Lee S, Yun JM, Park JH, Kwon H. Association between Chronic Atrophic Gastritis and Bone Mineral Density among Women Older than 40 Years of Age in Korea. Korean J Fam Med 2024; 45:199-206. [PMID: 38356173 PMCID: PMC11273168 DOI: 10.4082/kjfm.22.0139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2022] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic atrophic gastritis causes hypochlorhydria, hypergastrinemia, and malabsorption of nutrients, leading to lower bone mineral density. The few studies that investigated the association between chronic atrophic gastritis and bone mineral density have reported inconsistent findings. As such, the present study assessed the association between chronic atrophic gastritis and bone mineral density among a large sample of women >40 years of age in Korea. METHODS Data from 8,748 women >40 years of age who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy and bone densitometry were analyzed. Chronic atrophic gastritis was diagnosed using esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Bone mineral density of the lumbar vertebrae (L), femur neck, and femur total, measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, were the primary outcome variables. Low bone mineral density, which could be diagnosed as osteoporosis or osteopenia, was defined and analyzed as a secondary outcome. Linear regression was used to calculate adjusted mean values of bone mineral density. The association between low bone mineral density and chronic atrophic gastritis was analyzed using multiple logistic regression. RESULTS The adjusted mean bone mineral density for L1-L4 was 1.063±0.003, femur neck (0.826±0.002), and femur total (0.890±0.002) were significantly lower in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis than others (1.073±0.002, 0.836±0.001, 0.898±0.002, respectively; all P<0.01). Women with chronic atrophic gastritis exhibited an increased likelihood for osteopenia or osteoporosis, even after adjusting for age and other confounding factors (odds ratio, 1.25; 95% confidence interval, 1.13-1.40; P<0.01). However, subgroup analysis revealed statistical significance only in postmenopausal women (odds ratio, 1.27; P<0.001). CONCLUSION Chronic atrophic gastritis was associated with lower bone mineral density and a higher risk for osteopenia or osteoporosis among postmenopausal women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of the study is to analyse the regions, age and sex differences in the incidence of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). METHODS Data were extracted from the global burden of diseases (GBD) 2019 study, including incidence, years lived with disability (YLD), disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) and risk factors. Estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) were calculated to quantify the temporal trends in age standardized rate (ASR) of KOA. Paired t-test, paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test and spearman correlation were performed to analyze the association of sex disparity in KOA and socio-demographic index (SDI). RESULTS There were significant regional differences in the incidence of knee osteoarthritis. In 2019, South Korea had the highest incidence of knee osteoarthritis (474.85,95%UI:413.34-539.64) and Thailand had the highest increase in incidence of knee osteoarthritis (EAPC = 0.56, 95%CI = 0.54-0.58). Notably, higher incidence, YLD and DALYs of knee osteoarthritis were associated with areas with a high socio-demographic index (r = 0.336, p < 0.001; r = 0.324, p < 0.001; r = 0.324, p < 0.001). In terms of age differences, the greatest increase in the incidence of knee osteoarthritis was between the 35-39 and 40-44 age groups. (EAPC = 0.52, 95%CI = 0.40-0.63; 0.47, 95%CI = 0.36-0.58). In addition, there were significant sex differences in the disease burden of knee osteoarthritis (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of knee osteoarthritis is significantly different with regions, age and sex.

Paradoxical association between dyspepsia and autoimmune chronic atrophic gastritis: Insights into mechanisms, pathophysiology, and treatment options. World J Gastroenterol 2023; 29:3733-3747. [PMID: 37398891 PMCID: PMC10311608 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v29.i23.3733] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 04/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Autoimmune gastritis (AIG) is a progressive, chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory disease characterized by the destruction of gastric parietal cells leading to hypo/anacidity and loss of intrinsic factor. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as dyspepsia and early satiety are very common, being second in terms of frequency only to anemia, which is the most typical feature of AIG.
AIM To address both well-established and more innovative information and knowledge about this challenging disorder.
METHODS An extensive bibliographical search was performed in PubMed to identify guidelines and primary literature (retrospective and prospective studies, systematic reviews, case series) published in the last 10 years.
RESULTS A total of 125 records were reviewed and 80 were defined as fulfilling the criteria.
CONCLUSION AIG can cause a range of clinical manifestations, including dyspepsia. The pathophysiology of dyspepsia in AIG is complex and involves changes in acid secretion, gastric motility, hormone signaling, and gut microbiota, among other factors. Managing dyspeptic symptoms of AIG is challenging and there are no specific therapies targeting dyspepsia in AIG. While proton pump inhibitors are commonly used to treat dyspepsia and gastroesophageal reflux disease, they may not be appropriate for AIG. Prokinetic agents, antidepressant drugs, and non-pharmacological treatments may be of help, even if not adequately evidence-based supported. A multidisciplinary approach for the management of dyspepsia in AIG is recommended, and further research is needed to develop and validate more effective therapies for dyspepsia.

