de Castro JAC, de Lima TR, Silva DAS. Health-Related Physical Fitness Evaluation in HIV-Diagnosed Children and Adolescents: A Scoping Review. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2024; 21:541. [PMID: 38791753 PMCID: PMC11121308 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph21050541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Health-related physical fitness has been widely used to investigate the adverse effects of HIV infection/ART in children and adolescents. However, methods/protocols and cut-points applied for investigating health-related physical fitness are not clear. The aim of this scoping review was to map the literature to identify gaps in knowledge regarding the methods/protocols and cut-points. METHODS A scoping review, following the Joana Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines, was conducted through ten major databases. Search followed the PCC strategy to construct block of terms related to population (children and adolescents), concept (health-related physical fitness components) and context (HIV infection). RESULTS The search resulted in 7545 studies. After duplicate removal, titles and abstracts reading and full text assessment, 246 studies were included in the scoping review. Body composition was the most investigated component (n = 244), followed by muscular strength/endurance (n = 23), cardiorespiratory fitness (n = 15) and flexibility (n = 4). The World Health Organization growth curves, and nationals' surveys were the most reference values applied to classify body composition (n = 149), followed by internal cut-points (n = 30) and cut-points developed through small populations (n = 16). Cardiorespiratory fitness was classified through cut-points from three different assessment batteries, as well as cut-points developed through studies with small populations, muscular strength/endurance and flexibility were classified through the same cut-points from five different assessment batteries. CONCLUSIONS The research on muscular strength/endurance, cardiorespiratory fitness and flexibility has been scarcely explored. The lack of studies that investigated method usability as well as reference values was evidenced.

Abstract
AIM We aimed to improve bone health management of children with cerebral palsy (CP) by reviewing studies investigating bisphosphonate therapy in children with CP and other types of secondary osteoporosis. METHODS We included trials on bisphosphonate treatment reporting any direct bone measurement or fracture outcome. All studies of patients with CP were included. We also included all controlled trials of children with secondary bone fragility as well as observational studies with ≥20 participants or at least 3 years of follow-up. Studies were assessed according to PRISMA guidelines using the RoB2-tool and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS We reviewed 1104 studies and found 37 eligible. Some studies were sufficiently homogeneous to include in a meta-analysis, and we found a 1-year effect on lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) Z-score of +0.65 after oral and + 1.21 after intravenous bisphosphonates in children with secondary osteoporosis. Further, data on adverse events and post-treatment follow-up were reviewed. Limitations were heterogeneity and small size of the included studies. CONCLUSION Meta-analysis consistently showed significant BMD increases with bisphosphonates in children with secondary osteoporosis. Direct evidence of the effect of bisphosphonates on reducing fractures is lacking. We found no reports of long-term adverse events yet longer studies are needed.

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.

Ther Adv Chronic Dis 2022; 13:20406223221129163. [PMID: 36225670 PMCID: PMC9549182 DOI: 10.1177/20406223221129163] [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: 02/23/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Bisphosphonates are a type of medication that prevents the loss of bone
density. Secondary childhood osteoporosis reduces bone strength and results
in an increased risk of fragility fracture. This meta-analysis aims to
explore the efficacy and safety of bisphosphonates on secondary childhood
osteoporosis. Methods: We performed a systematic search of PubMed, Cochrane library, and Web of
Science databases up to 31 July 2022 to screen for random clinical trials
(RCTs) on bisphosphonate treatment for childhood secondary osteoporosis.
Data from selected studies, mainly changes in lumbar spine (LS) bone mineral
density (BMD), changes in LS BMD Z-scores, fracture events,
and adverse events (AEs), were extracted and analyzed. Results: Nine RCTs (n = 429 in total) were included in our
meta-analysis. The meta-analysis indicated that bisphosphonates improved the
changes in LS BMD [mean difference (MD) = 0.04, 95% confidence intervals
(CIs) = 0.01–0.07, p < 0.01] and LS BMD
Z-scores [MD = 0.52, 95% CI = 0.23–0.81,
p < 0.01]. Use of bisphosphonates did not increase
the risk of AEs [odds ratio (OR) = 1.61, 95% CI = 0.87–2.99,
p = 0.13]. Subgroup analysis showed that routes of
administration, but not causes of secondary osteoporosis, might influence
the efficacy of bisphosphonates. IV bisphosphonates close to significantly
improved the incidence of fracture (OR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.11–1.08,
p = 0.07). Conclusions: The use of bisphosphonates improves LS BMD without increasing AE rates, which
supports the clinical use of bisphosphonates in secondary childhood
osteoporosis. Further large RCTs are still warranted, especially for their
long-term effects on fracture rates.

