[PMID: 36520377 DOI: 10.1007/s12072-022-10461-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2022] [Accepted: 11/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Chronic liver diseases are associated with increased bone fracture risk, mostly in end-stage disease and cirrhosis; besides, data in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are limited. Aim of this study was to investigate bone mineralization and microstructure in obese individuals with NAFLD in relation to the estimated liver fibrosis. METHODS For this cross-sectional investigation, we analyzed data from 1872 obese individuals (44.6 ± 14.1 years, M/F: 389/1483; BMI: 38.3 ± 5.3 kg/m2) referring to the Endocrinology outpatient clinics of Sapienza University, Rome, Italy. Participants underwent clinical work-up, Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry for assessing bone mineral density (BMD) and microarchitecture (trabecular bone score, TBS). Liver fibrosis was estimated by Fibrosis Score 4 (FIB-4). Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25(OH) vitamin D, osteocalcin and IGF-1 levels were measured. RESULTS Obese individuals with osteopenia/osteoporosis had greater FIB-4 than those with normal BMD (p < 0.001). FIB-4 progressively increased in presence of degraded bone microarchitecture (p < 0.001) and negatively correlated with the serum osteocalcin (p < 0.001) and IGF-1 (p < 0.001), which were both reduced in presence of osteopenia/osteoporosis. FIB-4 predicted IGF-1 reduction in multivariable regression models adjusted for confounders (β: - 0.18, p < 0.001). Higher FIB-4 predicted bone fragility with OR 3.8 (95%C.I:1.5-9.3); this association persisted significant after adjustment for sex, age, BMI, diabetes, smoking status and PTH at the multivariable logistic regression analysis (OR 1.91 (95%C.I:1.15-3.17), p < 0.01), with AUROC = 0.842 (95%C.I:0.795-0.890; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our data indicate the presence of a tight relation between NAFLD-related liver fibrosis, lower bone mineral density and degraded microarchitecture in obese individuals, suggesting potential common pathways underlying liver and bone involvement in obesity and insulin resistance-associated disorders.

Abstract
Recently, the increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus has made it a major chronic illness which poses a substantial threat to human health. The prevalence of osteoporosis among patients with diabetes mellitus has grown considerably. Diabetic bone disease is a secondary osteoporosis induced by diabetes mellitus. Patients with diabetic bone disease exhibit variable degrees of bone loss, low bone mineral density, bone microarchitecture degradation, and increased bone fragility with continued diabetes mellitus, increasing their risk of fracture and impairing their ability to heal after fractures. At present, there is extensive research interest in diabetic bone disease and many significant outcomes have been reported. However, there are no comprehensive review is reported. This review elaborates on diabetic bone disease in the aspects of characteristics, pathogenesis, and treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Weight loss is recommended for improving glycemic control and reducing cardiovascular risk factors in persons with diabetes. However, both diabetes and weight loss have been associated with detrimental skeletal health. This review aims to summarize recent study findings on the effects of lifestyle interventions for weight loss on skeletal health among persons with type 2 diabetes (T2D). RECENT FINDINGS A few large-scale observational studies have demonstrated an increased fragility fracture risk associated with weight loss among persons with T2D. Randomized control trials in persons with T2D also have shown that intentional lifestyle interventions for weight loss are associated with a greater decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) and an increase in the risk of fracture. The biological mechanisms underlying the compromised bone health during lifestyle interventions for weight loss are complex and not yet conclusive. However, there is evidence to suggest that bone loss and increased fracture risk during intentional weight loss may be mitigated by some intervention approaches, such as high protein intake, calcium supplementation, and resistance and balance training. There is still a lack of studies investigating the effects of different interventions for weight loss on skeletal health among persons with T2D. However, certain types of diet and physical activity intervention combined with bone monitoring and fracture risk prediction may help achieve weight loss goals and maintain skeletal health among persons with T2D during intentional weight loss.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), is a chronic metabolic disease, characterized by the presence of hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. The key treatment strategies for T2DM include modification of lifestyle, medications, and continuous glucose monitoring. DM patients often have DM-associated morbidities and comorbidities; however, disorders of musculoskeletal system are often neglected, compared to other major systems in DM patients. Based on sharing similar pathophysiology of DM and osteoporosis, it is supposed that the use of antidiabetic agents (ADAs) may not only provide the lowering glucose level effect and the maintenance of the sugar homeostasis to directly delay the tissue damage secondary to hyperglycemia but also offer the benefits, such as the prevention of developing osteoporosis and fractures. Based on the current review, evidence shows the positive correlation between DM and osteoporosis or fracture, but the effectiveness of using ADA in the prevention of osteoporosis and subsequent reduction of fracture seems to be inconclusive. Although the benefits of ADA on bone health are uncertain, the potential value of "To do one and to get more" therapeutic strategy should be always persuaded. At least, one of the key treatment strategies as an establishment of healthy lifestyle may work, because it improves the status of insulin resistance and subsequently helps DM control, prevents the DM-related micro- and macrovascular injury, and possibly strengthens the general performance of musculoskeletal system. With stronger musculoskeletal system support, the risk of "fall" may be decreased, because it is associated with fracture. Although the ADA available in the market does not satisfy the policy of "To do one and to get more" yet, we are looking forward to seeing the continuously advanced technology of drug development on diabetic control, and hope to see their extra-sugar-lowering effects.