Abstract
Chronic gastritis (CG) and osteoporosis (OP) are common and occult diseases in the elderly and the relationship of these two diseases have been increasingly exposed. We aimed to explore the clinical characteristics and shared mechanisms of CG patients combined with OP. In the cross-sectional study, all participants were selected from BEYOND study. The CG patients were included and classified into two groups, namely OP group and non-OP group. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression methods were used to evaluate the influencing factors. Furthermore, CG and OP-related genes were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the GEO2R tool and the Venny platform. Protein-protein interaction information was obtained by inputting the intersection targets into the STRING database. The PPI network was constructed by Cytoscape v3.6.0 software again, and the key genes were screened out according to the degree value. Gene function enrichment of DEGs was performed by Webgestalt online tool. One hundred and thirty CG patients were finally included in this study. Univariate correlation analysis showed that age, gender, BMI and coffee were the potential influencing factors for the comorbidity (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression model found that smoking history, serum PTH and serum β-CTX were positively correlated with OP in CG patients, while serum P1NP and eating fruit had an negative relationship with OP in CG patients. In studies of the shared mechanisms, a total of 76 intersection genes were identified between CG and OP, including CD163, CD14, CCR1, CYBB, CXCL10, SIGLEC1, LILRB2, IGSF6, MS4A6A and CCL8 as the core genes. The biological processes closely related to the occurrence and development of CG and OP mainly involved Ferroptosis, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, Legionellosis and Chemokine signaling pathway. Our study firstly identified the possible associated factors with OP in the patients with CG, and mined the core genes and related pathways that could be used as biomarkers or potential therapeutic targets to reveal the shared mechanisms.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study used systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the association between Helicobacter pylori infection and osteoporosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed, Ovid and Web of Science were searched to include observational studies published in English comparing bone mineral density changes between Helicobacter pylori-positive and -negative participants. The quality of the included literature was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS). R software was used for meta-analysis, and odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to evaluate the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and osteoporosis. RESULTS Twenty-two studies involving 24,176 participants were included in the study. Our meta-analysis showed that Helicobacter pylori infection was significantly associated with the risk of osteoporosis (OR: 1.12, 95%CI: 1.03, 1.22). Participants infected with the CagA-positive Helicobacter pylori strain were more likely to develop osteoporosis (OR = 1.42, 95%CI: 1.09; 1.85). CONCLUSION Infection with Helicobacter pylori, particularly the CagA-positive strain, has been associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis. The bone health of Helicobacter pylori-positive patients deserves more attention.

Abstract
Osteopenic bone disease occurs frequently in patients with chronic liver cirrhosis, which most frequently presents with hepatic osteodystrophy. Thus, the relationship between nutritional status and bone mineral density has been poorly measured in liver cirrhosis. This single-center study consisted of a group of 70 patients diagnosed with liver cirrhosis. The nutritional status was evaluated with the Controlling Nutritional Status index, and volumetric vertebral bone mineral density was measured with quantitative computed tomography. Among the 70 patients included, osteopenia and osteoporosis were found in 71% and 24.3%, respectively. Malnutrition assessed with the Controlling Nutritional Status index was observed in 56 (80%) patients and was more frequent in alcoholic cirrhosis patients than viral cirrhosis patients (87.24% vs. 65.22%). Significant positive correlation with Controlling Nutritional Status score was found with Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (rho = 0.576, p-value < 0.0001), Child−Pugh score (rho = 0.670, p-value < 0.0001), International Normalized Ratio (rho = 0.517, p-value = 0.001), aspartate aminotransferase (rho = 0.293, p-value = 0.045), and bilirubin (rho =0.395, p-value = 0.02). Among the liver cirrhosis patients, 15 had osteoporosis and 49 had osteopenia at the lumbar spine (L1-L4 vertebrae), as determined by bone mass density via quantitative computed tomography. A non-significant relationship between Controlling Nutritional Status index-assessed nutritional status and bone mass density was documented. Regarding osteoporosis, no differences were found between the viral and alcohol types of liver cirrhosis patients (p-value = 0.870). Age, obesity, grade of varices, Child−Pugh score, and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score were associated with osteoporosis in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Abstract
