Prevalence and associated factors of low bone mineral density in people living with HIV: a cross-sectional study. Arch Osteoporos 2024; 19:56. [PMID: 38954143 DOI: 10.1007/s11657-024-01413-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
This study examined low bone mineral density (BMD) prevalence and associated factors among Chinese people living with HIV (PLWH), uncovering a persistent high BMD risk in older individuals, even after adjusting for age and body mass index (BMI). Notably, lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) therapy was linked to reduced BMD, highlighting the imperative need for regular BMD monitoring and interventions in older PLWH. PURPOSE HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy (ART) have been shown to contribute to lower BMD, resulting in an increased susceptibility to osteopenia and osteoporosis. However, there is limited knowledge about the prevalence of reduced BMD and its associated factors among Chinese PLWH. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with low BMD among PLWH in China. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled PLWH and non-HIV volunteers who underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans to measure bone density. Demographic information, laboratory test results, ART regimens, and treatment duration were collected. Univariate and multiple regression analyses were performed to identify factors influencing abnormal bone mass in PLWH. RESULTS A total of 829 individuals were included in this study, comprising the HIV group (n = 706) and the non-HIV group (n = 123). The prevalence of low BMD among all PLWH was found to be 13.88% (98 out of 706). However, among PLWH aged 50 years and above, the prevalence increased to 65.32% (81 out of 124). In contrast, control subjects in the same age group had a prevalence of 38.21% (47 out of 123). After adjusting for age and BMI, older PLWH still demonstrated a higher prevalence of low BMD compared to the non-HIV group (68.24% vs 34.94%, P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that older age was strongly associated with a higher risk of low BMD among PLWH, with an odds ratio (OR) of 6.28 for every 10-year increase in age in the ART-naïve population (95% confidence intervals [CIs], 3.12-12.65; P < 0.001) and OR of 4.83 in the ART-experienced population (3.20-7.29, P < 0.001). Within the ART-experienced group, current LPV/r treatment was associated with an increased risk of low BMD (OR = 3.55, 1.24-10.14, P < 0.05), along with lower BMI (OR = 0.84, 0.75-0.95, P < 0.05), and elevated alkaline phosphatase (OR = 1.02, 1.01-1.03, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION The prevalence of low BMD is higher among PLWH aged 50 years and above compared to non-HIV individuals. The use of LPV/r for ART is associated with reduced BMD. These findings emphasize the importance of regular monitoring of BMD in older PLWH and the need for appropriate interventions to mitigate the risks of osteopenia and osteoporosis in this population.

Drug-induced osteoporosis and mechanisms of bone tissue regeneration through trace elements. J Trace Elem Med Biol 2024; 84:127446.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is associated with an imbalance in bone formation, with certain drugs used in disease treatment being implicated in its development. Supplementation with trace elements may contribute to bone regeneration, offering an alternative approach by enhancing bone mineral density (BMD) and thereby thwarting the onset of osteoporosis. This review aims to assess the mechanisms through which trace elements such as copper (Cu), iron (Fe), selenium (Se), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn) are linked to increased bone mass, thus mitigating the effects of pharmaceuticals. Our findings underscore that the use of drugs such as aromatase inhibitors (AIs), proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), antiretrovirals, glucocorticoids, opioids, or anticonvulsants can result in decreased BMD, a primary contributor to osteoporosis. Research indicates that essential elements like Cu, Fe, Se, Mn, and Zn, through various mechanisms, can bolster BMD and forestall the onset of the disease, owing to their protective effects. Consequently, our study recommends a minimum daily intake of these essential minerals for patients undergoing treatment with the aforementioned drugs, as the diverse mechanisms governing the effects of trace elements Cu, Fe, Mn, Se, and Zn facilitate bone remodeling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Greater decline in bone health among people with HIV (PWH) has been documented but fracture risk and the impact of specific antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens remain unclear. SETTING Retrospective analyses of electronic health record data from 3 US integrated health care systems. METHODS Fracture incidence was compared between PWH aged 40 years or older without prior fracture and demographically matched people without HIV (PWoH), stratified by age, sex, and race/ethnicity. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate fracture risk associated with HIV infection. The association of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) use and fracture risk was evaluated in a subset of PWH initiating ART. RESULTS Incidence of fracture was higher in PWH [13.6/1000 person-years, 95% confidence interval (CI): 13.0 to 14.3, n = 24,308] compared with PWoH (9.5, 95% CI: 9.4 to 9.7, n = 247,313). Compared with PWoH, the adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) for fracture among PWH was 1.24 (95% CI: 1.18 to 1.31). The association between HIV infection and fracture risk increased with age, with the lowest aHR (1.17, 95% CI: 1.10 to 1.25) among those aged 40-49 years and the highest aHR (1.89, 95% CI: 1.30 to 2.76) among those aged 70 years or older. Among PWH initiating ART (n = 6504), TDF was not associated with significant increase in fracture risk compared with non-TDF regimens (aHR: 1.18, 95% CI: 0.89 to 1.58). CONCLUSIONS Among people aged 40 years or older, HIV infection is associated with increased risk of fractures. Bone health screening from the age of 40 years may be beneficial for PWH. Large cohort studies with longer follow-up are needed to evaluate TDF effect and the potential benefit of early screening.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION People with hemophilia risk osteoporosis more than healthy people, which may be related to specific factors. METHODS This case-control study included 53 patients with severe hemophilia type A and 49 healthy participants. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to determine bone mineral density (BMD). Collected information on age, body mass index (BMI), number of joint arthropathies, functional independence score in hemophilia (FISH), bone turnover markers, antibodies, treatment modalities. Identified independent risk factors for osteoporosis. RESULTS The BMD of the femoral neck (0.80 g/cm2vs.0.97 g/cm2), ward's triangle (0.62 g/cm2vs.0.83 g/cm2), tuberosity (0.63 g/cm2vs.0.80 g/cm2) and hip (0.80 g/cm2vs.0.98 g/ cm2) in the case group were significantly lower than those in the control group, all of which were P < 0.001. However, there was no significant difference in the overall BMD of lumbar spine(L1-L4) (1.07 g / cm2vs. 1.11 g / cm2). The frequency of osteoporosis in the case group was 41.51%. BMI and FISH score were considered as independent risk factors for BMD decrease. CONCLUSION The BMD of patients with severe hemophilia A is much lower than that of healthy population, and this difference is mainly reflected in the hip. The clear influencing factors were low BMI and functional independence decrease. Osteoclast was active while osteoblast activity was not enhanced synchronously, which may be the pathological mechanism of BMD decrease.

