Qian Y, Mao J. The association between night shift work and osteoporosis risk in adults: A cross-sectional analysis using NHANES. Heliyon 2024; 10:e28240. [PMID: 38560700 PMCID: PMC10979223 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e28240] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2023] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Through this study, we assess whether night shift work increases the risk of osteoporosis, and explore the effects of age, gender, or lifestyle differences. Methods This cross-sectional study included the collection of data from a sample of the US adults who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) over a 7.3-year period (2007-2008, 2009-2010, 2017-March2020), including 4408 participants (2351[52.8%] men and 2057[47.2%] women), with an age range of 20-80 years. The primary variables, health status, nutrition, harmful lifestyle habits, and bone mineral density (BMD), were segregated, and analyzed according to different work schedules. Linear regression models were conducted to evaluate correlations of night shift work and T-scores. Associations between night shift work and osteoporosis were examined using logistic regression analyses. All regression models were stratified by gender and age ≥50 years. Osteoporosis was defined as BMD at the femoral neck or total spine equal to or less than 2.5 standard deviations below the mean for youthful people of the same gender. All data were obtained using questionnaires and examinations collected in mobile examination center (MEC) from NHANES. Results After multivariate adjustment, night shift work was related to statistically significant decreases of the total spine in T-scores of females aged ≥50 years. Furthermore, night shift work of the overall population (OR = 2.31 [95% CI, 1.03-5.18]; P = 0.043) and females aged ≥50 years (OR = 4.6 [95% CI, 1.21-17.54]; P = 0.025) was related to an increased prevalence of osteoporosis. Conclusion Night shift work correlates with a higher risk of osteoporosis in the population of the US adults, with the combined effect of age, gender, and harmful lifestyle.

Cardinali DP. Melatonin as a chronobiotic/cytoprotective agent in bone. Doses involved. J Pineal Res 2024; 76:e12931. [PMID: 38083808 DOI: 10.1111/jpi.12931] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
Because the chronobiotic and cytoprotective molecule melatonin diminishes with age, its involvement in postmenopausal and senescence pathology has been considered since long. One relevant melatonin target site in aging individuals is bone where melatonin chronobiotic effects mediated by MT1 and MT2 receptors are demonstrable. Precursors of bone cells located in bone marrow are exposed to high quantities of melatonin and the possibility arises that melatonin acts a cytoprotective compound via an autacoid effect. Proteins that are incorporated into the bone matrix, like procollagen type I c-peptide, augment after melatonin exposure. Melatonin augments osteoprotegerin, an osteoblastic protein that inhibits the differentiation of osteoclasts. Osteoclasts are target cells for melatonin as they degrade bone partly by generating free radicals. Osteoclast activity and bone resorption are impaired via the free radical scavenger properties of melatonin. The administration of melatonin in chronobiotic doses (less than 10 mg daily) is commonly used in clinical studies on melatonin effect on bone. However, human equivalent doses allometrically derived from animal studies are in the 1-1.5 mg/kg/day range for a 75 kg human adult, a dose rarely used clinically. In view of the absence of toxicity of melatonin in phase 1 pharmacological studies with doses up to 100 mg in normal volunteers, further investigation is needed to determine whether high melatonin doses have higher therapeutic efficacy in preventing bone loss.

Poor correlation between biomarkers and MRI-detected joint damage in a cross-sectional study of persons with nonsevere hemophilia A (DYNAMO study). J Thromb Haemost 2023; 21:1813-1823. [PMID: 37019364 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtha.2023.03.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Persons with nonsevere hemophilia A (NSHA) experience less frequent joint bleeding than persons with severe hemophilia A, but may still develop joint damage. Biomarkers of cartilage and synovial remodeling can reflect ongoing pathologic processes that may precede or coincide with damage on joint imaging. If so, biomarkers may be an important diagnostic tool for joint damage in NSHA. OBJECTIVE To assess the correlation between biomarkers and MRI-detected joint damage in persons with NSHA. METHODS In a cross-sectional study, men with NSHA (factor VIII [FVIII], 2-35 IU/dL) were included. Participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging of elbows, knees, and ankles and blood and urine sampling for biomarker analysis on a single visit. The following biomarker(s) were analyzed in urine: CTX-II or serum: cartilage oligomeric matrix protein, chondroitin sulfate 846, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1, osteopontin (OPN), neo-epitope of MMP -mediated degradation of type II collagen, N-terminal propeptide of type II collagen, collagen type IV M, and propetide of type IV collagen. Spearman's rank correlations were calculated between these biomarkers and the total International Prophylaxis Study group (IPSG) score, soft-tissue subscore, and osteochondral subscore. RESULTS In total, 48 persons with NSHA were included. Median age was 43 years (range, 24-55 years) and median FVIII was 10 IU/dL (IQR, 4-16 IU/dL). The median IPSG score was 4 (IQR, 2-9). Median IPSG soft-tissue subscores were 3 (IQR, 2-4) and osteochondral subscores were 0 (IQR, 0-4). No strong correlations were found between the studied biomarkers, total IPSG score, subsequent soft-tissue, and osteochondral subscores. CONCLUSIONS In this study, selected biomarkers indicative of different aspects of hemophilic arthropathy showed no consistent correlation with IPSG scores. This suggests that systemically measured biomarkers are currently not suitable for identifying milder joint damage in NSHA, as observed on magnetic resonance imaging.

Martelli M, Salvio G, Santarelli L, Bracci M. Shift Work and Serum Vitamin D Levels: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19158919. [PMID: 35897284 PMCID: PMC9332580 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19158919] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Revised: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency are highly prevalent conditions worldwide due to several factors, including poor sun exposure. Shift workers may be exposed to the risk of hypovitaminosis D due to fewer opportunities for sunlight exposure compared to day workers. A systematic review of the PubMed, SCOPUS, and EMBASE databases was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systemic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement to investigate the effect of shift work on vitamin D levels. Mean differences (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of serum 25-OH-D levels in shift workers and non-shift workers were calculated. A total of 13 cross-sectional studies were included in the meta-analysis. We found significantly lower levels of serum 25-OH-D in shift workers compared with non-shift workers (MD: −1.85, 95% CI [−2.49 to −1.21]). Heterogeneity among included studies was high (I2 = 89%, p < 0.0001), and neither subgroup analysis nor meta-regression were able to identify specific sources of the heterogeneity that may be related to the different characteristics of shift work among studies. The monitoring of serum vitamin D levels and prompt correction of any deficiencies should be considered in shift workers. Notably, since a large part of the observations are derived from Koreans, larger epidemiological studies are needed in other populations.