Fragility fracture is a worldwide problem and a main cause of disability and impaired quality of life. It is primarily caused by osteoporosis, characterized by impaired bone quantity and or quality. Proper diagnosis of osteoporosis is essential for prevention of fragility fractures. Osteoporosis can be primary in postmenopausal women because of estrogen deficiency. Secondary forms of osteoporosis are not uncommon in both men and women. Most systemic illnesses and organ dysfunction can lead to osteoporosis. The kidney plays a crucial role in maintaining physiological bone homeostasis by controlling minerals, electrolytes, acid-base, vitamin D and parathyroid function. Chronic kidney disease with its uremic milieu disturbs this balance, leading to renal osteodystrophy. Diabetes mellitus represents the most common secondary cause of osteoporosis. Thyroid and parathyroid disorders can dysregulate the osteoblast/osteoclast functions. Gastrointestinal disorders, malnutrition and malabsorption can result in mineral and vitamin D deficiencies and bone loss. Patients with chronic liver disease have a higher risk of fracture due to hepatic osteodystrophy. Proinflammatory cytokines in infectious, autoimmune, and hematological disorders can stimulate osteoclastogenesis, leading to osteoporosis. Moreover, drug-induced osteoporosis is not uncommon. In this review, we focus on causes, pathogenesis, and management of secondary osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common systemic disease of the skeleton, characterized by compromised bone mass and strength, consequently leading to an increased risk of fragility fractures. In women, the disease mainly occurs due to the menopausal fall in estrogen levels, leading to an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation and, consequently, to bone loss and bone fragility. Moreover, osteoporosis may affect men and may occur as a sequela to different diseases or even to their treatments. Despite their wide prevalence in the general population, the skeletal implications of many gastrointestinal diseases have been poorly investigated and their potential contribution to bone fragility is often underestimated in clinical practice. However, proper functioning of the gastrointestinal system appears essential for the skeleton, allowing correct absorption of calcium, vitamins, or other nutrients relevant to bone, preserving the gastrointestinal barrier function, and maintaining an optimal endocrine-metabolic balance, so that it is very likely that most chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and even gastrointestinal dysbiosis, may have profound implications for bone health. In this manuscript, we provide an updated and critical revision of the role of major gastrointestinal disorders in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and fragility fractures.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection is a common and persistent disorder acting as a major cofactor for the development of upper gastrointestinal diseases and several extraintestinal disorders including osteoporosis. However, no prospective study assessed the effects of HP on bone health and fracture risk. We performed a HP screening in a population-based cohort of 1149 adults followed prospectively for up to 11 years. The presence of HP infection was assessed by serologic testing for serum antibodies to HP and the cytotoxin associated gene-A (CagA). The prevalence of HP infection did not differ among individuals with normal bone mineral density (BMD), osteoporosis, and osteopenia. However, HP infection by CagA-positive strains was significantly increased in osteoporotic (30%) and osteopenic (26%) patients respect to subjects with normal BMD (21%). Moreover, anti-CagA antibody levels were significantly and negatively associated with lumbar and femoral BMD. Consistent with these associations, patients affected by CagA-positive strains had a more than fivefold increased risk to sustain a clinical vertebral fracture (HR 5.27; 95% CI, 2.23-12.63; p < .0001) and a double risk to sustain a nonvertebral incident fracture (HR 2.09; 95% CI, 1.27-2.46; p < .005). Reduced estrogen and ghrelin levels, together with an impaired bone turnover balance after the meal were also observed in carriers of CagA-positive HP infection. HP infection by strains expressing CagA may be considered a risk factor for osteoporosis and fractures. Further studies are required to clarify in more detail the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms of this association. © 2020 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) and osteoporotic fractures (OFs) are common multifactorial and heterogenic disorders of increasing incidence. Helicobacter pylori (H.p.) colonizes the stomach approximately in half of the world's population, causes gastroduodenal diseases and is prevalent in numerous extra-digestive diseases known to be associated with OP/OF. The studies regarding relationship between H.p. infection (HPI) and OP/OFs are inconsistent. The current review summarizes the relevant literature on the potential role of HPI in OP, falls and OFs and highlights the reasons for controversies in the publications. In the first section, after a brief overview of HPI biological features, we analyze the studies evaluating the association of HPI and bone status. The second part includes data on the prevalence of OP/OFs in HPI-induced gastroduodenal diseases (peptic ulcer, chronic/atrophic gastritis and cancer) and the effects of acid-suppressive drugs. In the next section, we discuss the possible contribution of HPI-associated extra-digestive diseases and medications to OP/OF, focusing on conditions affecting both bone homeostasis and predisposing to falls. In the last section, we describe clinical implications of accumulated data on HPI as a co-factor of OP/OF and present a feasible five-step algorithm for OP/OF risk assessment and management in regard to HPI, emphasizing the importance of an integrative (but differentiated) holistic approach. Increased awareness about the consequences of HPI linked to OP/OF can aid early detection and management. Further research on the HPI-OP/OF relationship is needed to close current knowledge gaps and improve clinical management of both OP/OF and HPI-related disorders.

