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.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1120083. [PMID: 37035336 PMCID: PMC10073499 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1120083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Some studies had reported that patients with viral hepatitis are at increased risk of reduced bone mineral density and even osteoporosis. However, the interaction between reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and viral hepatitis remains inconclusive. Therefore, our study collected hepatitis test results and bone mineral density from respondents in the NHANES database. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is an association between hepatitis and a decrease in bone mineral density. Methods The respondents with both hepatitis- and BMD-related indicators from the NHANES database in the United States from 2005-2010, 2013-2014, to 2017-2020 were collected for this study. BMD were compared between respondents who were positive and negative for respondents related to hepatitis B and C. BMD was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry of the femur and lumbar spine. Finally, multiple regression analysis was performed between hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis C RNA (HCV-RNA) and BMD in the respondents. Results A total of 15,642 respondents were included in the hepatitis B surface antigen-related survey. Of these, 1,217 respondents were positive for hepatitis B surface antigen. A total of 5111 hepatitis C RNA-related responders were included. Hepatitis C RNA-positive had 268 respondents. According to the results of the multiple regression analysis, the femoral BMD was significantly lower in HBsAg (+) respondents compared to HBsAg (-) respondents: -0.018 (-0.026, -0.009) (P < 0.01). Moreover, spinal BMD was significantly lower in HBsAg (+) respondents compared to HBsAg (-) respondents: -0.020 (-0.030, -0.010) (P < 0.01). According to the results of multiple regression analysis for hepatitis C RNA, HCV-RNA (+) respondents had significantly lower BMD compared to HCV-RNA (-) respondents: -0.043 (-0.059, -0.026) (P < 0.01). Conclusion During the analysis of respondents in the NHANES database in the United States, positive tests for hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis C RNA were found to be associated with a reduction in BMD. Positive serology for these hepatitis indicators may increase the risk of reduced BMD. Of course, this conclusion still needs to be further confirmed by more large clinical trials.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of coccidiosis on bone quality and antioxidant status in the liver and bone marrow of broiler chickens. A total of 360 13-day old male broilers (Cobb 500) were randomly assigned to different groups (negative control, low, medium-low, medium-high, and highest dose groups) and orally gavaged with different concentrations of Eimeria oocysts solution. Broiler tibia and tibia bone marrow were collected at 6 days post-infection (6 dpi) for bone 3-D structural analyses and the gene expression related to osteogenesis, oxidative stress, and adipogenesis using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and real-time qPCR analysis, respectively. Metaphyseal bone mineral density and content were reduced in response to the increase of Eimeria challenge dose, and poor trabecular bone traits were observed in the high inoculation group. However, there were no significant structural changes in metaphyseal cortical bone. Medium-high Eimeria challenge dose significantly increased level of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG, p < 0.05) and decreased levels of bone gamma-carboxyglutamate protein coding gene (BGLAP, p < 0.05) and fatty acid synthase coding gene (FASN, p < 0.05) in bone marrow. An increased mRNA level of superoxide dismutase type 1 (SOD1, p < 0.05) and heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1, p < 0.05), and increased enzyme activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD, p < 0.05) were found in bone marrow of Eimeria challenged groups compared with that of non-infected control. Similarly, enzyme activity of SOD and the mRNA level of SOD1, HMOX1 and aflatoxin aldehyde reductase (AKE7A2) were increased in the liver of infected broilers (p < 0.05), whereas glutathione (GSH) content was lower in the medium-high challenge group (p < 0.05) compared with non-challenged control. Moreover, the mRNA expression of catalase (CAT) and nuclear factor kappa B1 (NFKB1) showed dose-depend response in the liver, where expression of CAT and NFKB1 was upregulated in the low challenge group but decreased with the higher Eimeria challenge dosage (p < 0.05). In conclusion, high challenge dose of Eimeria infection negatively affected the long bone development. The structural changes of tibia and decreased mineral content were mainly located at the trabecular bone of metaphyseal area. The change of redox and impaired antioxidant status following the Eimeria infection were observed in the liver and bone marrow of broilers.