Abstract
Tumor-induced osteomalacia is caused by excessive fibroblast growth factor 23 production mainly from phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors. Surgical excision or tumor ablation are the preferred treatment. Information on bone microarchitecture parameters assessed by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography is limited. We report a woman with hypophosphatemic osteomalacia with generalized pain, weakness and recurrent fractures, and a large thoracic vertebral mass extending to the posterior mediastinum. Detailed radiologic and histopathologic evaluation revealed a phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor. Two surgeries were necessary for complete removal of the mass. Clinical symptoms improved after attaining normophosphatemia. Four-year post-surgical HR-pQCT parameters, compared to baseline, showed in the left distal radius, stable trabecular and cortical volumetric bone mineral density although below reference range. There was stability of trabecular number and thickness. Both stiffness and failure load decreased. A shift in cortical parameters was noted in year 2. In the left distal tibia, trabecular volumetric bone mineral density decreased whereas cortical volumetric bone mineral density markedly increased, as did cortical area. There was stability in the trabecular number and thickness. Both stiffness and failure load improved. Findings from HR-pQCT measurements in this patient disclosed that the healing of osteomalacia is not similar across the peripheral skeletal sites in the first years following tumor removal. Results contrasted low but stable volumetric bone mineral density in the distal radius with increase in the distal tibia at the expense of cortical bone. Our report helps further delineate the pattern of bone healing after treatment of this rare bone disorder.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze longstanding polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA) for possible associations between localized bone damage (erosions), and systemic bone loss. Besides, to compare the systemic bone mass of pJIA with healthy controls. METHODS Thirty-four pJIA women and 99 healthy controls (HC) were included. Radius and tibia of all subjects were scanned by HR-pQCT. Volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), bone microarchitecture, and -finite element parameters were analyzed. Patients underwent HR-pQCT of 2nd and 3rd metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints of the dominant hand, for bone erosions quantification. RESULTS The mean age of patients was 31.5 ± 7.4yrs with a mean disease duration of 21.7 ± 9.2yrs. Bone erosions were detectable in 79% of patients. The number of bone erosions was positively correlated with cortical porosity (Ct.Po) at tibia (r = 0.575, p = 0.001), and radius (r = 0.423, p = 0.018); and negatively correlated with cortical vBMD at tibia (r=-0.420, p = 0.015). In a logistic regression analysis, adjusted for anti-CCP, the presence of bone erosions was independently associated with Ct.Po at radius (p = 0.018) and cortical vBMD at tibia (p = 0.020). Moreover, cortical and trabecular vBMD, trabecular number, and μ-finite element parameters were decreased in patients compared to HC (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Bone erosions in longstanding pJIA women were associated with decreased cortical bone parameters, and these patients showed systemic bone impairment at peripheral sites compared with healthy controls.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the trabecular bone scores (TBSs) of 11 children and 24 adults with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) and non-XLH subjects from a tertiary center. MATERIALS AND METHODS The areal bone mineral density at the lumbar spine (LS-aBMD) and LS-aBMD Z score were analyzed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The bone mineral apparent density (BMAD) and LS-aBMD Z score adjusted for height Z score (LS-aBMD-HAZ) were calculated. The TBS was determined using TBS iNsight software based on DXA images from the Hologic QDR 4500 device. RESULTS The XLH patients exhibited a higher mean LS-aBMD Z score, BMAD, and TBS than the non-XLH subjects (p < 0.01). LS-aBMD-HAZ and BMAD were greater in the XLH children than those in their corresponding non-XLH subjects (p < 0.01 and p = 0.02), and the XLH children trended toward a greater TBS (p = 0.06). The XLH adults had a higher LS-aBMD Z score, BMAD, and TBS than the non-XLH subjects (p < 0.01). When stratified by metabolic status according to the serum values of bone formation markers, compensated adult patients had a higher LS-aBMD Z score, BMAD, and TBS than non-XLH subjects (p < 0.01). Noncompensated patients had higher LS-aBMD Z scores and BMAD results than non-XLH subjects. However, TBS values did not differ statistically significantly between those groups (p = 0.45). CONCLUSION The higher LS-aBMD Z score, BMAD, and TBS result in the XLH patients compared to non-XLH subjects indicates an increased amount of trabecular bone within the lumbar spine, regardless of extraskeletal calcifications.

Abstract
Patients with systemic mastocytosis (SM) are at high risk of bone deterioration. However, the evaluation of bone microarchitecture in this disease remains unclear. We aimed to assess bone microarchitecture in patients with SM. This was a cross-sectional study of 21 adult patients with SM conducted in a quaternary referral hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil. A healthy, age-, weight-, and sex-matched cohort of 63 participants was used to provide reference values for bone microarchitecture, assessed by high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). Total volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), cortical vBMD, and cortical thickness at the radius were significantly lower in the control group compared with the SM group (all P < 0.001). Patients with aggressive SM had significantly lower trabecular number (Tb.N) (P = 0.035) and estimated failure load (F.load) (P = 0.032) at the tibia compared with those with indolent SM. Handgrip strength was significantly higher in patients who had more Tb.N at the radius (ρ, 0.46; P = 0.036) and tibia (ρ, 0.49; P = 0.002), and lower who had more trabecular separation at the radius (ρ, -0.46; P = 0.035) and tibia (ρ, -0.52; P = 0.016). Strong and positive associations between F.load (ρ, 0.75; P < 0.001) and stiffness (ρ, 0.70; P < 0.001) at the radius, and between F.load at the tibia (ρ, 0.45; P = 0.038) were observed with handgrip strength. In this cross-sectional study, aggressive SM was more susceptible to bone deterioration compared with indolent SM. In addition, the findings demonstrated that handgrip strength was associated with bone microarchitecture and bone strength.

