Link between depression and bone mineral density in Cooper Center Longitudinal Study: Indirect effects of vitamin D, inflammation, and physical activity. J Affect Disord 2024; 344:277-283. [PMID: 37827262 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2023.10.062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To examine the effect of depressive symptom severity on bone mineral density (BMD) and the potential mediators of the relationship. METHOD This study used data from n = 7273 participants in the Cooper Center Longitudinal Study at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas. Participants were included if they had data for all study variables, including left and right femoral neck (BMD), age, sex, body mass index, smoking status, antidepressant (SSRI/SNRI) use, standard alcoholic drinks consumed per week, and depressive symptom severity as measured with the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression (CESD)-10. To evaluate the effect of depressive symptoms on both L/R femur BMD, two multiple linear regression analyses were conducted. To examine effects of vitamin D, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and physical activity (MET units) on the relationship between depressive symptom severity and BMD, parallel mediation analyses were conducted. RESULTS Depressive symptom severity (CES-D 10 score) significantly predicted both L/R BMD (L: β = -0.048, R: β = -0.047, both p ≤ .001). Only physical activity significantly mediated the relationship between depressive symptom severity and L/R BMD (L: β = -0.008, 95 % CI [-0.011, -0.005]; R: β = -0.007, 95 % CI [-0.010, -0.005]). LIMITATIONS The sample may not be generalizable to all patient populations. CONCLUSION Depressive symptom severity was inversely related to both L/R femur BMD in a large cohort of relatively healthy adults. Physical activity, but not vitamin D or hs-CRP, mediated this relationship. Future research might examine the effect of physical activity interventions both on depression and BMD. IMPACT STATEMENT We certify that this work is both novel and confirmatory of recent clinical research (Lee et al., 2015; Amsterdam and Hooper, 1998; Hlis et al., 2018; Wainstein et al., 2016; Blair et al., 1989; Farrell et al., 2022; Ainsworth et al., 2011). We demonstrated a negative relationship between depression and BMD in a large cohort of adults and expanded on previous findings by demonstrating that physical activity acts as a mediator of this relationship. Physical activity is known to stimulate osteogenesis in osteoporotic patients, and this study further expands on its role in depressive symptoms in this population. KEY POINTS

[PMID: 33965425 DOI: 10.1016/j.pbiomolbio.2021.05.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2021] [Revised: 03/27/2021] [Accepted: 05/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Bone remodeling is a complex physiological process that spans across multiple spatial and temporal scales and is regulated by both mechanical and hormonal cues. An imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation in the process of bone remodeling may lead to various bone pathologies. One powerful and non-invasive approach to gain new insights into mechano-adaptive bone remodeling is computer modeling and simulation. Recent findings in bone physiology and advances in computer modeling have provided a unique opportunity to study the integration of mechanics and biology in bone remodeling. Our objective in this review is to critically appraise recent advances and developments and discuss future research opportunities in computational bone remodeling approaches that enable integration of mechanics and cellular and molecular pathways. Based on the critical appraisal of the relevant recent published literature, we conclude that multiscale in silico integration of personalized bone mechanics and mechanobiology combined with data science and analytics techniques offer the potential to deepen our knowledge of bone remodeling and provide ample opportunities for future research.
