Individual Cofactors and Multisensory Contributions to the Postural Sway of Adults with Diabetes. Brain Sci 2022; 12:1489. [PMID: 36358415 PMCID: PMC9688443 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci12111489] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2022] [Revised: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 10/20/2023] Open
Abstract
To assess the interactions between individual cofactors and multisensory inputs on the postural sway of adults with type 2 diabetes and healthy subjects, 69 adults accepted to participate in the study (48 with/ 21 without diabetes). Assessments included neuro-otology (sinusoidal-rotation and unilateral-centrifugation), ophthalmology and physiatry evaluations, body mass index (BMI), physical activity, quadriceps strength, the ankle/brachial index and polypharmacy. Postural sway was recorded on hard/soft surface, either with eyes open/closed, or without/with 30° neck extension. The proportional differences from the baseline of each condition were analyzed using Multivariate and Multivariable analyses. Patients with polyneuropathy and no retinopathy showed visual dependence, while those with polyneuropathy and retinopathy showed adaptation. Across sensory challenges, the vestibulo-ocular gain at 1.28 Hz and the BMI were mainly related to changes in sway area, while the dynamic visual vertical was mainly related to changes in sway length. The ankle/brachial index was related to the effect of neck extension, with contributions from quadriceps strength/physical activity, polyneuropathy and polypharmacy. Across conditions, men showed less sway than women did. In conclusion, in adults with diabetes, sensory inputs and individual cofactors differently contribute to postural stability according to context. Rehabilitation programs for adults with diabetes may require an individualized approach.

Abstract
People with T1D and T2D have an increased risk of fractures than the general population, posing several significant pathophysiologic, diagnostic, and therapeutic challenges. The pathophysiology is still not fully elucidated, but it is considered a combination of increased skeletal fragility and falls. Diagnostics issues exist, as regular and even newer scan methods underestimate the true incidence of osteoporosis and thus the fracture risk. Therefore, co-managing diabetes and osteoporosis by using top-line strategies is essential to preserve bone health and minimize the risk of falls. The therapeutic focus should start with lifestyle implementation and physical exercise interventions to reduce diabetic complications, strengthen bones, and improve postural control strategies. In addition, osteoporosis should be treated according to current guidelines by including bisphosphonates and antidiabetic drugs that support bone health. Finally, potentially modifiable risk factors for falls should be managed.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a global public health problem, with fractures contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. Although postmenopausal osteoporosis is most common, up to 30% of postmenopausal women, > 50% of premenopausal women, and between 50% and 80% of men have secondary osteoporosis. Exclusion of secondary causes is important, as treatment of such patients often commences by treating the underlying condition. These are varied but often neglected, ranging from endocrine to chronic inflammatory and genetic conditions. General screening is recommended for all patients with osteoporosis, with advanced investigations reserved for premenopausal women and men aged < 50 years, for older patients in whom classical risk factors for osteoporosis are absent, and for all patients with the lowest bone mass (Z-score ≤ -2). The response of secondary osteoporosis to conventional anti-osteoporosis therapy may be inadequate if the underlying condition is unrecognized and untreated. Bone densitometry, using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, may underestimate fracture risk in some chronic diseases, including glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, and obesity, and may overestimate fracture risk in others (eg, Turner syndrome). FRAX and trabecular bone score may provide additional information regarding fracture risk in secondary osteoporosis, but their use is limited to adults aged ≥ 40 years and ≥ 50 years, respectively. In addition, FRAX requires adjustment in some chronic conditions, such as glucocorticoid use, type 2 diabetes, and HIV. In most conditions, evidence for antiresorptive or anabolic therapy is limited to increases in bone mass. Current osteoporosis management guidelines also neglect secondary osteoporosis and these existing evidence gaps are discussed.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION To examine the prevalence of falls and fractures, and the association with symptoms of diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) in patients with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS A detailed questionnaire on neuropathy symptoms and falls was sent to 6,726 patients enrolled in the Danish Center for Strategic Research in Type 2 Diabetes cohort (median age 65 years, diabetes duration 4.6 years). Complete data on fractures and patient characteristics were ascertained from population-based health registries. We defined possible DPN as a score ≥4 on the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instruments questionnaire. Using Poisson regression analyses, we estimated the adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) of falls and fractures, comparing patients with and without DPN. RESULTS In total, 5,359 patients (80%) answered the questions on the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instruments questionnaire and falls. Within the year preceding the questionnaire response, 17% (n = 933) reported at least one fall and 1.4% (n = 76) suffered from a fracture. The prevalence ratio of falls was substantially increased in patients with possible DPN compared with those without (aPR 2.33, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.06-2.63). The prevalence ratio increased with the number of falls from aPR 1.51 (95% CI 1.22-1.89) for one fall to aPR 5.89 (95% CI 3.84-9.05) for four or more falls within the preceding year. Possible DPN was associated with a slightly although non-significantly increased risk of fractures (aPR 1.32, 95% CI 0.75-2.33). CONCLUSIONS Patients with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes and symptoms of DPN had a highly increased risk of falling. These results emphasize the need for preventive interventions to reduce fall risk among patients with type 2 diabetes and possible DPN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-energy fracture risk is significantly increased in diabetes mellitus, the purpose of this article is to systematically evaluate the association between diabetes mellitus and risk for low-energy fracture. METHODS We conducted a systematic literature search of Medline, Embase, Science Citation Index, Wiley Online Library database through January 2019. Pooled relative risks (RR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated with random-effects model to assess the strength of association. RESULTS Thirty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria, which included 3,123,382 participants. The pooled RR of any fracture in people with diabetes mellitus was 1.5 (95% CI 1.3-1.8; P < 0.05). The significant association not found in subgroup analysis of prospective design, follow-up period ≥ 10 year (all P > 0.05). The pooled RR of hip fracture in people with diabetes mellitus was 2.0 (95% CI 1.8-2.3; P < 0.05). In addition, subgroup analysis shown higher risk of hip fracture in type 1 diabetes (RR: 5.3). The pooled RR of vertebral fracture with diabetes mellitus was 1.4 (95% CI 0.9-2.2; P = 0.196). Subgroup analysis by type of diabetes showed that the RR of vertebral fracture for patients with unknown-type diabetes was 2.4 (95% CI 1.4-4.0; P < 0.05). Diabetes mellitus was associated with fractures at other sites, and effect estimates was statically significant. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes mellitus is an independent risk factor for low-energy fracture, and this relationship is more pronounced in hip fracture.