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is one of the complications of chronic viral hepatitis related cirrhosis, and the pathogenesis and treatment methods for osteoporosis have been extensively studied. However, whether chronic viral hepatitis is the risk factor for osteoporosis is still controversial. Some studies have demonstrated the relationship between them, but there is still no systematic judgment on its pathogenesis and treatment. In this review, we systematically summarize the risk, possible pathogenesis, and treatment scheme of osteoporosis secondary to non-cirrhosis chronic viral hepatitis, with an aim to clarify the relationship between chronic viral hepatitis and osteoporosis, remind clinicians to be alert to the possibility of osteoporosis complicated by chronic viral hepatitis, and provide support for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the effects of eradication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) on bone mineral density (BMD) and biomarkers of bone remodeling in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/HCV-coinfected patients. METHODS We prospectively assessed standardized BMD (sBMD) at the lumbar spine and femoral neck, World Health Organization BMD categories at both sites, and plasma concentrations of soluble receptor activator of NF-κβ ligand (sRANKL), and osteoprotegerin (OPG) at baseline (the date of initiation of anti-HCV therapy) and at 96 weeks. RESULTS A total of 238 patients were included. The median age was 49.5 years, 76.5% were males, 48.3% had cirrhosis, 98.3% were on antiretroviral therapy, median CD4+ cell count was 527 cells/μL, and 86.6% had HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL. The prevalence of osteoporosis at baseline at the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) was 17.6% and 7.2%, respectively. Anti-HCV therapy comprised pegylated interferon (peg-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV) plus 1 direct-acting antiviral in 53.4%, peg-IFN/RBV in 34.5%, and sofosbuvir/RBV in 12.2%. A total of 145 (60.9%) patients achieved sustained virologic response (SVR). No significant effect of SVR was observed on sBMD for the interaction between time and SVR either in the LS (P = .801) or the FN (P = .911). Likewise, no significant effect of SVR was observed in plasma levels of sRANKL (P = .205), OPG (P = .249), or sRANKL/OPG ratio (P = .123) for the interaction between time and SVR. No significant correlation was found between fibrosis by transient elastography, and LS and FN sBMD, at baseline and week 96. CONCLUSIONS SVR was not associated with significant changes in BMD nor biomarkers of bone remodeling in HIV/HCV-coinfected persons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antiretroviral therapy (ART), especially with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), has been associated with accelerated bone turnover and leads to significant bone loss. OBJECTIVE We aimed to determine the effect of vitamin D2 and calcium on bone mineral density (BMD) in HIV-infected patients receiving TDF/emtricitabine (FTC)/efavirenz (EFV). METHODS A prospective, open-label, randomized controlled study was conducted. Eligible patients were ART naïve HIV individuals who initiated TDF/FTC/EFV. The study group received supplementation with vitamin D2 and calcium carbonate, whereas the control group was administered only ART. The primary outcome was the percentage change in total hip BMD at week 24 compared with baseline. RESULTS A total of 18 patients were randomized (9 in each group). The mean (standard deviation; SD) total hip BMD significantly decreased from baseline in both groups, from 0.96 (0.14) g/cm2 to 0.93 (0.13) g/cm2 in the study group (p = 0.006) and from 0.87 (0.11) g/cm2 to 0.84 (0.11) g/cm2 in the control group (p = 0.004). The mean (SD) lumbar spine BMD significantly decreased from baseline in both groups, from 1.00 (0.13) g/cm2 to 0.97 (0.13) g/cm2 (p = 0.004) in the study group and from 0.90 (0.09) g/cm3 to 0.86 (0.08) g/cm2 in the control group (p = 0.006). At week 24, the mean (SD) lumbar spine BMD was significantly greater in the study group than in the control group (p = 0.042). However, there were no significant differences in the percentage change of total hip, lumbar spine, and femoral neck BMD between both groups. No adverse events were reported. In conclusion, as early as 24 weeks after TDF initiation, a significant decline in BMD was detected. CONCLUSION Vitamin D2 and calcium supplements should be considered for HIV-infected patients receiving TDF/FTC/EFV in a resource-limited setting where there are limited ART options (Clinicaltrials. gov NCT0287643).

