Abstract
Most postmenopausal women who sustain fragility fracture (Fx) have their areal bone mineral density (BMD) above the osteoporosis threshold. A sizeable proportion of them have normal aBMD. This study aimed to prospectively investigate the association of fragility Fx with bone microarchitecture (MA) assessed by high-resolution peripheral computed tomography (HR-pQCT) in postmenopausal women without low BMD. At the 14th annual follow-up of the OFELY study, we measured bone MA at the distal radius and tibia with HR-pQCT in addition to areal BMD with DXA, in 586 postmenopausal women. Among them, 166 (29 %) women, mean (SD) age 65 (8) yr, had normal BMD defined as a T score ≥ -1 at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip. During a median [IQR] 15 [14-15] yr of follow-up, 46 of those women sustained incident fragility Fx, including 19 women with a major osteoporotic Fx (clinical spine, forearm, proximal humerus, hip). Women who sustained Fx did not differ for age, BMI, tobacco and alcohol use, diabetes, falls, FRAX®, aBMD, and TBS compared with women without incident Fx. In contrast, they had significant impairment of volumetric densities, cortical area (Ct. Ar) and thickness (Ct. Th), stiffness (K), and estimated failure load (FL) at the radius compared with women without incident Fx. At the radius, each SD decrease of volumetric densities, Ct.Ar, Ct.Th, K, and estimated FL were significantly associated with an increased risk of all fragility fractures with hazard ratios (HR) from 1.44 to 1.56 and of major osteoporotic fractures (HR from 1.66 to 2.57). Lesser impairment of bone MA was seen at the tibia. We conclude that even in women with normal areal BMD fragility fractures are associated with deterioration of bone microarchitecture.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of plasma cartilage acidic protein 1 (CRTAC1), a novel biochemical marker of osteoarthritis (OA), and total joint replacement (TJR) in postmenopausal women. METHODS The association of plasma CRTAC1 with the incidence of TJR was investigated in a prospective cohort including 478 postmenopausal women. A total of 38 women underwent a TJR for OA during a median follow-up of 18 years. Every one of the TJR cases were age- and BMI (kg/m2)-matched with 2 controls with no TJR from the same cohort. Plasma CRTAC1 was measured before TJR. The association between CRTAC1 and TJR incidence was investigated by conditional logistic regression. RESULTS Increased CRTAC1 was associated with a higher risk of TJR with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.80 (95% CI 1.11-2.92) for 1 SD increase, which remained significant after adjusting for Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, knee OA baseline severity (Kellgren-Lawrence grade), hip OA, and hip bone mineral density. Urinary crosslinked C-telopeptide of type II collagen (CTX-II) was also associated with a higher risk of TJR with an adjusted OR of 1.83 (95% CI 1.11-3.00). When CRTAC1 and CTX-II were included in the same model, both markers were significantly associated with TJR with similar ORs. CONCLUSION CRTAC1 is a new risk indicator of TJR for OA in postmenopausal women. Combined with knee and hip OA and CTX-II, it may help to identify subjects at risk for TJR.