Abstract
Abstract Introduction: Previous studies suggested that body weight is a strong predictor for postural balance. High body mass index (BMI) presented an association with increased postural sway. However, it seems controversial since studies reported no difference between obese and control group regarding the position of the center of pressure in static postural balance (PB). Also, there is a lack of investigations about the impact of obesity on PB, free of the confound effect of cardiometabolic risk. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of obesity in static PB and occurrence of falls in asymptomatic adults and older adults over 40 years old. Method: The PB of 624 subjects divided into quartiles for BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height and fat body mass as percentage (%FBM) was assessed with and without vision using a force platform. An MANOVA was used to determine if there were differences between quartiles and a logistic regression analysis adjusted for confounders variables were applied to determine the obesity role in the occurrence of falls. Results: We found weak to moderate bivariate correlations between obesity and static PB, which became non-significant after adjustment. We found significant differences between first and fourth quartiles, especially using %FBM. Obesity was not related to the occurrence of falls since the odds ratio values became non-significant for all the indices of obesity after adjustment. Conclusion: Obesity presents little influence on maintaining static PB and seems not to determine the occurrence of falls among subjects over 40 years old.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Based on a systematic literature search, we performed a comprehensive review of risk factors for falls and fractures in patients with diabetes. RECENT FINDINGS Patients with diabetes have an increased risk of fractures partly explained by increased bone fragility. Several risk factors as altered body composition including sarcopenia and obesity, impaired postural control, gait deficits, neuropathy, cardiovascular disease, and other co-morbidities are considered to increase the risk of falling. Diabetes and bone fragility is well studied, but new thresholds for fracture assessment should be considered. In general, the risk factors for falls in patients with diabetes are well documented in several studies. However, the fall mechanisms among diabetic patients have only been assessed in few studies. Thus, a gab of knowledge exits and may influence the current understanding and treatment, in order to reduce the risk of falling and thereby prevent fractures.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a rapidly growing public health problem. It is associated with an increased risk of fracture, particularly of the hip, despite normal or high bone mineral density. Longer duration of disease and poor glycaemic control are both associated with higher fracture risk. The factors underlying increased fracture risk have not been clearly established, but increased falls risk, obesity, sarcopenia and co-morbidities are likely to contribute. The basis for reduced bone strength despite higher bone mineral density remains to be fully elucidated. Bone turnover is reduced in individuals with T2DM, with evidence of impaired bone formation. Most studies indicate normal or superior trabecular bone structure although reduced lumbar spine trabecular bone score (TBS) has been reported. Deficits in cortical bone structure have been demonstrated in some, but not all, studies whilst reduced bone material strength index (BMSi), as assessed by microindentation, has been a consistent finding. Accumulation of advanced glycation end products in bone may also contribute to reduced bone strength. The use of FRAX in individuals with T2DM underestimates fracture probability. Clinical management should focus on falls prevention strategies, avoidance of known risk factors, maintenance of good glycaemic control and bone protective intervention in individuals at high risk of fracture. Dietary and surgical strategies to reduce weight have beneficial effects on diabetes but may have adverse effects on skeletal health. Future research priorities include better definition of the mechanisms underlying increased fracture risk in T2DM and optimal strategies for identifying and treating those at high risk.