Abstract
UNLABELLED We studied 112 treatment-naïve chronic HCV patients without cirrhosis, and we found that, especially HCV+ postmenopausal women, they had lower TBS and BMD values than healthy controls. This suggests that HCV infection is an independent risk factor for osteoporosis, and therefore, screening for osteoporosis in postmenopausal HCV+ women should be considered. PURPOSE To know whether patients in earlier stages of chronic HCV infection are at increased risk of developing low bone mass and bone microarchitectural changes and whether there is an association between bone metabolism and the severity of the liver disease. METHODS We studied 112 treatment-naïve chronic HCV outpatients and 233 healthy age- and sex-matched controls. Bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS) were assessed by DXA. Serum 25(OH)D, PTH, P1NP, and CTX were determined by electrochemiluminescence. RESULTS TBS values were significantly lower in HCV patients than in controls, both considering the population as a whole (1.337 ± 0.119 vs. 1.377 ± 0.122; p < 0.005) and after stratifying by sex (1.347 ± 0.12 vs. 1.381 ± 0.13 in men and 1.314 ± 0.10 vs. 1.369 ± 0.11 in women). The difference remained significant (p < 0.0001 in all cases) after adjusting for confounders. BMD was also lower in HCV patients (lumbar spine, 0.935 ± 0.151 vs. 0.991 ± 0.143 g/cm2, p 0.001; femoral neck, 0.764 ± 0.123 vs. 0.818 ± 0.123 g/cm2, p 0.0001; total hip, 0.926 ± 0.148 vs. 0.963 ± 0.132 g/cm2, p 0.02), although, after adjustment, differences kept a clear trend towards statistical significance in women at the lumbar spine and femoral neck. However, in men and at the total hip in women, differences were no longer significant. We find no relationship between these parameters and the severity of the disease. No significant difference was observed in PTH and 25OHD status after adjustment. Finally, serum P1NP, but not CTX, was higher in HCV patients. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that HCV infection is an independent risk factor for osteoporosis, especially among postmenopausal women. Therefore, the appropriateness of screening for osteoporosis in postmenopausal HCV-positive women should be considered.

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.

Assessment of trabecular bone score, an index of bone microarchitecture, in HIV positive and HIV negative persons within the HIV UPBEAT cohort. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0213440. [PMID: 30897099 PMCID: PMC6428393 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0213440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2018] [Accepted: 02/21/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Increased prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) and increased fracture incidence are observed in persons living with HIV (PLWH). The trabecular bone score (TBS) is a novel index of bone microarchitecture which improves fracture prediction independent of BMD. Methods The HIV UPBEAT study is a single centre, prospective cohort study that enrolled subjects with and without HIV from similar sociodemographic backgrounds for annual assessments of bone health. TBS was derived from lumbar spine (LS) dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry images. Univariate and multivariable linear regression was used to assess relationships between baseline TBS, BMD, sociodemographic and clinical factors. Results 463 subjects (201 HIV positive) were included; PLWH were younger and more likely male, of non-African ethnicity and current smokers. HIV was associated with a mean reduction of 0.037 [-0.060, -0.013] (p = 0.002) in TBS. Lower TBS was also associated with male gender, non-African ethnicity, current smoking status and lower LS BMD. HIV remained associated with lower TBS after adjustment for LS BMD, age, gender and ethnicity. However, adjustment for current smoking significantly attenuated the association between HIV and TBS, with further adjustment for higher bone turnover markers largely explaining any residual association. Among the sub-group of PLWH, exposure to protease inhibitors and lower nadir CD4+ T-cell counts were both predictors of lower TBS. Conclusions PLWH have lower TBS independent of LS BMD. However, this is largely explained by higher current smoking rates and higher bone turnover in