Abstract
BackgroundSome studies suggest that patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) may have reduced bone parameters and muscle mass. Despite those considerations, there is no validated consensus about this topic in the literature as the population and the methods for bone and muscle evaluation are often heterogeneous and not standardized.ObjectivesTo assess bone parameters and body composition of women with long-term polyarticular JIA and compare them to healthy controls.MethodsTwenty-seven women with long-term polyarticular JIA were compared with twenty-seven healthy controls, matched by sex, age, and body mass index (BMI). Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was performed to evaluate the lean mass, body fat percentage (% Fat), and visceral adipose tissue mass (VATm). High resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) at the distal radius and tibia was performed to assess trabecular (Tb.) and cortical (Ct.) volumetric bone mineral density (v.BMD) and strength bone parameters (stiffness - S; estimated fail load - FL). Group means were compared using Student’s t-test.ResultsPolyarticular JIA patients have a lower trabecular and cortical volumetric bone density, a lower bone strength, and a lower lean mass compared to healthy controls. Moreover, long-term JIA patients have a higher visceral adipose tissue mass (Table 1).Table 1.Bone parameters using high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) and body composition in long-term polyarticular patients and healthy controls.Polyarticular JIA n=27Healthy controls n=27p-valueAge, years31.8 ± 7.633 ± 8.20.597BMI, Kg/m224 ± 4.824.6 ± 4.70.931Disease duration, years22 ± 10-----Remission or low activity, n (%)16 (59)-----Use of prednisone, n (%)5 (18)-----Rheumatoid factor9 (33)0 (0)Lean mass, kg35.7 ± 4.739 ± 7.2<0.001%Fat, %39 ± 837 ± 70.364VATm, kg588 ± 538212 ± 2090.001HR-pQCT at the distal radiusTb.v.BMD, mg HA/cm3125 ± 32159 ± 38<0.001Ct.v.BMD, mg HA/cm3994 ± 461035 ± 43<0.001S, kN/mm64 ± 1178 ± 180.001FL, N3174 ± 8793710 ± 827<0.001HR-pQCT at the distal tibiaTb.vBMD, mg HA/cm3128 ± 48162 ± 320.003Ct.vBMD, mg HA/cm3990 ± 57993 ± 520.811S, kN/mm179 ± 39212 ± 40<0.001FL, N8519 ± 17739675 ± 25250.004Data expressed as mean ± standard deviation or frequency (percentage).

Abstract
Despite the well-established association of gene expression deregulation with low muscle mass (LMM), the associated biological mechanisms remain unclear. Transcriptomic studies are capable to identify key mediators in complex diseases. We aimed to identify relevant mediators and biological mechanisms associated with age-related LMM. LMM-associated genes were detected by logistic regression using microarray data of 20 elderly women with LMM and 20 age and race-matched controls extracted from our SPAH Study (GSE152073). We performed weighted gene co-expression analysis (WGCNA) that correlated the identified gene modules with laboratorial characteristics. Gene enrichment analysis was performed and an LMM predictive model was constructed using Support Vector Machine (SVM). Overall, 821 discriminating transcripts clusters were identified (|beta coefficient| >1; p-value <0.01). From this list, 45 predictors of LMM were detected by SVM and validated with 0.7 of accuracy. Our results revealed that the well-described association of inflammation, immunity and metabolic alterations is also relevant at transcriptomic level. WGCNA highlighted a correlation of genes modules involved in immunity pathways with vitamin D level (R = 0.63, p = 0.004) and the Agatston score (R = 0.51, p = 0.02). Our study generated a predicted regulatory network and revealed significant metabolic pathways related to aging processes, showing key mediators that warrant further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate premenopausal women with long-standing RA and to explore the relationship between parameters of systemic and localized bone involvement. METHODS Eighty consecutive RA premenopausal women were evaluated. Volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), microarchitecture and finite element analysis were performed using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) at the distal radius (DR) and tibia (DT) and compared with parameters from 160 female healthy controls matched by age and body mass index. Localized bone involvement was also analyzed using HR-pQCT in the metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints to identify erosions and osteophytes. RESULTS The mean age of RA patients was 39.4±6.7years and disease duration 9.8±5.3years. RA patients had impaired trabecular, cortical and bone strength parameters, at DR and DT, compared with healthy controls (p<0.05). Bone erosions and osteophytes were found in 75% and 41.3% of patients, respectively. Comparing patients with and without erosions, at DR and DT, a lower cortical vBMD (DR: 980±72 versus 1021±47mgHA/cm3 , p=0.03; DT:979±47 versus 1003±34 mgHA/cm3 , p=0.04) and higher cortical porosity (DR:2.8±2.5 versus 1.8±1.6%, p=0.04; and DT:3.7±1.6 versus 2.7±1.6%, p=0.01) were observed in patients with erosions. At the DR, osteophyte volume was positively correlated with trabecular vBMD (0.392, p=0.02), trabecular number (0.381, p=0.03) and stiffness (0.411, p=0.02), and negatively with trabecular separation (-0.364, p=0.04). CONCLUSION Our findings showed that premenopausal women with long-standing RA had systemic bone fragility at peripheral sites. Moreover, erosions were associated mainly with cortical bone fragility at the DR and DT, and osteophytes correlated with repair of trabecular bone at the radius.

Abstract
CONTEXT Acromegaly can impair bone integrity, increasing the risk of vertebral fractures (VFs). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of isolated GH/IGF-I hypersecretion on bone turnover markers, Wnt inhibitors, bone mineral density (BMD), microarchitecture, bone strength and vertebral fractures in female patients with acromegaly (Acro), compared with healthy control group (HC). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Cross-sectional study including 83 premenopausal women without any pituitary deficiency:18 acromegaly in remission (AcroR), 12 in group with active acromegaly (AcroA), and 53 HC. Serum procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide, β-carboxy-terminal crosslinked telopeptide of type 1 collagen, osteocalcin, sclerostin, and DKK1 were measured in blood samples. dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) and vertebral fractures evaluation were also assessed simultaneously. MAIN OUTCOME AND RESULTS AcroA showed significantly lower sclerostin and higher DKK1 compared with HC. On HR-pQCT of tibia and radius, Acro showed impairment of trabecular (area and trabecular number), increased cortical porosity, and increased cortical area and cortical thickness compared with HC. The only significant correlation found with HR-pQCT parameters was a positive correlation between cortical porosity and serum DKK1 (R = 0.45, P = 0.044). Mild VFs were present in approximately 30% of patients. CONCLUSIONS Eugonadal women with acromegaly without any pituitary deficiency showed increased cortical BMD, impairment of trabecular bone microstructure, and increased VF. Sclerostin was not correlated with any HR-pQCT parameters; however, DKK1 was correlated with cortical porosity in tibia (P = 0.027). Additional studies are needed to clarify the role of Wnt inhibitors on bone microarchitecture impairment in acromegaly.