Abstract
Although decreased calcium absorption, decreased bone formation, alcohol
drinking, and smoking have been considered as causes of osteopenia in men, the
cause is unknown in half of the cases. Many reports highlighted the association
between Helicobacter pylori infection and
osteoporosis, mainly in East Asia and Japan. To identify relevant factors of
osteoporosis in men, we examined estrogen and calcium intakes and other
lifestyle factors together with gastric mucosal atrophy caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. This study is a
cross-sectional study design of 268 healthy men who underwent general medical
examinations. Multivariate analysis was performed, with age, body mass index,
smoking habit, drinking habit, exercise habit, estradiol level, calcium intake,
and Helicobacter pylori infection and its
associated gastric mucosal atrophy as the independent variables and the presence
of osteopenia as the dependent variable. The adjusted odds ratio was 0.74 (95%
Confidence Interval [0.29, 1.90], p = .531) and
1.31 (95% Confidence Interval [0.54, 3.21], p =
.552), when Helicobacter pylori infection was
positive without and with gastric mucosal atrophy, respectively. Helicobacter pylori infection and gastric mucosal
atrophy were not significant factors. Low body mass index, smoking habit, and
low calcium intake were significantly associated with decreased bone density. In
conclusion, Helicobacter pylori infection was not
a significant risk, whereas low body mass index, current smoking, and lower
calcium intake had a significant influence on the development of osteopenia in
men.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is one of the most prevalent infection worldwide. It affects individuals of different age groups. Elderly people tend to resist eradication treatment and worsening of infection can lead to several gastric and non-gastric pathologies. Aging-associated cellular and molecular alteration can increase the risk of other pathologies such as osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, respiratory and renal dysfunction, and cancer in geriatric patients, more than other age groups. This review article highlights some of the most common old age diseases and the role of H. pylori infection as a risk factor to worsen the conditions, presented by the molecular evidences of these associations. These studies can help clinicians to understand the underlying pathogenesis of the disease and identify high-risk patients, aiding clearer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Objectives To investigate whether Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection increases the risk of colorectal adenomatous polyp (CAP) in the context of age and gender. Methods A total of 563 study subjects (male/female, 368/195) from Beijing, China, with higher nursing level who underwent colonoscopy were retrospectively collected. H. pylori and CAP were detected by carbon-13 urea breath test and colorectal colonoscopy. The correlations between the number, size, distribution, and pathological grade of CAP and H. pylori infection were analyzed. The population was further stratified by age and gender in order to examine the risk of H. pylori and CAP in the context of these variables. The influence of H. pylori on the risk of CAP was assessed by logistic regression model. Results 315 participants were diagnosed with CAP, and 207 participants were classified as healthy controls. The prevalence of H. pylori in the CAP group was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group (119/315, 37.8% versus 44/207, 21.3%) (p < 0.001). The proportion of H. pylori positive plus CAP in participants <50 years old was significantly higher than that in participants >50 years old (87/250; 34.8% versus 32/65; 49.2%) (p < 0.001). The proportion of H. pylori positive plus CAP in participants <50 years old was significantly higher than that in participants >50 years old (87/250; 34.8% versus 32/65; 49.2%) (p < 0.001). The proportion of H. pylori positive plus CAP in participants <50 years old was significantly higher than that in participants >50 years old (87/250; 34.8% versus 32/65; 49.2%) (p < 0.001). The proportion of H. pylori positive plus CAP in participants <50 years old was significantly higher than that in participants >50 years old (87/250; 34.8% versus 32/65; 49.2%) ( Conclusions H. pylori is a major risk factor for CAP. Further studies are needed to assess the effects of H. pylori treatment or persistent infection on the occurrence or recurrence of CAP.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We performed a nationwide, population-based cohort study to investigate the risk of osteoporosis in patients with peptic ulcer disease in South Korea and concluded that peptic ulcer disease is associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis. PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the association between peptic ulcer disease (PUD) and the occurrence of osteoporosis using a national sample cohort from South Korea. METHODS Using the national cohort study from the Korean National Health Insurance Service, we extracted data for patients with PUD (n = 50,002) and for 1:1 matched control participants (n = 50,002); we then analyzed the occurrence of osteoporosis from 2002 to 2013. The patients were matched according to age, sex, income, region of residence, and past medical history. A stratified Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the hazard ratios (HRs) and the 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analyses were performed based on age and sex. RESULTS The adjusted HR for osteoporosis was 1.36 (95% CI = 1.33-1.40, P < 0.001) in the PUD group. In the subgroup analysis based on age and sex, the respective adjusted HRs of PUD for osteoporosis were 1.33 (95% CI = 1.21-1.47) in the < 65-year-old group of men and 1.42 (95% CI = 1.30-1.56) in the ≥ 65-year-old group of men (each P < 0.001). The respective adjusted HRs of PUD for osteoporosis were 1.34 (95% CI = 1.29-1.39) in the < 65-year-old group of women and 1.38 (95% CI = 1.33-1.47) in the ≥ 65-year-old group of women (each P < 0.001). CONCLUSION In the current nationwide cohort study, we found that PUD is associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis regardless of sex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic atrophic autoimmune gastritis (CAAG) leads to vitamin B12 deficiency, but other micronutrient deficiencies are largely understudied. AIMS To investigate the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies in CAAG patients and their potential relationship with the grading of gastric atrophy or entero-chromaffin-like cells hyperplasia or body mass index (BMI). METHODS From 2005 to 2016 a number of CAAG patients underwent regular follow-up with annual blood testing and upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy every years. RESULTS Out of the 122 CAAG patients checked (100 F; median age 65 years), 76 presented nutritional deficiencies, single in 24 and multiple in 52 cases: a deficiency of B12 and iron showed in 42 patients, 25-OH vitamin D lacked in 76 and folic acid in 6 cases. 25-OH vitamin D levels directly correlated with B12 levels and were significantly lower in patients with macronodular than in those with linear or micronodular hyperplasia. No significant correlation was observed between B12, folic acid or ferritin levels and BMI, blood gastrin levels, the grading of gastric atrophy or ECL cells hyperplasia. CONCLUSIONS 25-OH vitamin D deficiency was the main one in CAAG patients: its correlation with B12 deficiency may indicate underlying shared pathogenic mechanisms, although further studies are needed to confirm this hypothesis.