Abstract
The developments in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) treatment and in the care of people living with HIV (PLWHIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) over the last three decades has led to a significant increase in life expectancy, on par with HIV-negative individuals. Aside from the fact that bone fractures tend to occur 10 years earlier than in HIV-negative individuals, HIV is, per se, an independent risk factor for bone fractures. A few available antiretroviral therapies (ARVs) are also linked with osteoporosis, particularly those involving tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). HIV and hepatitis C (HCV) coinfection is associated with a greater risk of osteoporosis and fracture than HIV monoinfection. Both the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) and measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) via a DEXA scan are routinely used in the assessment of fracture risk in individuals living with HIV, as bone loss is thought to start between the ages of 40 and 50 years old. The main treatment for established osteoporosis involves bisphosphonates. Supplementation with calcium and vitamin D is part of clinical practice of most HIV centers globally. Further research is needed to assess (i) the cut-off age for assessment of osteoporosis, (ii) the utility of anti-osteoporotic agents in PLWHIV and (iii) how concomitant viral infections and COVID-19 in PLWHIV can increase risk of osteoporosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with hemophilia (PWHs) suffer from an increased risk of osteoporosis. Multiple hemophilia and hemophilic arthropathy associated factors correlate with a low bone mineral density (BMD) in PWHs. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term development of BMD in PWH as well as to analyze potentially influencing factors. METHODS A total of 33 adult PWHs were evaluated in a retrospective study. General medical history, specific-hemophilia-associated comorbidities, joint status using the Gilbert score, calcium level, and vitamin D level as well as at least two results of bone density measurements with a minimum range of 10 years per patient were taken into account. RESULTS The BMD did not change significantly from one point of measurement to the other. A total of 7 (21.2%) cases of osteoporosis and 16 (48.5%) cases of osteopenia were identified. The two following significant correlations could be revealed: the higher the patients' body mass index, the higher their BMD (r = 0.41; p = 0.022). Moreover, a high Gilbert score came along with a low BMD (r = -0.546; p = 0.003). CONCLUSION Even if PWHs frequently suffer from a reduced BMD, our data suggest that their BMD remains constant on a low level in the course of time. A risk factor of osteoporosis often found in PWHs is a vitamin D deficiency and joint destruction. Therefore, a standardized screening of PWHs on BMD reduction by collecting vitamin D blood level and assessing joint status seems appropriate.

Abstract
There are limited data regarding bone health in older people living with HIV (PWH), especially those of Asian ethnicity. We aimed to determine whether BMD in well-suppressed HIV-infected men and women aged ≥ 50 years are different from HIV-uninfected controls. In a cross-sectional study, BMD by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and calciotropic hormones were measured. A total of 481 participants were consecutively enrolled (209 HIV+ men, 88 HIV- men, 126 HIV+ women and 58 HIV- women). PWH were on average 2.5 years younger [men: 55.0 vs. 57.5 yr; women: 54.0 vs. 58.0 yr] and had lower body mass index (BMI) [men: 23.2 vs. 25.1 kg/m2; women: 23.1 vs. 24.7 kg/m2] compared to the controls. The median duration since HIV diagnosis was 19 (IQR 15-21) years in men and 18 (IQR 15-21) years in women. Three-quarters of PWH had been treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-containing antiretroviral therapy for a median time of 7.4 (IQR 4.5-8.9) years in men and 8.2 (IQR 6.1-10) years in women. In an unadjusted model, HIV+men had significantly lower BMD (g/cm2) at the total hip and femoral neck whereas there was a tend toward lower BMD in HIV+women. After adjusting for age, BMI, and other traditional osteoporotic risk factors, BMD of virologically suppressed older PWH did not differ from participants without HIV (P>0.1). PWH had lower serum 25(OH)D levels but this was not correlated with BMD. In conclusion, BMD in well-suppressed PWH is not different from non-HIV people, therefore, effective control of HIV infection and minimization of other traditional osteoporosis risk factors may help maintain good skeletal health and prevent premature bone loss in Asian PWH.