Abstract
Although diuretics are often prescribed to control fluid overload, they can change Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) parameters. Previous studies have shown an association between diuretic prescription and changes in both calciuria and parathormone levels. However, the causal relationship could not be confirmed. In addition, the effects of diuretics on bone mineral density and turnover markers are yet to be established. To evaluate the effects of diuretics on CKD-MBD, we have performed a prospective randomized trial comparing hydrochlorothiazide with furosemide in a stage 3CKD population followed for 1 year. Furosemide increased bone remodeling and parathormone levels, whereas hydrochlorothiazide attenuated parathyroid hormone rise and decreased bone turnover markers. Diuretics may change parathormone (PTH), although a randomized trial was missing. Patients with CKD were randomized to either Furosemide or Hydrochlorothiazide. Furosemide increased PTH levels, CTx and P1NP. Hydrochlorothiazide attenuated PTH rise and decreased CTx and P1NP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (MCRFs), such as those related to aerobic capacity, muscle strength, physical activity, and body composition, have been poorly studied in Takayasu arteritis (TAK). Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate MCRFs and their relationships with disease status and comorbidities among patients with TAK. METHODS A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted between 2019 and 2020, in which 20 adult women with TAK were compared with 16 healthy controls matched by gender, age, and body mass index. The following parameters were analyzed: aerobic capacity by cardiopulmonary test; muscle function by timed-stands test, timed up-and-go test, and handgrip test; muscle strength by one-repetition maximum test and handgrip test; body composition by densitometry; physical activity and metabolic equivalent by IPAQ, quality of life by HAQ and SF-36; disease activity by ITAS2010 and NIH score; and presence of comorbidities. RESULTS Patients with TAK had a mean age of 41.5 (38.0-46.3) years, disease duration of 16.0 (9.5-20.0) years, and a mean BMI of 27.7±4.5 kg/m2. Three out of the 20 patients with TAK had active disease. Regarding comorbidities, 16 patients had systemic arterial hypertension, 11 had dyslipidemia, and two had type 2 diabetes mellitus, while the control group had no comorbidities. TAK had a significant reduction in aerobic capacity (absolute and relative VO2 peak), muscle strength in the lower limbs, increased visceral adipose tissue, waist-to-hip ratio, reduced walking capacity, decreased weekly metabolic equivalent, and quality of life (P< 0.05) as compared to controls. However, there were no correlations between these MCRFs parameters and disease activity. CONCLUSIONS TAK show impairment in MCRFs; therefore, strategies able to improve MCRF should be considered in this disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Few studies on rheumatoid arthritis have investigated disease activity and body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry including evaluation of visceral adipose tissue. Thus, we sought to verify the association between body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, including visceral adipose tissue, and inflammatory activity in long-standing established rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS Seventy-eight postmenopausal women with rheumatoid arthritis (American College of Rheumatology 2010) were studied. Disease activity was assessed by composite indexes (DAS28, CDAI, SDAI) and C-reactive protein. Potential association between body composition and disease activity was analysed by Pearson correlation and Tukey´s test (p < 0.05). RESULTS There was significant negative correlation between C-reactive protein and appendicular lean mass index (r = -0.234, p = 0.039). After adjusting for confounding variables, women with C-reactive protein >10 mg/L had a lower appendicular lean mass index than those with C-reactive protein 5-10 mg/L and <5 mg/L (6.3 ± 0.8 kg/m2 vs 7.2 ± 1.2 kg/m2 vs 6.8 ± 1.0 kg/m2, respectively; p = 0.013). Women with moderate inflammation (C-reactive protein 5-10 mg/L) had more fat than those with C-reactive protein >10 mg/L and C-reactive protein <5 mg/L (12.4 ± 3.5 kg/m2 vs 9.9 ± 3.6 kg/m2 vs 10.5 ± 2.8 kg/m2, respectively; p = 0.040), as well as more visceral adipose tissue than women with higher and lower C-reactive protein (812.5 ± 266.4 cm3 vs 604.3 ± 236.3cm3 vs 658.9 ± 255.6 cm3; p = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS High inflammatory activity that persists after a long disease duration was associated with both lower muscle and fat mass (including visceral adipose tissue), which is suggestive of more exuberant rheumatoid cachexia. Conversely, moderate activity was associated with greater visceral adipose tissue, which is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. These results point to the existence of different body composition profiles according to inflammatory status and the importance of individualized approaches to muscle mass and adiposity according to disease activity level in long-standing rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
Aims Patients with Chagas disease and heart failure (HF) have a poor prognosis similar to that of patients with ischaemic or dilated cardiomyopathy. However, the impact of body composition and muscle strength changes in these aetiologies is still unknown. We aimed to evaluate these parameters across aetiologies in two distinct cohort studies [TESTOsterone‐Heart Failure trial (TESTO‐HF; Brazil) and Studies Investigating Co‐morbidities Aggravating Heart Failure (SICA‐HF; Germany)]. Methods and results A total of 64 male patients with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40% were matched for body mass index and New York Heart Association class, including 22 patients with Chagas disease (TESTO‐HF; Brazil), and 20 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and 22 patients with ischaemic heart disease (SICA‐HF; Germany). Lean body mass (LBM), appendicular lean mass (ALM), and fat mass were assessed by dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry. Sarcopenia was defined as ALM divided by height in metres squared <7.0 kg/m2 (ALM/height2) and handgrip strength cut‐off for men according to the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People. All patients performed maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Forearm blood flow (FBF) was measured by venous occlusion plethysmography. Chagasic and ischaemic patients had lower total fat mass (16.3 ± 8.1 vs. 19.3 ± 8.0 vs. 27.6 ± 9.4 kg; P < 0.05) and reduced peak oxygen consumption (VO2) (1.17 ± 0.36 vs. 1.15 ± 0.36 vs. 1.50 ± 0.45 L/min; P < 0.05) than patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, respectively. Chagasic patients showed a trend towards decreased LBM when compared with ischaemic patients (48.3 ± 7.6 vs. 54.2 ± 6.3 kg; P = 0.09). Chagasic patients showed lower handgrip strength (27 ± 8 vs. 37 ± 11 vs. 36 ± 14 kg; P < 0.05) and FBF (1.84 ± 0.54 vs. 2.75 ± 0.76 vs. 3.42 ± 1.21 mL/min/100 mL; P < 0.01) than ischaemic and dilated cardiomyopathy patients, respectively. There was no statistical difference in the distribution of sarcopenia between groups (P = 0.87). In addition, FBF correlated positively with LBM (r = 0.31; P = 0.012), ALM (r = 0.25; P = 0.046), and handgrip strength (r = 0.36; P = 0.004). In a logistic regression model using peak VO2 as the dependent variable, haemoglobin (odds ratio, 1.506; 95% confidence interval, 1.043–2.177; P = 0.029) and ALM (odds ratio, 1.179; 95% confidence interval, 1.011–1.374; P = 0.035) were independent predictors for peak VO2 adjusted by age, left ventricular ejection fraction, New York Heart Association, creatinine, and FBF. Conclusions Patients with Chagas disease and HF have decreased fat mass and exhibit reduced peripheral blood flow and impaired muscle strength compared with ischaemic HF patients. In addition, patients with Chagas disease and HF show a tendency to have greater reduction in total LBM, with ALM remaining an independent predictor of reduced functional capacity in these patients. The percentage of patients affected by sarcopenia was equal between groups.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sarcopenia is characterized by progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, which results in decreased muscle strength, functional impairment, and increased risk of death. Few studies have performed a concomitant evaluation of clinical, laboratory, and body composition variables to accurately determine the contribution of each parameter to low muscle mass (LMM) in older subjects. This study aimed to identify risk factors (clinical, laboratory parameters, BMD, and body composition by DXA including visceral fat) for LMM in a prospective cohort of older Brazilian women. METHODS A total of 408 women aged ≥65 yr from the São Paulo Ageing & Health study were evaluated with clinical data, laboratory bone tests, BMD, and body composition by DXA using Hologic QDR 4500A equipment. Risk factors were measured at baseline (2005-2007). After a follow-up of 4.3 ± 0.8 yr, subjects were classified according to the LMM definition of the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health criteria. LMM was defined when appendicular lean mass divided by body mass index was less than 0.512. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify independent risk factors for LMM. RESULTS At the end of follow-up, 116 women (28.4%) had LMM. Age averages were 73.3 ± 4.9 yr in the LMM group and 72.5 ± 4.5 yr in the normal group (p = 0.11). Mean BMI was 30.6 ± 5.2 kg/m2 in the LMM group and 28.1 ± 4.7 kg/m2 in the normal group (p < 0.001). In multivariate analyses, predictors of LMM were: falls (OR = 1.14, p = 0.016), TSH levels (OR = 1.08, p = 0.018, per 1 μUI/L-increase), serum creatinine levels (OR = 11.11, p < 0.001, per 1 mg/dL-decrease), and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) mass (OR = 1.17, p < 0.001, per 100 g increase). CONCLUSIONS Falls, high TSH, low creatinine, and high VAT were risk factors for LMM in older women. More attention should be paid to these factors, since they are potentially reversible with adequate intervention.