Abstract
Klinefelter Syndrome (KS) patients, defined by a 47 XXY karyotype, have increased risk of fragility fractures. We have assessed bone microarchitecture by high resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT) at the radius and tibia in young KS patients, naïve from testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Areal bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition were assessed by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Total testosterone (tT) was measured at baseline. Bone measurements have been repeated after 30 months of TRT. We enrolled 24 KS patients and 72 age-matched controls. KS patients were (mean ± SD) 23.7 ± 7.8 year-old. KS patients had significantly lower relative appendicular lean mass index (RALM) and lower aBMD at spine and hip than controls. Ten patients (42%) had low tT level (≤ 10.4 nmol/L). At baseline, we observed at radius a marked cortical (Ct) impairment reflected by lower Ct.area, Ct.perimeter, and Ct.vBMD than controls. At tibia, in addition to cortical fragility, we also found significant alterations of trabecular (Tb) compartment with lower trabecular bone volume (BV/TV) and Tb.vBMD as compared to controls. After 30 months of TRT, 18 (75%) KS patients were reassessed. Spine aBMD and RALM significantly increased. At radius, both cortical (Ct.Pm, Ct.Ar, Ct.vBMD, Ct.Th) and trabecular (Tb.vBMD) parameters significantly improved. At tibia, the improvement was found only in the cortical compartment. Young TRT naïve KS patients have inadequate bone microarchitecture at both the radius and tibia, which can improve on TRT.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BPs) are the most widely used drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis but prolonged use of BPs might increase the risk of atypical femur fracture (AFF). There are only a few studies that address the bone material quality in patients on long-term BP treatment with or without AFFs. We analyzed 52 trans-iliac bone biopsies from patients on long-term BP therapy with (n = 26) and without (n = 26) AFF. At the microscopic level, the degree of mineralization of bone (DMB) was assessed on whole bone by X-ray digitized microradiography while microhardness by Vickers microindentation, and bone matrix characteristics by Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy (FTIRM) (mineral/organic ratio, mineral maturity and crystallinity, and collagen maturity) were measured at random focal areas. The AFF patients were treated longer than non-AFF patients (9.7 ± 3.3 years versus 7.9 ± 2.7 years). As expected, bone remodeling was low in both groups, without difference between them. The AFF group had significantly higher DMB in cortical bone (+2.9%, p = .001), which remained so after adjusting for treatment duration (p = .007), and showed a trend in cancellous bone (+1.6%, p = .05). Consistent with higher DMB, heterogeneity index (HI) was lower in the AFF than in the non-AFF group, illustrating lower heterogeneity of mineralization in the AFF group. A significant positive correlation between the duration of treatment and DMB in cortical bone was found in AFF, and not in the non-AFF group. Microhardness and bone matrix characteristics were similar between groups. We conclude that the AFF group had a duration-dependent increase in DMB leading to a significantly higher DMB than the non-AFF. Because BPs have high affinity to bone mineral and lining the walls of the osteocyte lacunae, the accumulation of matrix-bound BPs in AFF could lead to inhibition of the osteocyte cytoskeleton blunting their response to mechanical strains, a hypothesis to be further investigated. © 2021 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES PsA prevalence among skin psoriasis is ∼30%. Nail psoriasis, especially onycholysis, is present in >70% of PsA and the risk of developing PsA is more than doubled in patients with nail involvement. We hypothesized that onycholysis may be associated with early bone erosions of the DIP joint without harbouring PsA symptoms. METHODS We compared tendon thickness, assessed by US, and bone erosions, assessed by high-resolution peripheral quantitative CT, of the DIP joint in patients with psoriatic onycholysis without PsA (ONY) with those in patients with cutaneous psoriasis only (PSO). We used patients with PsA as reference (PsA group), and healthy age-matched controls (CTRL). Differences between groups were assessed by analysis of variance tests followed by post hoc analysis using the Scheffe method. RESULTS Mean (s.e.m.) age of the 87 participants (61% males) was 45.2 (1.3) years. The mean extensor tendon thickness was significantly larger in ONY than in PSO patients. In the PsA group, 68% of patients exhibited erosions of three different shapes: V-, Omega- and U-shape. Association with erosions was greater in the ONY group than in the PSO group (frequency: 57 vs 14%; P < 0.001; mean number of erosions: 1.10 (0.35) vs 0.03 (0.03); P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Onycholysis was associated with significant enthesopathy and bone erosions in our cohort. These data support the pathogenic role of enthesopathy in PsA. Onycholysis may be considered as a surrogate marker of severity in psoriasis. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrails.gov, https://clinicaltrials.gov, NCT02813720.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Treatment is usually withheld from women with osteopenia even though they are the source of over 70% of all women having fragility fractures. As microstructural deterioration increases fracture risk and zoledronate reduces it, we aimed to determine whether identifying and treating women with osteopenia and severe microstructural deterioration is cost-effective. We also compared the health economic outcomes of 'global' versus 'targeted' treatment using SFS of women aged ≥70 years with osteopenia. DESIGN We assessed the cost-effectiveness from using a Markov model that simulated 10-year follow up of women with osteopenia. Decision analysis compared measurement of distal radial microstructure using high resolution peripheral computed tomography (at a cost of USD $210) to target women with severe microstructural deterioration for zoledronate treatment, compared to standard care defined as measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) with treatment recommended when femoral neck BMD T score is ≤-2.5 SD with or without a prevalent fracture. In the 'global' treatment approach, high resolution peripheral quantitative tomography (HRpQCT) was not undertaken. SETTING US healthcare system. PARTICIPANTS A hypothetical cohort of 1000 women aged ≥70 years with osteopenia and no previous fractures was studied. MEASURES Fractures, deaths, years of life lived, quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) lived and costs. Data inputs were obtained from published sources. A 3% annual discount rate was applied to future health benefits and costs. RESULTS Women in the standard care group incurred 327 fractures during 7341.0 years and 4914.2 QALYs lived. Women in the intervention group incurred 300 fractures (number needed to treat 37) during 7359.2 years and 4928.8 QALYs lived. Net costs were USD $4,862,669 and $4,952,004, respectively, equating to 18.1 years of life saved and 14.6 QALYs saved, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios of $4992 per year of life saved and $6135 per QALY saved. These ratios are well within the threshold considered to be cost-effective. Sensitivity analyses indicated the results were robust. Relative to standard of care, 'global' and 'targeted' treatment respectively resulted in 0.0364 vs. 0.0181 years of life (YoLS) saved per person, and 0.0292 and 0.0146 QALYs saved per person. The net costs per person for the respective approaches were $US 359 and $US 89. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios were $9864 per YoLS and $12,290 per QALY saved for the 'global' approach and $4992 per YoLS and $6135 per QALY saved for the 'targeted' approach. CONCLUSION Identifying and treating women ≥70 years of age with osteopenia and microstructural deterioration with zoledronate cost-effectively reduces the morbidity and mortality imposed by fragility fractures. This 'targeted' approach is more cost-effective than a 'global' approach and incurs only 25% of total costs. IMPLICATION Women with osteopenia with bone fragility due to microstructural deterioration should be identified and targeted for treatment. SUMMARY Women with osteopenia have 70% of fractures. Treating those with microstructural deterioration conferred an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $4992/year of life saved and $6135 per QALY saved.