J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr 2022; 90:360-368. [PMID: 35315797 DOI: 10.1097/qai.0000000000002958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2021] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Our study aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of low bone mineral density (BMD) among HIV/AIDS patients in China. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional analysis of HIV-infected patients from October 2017 to August 2020. Demographic information, clinical data, and serum parameters were obtained. Univariable and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed. RESULTS A total of 1143 patients were included. In the ART-naive group, low BMD was diagnosed in 19.2% (117/608), including osteoporosis in 1.0% (6/608) and osteopenia in 18.3% (111/608). In the ART group, low BMD was diagnosed in 32.2% (231/717), including osteoporosis in 2.4% (17/717) and osteopenia in 29.8% (214/717). Using multivariate analysis, we identified age older than 50 years, body mass index < 18.5 kg/m2, and treatment based on tenofovir disoproxil fumarate as independent risk factors for low BMD. Low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was a protective factor for low BMD. Among low BMD participants, the most common number of low BMD sites for a patient to have was 4 (33.6%, 117/348). CONCLUSION We confirmed a high prevalence of low BMD and osteoporosis in HIV/AIDS patients, and we identified age older than 50 years, low body mass index, and a treatment based on tenofovir disoproxil fumarate as risk factors for low BMD. Low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol had a protective effect against low BMD. Among low BMD patients, patients most commonly had 4 sites with low BMD, which has been associated with fracture risk. In addition, bone changes to L1 can present before low BMD diagnosis and may be a potentially useful indicator that low BMD is developing.

Abstract
Life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLWH) is now close to that of the HIV-uninfected population. As a result, age-related comorbidities, including osteoporosis, are increasing in PLWH. This narrative review describes the epidemiology of bone fragility in PLWH, changes of bone features over the course of HIV infection and their determinants, as well as the available evidence regarding the management of osteoporosis in PLWH. The risk of fracture is higher and increases about 10 years earlier compared to the general population. The classical risk factors of bone fragility are very widespread and are major determinants of bone health in this population. The majority of bone loss occurs during virus replication and during immune reconstitution at antiretroviral therapies (ART) initiation, which both increase osteoclast activity. Abnormalities in bone formation and mineralization have also been shown in histomorphometric studies in untreated PLWH. Measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) is the first line tool for assessing fracture risk in postmenopausal women, men above 50 years, and other HIV-infected patients with clinical risk factors for osteoporosis. FRAX underestimates fracture probability in PLWH. In case of indication for anti-osteoporotic drug, bisphosphonates remain the reference option. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation should be considered as ART initiation, since it may attenuate bone loss at this stage. Bone-protective ART regimens improve BMD compared to other regimens, but to a lesser extent than bisphosphonate, and without available data on their influence on the incidence of fracture.

Abstract
The past four decades have seen enormous progress in the diagnosis and management of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. There have been significant advances spanning the approval of the first antiretroviral agents, the advent of combination antiretroviral therapy to single tablet regimens with minimal toxicity. Although these remarkable developments have on the surface led to the 'end of AIDS', there are still key populations being left behind. This clinical update will describe the diagnosis and management of HIV, and the changing paradigms that have seen HIV transform from a life-limiting condition to a manageable chronic disease over a few decades.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the many benefits that follow antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation, its chronic use contributes to the early aging of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). The aim of this cross-sectional study was to trace the prevalence of and investigate possible renal, bone and metabolic changes, as well as cardiovascular risk in 94 asymptomatic PLWHA, relating them to the duration of ART use. METHODS Four groups were evaluated according to ART use: G1 (n = 21), ART-naïve individuals; G2 (n = 17), <2 years; G3 (n = 40), 2-10 years; and G4 (n = 16) on ART for more than 10 years. RESULTS Our results showed a high prevalence of dyslipidemic individuals (64%), especially in those under ART. Lower creatine phosphokinase levels were observed in G1 as compared to the others (p < 0.05). Regarding the Framingham score, 12.1% of PLWHA showed moderate and high risk, and the highest proportion (38.5%) occurred in G4 (p = 0.003). A decrease in glomerular filtration rates occurred in 20% of patients, which was also more significant in G3 and G4 (p = 0.007). High prevalences of osteopenia and osteoporosis (53.2%) were found, especially in G1 and G4; however, G1 showed the lowest means for alkaline phosphatases (AP, p = 0.04 and BAP, p = 0.005) and osteocalcin (p = 0.005), in addition to higher vitamin-D concentrations (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Our study showed the possible contributory role of ART in these changes, which leads us to reflect on the need for specific conducts and patient care, pointing out the importance of individualized care in an attempt to increase life expectancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bone health in older individuals with HIV infection has not been well studied. This study aimed to compare bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular bone score (TBS), and bone markers between HIV-infected men and age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched HIV-uninfected men aged ≥60 years. We investigated the associations of risk factors related to fracture with BMD, TBS, and bone markers in HIV-infected men. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 45 HIV-infected men receiving antiretroviral therapy and 42 HIV-uninfected men. Medical history, BMD and TBS measurements, and laboratory tests related to bone health were assessed in all the participants. HIV-related factors known to be associated with bone loss were assessed in the HIV-infected men. RESULTS The mean BMD, TBS, and osteopenia or osteoporosis prevalence were similar among the cases and controls. The HIV-infected men had significantly higher mean N-terminal propeptide of type 1 procollagen and C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen levels. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that low BMI (lumbar spine, P = .015; femoral neck, P = .018; and total hip, P = .005), high C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen concentration (total hip, P = .042; and TBS, P = .010), and low vitamin D supplementation (TBS, P = .035) were independently associated with low BMD and TBS. CONCLUSION In older HIV-infected men with a low fracture risk, the mean BMD and TBS were similar to those of the age- and BMI-matched controls. The mean bone marker levels were higher in the HIV group. Traditional risk factors for fracture, including low BMI, high C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen level, and low vitamin D supplementation, were significant predictors of low BMD and TBS.