Abstract
Background Vertebral fractures (VFs) are the most common clinical manifestation of osteoporosis associated with high morbimortality. A personal/familiar history of fractures increases the risk of fractures. The purpose of this study is to identify possible molecular markers associated with osteoporotic VFs in elderly women from community. Methods Transcriptomic analysis using Affymetrix HTA2 microarray was performed using whole blood samples of 240 subjects from a population‐based survey (Sao Paulo Ageing & Health [SPAH] study). Only elderly women with osteoporosis diagnosis by densitometry were analyzed, and divided in two groups: VF: women with osteoporosis and VFs versus no vertebral fracture (NVF): women with osteoporosis and NVFs. They were matched for age, chronic disease, medication use, and bone mineral density (BMD). The logistic regression model adjusted for age was applied for transcriptome data analysis. SYBR green‐based quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to validate the most significant expression changes obtained in the microarray experiment. Results Microarray analysis identified 142 differentially expressed genes (DEGs, p < .01), 57 upregulated and 85 downregulated, compared VF versus NVF groups. The DEG with the greatest expression difference was the Gamma2‐Syntrophin (SNTG2) (β = 31.88, p = .005). Validation by qPCR confirmed increased expression in VF group of Syntrophin (SNTG2, fold change = 2.79, p = .009), TRAF3 Interacting Protein2 (TRAF3IP2, fold change = 2.79, p = .020), and Integrin Subunit Alpha 6 (ITGA6, fold change = 2.86, p = .038). Conclusion Our data identified and validated the association of SNTG2 (608715), TRAF3IP2 (607043), and ITGA6 (147556) with osteoporotic VF in elderly women, independently of BMD. These results suggest that these transcripts have potential clinical significance and may help to explain the molecular mechanisms and biological functions of vertebral fracture.

Abstract
Introduction: The effects of ageing on bone can be mitigated with different types of physical training, such as power training. However, stimuli that combine increasing external and internal loads concomitantly may improve bone quality. The goal of this study was to assess the efficacy of a combined power and plyometric training on lumbar spine and distal tibia microstructure and function. Methods: 38 sedentary elderly women between 60 and 70 years were randomly allocated in experimental (N = 21) and control group (N = 17). The effects of the 20-week protocol on lumbar spine microstructure and tibia microstructure and function were assessed by trabecular bone score (TBS), high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) and microfinite element analysis. Results: when compared to the effects found in the control group, the experimental group showed significant improvements in lumbar spine TBS (Hedges' g = 0.77); and in distal tibia trabecular thickness (g = 0.82) and trabecular bone mineral density (g=0.63). Conclusion: our findings underscore the effectiveness of the proposed intervention, suggesting it as a new strategy to slow down and even reverse the structural and functional losses in the skeletal system due to ageing.

Abstract
Aims The definition of sarcopenia based on appendicular lean mass/height (2) (ALM/height (2)) is often used, although it can underestimate the prevalence of sarcopenia in overweight/obese patients with heart failure. Therefore, new methods have been proposed to overcome this limitation. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of sarcopenia by three methods and compare body composition in this population. Methods and results We enrolled 168 male patients with heart failure (left ventricular ejection fraction <40%). Sixty‐six patients (39.3%) were identified with sarcopenia by at least one method. The lower 20th percentile defined as the cut‐off point for sarcopenia was 7.03 kg/m2, −2.32 and 0.76 for Baumgartner's (20.8%), Newman's (21.4%), and Studenski's methods (21.4%), respectively. Patients with body mass index (BMI) <25 kg/m2 were more likely to be identified by Baumgartner's than Studenski's method (P < 0.001). However, in patients with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, Studenski's and Newman's methods were more likely to detect sarcopenia than Baumgartner's method (both P < 0.005). Patients were further divided into three subgroups: (i) patients classified in all indexes (n = 8), (ii) patients classified in Baumgartner's (sarcopenic; n = 27), and (iii) patients classified in both Newman's and Studenski's methods (sarcopenic obesity; n = 31). Comparing body composition among groups, all sarcopenic groups presented lower total lean mass compared with non‐sarcopenic patients, whereas sarcopenic obese patients had higher total lean mass than lean sarcopenic patients. Conclusions Our results demonstrate that the prevalence of sarcopenia in overweight/obese patients is similar to lean sarcopenic patients when other methods are considered. In patients with higher BMI, Studenski's method seems to be more feasible to detect sarcopenia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (JoSLE) is associated with low bone mass for age and fractures; nevertheless, risk factors for bone impairment are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate risk factors for bone mass loss in JoSLE patients. METHODS Forty-nine female JoSLE patients were evaluated at baseline and after a 3.5-year follow-up regarding clinical, laboratory (including bone turnover markers), areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and bone microarchitecture parameters using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). Based on the difference between final and baseline aBMD value, the patients were divided into three groups: aBMD gain (BG), aBMD loss (BL) and aBMD no change (NC). RESULTS The mean patient age was 18.7 ± 3.3 years. Sixty-one percent of patients presented with aBMD gain, 18.4% aBMD loss, and 20.4% remained stable during this follow-up period. Comparing the BL with the BG group, there was a higher frequency of alcohol consumption (p = 0.009), a higher frequency of inadequate calcium intake (p = 0.047) and lower levels of baseline procollagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide (P1NP) (p = 0.036) in the BL group. Moreover, worsening of HR-pQCT parameters trabecular volumetric density (p = 0.003) and cortical thickness (p = 0.009) was observed in the BL group. In addition, a higher frequency of renal activity was observed comparing the BL + NC with the BG group (p = 0.036). CONCLUSIONS This is the first longitudinal study that has analyzed the risk factors of bone loss in JoSLE patients. The authors emphasize the importance of evaluating lifestyle habits and renal disease activity in these young women. Furthermore, this study suggests that trabecular and cortical compartments deteriorated, and low levels of P1NP may be a predictor of bone impairment in JoSLE.