Abstract
Structural damage is a hallmark in RA, spondyloarthropy (SpA) and psoriatric arthritis (PsA). Its progression is difficult to predict and current radiological or inflammatory biological markers lack sensitivity. Biochemical markers of bone, cartilage and synovial tissues provide a dynamic indication of the anabolism and catabolism of joint tissues and can be easily measured by immunoassays. Novel biochemical markers including post-translational modifications of matrix proteins and enzyme-generated neoepitopes with increased tissue and/or biological pathway specificity have been developed. Their evaluation in clinical trials of novel biologic therapies and epidemiological studies indicated that their measurements could be useful to predict progression of structural damage and treatment efficacy, independently of current clinical, radiological and biological indices of disease activity. In this paper we briefly describe the latest developments in biochemical markers and critically analyse the clinical data assessing the utility of established and novel biochemical markers in RA, SpA and PsA.

Abstract
Biologics are substances synthetized from biological sources used in the prevention and treatment of several diseases. Rheumatologists have many years of experience with biologics for the treatment of immune-mediated diseases and osteoporosis. Randomized clinical trials and postmarketing studies have demonstrated that treatment with biologics can result, albeit infrequently, in serious adverse events. To date, several risk mitigation strategies have been identified and implemented. The objective of the present perspective review is to examine the risk mitigation strategies of biologic treatments, with special focus on anti-tumor necrosis factors and denosumab.

Abstract
In older men, low estrogen levels are associated with poor bone microarchitecture. Data on androgens are discordant. We studied the link between baseline sex steroid levels (total 17β -estradiol [17βE2], total testosterone [tT], calculated bioavailable 17βE2 [bio-17βE2], and apparent free testosterone concentration [AFTC]) and bone microarchitecture deterioration assessed prospectively in a 820 older men followed for 8 years. Bone microarchitecture was assessed by HR-pQCT at baseline, then after 4 and 8 years. At both the skeletal sites, the bone microarchitecture deterioration rate did not correlate with serum levels of tT and 17βE2. At the distal radius, cortical area (Ct.Ar) decreased more rapidly in the lowest versus the highest AFTC quartile. At the distal tibia, cortical thickness (Ct.Th) decreased and trabecular area (Tb.Ar) increased more rapidly in the highest versus the lowest AFTC quartile. At the tibia, bone mineral content (BMC), total volumetric bone mineral density (Tt.vBMD), Ct.Th, and Ct.Ar decreased, whereas Tb.Ar increased faster in the lowest versus the highest bio-17βE2 quartile. In men who had both AFTC and bio-17βE2 in the lowest quartile (high-risk group), distal radius cortical vBMD (Ct.vBMD) decreased more rapidly compared with men who had both hormones in the three upper quartiles (reference group). At the distal tibia, Tt.vBMD, Ct.Th, Ct.Ar, and Ct.vBMD decreased, whereas Tb.Ar increased more rapidly in the high-risk group versus the reference group. In men receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer, BMC, Tt.vBMD, Ct.Th, Ct.Ar, and Ct.vBMD decreased, whereas Tb.Ar increased more rapidly than in men not receiving ADT at both the skeletal sites. Thus, in older men followed up prospectively, low levels of bio-17βE2, and to a smaller extent AFTC, are associated with accelerated cortical bone deterioration. Cortical bone deterioration was strongly accelerated in men receiving ADT who had very low levels of all sex steroids. © 2019 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Several cross-sectional studies have shown that impairment of bone microarchitecture contributes to skeletal fragility. The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate the prediction of fracture (Fx) by bone microarchitecture assessed by high-resolution peripheral computed tomography (HR- pQCT) in postmenopausal women. We measured microarchitecture at the distal radius and tibia with HR-pQCT in the OFELY study, in addition to areal BMD with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in 589 women, mean ± SD age 68 ± 9 years. During a median [IQ] 9.4 [1.0] years of follow-up, 135 women sustained an incident fragility Fx, including 81 women with a major osteoporotic Fx (MOP Fx). After adjustment for age, women who sustained Fx had significantly lower total and trabecular volumetric densities (vBMD) at both sites, cortical parameters (area and thickness at the radius, vBMD at the tibia), trabecular number (Tb.N), connectivity density (Conn.D), stiffness, and estimated failure load at both sites, compared with control women. After adjustment for age, current smoking, falls, prior Fx, use of osteoporosis-related drugs, and total hip BMD, each quartile decrease of several baseline values of bone microarchitecture at the radius was associated with significant change of the risk of Fx (HR of 1.39 for Tb.BMD [p = 0.001], 1.32 for Tb.N [p = 0.01], 0.76 for Tb.Sp.SD [p = 0.01], 1.49 [p = 0.01] for Conn.D, and 1.27 for stiffness [p = 0.02]). At the tibia, the association remained significant for stiffness and failure load in the multivariate model for all fragility Fx and for Tt.BMD, stiffness, and failure load for MOP Fx. We conclude that impairment of bone microarchitecture-essentially in the trabecular compartment of the radius-predict the occurrence of incident fracture in postmenopausal women. This assessment may play an important role in identifying women at high risk of fracture who could not be adequately detected by BMD measurement alone, to benefit from a therapeutic intervention. © 2017 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
The relationships between body composition and bone mineral density are well established but the contribution of body composition to the risk of fracture (Fx) has rarely been evaluated prospectively. We analyzed the risk of Fx by body composition in 595 postmenopausal women (mean age 66±8years) from a longitudinal cohort study (Os des Femmes de Lyon). We assessed the risk of the first incident fragility Fx according to body composition obtained from whole-body DXA: abdominal visceral (VFAT) and subcutaneous fat mass (SFAT), total body fat mass (FM), lean mass index (LMI) and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI). During a median [IQ] follow-up of 13.1years [1.9], 138 women sustained a first incident Fx, including 85 women with a major osteoporotic Fx (MOP Fx: hip, clinical spine, humerus or wrist). After adjustment for age, women who sustained Fx had lower BMI (-4%, p=0.01), LMI (-6%, p=0.002) and ASMI (-3%, p=0.003), compared with women without Fx. After adjustment for age, prevalent Fx, physical activity, incident falls and FN BMD, each SD increase of baseline values of LMI and ASMI was associated with decreased Fx risk with adjusted hazard ratios of 0.76 for both of p≤0.02. Those associations were similar after accounting for the competing risk of death. VFAT and SFAT were associated with Fx risk in the multivariate model only for MOP Fx and the association did not persist after consideration of competing mortality. We conclude that lean mass and appendicular muscle mass indexes are associated with the risk of fracture in postmenopausal women independently of BMD and clinical risk factors.