Abstract
Background Although low bone mineral density (BMD) is associated with an increased risk of fracture, few studies have assessed fracture rates in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Methods The occurrence of subclinical fractures in patients with HIV was assessed. Pearson’s chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between subclinical fractures and related factors. Results Fifty patients with HIV were included, among whom 11 were diagnosed with subclinical fractures. These 11 patients had a mean body mass index of 24.127 ± 3.482 kg/m2, smoked a mean of 142.091 ± 3.482 cigarettes/month, drank a mean of 61.545 ± 13.026 mL/day of alcohol, had a mean CD4+ T cell count of 247.727 ± 181.679 cells/mm3, had a mean duration of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) of 4.27 ± 0.786 years, and had a mean BMD of the third lumbar spine of 0.810 ± 0.063 g/cm3. The AIDS duration and BMD of the third lumbar spine were significantly associated with subclinical fractures. The BMD of the third lumbar spine was negatively correlated with subclinical fractures. Conclusion A significant negative correlation was found between the BMD of the third lumbar spine and subclinical fractures.

Long-term trabecular bone score and bone mineral density changes in Chinese antiretroviral-treated HIV-infected individuals. Arch Osteoporos 2021; 16:41. [PMID: 33624129 PMCID: PMC9675940 DOI: 10.1007/s11657-021-00890-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2020] [Accepted: 01/06/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED This is the first 5-year analysis among persons with HIV (PWH) that reports both trabecular bone score (TBS), which is a novel index that estimates bone microarchitecture, and bone mineral density (BMD) over time to evaluate the long-term impact of antiretroviral therapy (ART) on bone health. PURPOSE HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy (ART) have been associated with decreased bone mineral density (BMD). This study aims to evaluate long-term changes in trabecular bone score (TBS), a novel index that estimates bone microarchitecture, and BMD among Chinese persons with HIV (PWH) treated with ART. METHODS We conducted a retrospective chart review of adult PWH at a large tertiary care hospital in China. Patients who had a DXA scan prior to ART and at least one follow-up DXA after ART initiation were included. Subgroup analyses examined the TBS and BMD changes in patients who switch from a non-TDF-containing regimen to one containing TDF, as compared to those who did not switch. RESULTS Four hundred fifty-nine PWH were included. Among 68 patients ≥ 50 years, 13 patients (19.1%) had a normal BMD but partially degraded or degraded TBS. The mean percent decrease in lumbar spine (LS) BMD nadired at 48 weeks after ART initiation and then gradually improved. Percent decrease in femoral neck (FN) and total hip (TH) BMD nadired at 96 weeks and remained stably low thereafter. After switch to a TDF-containing regimen, only percent change in TH BMD was significant (-3.2%, p = 0.006). In the regression analyses, switch to a TDF-containing regimen was not associated with long-term change in TBS or BMD. CONCLUSION This is the first study among PWH to evaluate the long-term impact of ART on TBS and BMD. At baseline, approximately 20% of patients had a normal BMD but impaired bone microstructure based upon TBS. For patients with 5 years of exposure to ART, there is a stabilization of TBS and BMD after initial nadir in the first 144 weeks. However, FN BMD, TH BMD, and TBS remained low at 5 years relative to baseline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study set out to determine the prevalence of low bone mass following long-term exposure to antiretroviral therapy in Ugandan people living with HIV. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among 199 people living with HIV that had been on anti-retroviral therapy for at least 10 years. All participants had dual X-ray absorptiometry to determine their bone mineral density. The data collected included antiretroviral drug history and behavioral risk data Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data. Inferential statistics were analyzed using multilevel binomial longitudinal Markov chain Monte Carlo mixed multivariate regression modelling using the rstanarm package. RESULTS One hundred ninety nine adults were enrolled with equal representation of males and females. The mean age was 39.5 (SD 8.5) years. Mean durations on anti-retroviral treatment was 12.1 (SD 1.44) years, CD4 cell count was 563.9 cells/mm3. 178 (89.5%) had viral suppression with <50 viral copies/ml. There were 4 (2.0%) and 36 (18%) participants with low bone mass of the hip and lumbar spine respectively. Each unit increase in body mass index was associated with a significant reduction in the odds for low bone mineral density of the hip and lumbar spine. The duration on and exposure to the various antiretroviral medications had no significant effect on the participant's odds for developing low bone mass. All the coefficients of the variables in a multivariable model for either hip or lumbar spine bone mass were not significant. CONCLUSION These results provide additional evidence that patients on long term ART achieve bone mass stabilization. Maintaining adequate body weight is important in maintaining good bone health in people on antiretroviral therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoporosis is reported as a common comorbidity in patients living with HIV (PLHIV). The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to assess the evidence on fracture risk in PLHIV, bone mineral density (BMD) in PLHIV compared with controls, longitudinal changes in BMD in PLHIV, and effect of antiosteoporosis treatment in PLHIV. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted using the databases Medline at PubMed and EMBASE using the search terms: "HIV" and "fracture" or "bone turnover," or "bone mineral density." Eligibility criteria followed the aim of the study and include randomized controlled trials and observational studies. Two reviewers extracted the data independently. Meta-analysis was performed using random-effects model assessing fracture risk, BMD compared with controls, and changes in BMD. RESULTS One hundred forty-two of 2397 papers identified were included in the systematic review, and subsequently, 84 were included in the meta-analysis. The risks of a fragility fracture [1.51, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.41 to 1.63] and hip fracture (4.05, 95% CI: 2.99 to 5.49) were increased. PLHIV have lower BMD at the hip (z-score -0.31, 95% CI: -0.46 to -0.27) and lumbar spine (z-score -0.36, 95% CI: -0.39 to -0.15) compared with controls. The reduced BMD did not fully explain the increased fracture risk in PLHIV. CONCLUSIONS Current management of osteoporosis in PLHIV follows general osteoporosis guidelines; however, the increased fracture risk is not fully explained by lower BMD, and thus, antiosteoporosis intervention may be beneficial at a higher BMD in PLHIV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low bone mineral density (BMD) has been described in people living with HIV (PLWH). We examined the prevalence of low BMD measured by quantitative computed tomography (QCT), a method that allows 3-dimensional volumetric density measures at the thoracic spine, in well-treated PLWH and uninfected controls and assessed risk factors for reduced BMD. METHODS Cross-sectional study including 718 PLWH from the Copenhagen Co-Morbidity in HIV infection (COCOMO) study and 718 uninfected controls matched on age and sex from the Copenhagen General Population Study (CGPS). Trabecular BMD was determined by QCT. RESULTS Median BMD was 144.2 mg/cm in PLWH vs. 146.6 mg/cm in controls (P = 0.580). HIV status was not associated with BMD in univariable or multivariable linear analyses. However, a higher prevalence of very low BMD (T-score ≤ -2.5) was found in PLWH (17.2% vs. 11.0% in controls, P = 0.003). In unadjusted analysis, HIV was associated with very low BMD (odds ratio 1.68 [95% confidence interval: 1.24-2.27], P = 0.001), but this association was not significant after adjusting for age, sex, smoking, alcohol, body mass index, physical activity, and ethnicity. Previous AIDS-defining disease was associated with lower BMD, but no other associations with HIV-specific variables were identified. CONCLUSION Using QCT, we found a higher prevalence of very low BMD in PLWH than in controls. However, HIV status was not independently associated with BMD indicating that traditional risk factors contribute to the difference in prevalence of very low BMD. Focus on improvement of lifestyle factors, especially in PLWH with previous AIDS-defining disease, may prevent very low BMD in PLWH.