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Radius and tibia bone microarchitecture, analyzed through a high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography, were significantly impaired in female patients with diffuse systemic sclerosis compared with healthy controls. Acroosteolysis, quality of life-grip strength, hand disability, and disease duration were significantly associated with this bone deterioration. INTRODUCTION The effect of diffuse systemic sclerosis (dSSc) on the bone is not completely understood. The objective of this study was to analyze the volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), microarchitecture, and biomechanical parameters at the distal radius and tibia using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT, XtremeCT) in female patients with dSSc and identify clinical and laboratory variables associated with these parameters. METHODS Thirty-eight women with dSSc and 76 healthy controls were submitted to HR-pQCT at the distal radius and tibia. Clinical and laboratory findings, bone mineral density(BMD), nailfold capillaroscopy (NC), total passive range of motion(ROM), and quality of life (health assessment questionnaire-HAQ) were associated with HR-pQCT (Scanco Medical AG, Brüttisellen, Switzerland) parameters. Multiple linear regression models adjusted for clinical and laboratory variables, ROM and HAQ, were performed. RESULTS Density, microarchitecture, and biomechanical parameters at the distal radius and tibia were significantly impaired in dSSc patients compared with healthy controls (p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression models showed that lower trabecular density (Tb.vBMD) (radius R2 = 0.561, p = 0.002; and tibia R2 = 0.533, p = 0.005), and lower trabecular number (Tb.N) (tibia R2 = 0.533, p = 0.005) were significantly associated with acroosteolysis. Higher trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) was associated with disease duration and higher HAQ-grip strength (radius R2 = 0.489, p = 0.013), while cortical density (Ct.vBMD) was associated with ROM (radius R2 = 0.294, p = 0.002). CONCLUSION Bone microarchitecture in patients with dSSc, analyzed through HR-pQCT, showed impairment of trabecular and cortical bone at distal radius and tibia. Variables associated with hand involvement (acroosteolysis, quality of life-grip strength, and ROM) and disease duration may be considered prognostic factors of this bone impairment.

Abstract
Acromegaly has been associated with high bone turnover rate and frequency of vertebral fractures, findings mainly observed in patients with active disease and untreated hypogonadism. However, DXA measurements of bone mineral density (BMD) in acromegaly are controversial, and may be normal, low or even high when compared with normal controls. Therefore, the use of alternative diagnostic tools that evaluate bone quality, such as HR-pQCT, as well as the selection of a population of patients without risk factors for osteoporosis can improve the assessment of excess GH on bone microarchitecture. To evaluate BMD and bone microarchitecture in women with acromegaly in comparison with healthy subjects, we conducted a cross-sectional study, including twenty six women with acromegaly (11 active/15 controlled) with sixty female healthy controls matched by age and body mass index (BMI kg/m2). Areal BMD (aBMD) was measured at lumbar spine(L1-L4), femoral neck and total hip by DXA. Bone microarchitecture was assessed by HR-pQCT at the distal radius and tíbia. We enrolled twenty six women with acromegaly (40.3± 5.8years,30.2 kg/m2) and 60 control subjects (40.6 ± 5.8 years, 28.4 ± 4.6 kg/m2), none of whom had hypopituitarism. Acromegaly patients and controls were comparable for age (40.3 ± 5.8 vs 40.5 ± 5.8 years; P=0.83); and BMI (28.3 ± 5.0 vs 28.3 ± 4.6 kg/m2; P=0.12). Patients with active acromegaly showed higher IGF-1 levels than controlled patients (375.2 ± 122.6 vs 160.7 ± 44.8 ng/mL, respectively). Compared to healthy controls,patients with acromegaly showed significantly higher aBMD at lumbar L1-L4 (1.000 ± 0.11 vs 1.130 ± 0.11; P<0.01), total Hip (0.93 ± 0.11 vs 1.040 ± 0.15; P<0.001) and femoral neck (0.82 ± 0.12 vs 0.900 ± 0.16; P=0.01.). HR-pQCT at the radius, showed significantly reduced trabecular BMD (TbBMD); (P<0.01); trabecular number (TbN); (P<0.001) and increased trabecular separation (TbSp) (P<0.001). On the other hand, patients with acromegaly had increased cortical BDM(Ct.BMD); (P<0,001) and cortical thickness (CtTh); (P<0.001). At the tibia, only trabecular thickness was significantly decreased (P<0.01). No differences in BMD and bone microstructure were observed between patients with active and controlled acromegaly. Conclusions: The current study demonstrates that women with acromegaly without associated hormonal deficiencies had reduced trabecular bone microarchitecture parameters and increased cortical parameters at peripheral sites using HR-pQCT. This finding provides additional evidence for the role of GH/IGF-1 levels in establishing and regulating skeletal microstructure. The limitations of this study include the cross-sectional design and relatively small numbers of patients. Longitudinal studies are needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Background Resting sympathetic hyperactivity and impaired parasympathetic reactivation
after exercise have been described in patients with heart failure (HF).
However, the association of these autonomic changes in patients with HF and
sarcopenia is unknown. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of autonomic modulation on
sarcopenia in male patients with HF. Methods We enrolled 116 male patients with HF and left ventricular ejection fraction
< 40%. All patients underwent a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
Maximal heart rate was recorded and delta heart rate recovery (∆HRR) was
assessed at 1st and 2nd minutes after exercise. Muscle
sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) was recorded by microneurography.