Abstract
Although hypogonadism is a risk factor for bone loss and fractures, the different etiopathophysiology and hormonal profile of classical and obesity-induced hypogonadism may lead to differences in musculoskeletal profile. This is a cross-sectional study of hypogonadal men between 40 and 74 years old. Our outcomes include: areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; volumetric BMD (vBMD) and soft tissue composition of the tibia by peripheral quantitative computed tomography. Fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) scores were evaluated. Testosterone, estradiol, luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, sex hormone-binding globulin, C-telopeptide, osteocalcin, and sclerostin were measured. We divided the population into subgroups of BMI: group 1: BMI < 30; group 2: BMI ≥30 to <35 and group 3: BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2. One-hundred five men were enrolled. Spine and hip aBMD, and total and trabecular vBMD at the 4% tibia significantly increased with increasing BMI. Cortical thickness (330.7 ± 53.2, 343.3 ± 35.4, and 358.7 ± 38.2 mm, p = 0.04; groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively) and cortical area (5.3 ± 0.7, 5.5 ± 0.6, and 5.7 ± 0.6 mm, p = 0.01; groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively) at 38% tibia increased with increasing BMI. While absolute lean mass increased with increasing BMI, % lean mass and muscle density (70.2 ± 5.0, 71.3 ± 6.4, and 67.1 ± 5.1 mg/cm3; groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively) were lowest in group 3. Although severely obese hypogondal men have better BMD and bone quality, they have reduced muscle density, the significance of which remains to be determined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND intensive or very loose glycemic control may contribute to the risk of falls in diabetic patients. However, studies on diabetes mellitus and the risk of falls have yielded conflicting results. Our objective was to investigate the effect of diabetes mellitus on the risk of falls in older adults by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS the PubMed and Embase databases were searched for relevant studies published until November 2015. Only prospective cohort studies reporting at least age-adjusted risk estimate of falls compared diabetic to non-diabetic individuals were selected. Diabetes mellitus was ascertained by a combination of medical history and laboratory tests or use of anti-diabetic drugs. RESULTS a total of six studies involving 14,685 participants were identified. The number of falls in diabetic and non-diabetic individuals was 423 of 1,692 (25.0%) and 2,368 of 13,011 (18.2%), respectively. Diabetes mellitus was associated with an increased risk of falls (risk ratio [RR] = 1.64; 95% confidence intervals [CI] 1.27-2.11) in a random-effects model. Subgroup analyses showed that the risk of falls seemed more pronounced among both gender groups (RR = 1.81; 95% CI 1.19-2.76) than among women (RR = 1.52; 95% CI 1.04-2.21). Diabetes increased 94% (RR = 1.94; 95% CI 1.42-2.63) and 27% (RR = 1.27; 95% CI 1.06-1.52) risk of falls in insulin-treated and no-insulin-treated patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS this meta-analysis reveals that older adults with diabetes mellitus are associated with greater risk of falls, and this association is more pronounced in insulin-treated patients.

Abstract
A high body mass index (BMI) is a major risk factor for diabetes, although little is known about the characterization of a dose-response association adjusted for potential confounders. This cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2012 to August 2012; a total of 21 435 inhabitants in Jilin Province aged between 18 and 79 years were selected randomly based on multistage, stratified cluster sampling. The estimated prevalence of diabetes was 9.1% overall, 9.4% in males and 8.9% in females. After adjusting for potential confounders, the multivariable-adjusted odds ratios for the BMI-diabetes association were 1.337 (95% confidence interval = 1.185-1.508) and 1.696 (95% confidence interval = 1.429-2.042), respectively, for overweight and obesity. Through multivariable restricted cubic spline regression, continuous variation in BMI was found to be related to diabetes in a nonlinear manner (P < .001) after adjustment for confounders in both different gender and different age groups, suggesting that there is an adjusted dose-response association between continuous BMI and diabetes, with substantial population-level effects.

Enhanced Oxidative Stress and Other Potential Biomarkers for Retinopathy in Type 2 Diabetics: Beneficial Effects of the Nutraceutic Supplements. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2015; 2015:408180. [PMID: 26618168 PMCID: PMC4649073 DOI: 10.1155/2015/408180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2015] [Revised: 08/28/2015] [Accepted: 08/31/2015] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
We have studied the global risk of retinopathy in a Mediterranean population of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, according to clinical, biochemical, and lifestyle biomarkers. The effects of the oral supplementation containing antioxidants/omega 3 fatty acids (A/ω3) were also evaluated. Suitable participants were distributed into two main groups: (1) T2DMG (with retinopathy (+DR) or without retinopathy (-DR)) and (2) controls (CG). Participants were randomly assigned (+A/ω3) or not (-A/ω3) to the oral supplementation with a daily pill of Nutrof Omega (R) for 18 months. Data collected including demographics, anthropometrics, characteristics/lifestyle, ophthalmic examination (best corrected visual acuity, ocular fundus photographs, and retinal thickness as assessed by optical coherence tomography), and blood parameters (glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, triglycerides, malondialdehyde, and total antioxidant capacity) were registered, integrated, and statistically processed by the SPSS 15.0 program. Finally, 208 participants (130 diabetics (68 +DR/62 -DR) and 78 controls) completed the follow-up. Blood analyses confirmed that the T2DMG+DR patients had significantly higher oxidative stress (p < 0.05), inflammatory (p < 0.05), and vascular (p < 0.001) risk markers than the T2DMG-DR and the CG. Furthermore, the A/ω3 oral supplementation positively changed the baseline parameters, presumptively by inducing metabolic activation and ameliorating the ocular health after 18 months of supplementation.