Abstract
Increased fracture risk has been associated with weight loss in postmenopausal women, but the time course over which this occurs has not been established. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of unintentional weight loss of ≥10 lb (4.5 kg) in postmenopausal women on fracture risk at multiple sites up to 5 years after weight loss. Using data from the Global Longitudinal Study of Osteoporosis in Women (GLOW), we analyzed the relationships between self-reported unintentional weight loss of ≥10 lb at baseline, year 2, or year 3 and incident clinical fracture in the years after weight loss. Complete data were available in 40,179 women (mean age ± SD 68 ± 8.3 years). Five-year cumulative fracture rate was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and adjusted hazard ratios for weight loss as a time-varying covariate were calculated from Cox multiple regression models. Unintentional weight loss at baseline was associated with a significantly increased risk of fracture of the clavicle, wrist, spine, rib, hip, and pelvis for up to 5 years after weight loss. Adjusted hazard ratios showed a significant association between unintentional weight loss and fracture of the hip, spine, and clavicle within 1 year of weight loss, and these associations were still present at 5 years. These findings demonstrate increased fracture risk at several sites after unintentional weight loss in postmenopausal women. This increase is found as early as 1 year after weight loss, emphasizing the need for prompt fracture risk assessment and appropriate management to reduce fracture risk in this population. © 2016 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The reported association between sclerostin and diabetes mellitus or abdominal fat may be biased by body size and bone mass. In older men, the association between serum sclerostin levels and metabolic syndrome lost significance after adjustment for bone mass. The association between sclerostin and energy metabolism needs further clarification. INTRODUCTION Sclerostin is associated with abdominal fat, but this relationship may be biased since both are associated with body size and bone mass. Osteocalcin is a bone-derived hormone regulating energy metabolism. We assessed the association between serum sclerostin and metabolic syndrome (MetS) accounting for whole body mineral content (BMC) and osteocalcin. METHODS We studied 694 men aged 51-85 who had serum osteocalcin and sclerostin measurements. RESULTS Sclerostin was higher in 216 men with MetS compared with those without MetS (p < 0.005). Average sclerostin level increased significantly across the increasing number of MetS components. In multivariable models, higher sclerostin was associated with higher odds of MetS (odds ratio (OR) = 1.24/1 standard deviation (SD) increase [95 % confidence interval (95 % CI), 1.01-1.51]; p < 0.05). After further adjustment for BMC, the association of MetS with sclerostin lost significance, whereas that with osteocalcin remained significant. Men who were simultaneously in the highest sclerostin quartile and the lowest osteocalcin quartile had higher odds of MetS (OR = 2.14 [95 % CI, 1.15-4.18]; p < 0.05) vs. men being in the three lower sclerostin quartiles and three upper osteocalcin quartiles. After adjustment for whole body BMC, the association lost significance. CONCLUSIONS Higher sclerostin level is associated with MetS severity; however, this association may be related to higher whole body BMC. The adjustment for BMC had no impact on the association between MetS and osteocalcin. Clinical cross-sectional studies do not elucidate the potential role of sclerostin in the regulation of energy metabolism and direct experimental approach is necessary.