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to measure body composition and
sarcopenia was defined by the sum of appendicular lean muscle mass (ALM)
divided by height in meters squared and handgrip strength. Results Sarcopenia was identified in 33 patients (28%). Patients with sarcopenia had
higher MSNA than those without (47 [41-52] vs. 40 [34-48] bursts/min, p =
0.028). Sarcopenic patients showed lower ∆HRR at 1st (15 [10-21]
vs. 22 [16-30] beats/min, p < 0.001) and 2nd min (25 [19-39]
vs. 35 [24-48] beats/min, p = 0.017) than non-sarcopenic. There was a
positive correlation between ALM and ∆HRR at 1st (r = 0.26, p =
0.008) and 2nd min (r = 0.25, p = 0.012). We observed a negative
correlation between ALM and MSNA (r = -0.29, p = 0.003). Conclusion Sympatho-vagal imbalance seems to be associated with sarcopenia in male
patients with HF. These results highlight the importance of a therapeutic
approach in patients with muscle wasting and increased peripheral
sympathetic outflow.

Abstract
Disturbed shear rate (SR), characterized by increased retrograde and oscillatory SR in the brachial artery, is associated with inflammation, atherosclerosis, endothelial dysfunction, and sympathetic hyperactivity. Young subjects do not have disturbed SR; however, elderly subjects do, which seems to be associated with sympathetic hyperactivity. Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) abuse in young is associated with increased muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA). We hypothesized that AAS users might have disturbed SR. We tested the association between retrograde and oscillatory SR with MSNA. In addition, we measured the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). We evaluated 10 male AAS users, age 27 ± 4 years, and 10 age-matched AAS nonusers, age 29 ± 5 years. At rest, retrograde and oscillatory SR were evaluated by Doppler ultrasound, MSNA was measured with microneurography, and hs-CRP was measured in blood sample. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) was also assessed. AAS users had higher retrograde SR (24.42 ± 17.25 vs 9.15 ± 6.62 s- 1 , P = 0.01), oscillatory SR (0.22 ± 0.13 vs 0.09 ± 0.07 au P = 0.01), and MSNA (42 ± 9 vs 32 ± 4 bursts/100 heart beats, P = 0.018) than nonusers. MSNA (bursts/100 heart beats) was correlated with retrograde SR (r = 0.50, P = 0.050) and oscillatory SR (r = 0.51, P = 0.042). AAS users had higher hs-CRP [1.17 (0.44-3.63) vs 0.29 (0.17-0.70) mg/L, P = 0.015] and decreased FMD (6.42 ± 2.07 vs 8.28% ± 1.53%, P = 0.035) than nonusers. In conclusion, AAS abuse is associated with retrograde and oscillatory SR which were associated with augmented sympathetic outflow. In addition, AAS seems to lead to inflammation characterized by increased hs-CRP. These alterations may have the potential of increasing the early risk of atherosclerotic disease in young AAS users.

Abstract
Decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) has been a complication among people living with HIV/AIDS. To investigate the prevalence of osteopenia/osteoporosis among HIV-infected people living in São Paulo city, we studied 108 HIV-infected patients (79 men and 29 women). We extracted data from patients’ medical records and BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Median age of participants was 42 years (interquartile range [IQR] 36-48 years), and the median time since HIV diagnosis was 4.01 years (IQR 2-11 years). Patients had acquired HIV primarily by the sexual route (men who have sex with men 44%, heterosexual 49%). Median age, duration of HIV infection, duration of ART and CD4 nadir were similar for men and women. Plasma viral load was undetectable for 53 patients (49%). Median CD4 T cell count was 399 cells/µL (IQR 247 - 568). Twenty five patients (23%) had LBMD, and there was no statistically significant difference between men and women (<-1). The associated risk factors for LBMD were older age (≥ 50 years old) and smoking with a RR of 3.87 and 2.80, respectively. Thus, despite the lack of statistically significant relationship between the use of ART and LBMD or between duration of ART and LBMD, these factors should be addressed in larger studies.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In X-linked hypophosphatemic (XLH) rickets, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurements must be analyzed with caution. High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) analysis suggested that XLH primarily affects the cancellous compartment, with the tibia more affected than the radius. Effective treatment of XLH appears to positively affect bone mineralization, mainly in the bone cortex. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study is to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) and microarchitecture in 37 patients (13 children and 24 adults) with XLH confirmed by PHEX mutations from a tertiary center compared to healthy controls. METHODS Areal BMD (aBMD) was evaluated by DXA, whereas volumetric BMD (vBMD) and microarchitectural parameters were analyzed by HR-pQCT. RESULTS Adult XLH patients had higher lumbar aBMD (p < 0.01) than the controls. At the radius, the vBMD was similar between XLH patients and controls. At the tibia, XLH patients had lower total vBMD (p = 0.04), likely resulting from decreased trabecular vBMD (p < 0.01), and this difference was observed in the children and adult groups. Analysis based on metabolic status showed that the adult XLH patients with non-compensated disease had lower cortical vBMD at the tibia than the compensated XLH patients (p = 0.03). The microarchitectural differences at the radius and tibia included lower trabecular number (p < 0.01), greater trabecular separation (p < 0.01), and higher trabecular network inhomogeneity (p < 0.01) in XLH patients compared to their controls. At the radius, adults exhibited greater trabecular deficits than were seen in children. CONCLUSIONS In XLH patients, DXA measurements must be analyzed with caution due to the interference of anatomic and anthropometric factors. HR-pQCT analysis suggested that XLH primarily affects the cancellous compartment, with the tibia more affected than the radius. Effective treatment of XLH appears to positively affect bone mineralization, mainly in the bone cortex.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The present study investigates the relationship between visceral fat measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and the incidence of non-spine fractures in community-dwelling elderly women. We demonstrated a potential negative effect of visceral fat on bone health in nonobese women. INTRODUCTION The protective effect of obesity on bone health has been questioned because visceral fat has been demonstrated to have a deleterious effect on bone. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of visceral fat measured by DXA with the incidence of non-spine fractures in community-dwelling elderly women. METHODS This longitudinal prospective population-based cohort study evaluated 433 community-dwelling women aged 65 years or older. A specific clinical questionnaire, including personal history of a fragility fracture in non-spine osteoporotic sites, was administered at baseline and after an average of 4.3 years. All incidences of fragility fractures during the study period were confirmed by affected-site radiography. Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) was measured in the android region of a whole-body DXA scan. RESULTS The mean age was 72.8 ± 4.7 years, and 28 incident non-spine osteoporotic fractures were identified after a mean follow-up time of 4.3 ± 0.8 years. According to the Lipschitz classification for nutritional status in the elderly, 38.6 % of women were nonobese (BMI ≤ 27 kg/m2) and 61.4 % were obese/overweight. Logistic regression models were used to estimate the relationship between VAT and non-spine fractures in elderly women. After adjusting for age, race, previous fractures, and BMD, VAT (mass, area, volume) had a significant association with the incidence of non-spine fractures only in nonobese elderly women (VAT mass: OR, 1.42 [95 % CI, 1.09-1.85; p = 0.010]; VAT area: OR, 1.19 [95 % CI, 1.05-1.36; p = 0.008]; VAT volume: OR, 1.40 [95 % CI, 1.09-1.80; p = 0.009]). CONCLUSION This study suggests a potential negative effect of visceral adiposity on bone health in nonobese women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Telmisartan, an angiotensin AT1 receptor blocker, and treadmill running were compared for their effects on bone mineral density (BMD) and biomechanical properties of male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). It was hypothesized that running (18m/min/60min/d) and telmisartan (5mg/kg/d) would have a positive effect on bone parameters. METHODS Three-month-old male SHRs were divided into three groups: sedentary (S), telmisartan (T), and exercise (E). At the end of an 8-week protocol, femur and lumbar vertebrae were analyzed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for bone mineral density and by the three-point bending test for biomechanical properties. Blood pressure in all groups was measured by a tail-cuff manometer. RESULTS Telmisartan and treadmill running reduced blood pressure when compared to the sedentary group; however, telmisartan did not improve bone characteristics. Instead, it reduced BMD of femur total and lumbar vertebrae and worsened bone biomechanic properties. Treadmill running maintained bone characteristics and hence was effective in maintaining bone health. CONCLUSION Results showed that telmisartan negatively affected bones suggesting that caution should be taken in possible therapeutic applications for protecting bone health in hypertensive conditions. More studies are necessary to clarify the mechanisms through which telmisartan favors bone loss in this model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Vitamin D has an important immunomodulatory effect, but there are no trials that directly address the boosting of serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) in juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on disease activity and fatigue in juvenile-onset SLE. METHODS This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 24-week trial. Forty juvenile-onset SLE patients were randomized (1:1) to receive oral cholecalciferol 50,000 IU/week (juvenile-onset SLE-VitD) or placebo (juvenile-onset SLE-PL). Medications remained stable throughout the study. Serum levels of 25(OH)D were measured using radioimmunoassay. Disease activity was assessed using the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) and the European Consensus Lupus Activity Measurement (ECLAM). Fatigue was assessed using the Kids Fatigue Severity Scale (K-FSS). RESULTS At baseline, groups were similar regarding age, body mass index, organ involvement, glucocorticoid dose, use of immunosuppressive drugs, SLEDAI, ECLAM, K-FSS, and levels of 25(OH)D. After 24 weeks, the mean level of 25(OH)D was higher in the juvenile-onset SLE-VitD group than in the juvenile-onset SLE-PL group (P < 0.001). At the end of the intervention, a significant improvement in SLEDAI (P = 0.010) and in ECLAM (P = 0.006) was observed in the juvenile-onset SLE-VitD group compared to the juvenile-onset SLE-PL group. Regarding fatigue evaluation, a reduction of fatigue related to social life score was found in the juvenile-onset SLE-VitD group compared to the juvenile-onset SLE-PL group (P = 0.008). Cholecalciferol was well tolerated with no serious adverse events. CONCLUSION This study suggests that cholecalciferol supplementation for 24 weeks is effective in decreasing disease activity and improving fatigue in juvenile-onset SLE patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine whether combined testosterone replacement and exercise training (ET) therapies would potentiate the beneficial effects of isolated therapies on neurovascular control and muscle wasting in patients with heart failure (HF) with testosterone deficiency. PATIENTS AND METHODS From January 10, 2010, through July 25, 2013, 39 male patients with HF, New York Heart Association functional class III, total testosterone level less than 249 ng/dL (to convert to nmol/L, multiply by .03467), and free testosterone level less than 131 pmol/L were randomized to training (4-month cycloergometer training), testosterone (intramuscular injection of testosterone undecylate for 4 months), and training + testosterone groups. Muscle sympathetic nerve activity was measured using microneurography, forearm blood flow using plethysmography, body composition using dual X-ray absorptiometry, and functional capacity using cardiopulmonary test. Skeletal muscle biopsy was performed in the vastus lateralis. RESULTS Muscle sympathetic nerve activity decreased in ET groups (training, P<.01; training + testosterone, P<.01), whereas no changes were observed in the testosterone group (P=.89). Forearm blood flow was similar in all groups. Lean mass increased in ET groups (training, P<.01; training + testosterone, P<.01), whereas lean mass decreased in the testosterone group (P<.01). The response of cross-sectional area of type I (P<.01) and type II (P<.05) fibers increased in the training + testosterone group as compared with the isolated testosterone group. CONCLUSION Our findings provide evidence for a superior effect of combined ET and testosterone replacement therapies on muscle sympathetic nerve activity, muscle wasting, and functional capacity in patients with HF with testosterone deficiency.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We performed concomitant evaluation of clinical, laboratory, and bone mineral density (BMD) parameters as potential risk factors for falls in a population-based prospective cohort of older adults, since previous studies have focused mostly in clinical risk factors. Loss of hip BMD and persistent hypovitaminosis D were associated with recurrent falls in community-dwelling elderly. INTRODUCTION Few studies have performed a concomitant evaluation of clinical data, laboratory bone parameters, and bone mineral density (BMD) to determine more accurately the contribution of each of these variables to risk of falls in elderly persons. We investigated the association between bone parameters and recurrent falls in a population-based prospective cohort of community-dwelling older adults. METHODS A total of 705 elderly individuals (448 women, 257 men) were evaluated with clinical data, BMD, and laboratory bone tests at baseline and after a mean follow-up of 4.3 ± 0.8 years. Individuals with recurrent falls (≥2 falls in the previous year from the date of the second evaluation) were considered chronic fallers. Logistic regression models were used to identify independent risk factors for recurrent falls. RESULTS The frequency of chronic fallers was 16.5%. In multivariate analyses, risk factors for recurrent falls were visual impairment (odds ratio (OR) = 2.49, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.30-4.74, p = 0.006), use of psychotropic drugs (OR = 2.47, 95% CI 1.37-4.49, p = 0.003), clinical fracture (OR = 2.78, 95% CI 1.48-5.20, p = 0.001), persistently low 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) (<20 ng/mL) (OR = 1.71, 95% CI 1.10-2.64, p = 0.016), and loss of total hip BMD during the study (OR = 1.21, 95% CI 1.17-1.25, p = 0.035 for each 4% decrease). CONCLUSIONS In addition to traditional clinical risk factors for falls, loss of hip BMD and hypovitaminosis D were associated with recurrent falls in community-dwelling elderly persons. Thus, recognizing these factors is essential to preventing falls and improving the outcomes of this population.