Abstract
This study assessed the effects of atrophic gastritis on bone mineral density (BMD) in premenopausal women in their 40s. We performed a retrospective analysis of medical records of premenopausal women in their 40s who underwent a health checkup, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and bone densitometry at least thrice, 24 months apart, between January 2006 and December 2016. Based on first-visit esophagogastroduodenoscopy results, patients were divided into atrophic and non-atrophic gastritis groups; BMD changes over time were analyzed. Patients were further divided into subgroups depending on atrophic gastritis persistence; differences and absolute changes in BMD were assessed. BMD in both groups exhibited group-by-time interaction (p < 0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors, the mean BMD was significantly different at the 24-month and the 48-month follow-up (p = 0.049, p < 0.001, respectively). Subgroup analysis after adjusting for confounding factors showed a mean BMD of 1.128 and 1.104 at baseline, 1.110 and 1.100 at the 24-month follow-up, and 1.106 and 1.065 at the 48-month follow-up for persistent atrophic and non-atrophic gastritis groups, respectively. The difference between mean BMD was not significant at baseline (p = 0.171), but was significant at the 24-month and 48-month follow-ups (p = 0.044 and p < 0.001, respectively). Absolute changes in BMD over 48 months were - 0.010 and - 0.051 for the two subgroups, which was significantly different (p < 0.001). Atrophic gastritis reduces BMD in premenopausal women in their 40s. Patients with atrophic gastritis exhibited lower BMD than patients without, and patients with persistent atrophic gastritis exhibited a greater decrease in BMD.

Abstract
Considering an increase in the life expectancy leading to a rise in the elderly population, it is important to recognize the changes that occur along the process of aging. Gastrointestinal (GI) changes in the elderly are common, and despite some GI disorders being more prevalent in the elderly, there is no GI disease that is limited to this age group. While some changes associated with aging GI system are physiologic, others are pathological and particularly more prevalent among those above age 65 years. This article reviews the most important GI disorders in the elderly that clinicians encounter on a daily basis. We highlight age-related changes of the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small and large bowels, and the clinical implications of these changes. We review epidemiology and pathophysiology of common diseases, especially as they relate to clinical manifestation in elderly. Details regarding management of specific disease are discussed in detail if they significantly differ from the management for younger groups or if they are associated with significant challenges due to side effects or polypharmacy. Cancers of GI tract are not included in the scope of this article.

Abstract
Background Chronic autoimmune atrophic gastritis (CAAG) is an autoimmune disease characterized by hypo/achlorhydria. A role of CAAG in the pathogenesis of nutritional deficiencies has been reported, therefore we hypothesized a possible association between CAAG and 25-OH-Vitamin D [25(OH)D] deficiency. Aim of the present study is to evaluate the prevalence of 25(OH)D deficiency in CAAG patients. Methods: 87 CAAG patients (71 females; mean age 63.5 ± 12.8 years) followed at our Centre from January 2012 to July 2015 were consecutively evaluated. 25(OH)D, vitamin B12, parathormone, and calcium were measured in all the CAAG patients. The results were compared with a control group of 1232 healthy subjects. Results In the CAAG group the mean 25(OH)D levels were significantly lower than in the control group (18.8 vs. 27.0 ng/ml, p < 0.0001). 25(OH)D levels < 20 ng/ml was observed in 57 patients, while levels < 12.5 ng/ml in 27 patients. A significant correlation between vitamin B12 values at diagnosis and 25(OH)D levels was observed (rs = 0.25, p = 0.01). Interestingly, the CAAG patients with moderate/severe gastric atrophy had lower 25(OH)D values as compared to those with mild atrophy (11.8 vs. 20 ng/ml; p = 0.0047). Moreover, the 25(OH)D levels were significantly lower in CAAG patients with gastric carcinoid as compared to those without gastric carcinoid (11.8 vs. 19.8 ng/ml; p = 0,0041). Conclusion Data from the present study showed a significant reduction of 25(OH)D levels in CAAG patients and a possible impairment of vitamin D absorption in CAAG may be postulated. Any implication to the genesis of gastric carcinoids remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary cause of osteoporosis in women is increased bone resorption and decreased bone density associated with reduced estrogen secretion. Several studies have demonstrated a relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and osteoporosis regardless of estrogen levels. This study examined the relationship between H. pylori infection and osteopenia together with estrogen levels, calcium intake, and several lifestyle factors. METHODS This study included 473 healthy women who underwent a general health examination. Multivariate analysis was performed, with age, body mass index (BMI), smoking habit, drinking habit, exercise habit, schooling duration, estradiol levels, birth history, calcium intake, schooling duration, smoking habit, drinking habit, exercise habit, and H. pylori infection as independent variables and the presence of osteopenia as a dependent variable. RESULTS The adjusted OR for osteopenia with H. pylori infection was 0.95 (95% CI 0.55-1.63, p = 0.84). In contrast, osteopenia was significantly associated with age, low BMI, lesser schooling period, low estradiol levels, and low calcium