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.

Effect of HIV infection on growth and bone density in peripubertal children in the era of antiretroviral therapy: a cross-sectional study in Zimbabwe. THE LANCET CHILD & ADOLESCENT HEALTH 2021; 5:569-581. [PMID: 34139202 PMCID: PMC8295041 DOI: 10.1016/s2352-4642(21)00133-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2021] [Revised: 04/16/2021] [Accepted: 04/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Background Faltered linear growth and pubertal delay, which are both common in children with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa, might affect adolescent bone accrual and future fragility fracture risk. We investigated the association of HIV with bone density adjusted for skeletal size in peripubertal children in Zimbabwe. Methods We did a cross-sectional study of baseline data from the IMVASK cohort, which enrolled children aged 8–16 years with HIV who had been taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) for at least 2 years, and children of the same age without HIV. Children with HIV were recruited from public sector HIV clinics at Parirenyatwa General Hospital and Harare Central Hospital (Harare, Zimbabwe), and children without HIV were recruited from six schools in the same suburbs that the hospitals serve. Sociodemographic, clinical, and anthropometric data were collected. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to measure the bone outcomes of total-body less-head bone mineral content for lean mass adjusted for height (TBLH-BMCLBM), and lumbar spine bone mineral apparent density (LS-BMAD), and we assessed the prevalence of low TBLH-BMCLBM and low LS-BMAD (defined by Z-scores of less than −2·0). Size adjustment techniques were used to overcome the size dependence of DXA measurement. We used linear regression models, with multiple imputation for missing data, to assess relationships between risk factors and TBLH-BMCLBM and LS-BMAD Z-scores in children with and without HIV. Findings We recruited 303 children with HIV (mean age 12·4 years [SD 2·5]; 151 [50%] girls) and 306 children without HIV (mean age 12·5 years [SD 2·5]; 155 [51%] girls). In children with HIV, median age of HIV diagnosis was 3·0 years (IQR 1·2–5·8), and median ART duration was 8·1 years (6·2–9·5); for 102 (34%) children, ART included tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). Children with HIV had a higher prevalence of low TBLH-BMCLBM Z-score than children without HIV (29 [10%] of 279 children with available data vs 18 [6%] of 292 with available data; p=0·066) and a higher prevalence of low LS-BMAD Z-score (40 [14%] of 279 vs 17 [6%] of 293 with available data; p=0·0007). HIV and male sex were associated with earlier pubertal (Tanner) stage. The negative associations between HIV and Z-scores for TBLH-BMCLBM and LS-BMAD were more pronounced with pubertal maturation, particularly in girls. Among children with HIV, TDF exposure and orphanhood were associated with lower TBLH-BMCLBM Z-score in confounder-adjusted analysis. Current TDF use (vs non-TDF-based ART) was associated with a reduction in TBLH-BMCLBM Z-score of 0·41 (95% CI 0·08–0·74; p=0·015) and in LS-BMAD Z-score of 0·31 (0·08–0·69; p=0·12). Interpretation Despite ART, HIV is associated with substantial skeletal deficits towards the end of puberty. The extent of bone deficits associated with TDF and its widespread use in children in sub-Saharan Africa are a concern for future adult fracture risk. Funding Wellcome Trust.