Abstract
Because single-center studies have reported conflicting associations between microarchitecture and fracture prevalence, we included high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) data from five centers worldwide into a large multicenter analysis of postmenopausal women with and without fracture. Volumetric BMD (vBMD) and microarchitecture were assessed at the distal radius and tibia in 1379 white postmenopausal women (age 67 ± 8 years); 470 (34%) had at least one fracture including 349 with a major fragility fracture. Age, height, weight, and total hip T-score differed across centers and were employed as covariates in analyses. Women with fracture had higher BMI, were older, and had lower total hip T-score, but lumbar spine T-score was similar between groups. At the radius, total and trabecular vBMD and cortical thickness were significantly lower in fractured women in three out of five centers, and trabecular number in two centers. Similar results were found at the tibia. When data from five centers were combined, however, women with fracture had significantly lower total, trabecular, and cortical vBMD (2% to 7%), lower trabecular number (4% to 5%), and thinner cortices (5% to 6%) than women without fracture after adjustment for covariates. Results were similar at the radius and tibia. Similar results were observed with analysis restricted to major fragility fracture, vertebral and hip fractures, and peripheral fracture (at the radius). When focusing on osteopenic women, each SD decrease of total and trabecular vBMD was associated with a significantly increased risk of major fragility fracture (OR = 1.55 to 1.88, p < 0.01) after adjustment for covariates. Moreover, trabecular architecture modestly improved fracture discrimination beyond peripheral total vBMD. In conclusion, we observed differences by center in the magnitude of fracture/nonfracture differences at both the distal radius and tibia. However, when data were pooled across centers and the sample size increased, we observed significant and consistent deficits in vBMD and microarchitecture independent of total hip T-score in all postmenopausal white women with fracture and in the subgroup of osteopenic women, compared to women who never had a fracture. © 2016 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Odanacatib is a cathepsin K inhibitor developed for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. It is a bone resorption inhibitor, but which preserves bone formation to some extent. It can be administered once a week, in tablets also containing vitamin D. In a large clinical development program, it has been shown that odanacatib reduces bone resorption, with a reduction of about 60-70% in biochemical markers of resorption, while bone formation decreases to a lesser magnitude. Odanacatib continuously increases bone mineral density (BMD) at the hip and lumbar spine over 5 years. Once it is stopped, a complete resolution of effect is observed, with declining BMD and increased bone turnover. Bone microarchitecture and bone strength have also been improved in clinical trials using quantitative computed tomography (QCT) at the lumbar spine and hip, and high resolution peripheral QCT at the distal radius and tibia. In a phase III trial involving 16,713 postmenopausal women ⩾65 years of age with low BMD, the risk of fragility fracture was significantly reduced at the spine, hip and other nonvertebral sites compared with the placebo group. Odanacatib has been generally well tolerated, with no observation of osteonecrosis of the jaw so far, but with exceptional observations of subtrochanteric atypical fracture and morphea-like lesions. Odanacatib appears a useful new option in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
CONTEXT Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a major determinant of fragility fractures (Fx), but its very long-term prediction is poorly documented. OBJECTIVE We analyzed the risk of Fx beyond 10 years in women. DESIGN In a longitudinal cohort study (Os des Femmes de Lyon), we studied 867 women aged 40 years and older (mean age 59 ± 10 y) over 20 years. MAIN OUTCOME We assessed the risk of the first incident Fx according to the baseline BMD obtained by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, clinical risk factors, and the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX). RESULTS During a median (interquartile range) follow-up of 20 years (3), 245 women sustained one or more incident fragility Fx. Women who sustained a first Fx beyond 10 years (Fx 10-20, n = 109) were younger and had lower values of FRAX compared with those in the first 10 years (Fx 0-10, n = 136). After adjustment for age, they still had greater grip strength and BMD. Parental hip Fx was associated with an increased risk of Fx 10-20 but contrasting with Fx 0-10, the risk of Fx 10-20 was not associated with age, previous Fx, and FRAX except in women younger than 70 years. Each SD decrease of BMD at the spine, femoral neck, total hip, and ultradistal radius was associated with an increased risk of Fx 10-20 with adjusted odds ratios [95% confidence interval (CI)] of 1.43 (95% CI 1.12-1.82), 1.39 (95% CI 1.08-1.82), 1.47 (95% CI 1.14-1.89), and 2.00 (95% CI 1.47-2.7). Women with osteoporosis had an increased risk of both Fx 0-10 and Fx 10-20 compared with women with normal BMD, whereas osteopenia was not associated with a higher risk of Fx beyond 10 years. CONCLUSIONS Low BMD in women is significantly associated with an increased risk of Fx over 20 years. Beyond 10 years, the prediction conferred by baseline BMD was better than that from clinical risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone has emerged as an endocrine organ regulating energy metabolism through secretion of osteocalcin. In epidemiological studies, presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) was associated with lower osteocalcin level. OBJECTIVES We evaluated whether osteocalcin level was associated with MetS severity in men and whether it was more strongly associated with MetS compared with N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), and C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (βCTX). METHODS We included 798 men aged 51-85 years for total osteocalcin measurement. Number of MetS criteria was used to define severity. We used polytomous logistic regression to assess the relationship between MetS severity and osteocalcin level. RESULTS Thirty percent of men had MetS. In patients with MetS, the higher the number of MetS traits were present, the lower was the average osteocalcin level (0-2 criteria: 551 men: 19.5±6.7 ng/ml, three criteria: 155 men: 19.3±7.4 ng/ml, four criteria: 72 men: 17.3±5.7 ng/ml, and five criteria: 20 men: 15.0±5.1 ng/ml; P for trend=0.002).In the polytomous logistic regression model, an increase in osteocalcin level of 10 ng/ml was associated with lower prevalence of severe MetS: three criteria (odds ratio (OR)=0.93 (0.70-1.24)), four criteria (OR=0.54 (0.34-0.84)), and five criteria (OR=0.28 (0.10-0.82)) in comparison with no MetS (P for trend=0.008).After adjustment, using stepwise analysis of the polytomous logistic regression model, we observed that osteocalcin, age, and apparent free testosterone entered in the model but not other bone markers (PINP, βCTX, and BAP). CONCLUSION In older Caucasian men, total osteocalcin level was associated with MetS severity. Osteocalcin was more strongly associated with MetS severity than other bone turnover markers.