those with HIV. Exposure to PI, but not tenofovir disproxil fumarate, also contributed to lower TBS in those with HIV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) using clinical risk factors (CRFs) alone underestimates fracture risk in HIV-infected men. Our objective was to determine whether accuracy of FRAX would be improved by considering HIV as a cause of secondary osteoporosis, and further improved with addition of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry parameters in HIV-infected women. DESIGN Subgroup analysis of Women's Interagency HIV Study. METHODS We included 1148 women (900 HIV-infected and 248 uninfected) over age 40 with data to approximate FRAX CRFs and 10-year observational data for incident fragility fractures; 181 (20%) HIV-infected women had dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry data. Accuracy of FRAX was evaluated by the observed/estimated ratios of fracture in four models: CRFs alone; CRFs with HIV included as a cause of secondary osteoporosis; CRFs and femoral neck bone mineral density (FN BMD); and CRFs, FN BMD and trabecular bone score. RESULTS FRAX using CRFs were less accurate in HIV-infected than uninfected women for major osteoporotic (observed/estimated ratio: 5.05 vs. 3.26, P < 0.001) and hip fractures (observed/estimated ratio: 19.78 vs. 7.94, P < 0.001), but improved when HIV was included as a cause of secondary osteoporosis. Among HIV-infected women, FRAX accuracy improved further with addition of FN BMD (observed/estimated ratio: 4.00) for hip fractures, but no further with trabecular bone score. CONCLUSION FRAX using CRFs alone underestimated fracture risk more in older HIV-infected women than otherwise similar uninfected women. Accuracy is improved when including HIV as a cause of secondary osteoporosis for both major osteoporotic and hip fractures, whereas addition of FN BMD only improved accuracy for hip fracture.

Alcohol Consumption and Bone Mineral Density in People with HIV and Substance Use Disorder: A Prospective Cohort Study. Alcohol Clin Exp Res 2018; 42:10.1111/acer.13801. [PMID: 29873812 PMCID: PMC6281811 DOI: 10.1111/acer.13801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2018] [Accepted: 05/22/2018] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND People living with HIV (PLWH) commonly have low bone mineral density (BMD) (low bone mass and osteoporosis) and are at high risk for fractures. Fractures and low BMD are significant causes of morbidity and mortality, increasingly relevant as PLWH age. Alcohol use is common among PLWH and known to affect bone health. The association between alcohol use and changes in BMD among PLWH is not well understood. METHODS We conducted a 3.5-year prospective cohort study of 250 PLWH with substance use disorder or ever injection drug use. Annual alcohol consumption was measured as a mean of grams per day of alcohol, mean number of heavy drinking days per month, mean number of days abstinent per month, and any heavy drinking, using the 30-day Timeline Followback method twice each year. The primary outcome was annual change in BMD measured each year by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry in grams per square centimeter (g/cm2 ) at the femoral neck. Additional dependent variables included annual change in total hip and lumbar spine BMD, >6% annual decrease in BMD at any site, and incident fractures in the past year. Regression models adjusted for relevant covariates. RESULTS The median age of participants was 50 years. The median duration of HIV infection was 16.5 years and the mean time since antiretroviral therapy initiation was 12.3 years. At study entry, 67% of participants met criteria for low BMD (46% low bone mass, 21% osteoporosis). Median follow-up was 24 months. We found no significant associations between any measure of alcohol consumption and changes in BMD (g/cm2 ) at the femoral neck (adjusted β for g/d of alcohol = -0.0032, p = 0.7487), total hip, or lumbar spine. There was no significant association between any measure of alcohol consumption and >6% annual decrease in BMD at any site, or incident fractures. CONCLUSIONS In this sample of PLWH and substance use disorders or ever injection drug use, we detected no association between any of the alcohol measures used in the study and changes in BMD or incident fractures.