Fazullina ON, Korbut AI, Klimontov VV. Factors associated with trabecular bone score in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes and normal bone mineral density. World J Diabetes 2022; 13:553-565. [PMID: 36051426 PMCID: PMC9329840 DOI: 10.4239/wjd.v13.i7.553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Revised: 05/02/2022] [Accepted: 06/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been recognized as a widespread comorbidity leading to excess mortality and an enormous healthcare burden. In T2D, bone mineral density (BMD) may underestimate the risk of low-energy fractures as bone quality is reduced. It was hypothesized that a decrease in the trabecular bone score (TBS), a parameter assessing bone microarchitecture, may be an early marker of impaired bone health in women with T2D.
AIM To identify clinical and body composition parameters that affect TBS in postmenopausal women with T2D and normal BMD.
METHODS A non-interventional cross-sectional comparative study was conducted. Potentially eligible subjects were screened at tertiary referral center. Postmenopausal women with T2D, aged 50-75 years, with no established risk factors for secondary osteoporosis, were included. BMD, TBS and body composition parameters were assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. In women with normal BMD, a wide range of anthropometric, general and diabetes-related clinical and laboratory parameters were evaluated as risk factors for TBS decrease using univariate and multivariate regression analysis and analysis of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
RESULTS Three hundred twelve women were initially screened, 176 of them met the inclusion criteria and underwent dual X-ray absorptiometry. Those with reduced BMD were subsequently excluded; 96 women with normal BMD were included in final analysis. Among them, 43 women (44.8%) showed decreased TBS values (≤ 1.31). Women with TBS ≤ 1.31 were taller and had a lower body mass index (BMI) when compared to those with normal TBS (Р = 0.008 and P = 0.007 respectively). No significant differences in HbA1c, renal function, calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, PTH and 25(ОН)D levels were found. In a model of multivariate linear regression analysis, TBS was positively associated with gynoid fat mass, whereas the height and androgen fat mass were associated negatively (all P < 0.001). In a multiple logistic regression, TBS ≤ 1.31 was associated with lower gynoid fat mass (adjusted odd ratio [OR], 0.9, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.85-0.94, P < 0.001), higher android fat mass (adjusted OR, 1.13, 95%CI, 1.03-1.24, P = 0.008) and height (adjusted OR, 1.13, 95%CI, 1.05-1.20, P < 0.001). In ROC-curve analysis, height ≥ 162.5 cm (P = 0.04), body mass index ≤ 33.85 kg/m2 (P = 0.002), gynoid fat mass ≤ 5.41 kg (P = 0.03) and android/gynoid fat mass ratio ≥ 1.145 (P < 0.001) were identified as the risk factors for TBS reduction.
CONCLUSION In postmenopausal women with T2D and normal BMD, greater height and central adiposity are associated with impaired bone microarchitecture.

Abstract
AIM Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) have more risk of bone fractures. However, areal bone mineral density (aBMD) by conventional dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is not useful for identifying this risk. This study aims to evaluate 3D-DXA parameters determining the cortical and trabecular compartments in patients with T2DM compared to non-diabetic subjects and to identify their determinants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Case-control study in 111 T2DM patients (65.4 ± 7.6 years old) and 134 non-diabetic controls (64.7 ± 8.6-year-old). DXA, 3D-DXA modelling via 3D-Shaper software and trabecular bone score (TBS) were used to obtain aBMD, cortical and trabecular parameters, and lumbar spine microarchitecture, respectively. In addition, biochemical markers as 25-hydroxyvitamin d, type I procollagen N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX), and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) were analysed. RESULTS Mean-adjusted values showed higher aBMD (5.4%-7.7%, ES: 0.33-0.53) and 3D-DXA parameters (4.1%-10.3%, ES: 0.42-0.68) in the T2DM group compared with the control group. However, TBS was lower in the T2DM group compared to the control group (-14.7%, ES: 1.18). In addition, sex (β = 0.272 to 0.316) and body mass index (BMI) (β = 0.236 to 0.455) were the most consistent and positive predictors of aBMD (p ≤ 0.01). BMI and P1NP were negative predictors of TBS (β = -0.530 and -0.254, respectively, p ≤ 0.01), while CTX was a positive one (β = 0.226, p=0.02). Finally, BMI was consistently the strongest positive predictor of 3D-DXA parameters (β = 0.240 to 0.442, p<0.05). CONCLUSION Patients with T2DM present higher bone mass measured both by conventional DXA and 3D-DXA, suggesting that 3D-DXA technology is not capable of identifying alterations in bone structure in this population. Moreover, BMI was the most consistent determinant in all bone outcomes.