Abstract
CONTEXT Several fracture prediction models that combine fractures at different sites into a composite outcome are in current use. However, to the extent individual fracture sites have differing risk factor profiles, model discrimination is impaired. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to improve model discrimination by developing a 5-year composite fracture prediction model for fracture sites that display similar risk profiles. DESIGN This was a prospective, observational cohort study. SETTING The study was conducted at primary care practices in 10 countries. PATIENTS Women aged 55 years or older participated in the study. INTERVENTION Self-administered questionnaires collected data on patient characteristics, fracture risk factors, and previous fractures. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE The main outcome is time to first clinical fracture of hip, pelvis, upper leg, clavicle, or spine, each of which exhibits a strong association with advanced age. RESULTS Of four composite fracture models considered, model discrimination (c index) is highest for an age-related fracture model (c index of 0.75, 47 066 women), and lowest for Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) major fracture and a 10-site model (c indices of 0.67 and 0.65). The unadjusted increase in fracture risk for an additional 10 years of age ranges from 80% to 180% for the individual bones in the age-associated model. Five other fracture sites not considered for the age-associated model (upper arm/shoulder, rib, wrist, lower leg, and ankle) have age associations for an additional 10 years of age from a 10% decrease to a 60% increase. CONCLUSIONS After examining results for 10 different bone fracture sites, advanced age appeared the single best possibility for uniting several different sites, resulting in an empirically based composite fracture risk model.

Abstract
Fractures may be associated with higher morbidity in obese postmenopausal women than in nonobese women. We compared health-care utilization, functional status, and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in obese, nonobese, and underweight women with fractures. Information from the GLOW study, started in 2006, was collected at baseline and at 1, 2, and 3 years. In this subanalysis, self-reported incident clinical fractures, health-care utilization, HRQL, and functional status were recorded and examined. Women in GLOW (n = 60,393) were aged ≥55 years, from 723 physician practices at 17 sites in 10 countries. Complete data for fracture and body mass index were available for 90 underweight, 3,270 nonobese, and 941 obese women with one or more incident clinical fractures during the 3-year follow-up. The median hospital length of stay, adjusted for age, comorbidities, and fracture type, was significantly greater in obese than nonobese women (6 vs. 5 days, p = 0.017). Physical function and vitality score were significantly worse in obese than in nonobese women, both before and after fracture; but changes after fracture were similar across groups. Use of antiosteoporosis medication was significantly lower in obese than in nonobese or underweight women. In conclusion, obese women with fracture undergo a longer period of hospitalization for treatment and have poorer functional status and HRQL than nonobese women. Whether these differences translate into higher economic costs and adverse effects on longer-term outcomes remains to be established.