intake. CONCLUSIONS H. pylori infection was not a significant risk for osteopenia by the multivariate analysis, which included the primary confounding factors. Significant factors, such as estradiol and calcium intake, should be assessed together to study the association of H. pylori infection and osteopenia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection can induce individual inflammatory and immune reactions which associated with extra-digestive disorders. Our aim is to investigate the association between H. pylori infection and bone mineral density. METHODS This retrospective cross-sectional study was performed by using the data from the health examination database in a medical center of southern Taiwan in 2013. We investigated the relationship between sex, age, body mass index (BMI), waist circumstance, lipid profile, H. pylori infection, the findings of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and bone mineral density (BMD). Because of nonrandomized assignment and strong confounding effect of age on BMD, the 1:1 propensity score match was applied for age adjustment. The simple and multiple stepwise logistic regression analysis were performed to assess the risk factors of decreased BMD in these well-balanced pairs of participants. RESULTS Of the 867 subjects in final analysis with the mean age of 55.9 ± 11.3 years, 381 (43.9%) subjects had H. pylori infection, and 556 (64.1%) subjects had decreased BMD. In decreased BMD group, the portion of woman was higher than a normal BMD group (37.2% versus 29.6%, P = 0.023), the age was significantly older (59.4 ± 9.8 versus 49.8 ± 11.3, p < 0.001) and BMI was significantly lower (24.7 ± 3.5 versus 25.4 ± 3.7, p = 0.006) than the normal BMD group. The prevalence of H. pylori infection was 39.9% and 46.2% in the normal BMD group and the decreased BMD group respectively (P = 0.071). The multivariate analysis which was used for these possible risk factors showed that only advanced age (OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.08-1.11, P < 0.001), and low BMI (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.87-0.95, P < 0.001) were independently significantly associated with decreased BMD in this nonrandomized study. In the propensity score-matched participants, the multiple stepwise logistic regression analysis revealed H. pylori infection (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.12-2.35, P = 0.011) and low BMI (OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.87-0.97, P = 0.001) were independently significantly associated with decreased BMD. CONCLUSIONS H. pylori infection and low BMI were independently significantly associated with decreased BMD in selected propensity score-matched populations after age adjustment.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have suggested a link between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and metabolic abnormality. This study aimed at investigating the correlation between H. pylori infection and metabolic abnormality in a general population. Methods All enrolled participants underwent a carbon-13 urea breath test (13C-UBT). For each individual, the following data were collected: age, gender, alanine transaminase (ALT), total protein, albumin, cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, fasting plasma glucose, postprandial blood sugar, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and bone mineral density (BMD). Results The study included 1867 (393 females and 1474 males, aged 54.0 ± 9.6 years) people that took a physical examination. There was no significant difference in gender and age between the study participants with and without H. pylori infection. The statistical data are as follows: albumin: P = 0.045, uric acid: P = 0.025, fasting glucose: P = 0.043, and postprandial blood glucose: P = 0.035. In terms of the patients with NAFLD, there were significant differences in ALT and HDL-C between the study participants with and without H. pylori infection. TG (P = 0.048), HDL-C (P = 0.011), and fasting blood glucose (P = 0.018) were significantly different in both groups among individuals who got osteopenia. Conclusion H. pylori infection may be an important factor affecting metabolic abnormality and osteoporosis.

Abstract
Chronic atrophic autoimmune gastritis (CAAG) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease characterized by an immune response, which is directed towards the parietal cells and intrinsic factor of the gastric body and fundus and leads to hypochlorhydria, hypergastrinemia and inadequate production of the intrinsic factor. As a result, the stomach’s secretion of essential substances, such as hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor, is reduced, leading to digestive impairments. The most common is vitamin B12 deficiency, which results in a megaloblastic anemia and iron malabsorption, leading to iron deficiency anemia. However, in the last years the deficiency of several other vitamins and micronutrients, such as vitamin C, vitamin D, folic acid and calcium, has been increasingly described in patients with CAAG. In addition the occurrence of multiple vitamin deficiencies may lead to severe hematological, neurological and skeletal manifestations in CAAG patients and highlights the importance of an integrated evaluation of these patients. Nevertheless, the nutritional deficiencies in CAAG are largely understudied. We have investigated the frequency and associated features of nutritional deficiencies in CAAG in order to focus on any deficit that may be clinically significant, but relatively easy to correct. This descriptive review updates and summarizes the literature on different nutrient deficiencies in CAAG in order to optimize the treatment and the follow-up of patients affected with CAAG.