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Evidence suggests that creatine may have some beneficial effects on bone. The study aimed to investigate the effects of exercise alone or combined with creatine on bone health in ovariectomized rats. Findings show that exercise, but not creatine, has an important role in improving bone health. INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise training alone or combined with creatine supplementation on bone health parameters in ovariectomized rats. METHODS Wistar rats were randomly allocated into one of five groups: (i) sham-operated, (ii) ovariectomized non-trained placebo-supplemented, (iii) ovariectomized non-trained creatine-supplemented, (iv) ovariectomized exercise-trained placebo-supplemented, and (v) ovariectomized exercise-trained creatine-supplemented. Downhill running training and/or creatine supplementation (300 mg/kg body weight) were administered for 12 weeks. Bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), and biomechanical and histomorphometric parameters were assessed. RESULTS No interaction effects were observed for BMC and BMD at whole body, femur, and lumbar spine (p > 0.05). Importantly, a main effect of training was detected for whole body BMC and BMD (p = 0.003 and p < 0.001, respectively), femoral BMC and BMD (p = 0.005 and p < 0.001, respectively), and lumbar spine BMC and BMD (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively), suggesting that the trained animals had higher bone mass, irrespective of creatine supplementation. Main effects of training were also observed for maximal load (p < 0.001), stiffness (p < 0.001), and toughness (p = 0.046), indicating beneficial effects of exercise training on bone strength. Neither a main effect of supplementation nor an interaction effect was detected for biomechanical parameters (p > 0.05). No main or interaction effects were observed for any of the histomorphometric parameters evaluated (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Exercise training, but not creatine supplementation, attenuated ovariectomy-induced bone loss in this rat model.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We ascertained the incidence and predictors of radiographic vertebral fracture in a Brazilian elderly cohort, since no data in this field have been reported in low-income countries. This is the first population-based study to demonstrate the high frequency of vertebral fracture in elderly Latin Americans. Age, prior fracture, BMD, and bone turnover were predictors of fracture. INTRODUCTION Vertebral fractures are associated with increased future fracture risk and mortality. No data on incidence of osteoporotic vertebral fracture have been reported in low-income countries where the population's aging has been faster. Thus, we sought to describe the incidence and risk factors for radiographic vertebral fracture in a longitudinal prospective Brazilian population-based elderly cohort. METHODS 707 older adults (449 women and 258 men) were evaluated with spinal radiographs obtained at baseline and after a mean follow-up of 4.3 ± 0.8 years. New vertebral fracture was defined as distinct alteration in the morphology of vertebrae resulting in higher grade of deformity on the second radiograph when compared to the baseline radiograph. Clinical questionnaire, bone mineral density (BMD), and laboratory tests were performed at baseline. Multivariate Poisson regression models were used to identify independent predictors of fracture. RESULTS The age-standardized incidence of vertebral fracture was 40.3/1,000 person-years in women and 30.6/1,000 in men. In women, three models of risk factors for fracture were fitted: (1) age (relative risks (RR) 2.46, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.66-3.65), previous osteoporotic fracture (RR 1.65, 95 % CI 1.00-2.71), and lumbar spine BMD (RR 1.21, 95 % CI 1.03-1.41); (2) age (RR 2.25, 95 % CI 1.52-3.34) and femoral neck BMD (RR 1.42, 95 % CI 1.11-1.81); (3) age (RR 2.11, 95 % CI 1.41-3.15) and total hip BMD (RR 1.56, 95 % CI 1.21-2.0). In men, the highest quartile of cross-linked C-telopeptide (CTx) (RR 1.96, 95 % CI 0.98-3.91) and prior fracture (RR 2.10, 95 % CI 1.00-4.39) were predictors of new vertebral fracture. CONCLUSIONS This is the first population-based study to ascertain the incidence of vertebral fracture in elderly Latin Americans, confirming the high frequency of the disorder. Age, prior fracture, BMD, and bone turnover were predictors of the short-term incidence of vertebral fracture.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence of 25-hydroxyvitamin D insufficiency (25OHD<20 ng/mL) and to develop a predictive model for this status. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study including 908 community-dwelling older subjects, 18% (158) of which were randomly selected to be a "test" sample, with the remaining (750) composing a "development" sample. A radioimmunoassay technique was used to measure 25OHD levels. Anthropometrical data, information about lifestyle habits and co-morbidities were obtained. Multiple logistic regression models were created. An Index Risk of Vitamin D Insufficiency (IRVDI) was designed and subsequently validated. The performance of this tool was assessed through ROC analysis. RESULTS The prevalence of 25OHD<20 ng/mL was of 58.0% (CI 95% 51.6-64.6). The clinical independent factors for 25OHD<20 ng/mL were female gender (OR=2.16; 95%CI 1.13-4.13; p=0.020), diabetes (OR=1.84; 95%CI 1.23-2.74; p=0.003) and season (winter/spring) (OR=3.63, 95%CI 2.62-4.88; p<0.001). After statistical adjustments, the IRVDI was able to identify older people at risk for vitamin D insufficiency with a sensitivity of 55.9%, specificity 72.3% and ROC area of 0.685 (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that vitamin D insufficiency is common among Brazilian community-dwelling elderly. Female gender, diabetes and the season (winter/spring) were the important parameters that predicted this status. The clinical use of these parameters can be help to design and target appropriate public health interventions. The IRVDI is a convenient tool for the selection of older people at risk for vitamin D insufficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Vertebral fractures are associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Since 70% of vertebral fractures are clinically silent, a radiologic image of the spine has to be acquired for the diagnosis. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of Vertebral Fracture Assessment (VFA) by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) with radiographs to identify vertebral fractures in community-dwelling older adults. METHODS A total of 429 older adults (ages ≥65 years) were enrolled in this cohort. VFA by DXA measurements were evaluated by 2 expert rheumatologists by consensus, and spine radiographs were analyzed according to the semiquantitative method by an expert radiologist. The correlation between VFA and spine radiographs to identify vertebral fractures was analyzed by kappa scores. RESULTS The prevalence of vertebral fractures in VFA and radiographs was 29.1% and 29.4%, respectively (P = 0.99). The frequency of unavailable vertebrae was significantly lower in spinal radiographs than in VFA (0.9% and 5.6%, respectively; P < 0.001), particularly in T4-T6. According to VFA, 5,013 vertebrae (96%) were identified as normal and 144 (2.7%) had grade 1, 58 (1.1%) had grade 2, and 12 (0.2%) had grade 3 fractures. The sensitivity of VFA was 72.9% and the specificity was 99.1% to identify vertebral fractures. The sensitivity increased to 92% and the specificity increased to 99.9% when excluding grade 1 deformities. A good correlation between VFA and radiographs (κ = 0.74) was observed, and the exclusion of grade 1 resulted in even better agreement (κ = 0.84). CONCLUSION In community-dwelling older adults, VFA and radiographs had comparable performances in identifying vertebral fractures, particularly if mild deformities are excluded. Therefore, this methodology is a feasible and promising alternative to improve the management of patients with a high risk of osteoporotic fractures.