Abstract
Low body mass index (BMI) is a well-established risk factor for fracture in postmenopausal women. Height and obesity have also been associated with increased fracture risk at some sites. We investigated the relationships of weight, BMI, and height with incident clinical fracture in a practice-based cohort of postmenopausal women participating in the Global Longitudinal study of Osteoporosis in Women (GLOW). Data were collected at baseline and at 1, 2, and 3 years. For hip, spine, wrist, pelvis, rib, upper arm/shoulder, clavicle, ankle, lower leg, and upper leg fractures, we modeled the time to incident self-reported fracture over a 3-year period using the Cox proportional hazards model and fitted the best linear or nonlinear models containing height, weight, and BMI. Of 52,939 women, 3628 (6.9%) reported an incident clinical fracture during the 3-year follow-up period. Linear BMI showed a significant inverse association with hip, clinical spine, and wrist fractures: adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence intervals [CIs]) per increase of 5 kg/m(2) were 0.80 (0.71-0.90), 0.83 (0.76-0.92), and 0.88 (0.83-0.94), respectively (all p < 0.001). For ankle fractures, linear weight showed a significant positive association: adjusted HR per 5-kg increase 1.05 (1.02-1.07) (p < 0.001). For upper arm/shoulder and clavicle fractures, only linear height was significantly associated: adjusted HRs per 10-cm increase were 0.85 (0.75-0.97) (p = 0.02) and 0.73 (0.57-0.92) (p = 0.009), respectively. For pelvic and rib fractures, the best models were for nonlinear BMI or weight (p = 0.05 and 0.03, respectively), with inverse associations at low BMI/body weight and positive associations at high values. These data demonstrate that the relationships between fracture and weight, BMI, and height are site-specific. The different associations may be mediated, at least in part, by effects on bone mineral density, bone structure and geometry, and patterns of falling.

Abstract
Several recent studies suggest that obesity may be a risk factor for fracture. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and future fracture risk at different skeletal sites. In prospective cohorts from more than 25 countries, baseline data on BMI were available in 398,610 women with an average age of 63 (range, 20-105) years and follow up of 2.2 million person-years during which 30,280 osteoporotic fractures (6457 hip fractures) occurred. Femoral neck BMD was measured in 108,267 of these women. Obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m(2) ) was present in 22%. A majority of osteoporotic fractures (81%) and hip fractures (87%) arose in non-obese women. Compared to a BMI of 25 kg/m(2) , the hazard ratio (HR) for osteoporotic fracture at a BMI of 35 kg/m(2) was 0.87 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.85-0.90). When adjusted for bone mineral density (BMD), however, the same comparison showed that the HR for osteoporotic fracture was increased (HR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.09-1.23). Low BMI is a risk factor for hip and all osteoporotic fracture, but is a protective factor for lower leg fracture, whereas high BMI is a risk factor for upper arm (humerus and elbow) fracture. When adjusted for BMD, low BMI remained a risk factor for hip fracture but was protective for osteoporotic fracture, tibia and fibula fracture, distal forearm fracture, and upper arm fracture. When adjusted for BMD, high BMI remained a risk factor for upper arm fracture but was also a risk factor for all osteoporotic fractures. The association between BMI and fracture risk is complex, differs across skeletal sites, and is modified by the interaction between BMI and BMD. At a population level, high BMI remains a protective factor for most sites of fragility fracture. The contribution of increasing population rates of obesity to apparent decreases in fracture rates should be explored.

Abstract
Background TNFα blockers have drastically improved rheumatoid arthritis prognosis by preventing joint destruction in DMARD resistant patients. Altering cytokine balance in immune diseases may expose to paradoxical adverse events. Case presentation We present the case of a 40-year-old woman, with a confirmed erosive and seropositive RA, successfully treated by TNFα blocker (etanercept) for seven years, and who developed a severe neurosarcoidosis. She had lymphocytic meningitis, bilateral peripheral facial paralysis and anosmia, associated with bilateral hilar lymph nodes, papilloedema, anterior uveitis and elevated serum angiotensin-converting enzyme level. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a bilateral thickening of the Gasser’s ganglia walls and enhanced signal of the vestibulocochlear, the facial and the proximal portion of trijeminal nerves. Conclusion This case raised the issue of the imputability of etanercept in the development of neurosarcoidosis. Neurological symptoms onset in patients on TNFα blockers should lead to exclude infections, induced lupus but also paradoxical neurosarcoidosis.