Analysis of Patients with Helicobacter pylori Infection and the Subsequent Risk of Developing Osteoporosis after Eradication Therapy: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study.

Abstract
Purpose Previous studies have reported conflicting results on the association between Helicobacter pylori infection and osteoporosis. A few studies have discussed the influence of H. pylori eradication therapy on bone mineral density. Methods We assessed the prevalence of osteoporosis among the H. pylori-infected population in Taiwan and the influence of early and late H. pylori eradication therapy on bone mineral density. Results Using data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database, we identified 5,447 patients who received H. pylori eradication therapy from 2000 to 2010 and 21,788 controls, frequency-matched according to age, sex, and year of receiving H. pylori eradication therapy. Those who received H. pylori eradication therapy were divided into two groups based on the time interval between the diagnosis of a peptic ulcer and commencement of eradication therapy. The risk of developing osteoporosis was higher in the early H. pylori treatment cohort (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.52, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.23–1.89) and late H. pylori treatment cohort (HR = 1.69, 95% CI = 1.39–2.05), compared with the risk in the control cohort. When followed for less than 5 years, both the early and late cohorts had a higher risk of developing osteoporosis (HR = 1.69, 95% CI = 1.32–2.16 and HR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.38–2.14). However, when the follow-up period was over 5 years, only the late eradication group exhibited a higher incidence of osteoporosis (HR = 1.62, 95% CI = 1.06–2.47). Conclusion The development of osteoporosis is complex and multi-factorial. Via this population-based cohort study and adjustment of possible confounding variables, we found H. pylori infection may be associated with an increased risk of developing osteoporosis in Taiwan. Early eradication could reduce the influence of H. pylori infection on osteoporosis when the follow-up period is greater than 5 years. Further prospective studies are necessary to discover the connection of H. pylori and osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), destruction of gastric parietal cells causes anacidity and hypergastrinemia. Use of proton pump inhibitors, which also induces gastric anacidity, is associated with increased fracture rates. Our objectives were to study possible differences in bone mineral density (BMD) and bone quality in patients with CAG compared to controls. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study on 17 CAG patients aged 54 ± 13 years and 41 sex- and age-matched controls. Lumbar and femoral BMD and bone quality assessed by lumbar trabecular bone score (TBS) were measured by DXA, and bone material strength (BMS) by microindentation of the tibia. Serum bone markers (CTX, P1NP, sclerostin, osteocalcin, OPG, RANKL) were analyzed. RESULTS We found lower lumbar BMD Z-score (-0.324 ± 1.096 versus 0.456 ± 1.262, p = 0.030), as well as a higher frequency of osteoporosis at the lumbar spine (p = 0.046) and osteopenia at total hip (p = 0.019) in patients compared to controls. In a post hoc subgroup analysis, we observed that the differences were confined to the male patients. TBS also tended to be lower in male patients (p = 0.059), while BMS did not differ between the groups. Osteocalcin, sclerostin, OPG, and OPG/RANKL ratio were lower in patients compared to controls, while CTX and P1NP did not differ between the groups. CONCLUSIONS We observed lower lumbar BMD, increased frequency of osteopenia and osteoporosis in male, but not female patients with CAG. Bone markers suggest a decrease in bone formation and increased bone resorption in CAG patients compared to controls.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze the association between the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and osteoporosis in German postmenopausal women. METHODS This study included 3092 women with osteoporosis and 3092 women without osteoporosis. Cases and controls were matched on the basis of age, health insurance, index year, and physician. The main outcome of the study was the risk of osteoporosis dependent on predefined risk factors. Gastrointestinal disorders potentially associated with osteoporosis were determined. The presence of PPIs including the duration of therapy was also assessed. Multivariate logistic regression models were fitted with osteoporosis as a dependent variable. RESULTS The mean age was 72.3 years; 5.6% of both osteoporosis patients and controls had private health insurance coverage. Gastrointestinal disorders occurred significantly more frequently in osteoporosis patients than in controls. The use of PPI drugs was also significantly more common in osteoporosis patients than in matched controls. Osteoporosis development was found to be associated with disorders of the esophagus (odds ratio (OR) 1.19, p = 0.013) and gastritis/duodenitis (OR 1.14; p = 0.045). Interestingly, the use of PPIs also led to an increase in the risk of developing osteoporosis (OR 1.62; p < 0.001). Finally, the odds of being diagnosed with osteoporosis increased with the duration of PPI therapy from 1.58 for 1 year of therapy or less to 1.72 for at least 5 years of treatment. CONCLUSIONS The use of PPIs was a risk factor for osteoporosis and this risk increased with therapy duration in German women. Esophagus disorders and gastritis/duodenitis also increased the