Abstract
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV)/AIDS pandemic represents the most significant global health challenge in modern history. This infection leads toward an inflammatory state associated with chronic immune dysregulation activation that tilts the immune-skeletal interface and its deep integration between cell types and cytokines with a strong influence on skeletal renewal and exacerbated bone loss. Hence, reduced bone mineral density is a complication among HIV-infected individuals that may progress to osteoporosis, thus increasing their prevalence of fractures. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) can effectively control HIV replication but the regimens, that include tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), may accelerate bone mass density loss. Molecular mechanisms of HIV-associated bone disease include the OPG/RANKL/RANK system dysregulation. Thereby, osteoclastogenesis and osteolytic activity are promoted after the osteoclast precursor infection, accompanied by a deleterious effect on osteoblast and its precursor cells, with exacerbated senescence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). This review summarizes recent basic research data on HIV pathogenesis and its relation to bone quality. It also sheds light on HAART-related detrimental effects on bone metabolism, providing a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in bone dysfunction and damage as well as how the HIV-associated imbalance on the gut microbiome may contribute to bone disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Most prospective studies of bone mineral density (BMD) in HIV-infected cohorts taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) have been of short duration, typically < 3 years. Such studies have reported short-term stable or increasing BMD. We assessed whether this BMD stability persists for > 10 years in middle-aged and older men established on ART. METHODS A 12-year, prospective, longitudinal study in 44 HIV-infected men treated with ART who had measurements of BMD at the lumbar spine, proximal femur and total body at baseline, 2, 6 and 12 years. RESULTS At baseline, the mean age of participants was 49 years, the mean duration of HIV infection was 8 years, and the mean duration of ART was 50 months. After 12 years, BMD increased by 6.9% (95% CI 3.4 to 10.3) at the lumbar spine, and remained stable (range of BMD change: - 0.6% to 0.0%) at the total hip, femoral neck and total body. Only two individuals had a decrease of > 10% in BMD at any site during follow-up and both decreases in BMD were explained by co-morbid illnesses. CONCLUSIONS BMD remained stable over 12 years in middle-aged and older HIV-infected men treated with ART. Monitoring BMD in men established on ART who do not have risk factors for BMD loss is not necessary.

Virologically suppressed HIV-infected patients on TDF-containing regimens significantly benefit from switching to TAF-containing regimens: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Int J Infect Dis 2019; 87:43-53. [PMID: 31330323 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijid.2019.07.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2019] [Revised: 07/12/2019] [Accepted: 07/15/2019] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate whether TDF-containing regimens significantly benefited efficacy, safety, and tolerability in TAF-containing regimens in virologically suppressed HIV-infected patients. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Trial Registry were systematically searched for eligible studies. We extracted and evaluated the pooled data from available randomized controlled trials (RCTs). RESULTS Eight eligible RCTs were included. In the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis, patients who switched to TAF-containing regimens had significantly better viral suppression than those continuing TDF-containing regimens at weeks 48 and 96 (RR, 1.02; 95CI, 1.00-1.03; p<0.05), but no significant difference in the per-protocol (PP) analysis (RR, 1.00; 95CI, 0.99-1.01; p>0.05). Compared with those receiving the TDF-containing regimens, virologically suppressed HIV-infected patients on the TAF-containing regimens had significant increases in CD4 cell counts (SMD, 0.12; 95CI, 0.08 to 0.17; p<0.05), renal and bone parameters at the hip (RR, 2.86; 95CI, 2.24-3.64; p<0.05) and the spine (RR, 2.43; 95 CI, 2.03-2.90; p<0.05) between weeks 48 and 96. CONCLUSIONS Virologically suppressed HIV-infected patients on TDF-containing regimens significantly benefit from switching to TAF-containing regimens, resulting in better viral suppression, better immune reconstruction, and less bone and renal problems.

