. It is primarily caused by osteoporosis, characterized by impaired bone quantity and or quality. Proper diagnosis of osteoporosis is essential for prevention of fragility fractures. Osteoporosis can be primary in postmenopausal women because of estrogen deficiency. Secondary forms of osteoporosis are not uncommon in both men and women. Most systemic illnesses and organ dysfunction can lead to osteoporosis. The kidney plays a crucial role in maintaining physiological bone homeostasis by controlling minerals, electrolytes, acid-base, vitamin D and parathyroid function. Chronic kidney disease with its uremic milieu disturbs this balance, leading to renal osteodystrophy. Diabetes mellitus represents the most common secondary cause of osteoporosis. Thyroid and parathyroid disorders can dysregulate the osteoblast/osteoclast functions. Gastrointestinal disorders, malnutrition and malabsorption can result in mineral and vitamin D deficiencies and bone loss. Patients with chronic liver disease have a higher risk of fracture due to hepatic osteodystrophy. Proinflammatory cytokines in infectious, autoimmune, and hematological disorders can stimulate osteoclastogenesis, leading to osteoporosis. Moreover, drug-induced osteoporosis is not uncommon. In this review, we focus on causes, pathogenesis, and management of secondary osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis in premenopausal women and men younger than 50 years is challenging to diagnose and treat. There are many barriers to optimal management of osteoporosis in younger adults, further enhanced by a limited research focus on this cohort. Herein we describe dilemmas commonly encountered in diagnosis, investigation, and management of osteoporosis in younger adults. We also provide a suggested framework, based on the limited available evidence and supported by clinical experience, for the diagnosis, assessment, and management of osteoporosis in this cohort. © 2021 The Authors.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Skeletal fragility is now recognized as a significant complication of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Many patients with T1D develop the disease in childhood and prior to the attainment of peak bone mass and strength. This manuscript will review recent studies investigating the effects of T1D on skeletal development. RECENT FINDINGS Mild-to-moderate deficits in bone density, structure, and mineral accrual were reported early in the course of T1D in some but not all studies. Childhood-onset disease was associated with a more severe skeletal phenotype in some adult studies. Lower than expected bone mass for muscle size was been described. Hemoglobin A1c was negatively associated with bone density and structure in several studies, though the mechanism was not clear. SUMMARY The use of advanced imaging techniques has shown that the adverse effects of T1D on the developing skeleton extend beyond bone density to include abnormalities in bone size, shape, microarchitecture, and strength. Despite these gains, a uniform understanding of the pathophysiology underlying skeletal fragility in this disorder remains elusive. Longitudinal studies, especially in association with interventions to reduce hyperglycemia or improve muscle strength, are needed to inform bone healthcare in T1D.