risk of developing this chronic condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few reports about the influence of Helicobacter pylori infection and/or atrophic gastritis on bone conditions in Japan. AIMS To assess whether the combination of serologically determined Helicobacter pylori infection and atrophic gastritis is available as a biomarker for bone conditions. METHODS We studied 230 men in their 50s and 60s. Helicobacter pylori infection was determined using serum antibody to this bacterium. Atrophic gastritis was diagnosed on the basis of the serum pepsinogen I and II criteria. The characteristics of the participants' bone were measured at the radius using an ultrasonic bone densitometry system. The risks of low trabecular bone density, low elastic modulus of trabecular bone, and low cortical thickness among subjects who were positive for Helicobacter pylori infection and/or atrophic gastritis relative to those who were not were calculated. RESULTS Helicobacter pylori infection significantly increased the risk of low trabecular bone density (odds ratio 1.83, 95 % confidence interval 1.04-3.21, P = 0.03). Atrophic gastritis significantly increased the risk of low trabecular bone density (2.22, 1.17-4.22, 0.01). Compared with anti-Helicobacter pylori antibody (-) and atrophic gastritis (-) subjects, anti-Helicobacter pylori antibody (+) and atrophic gastritis (+) subjects were a significant high-risk group for low trabecular bone density (2.65, 1.27-5.55, 0.01). CONCLUSIONS A serological diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection and atrophic gastritis, which is utilized for risk assessment of gastric cancer, was suggested to be useful for risk assessment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autoimmune gastritis may present as pernicious anaemia arising from vitamin B12 malabsorption, but also with iron deficiency anaemia due to iron malabsorption. These different clinical presentations might have a genetic basis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with vitamin B12 levels have not been investigated in autoimmune gastritis. AIMS To determine the frequency of single nucleotide polymorphisms related to vitamin B12 levels in autoimmune gastritis patients, with or without pernicious anaemia, compared to healthy controls. METHODS 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with vitamin B12 levels were selected from literature. 83 autoimmune gastritis patients (43 with and 40 without pernicious anaemia) and 173 controls were enrolled. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes. Genotyping was performed using Sequenom MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry iPLEX platform. RESULTS TCN2 (rs9606756) GG genotype, related with lower vitamin B12 levels, was found in 3 (3.6%) autoimmune gastritis patients (2 with pernicious anaemia), but in none of controls (p = 0.02). FUT6 (rs3760776) AA genotype was present in four (4.8%) autoimmune gastritis patients (all pernicious anaemia) and three (1.7%) controls (p = 0.007). CONCLUSION A genetic variant of TCN2 (rs9606756) related to lower vitamin B12 levels was more frequent in pernicious anaemia patients compared to controls, showing the plausibility of genetic factors determining the possible clinical manifestation of autoimmune gastritis.

Abstract
Background A number of diseases and drugs may influence bone mineral density; however, there are few reports concerning the relationship between lifestyle-related diseases and osteoporosis in Japan as determined by multivariate analysis. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors for osteoporosis and whether infection by or eradication of Helicobacter pylori is associated with osteoporosis. Methods Between February 2008 and November 2014, using a cross-sectional study design, we investigated patient profile (age, sex, BMI, alcohol, smoking), H. pylori infection status, comorbidities, internal medicine therapeutic agents (calcium channel blocker, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, proton pump inhibitor), serum parameters (Hb, calcium, γGTP), bone turn over markers (bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) and collagen type I cross-linked N telopeptide (NTX), findings on dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, and Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD score in consecutive outpatients aged ≥50 years at our hospital. We divided the subjects into an osteoporosis group and a non-osteoporosis group and investigated risk factors for osteoporosis between the two groups by bivariate and multivariate analyses. Results Of the 255 eligible study subjects, 43 (16.9%) had osteoporosis. Bivariate analysis showed that advanced age, female sex, lower body mass index, lower cumulative alcohol intake, lower Brinkman index, H. pylori positivity, lower hemoglobin, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, lower prevalence of hiatal hernia, and endoscopic gastric mucosal atrophy were related to osteoporosis. Multivariate analysis showed that advanced age (odds ratio [OR] 1.13, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07–1.19, P<0.001), female sex (OR 6.27, 95% CI 2.26–17.39, P<0.001), low BMI (OR 0.82, 95% CI 0.72–0.94, P=0.005), H. pylori positivity (OR 3.00, 95% CI 1.31–6.88, P=0.009), and BAP (OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.01–1.14, P=0.035) were related to osteoporosis. Conclusion Advanced age, low BMI, BAP, and H. pylori positivity were risk factors for osteoporosis; however, the success of H. pylori eradication was not a risk factor for osteoporosis in Japan.