Abstract
Life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLWH) is reaching similar length as in the general population. Accordingly, age-related comorbidities, including osteoporosis, are increasing. Fracture risk is higher and increases approximately 10 years earlier in PLWH. Classical risk factors of bone fragility are highly prevalent in PLWH but factors specific for HIV infection itself and the type of antiretroviral therapy (ART) (triple combination antiretroviral therapy) regimen (especially tenofovir and protease inhibitors) also contribute to bone loss. The majority of bone loss occurs during virus activity and at initiation of ART (immune reconstitution) and is associated with an increase of bone resorption (upregulation RANKL). Recent data indicate that calcium and vitamin D supplements as ART initiation lower BMD loss. The reduction of tenofovir plasma concentrations with tenofovir alafenamide attenuates BMD loss but it remains unknown whether it will contribute to reduce fracture risk. Hence, special considerations for the management of bone fragility in PLWH are warranted. Based on the current state of epidemiology and pathophysiology of osteoporosis in PLWH, we provide the consensus of the Swiss Association against Osteoporosis on best practice for diagnosis, prevention, and management of osteoporosis in this population. Periodic assessment of fracture risk is indicated in all HIV patients and general preventive measures should be implemented. All postmenopausal women, men above 50 years of age, and patients with other clinical risk for fragility fractures qualify for BMD measurement. An algorithm clarifies when treatment with bisphosphonates and review of ART regimen in favour of more bone-friendly options are indicated.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The prevalence of hepatitis B was higher in osteoporosis patients than the control group, especially in females. However, the prevalence of hepatitis C was not different. The matching for various factors improved to have same conditions between osteoporosis patients and the control group. PURPOSE Although chronic liver disease, including hepatitis B and hepatitis C, has been associated with osteoporosis in previous studies, the evidence was insufficient, and some findings were inconsistent. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between hepatitis B or hepatitis C and osteoporosis. METHODS We used the Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort with ≥ 50-year-old participants from 2002 to 2013. Age was determined at osteoporosis diagnosis. We extracted 68,492 osteoporosis patients (ICD-10 codes E7001-E7004, HC341-HC345) with a 68,492-member control group at a ratio of 1:1 by age, sex, income, region of residence, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. We analyzed previous histories of hepatitis B (ICD-10 codes B18.0-B18.1) and hepatitis C (ICD-10 code B18.2) in the osteoporosis patients and control groups. The logistic regression with the crude and adjusted model was analyzed. Additionally, subgroup analyses divided by age and sex were performed. RESULTS The adjusted odds ratios for hepatitis B and hepatitis C were 1.19 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.11-1.28, P < 0.001) and 1.04 (95% CI = 0.90-1.19, P > 0.05), respectively, in osteoporosis patients. Subgroup analyses showed that the risk of hepatitis B was higher in osteoporosis patients in female groups but not in male groups. CONCLUSION Hepatitis B virus infection might be a risk factor for osteoporosis.

Relationship Between Vertebral Fractures, Bone Mineral Density, and Osteometabolic Profile in HIV and Hepatitis B and C-Infected Patients Treated With ART. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2019; 10:302. [PMID: 31139152 PMCID: PMC6527878 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2019.00302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2018] [Accepted: 04/26/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the alterations of bone metabolism and the prevalence of vertebral fractures in the population with HIV and hepatitis B and C seropositivity in treatment with antiretroviral drugs (HAART). Methods: We selected 83 patients with diagnosis of HIV, HBV, HCV infection. In all these patients biochemical examinations of phospho-calcium metabolism and a densitometry of lumbar spine were performed. We also evaluated lateral spine X-rays in order to analyze the presence of vertebral deformities and to define their severity. As a control group we analyzed the prevalence of vertebral fractures in a group of 40 non-infectious patients. Results: We selected 82 seropositive patients, 46 males and 37 females, with a median age of 55 ± 10 years. Out of these patients, 55 were infected by HIV, 12 were infected by HBV, 11 presented HIV and HCV co-infection and 4 were HCV+. The prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in the studied population was 53%, while the prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia was 14 and 48%, respectively. The average T-score in the fractured population was -1.9 SD. The viral load and the CD4+ cell count were respectively, directly, and inversely correlated with the number and severity of vertebral fractures. Antiretroviral therapy regimen containing TDF and PI was a significant determinant of the presence of vertebral deformities. The use of these drugs was also associated with lower levels of vitamin D and higher bone turnover levels compared to other antiretroviral drugs. Conclusions: HIV patients suffer from bone fragility, particularly at spine, independently by the level of bone mineral density. In this population, the T-score threshold for the risk of fracture is higher than that usually used in general population. For this reason, it would be indicated to perform an X-ray of the spine in order to detect vertebral deformities even in patients with a normal or slighlty reduced bone mineral density.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Reduced bone mineral density (BMD) is a frequent comorbidity observed in people living with HIV (PLHIV). We aimed to determine the prevalence of reduced BMD and its associated factors among young PLHIV men, virologically controlled by combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). DESIGN A bicentric cross-sectional study. METHODS We selected men, aged less than 50 years, treated by cART, with HIV-RNA less than 50 copies/ml. BMDs of lumbar spine and hip were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). A Z-score at either site between -1.0 and -2.0 or -2 or less defined osteopenia or osteoporosis, respectively. Linear and polytomous logistic regression analyses were performed. RESULTS Among 230 men with a median age of 43 [interquartile range (IQR), 36-47] years, BMI of 23.5 (21.3-25.3) kg/m(2) and median duration of cART of 4.2 (1.7-8.5) years, reduced BMD was diagnosed in 48.3%. In multivariate analyses, BMI decrease was associated with a risk of osteopenia [odds ratio (OR) = 1.17, P < 0.01] and osteoporosis (OR = 1.24, P < 0.01). Oestradiol levels decrease were associated with osteoporosis (OR = 1.32, P < 0.05) and lower lean mass with osteopenia (OR = 2.98, P < 0.01). There was a protective effect of the duration of cART (OR = 0.87, P < 0.01), which was even greater when the duration was more than 3 years (OR = 0.44, P = 0.02). CONCLUSION There is a high prevalence of reduced BMD among young men, despite persistent virological control of HIV-infection. This observation raises the question of extending current recommendations for BMD assessment to PLHIV aged < 50 years for whom BMD has stabilized after cART initiation, i.e. treated for more than three years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE HIV-infected patients have a high prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD), but BMD changes remain unclear. This cross-sectional retrospective observational study aimed to characterize the prevalence and associated factors of low BMD in HIV patients. METHODS Between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2016, all patients aged 20 years or greater who sought for HIV care were included. BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Multivariable analyses of the association with HIV disease status, treatment and anthropometric parameters were performed. Circulating fibroblast growth factor 23 and intact parathyroid hormone were measured. RESULTS A total of 137 patients was included; their median age was 39 years old; 97.8% were treated with combination antiretroviral therapy (cART); Body mass index (BMI) was 21.97 kg/m2. Sixty-one patients (44.5%) showed low BMD (osteopenia and osteoporosis) based on the WHO criteria. The median BMD was -0.80 g/cm2 (IQR, -1.5 to -0.2). The prevalence rate of low BMD was 37% in those who were aged 20-29 years, 45.2% in those who were aged 30-39 years, 45.2% in those who were aged 40-49 years, 45.8% in those who were aged 50-59 years, and 53.8% in those who were aged ≧60 years. More than half of patients (50.4%, 69/137) were younger than 40 years. Compared with normal BMD group, the low BMD group has a higher proportion of secondary hyperparathyroidism (18.0% vs 5.3%, p: 0.026) and a lower median C-terminal FGF23 level (48.92 vs 62.61 pg/ml, p: 0.008). Univariate and multivariate analyses of the factors associated with low BMD. We found that only serum intact-parathyroid hormone (iPTH) > 69 pg/ml (OR, 3.86; 95% CI, 1.14-13.09) was statistically significant associated with low BMD in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS This cohort-based survey showed a high prevalence of low BMD among HIV-infected adults which included young-age patient in an university hospital. Secondary hyperparathyroidism was significantly associated with low BMD. There was no association between FGF23 and low BMD.

Abstract
Introduction Previous studies indicate that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infection and combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) can affect bone turnover. Furthermore, HIV-infected patients have lower bone mineral density (BMD) compared to a healthy reference population. Objective To evaluate the longitudinal effect of HIV-infection and cART on bone turnover markers (BTMs) and BMD in men with primary HIV-infection (PHI). Design, methods Thirty-five PHI-men were divided into two groups, those that received cART for the first time (n = 26) versus no-cART (n = 9). Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was performed on femoral neck (FN), total hip (TH) and lumbar spine (LS) and BTMs (P1NP, alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, ICTP and CTX) were measured at baseline and follow-up. Results At baseline, the median CD4+ T-cell count was 455 cells/mm3 (IQR 320–620) and plasma viral load 5.4 log10 copies/mL (IQR 4.7–6.0) in the cART treated group, compared to 630 (IQR 590–910) and 4.8 (IQR 4.2–5.1) in the untreated group. The median follow-up time was 60.7 weeks (IQR 24.7–96.0). All BTMs, except ICTP, showed a significant increase during cART versus no changes of BTMs in the untreated group. FN and TH BMD showed a significant decrease in both groups. LS BMD did not change in both groups. Conclusion Bone turnover increased in PHI-men treated with cART which was accompanied by a decrease in FN and TH BMD. No increase of bone turnover was seen in untreated PHI-men. Our study suggests that cART results in increased bone turnover and decreased BMD of the hip in PHI-men.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is a standard first-line therapy for HIV. Recently, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), a different prodrug for the same active moiety, has been approved. In this review, we have conducted a meta-analysis comparing efficacy and safety data for TDF and TAF, to inform a discussion of which drug would be best for a proposed 'universal antiretroviral (ARV) regimen'. RECENT FINDINGS We identified 10 randomized controlled trials comparing TDF with TAF (6969 patients, 8043 patient-years of follow-up). Meta-analysis found no difference in treatment efficacy, resistance, or adverse events. There were significant differences favouring TAF in bone mineral density measures and renal function measures, but no significant difference in bone fracture events or discontinuations because of bone toxicity or renal toxicity. TAF arms showed higher lipid levels, and were associated with a slightly greater risk of being started on lipid-lowering therapy. SUMMARY TAF has lesser detrimental effects on renal and bone markers, but no difference in adverse events. Data are unavailable for TAF safety in pregnancy, tuberculosis coinfection, and low CD4 count. Data for these groups, and an affordable price, will be required before it can be recommended as part of a 'universal ARV regimen'.

Abstract
: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a potent and underutilized HIV prevention tool. In this paper we review the state of knowledge regarding PrEP implementation for men who have sex with men and transgender persons in early adopting countries. We focus on implementation of PrEP in demonstration projects and clinical care, and describe the status of PrEP availability and uptake. We report on approaches to identifying appropriate PrEP candidates in real-world settings and on best practices for clinical monitoring. This includes the exclusion of undiagnosed HIV infection prior to PrEP initiation and longitudinal measurement of renal function, in light of safety data. Since adherence is the primary factor moderating the effectiveness of PrEP, we discuss effective adherence support interventions. Additionally, we review the evidence for risk compensation with PrEP use and opportunities to provide PrEP as part of comprehensive and inclusive preventive health programs. We summarize cost-effectiveness studies, including their variable conclusions because of differing underlying assumptions, and discuss the importance of budgetary impact for public health programs and health care insurers. Further, we emphasize a need for greater engagement of health care providers in PrEP to increase access. We conclude with recommendations for ways to improve future efforts at implementing PrEP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Falls and fall-related injuries are a major public health concern. HIV-infected adults have been shown to have a high incidence of falls. Identification of major risk factors for falls that are unique to HIV infection or similar to those in the general population will inform development of future interventions for fall prevention. METHODS HIV-infected and uninfected men and women participating in the Hearing and Balance Substudy of the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study and Women's Interagency HIV Study were asked about balance symptoms and falls during the prior 12 months. Falls were categorized as 0, 1, or ≥ 2; proportional odds logistic regression models were used to investigate relationships between falls and demographic and clinical variables and multivariable models were created. RESULTS Twenty-four per cent of 303 HIV-infected participants reported at least one fall compared with 18% of 233 HIV-uninfected participants (P = 0.27). HIV-infected participants were demographically different from HIV-uninfected participants, and were more likely to report clinical imbalance symptoms (P ≤ 0.035). In univariate analyses, more falls were associated with hepatitis C, female sex, obesity, smoking, and clinical imbalance symptoms, but not age, HIV serostatus or other comorbidities. In multivariable analyses, female sex and imbalance symptoms were independently associated with more falls. Among HIV-infected participants, smoking, a higher number of medications, and imbalance symptoms remained independent fall predictors, while current protease inhibitor use was protective. CONCLUSIONS Similar rates of falls among HIV-infected and uninfected participants were largely explained by a high prevalence of imbalance symptoms. Routine assessment of falls and dizziness/imbalance symptoms should be considered, with interventions targeted at reducing symptomatology.

Abstract
Chronic infections with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) add to age-dependent bone loss and may contribute to lower bone strength in the elderly. In this review, we report recent highlights on the epidemiology of bone fragility in chronic viral infections with HIV, HCV and HBV, its physiopathology and discuss the interference of antiviral therapies with bone metabolism. Chronic infections influence bone through the interactions between risk factors for bone fragility and falls (which are highly prevalent in infected patients), virus activity and antiviral drugs. HIV-infected patients are at increased risk of fracture and the risk is higher in cases of co-infection with HIV and untreated chronic viral hepatitis. In HIV patients, the majority of bone loss occurs during virus activity and at initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, long-term elderly HIV-infected patients on successful ART display bone microstructure alterations only partially captured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Bone loss is associated with an increase of bone resorption, reflecting the upregulation of the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) pathways via a crosstalk between virus activity, inflammation and the immune system. The use of some antiviral drugs, such as tenofovir (controlling both HBV and HIV infections) or protease inhibitors, may be associated with higher bone toxicity. The reduction of tenofovir plasma concentrations with the implementation of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) attenuates bone mineral density (BMD) loss but it remains unknown whether it will contribute to reducing fracture risk in long-term HIV-treated patients. Moreover, to what extent the new direct-acting agents for treatment of HCV, including nucleotide inhibitors and protease inhibitors, may affect bone health similarly as ART in HIV should be investigated.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are associated with an increased risk of fracture but the mechanism is unclear. We sought to determine the effect of TZDs on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane CENTRAL databases were searched from inception until January 2015 for randomised controlled trials comparing TZDs with metformin, sulfonylureas or placebo, and those reporting changes in BMD and/or bone turnover markers. The primary outcome was percentage change in BMD from baseline and results were pooled with random effects meta-analyses. RESULTS In all, 18 trials were included in the primary analyses and another two were included in the sensitivity analyses (n = 3,743, 50% women, mean age 56 years, median trial duration 48 weeks). TZDs decreased BMD at the lumbar spine (difference -1.1% [95% CI -1.6, -0.7]; p < 0.0001), total hip (-1.0% [-1.4, -0.6]; p < 0.0001) and forearm (-0.9% [-1.6, -0.3]; p = 0.007). There were statistically non-significant decreases in BMD at the femoral neck (-0.7% [-1.4, 0.0]; p = 0.06) and total body (-0.3% [-0.5, 0.0]; p = 0.08). Five trials (n = 450) showed no statistically significant difference in percentage change in BMD between the TZD group and controls up to 1 year following TZD withdrawal. In 14 trials, the effect of TZD treatment on turnover markers varied considerably between individual studies. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Treatment with TZDs results in modest bone loss that may not be reversed 1 year after cessation of treatment.