Abstract
Objective To examine when, where and how fractures occur in postmenopausal women. Methods We analyzed data from the Global Longitudinal Study of Osteoporosis in Women (GLOW), including women aged ≥55 years from the United States of America, Canada, Australia and seven European countries. Women completed questionnaires including fracture data at baseline and years 1, 2 and 3. Results Among 60,393 postmenopausal women, 4122 incident fractures were reported (86% non-hip, non-vertebral [NHNV], 8% presumably clinical vertebral and 6% hip). Hip fractures were more likely to occur in spring, with little seasonal variation for NHNV or spine fractures. Hip fractures occurred equally inside or outside the home, whereas 65% of NHNV fractures occurred outside and 61% of vertebral fractures occurred inside the home. Falls preceded 68–86% of NHNV and 68–83% of hip fractures among women aged ≤64 to ≥85 years, increasing with age. About 45% of vertebral fractures were associated with falls in all age groups except those ≥85 years, when only 24% occurred after falling. Conclusion In this multi-national cohort, fractures occurred throughout the year, with only hip fracture having a seasonal variation, with a higher proportion in spring. Hip fractures occurred equally within and outside the home, spine fractures more often in the home, and NHNV fractures outside the home. Falls were a proximate cause of most hip and NHNV fractures. Postmenopausal women at risk for fracture need counseling about reducing potentially modifiable fracture risk factors, particularly falls both inside and outside the home and during all seasons of the year.

Abstract
Obesity is associated with higher areal bone density (aBMD) but its protective effect on the risk of fracture is controversial. We aimed to analyze bone microarchitecture and biomechanical properties in obese (OB) postmenopausal French women compared with normal weight (NW) women. A matched case-control study from the Os des Femmes de Lyon (OFELY) cohort was conducted in 63 OB women (body mass index [BMI] > 30, mean age 69 ± 8 years) age-matched with 126 NW women (19 ≤ BMI ≤ 25). Bone architecture was measured with high-resolution pQCT at the distal radius and tibia and bone strength was assessed by micro-finite element analysis (µFEA). aBMD, total body fat mass (FM) and lean mass (LM) were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). aBMD was 15% higher at the total hip in OB compared with NW women. At the radius, OB had 13% and 14% higher volumetric total and trabecular bone densities, 11% higher cortical thickness, 13% greater trabecular number, and 22% lower distribution of trabecular separation compared with NW (p adjusted for height, physical activity, and medication use, <0.01 for all). Differences of a similar magnitude were found at the distal tibia. At both sites, µFEA showed significant higher values of bone strength in OB compared to controls. After normalizing values for individual body weight, we observed that all the parameters were relatively lower in OB compared to NW women. The increase of FM was fourfold greater than the increase of LM in OB. The effect of FM on bone parameters was more pronounced at the tibia compared to the non-weight-bearing site. Nevertheless, the coefficients of correlation were about one-half of those of LM for the biomechanical parameters. We conclude that higher absolute values of bone densities, cortical and trabecular architecture, and strength indices were not in proportion to the excess of BMI and particularly of FM in obese postmenopausal French women.

Abstract
CONTEXT Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is an indicator of cardiovascular risk, especially in the diseases characterized by insulin resistance such as type 2 diabetes. Osteocalcin is a bone-secreted hormone that favors insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion. OBJECTIVES We investigated whether total serum osteocalcin level at baseline is associated with AAC progression and 10-year all-cause mortality in elderly men. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS We assessed 774 men aged 51-85 years from the MINOS cohort who had osteocalcin measurement and lumbar spine radiographs at baseline. They were followed-up prospectively for 10 years. Among them, 615 patients had a follow-up radiograph at 3.5 or 7 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Serum total osteocalcin was measured with an immunoradiometric assay on morning fasting serum collected at baseline. Kauppila's AAC score was assessed from lumbar spine radiographs. AAC progression rate was calculated as the difference between AAC on the last available radiograph and AAC at baseline divided by the follow-up time. Death status was collected over 10 years. RESULTS In multivariate analysis, higher baseline total osteocalcin was associated with lower AAC progression rate (odds ratio = 0.74 [0.57-0.97] per 10 ng/mL variation; P = 0.029). At the 10-year follow-up, there were 599 men alive (77%), 181 dead (23%), and 2 lost to follow-up. Higher osteocalcin was associated with lower 10-year all-cause mortality (hazard ratio = 0.62 [0.44-0.86] per 10 ng/mL variation; P = 0.005). CONCLUSION Higher baseline total osteocalcin concentrations were associated with lower AAC progression rate and lower mortality. These data suggest that osteocalcin level might be an independent indicator of cardiovascular risk and global health in elderly Caucasian men.

Abstract
SUMMARY Sclerostin is a key regulator of bone formation. In a population of 572 postmenopausal women (mean age, 67 years) followed prospectively for a median of 6 years, there was no significant association between baseline levels of serum sclerostin and incidence of all fractures which occurred in 64 subjects. INTRODUCTION Sclerostin, an osteocyte soluble factor, is a major negative regulator of osteoblastic activity. Circulating sclerostin levels were reported to increase with age and to be modestly associated with bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover, but there are no data on the association with fracture risk. METHODS We investigated 572 postmenopausal women (mean age, 67 ± 8.5 years) from the OFELY population-based cohort. The associations of serum sclerostin measured with a new two-site ELISA and spine and hip BMD by DXA, serum β-isomerized C-terminal crosslinking of type I collagen (CTX), intact N-terminal propeptide of type I collagen (PINP), intact PTH, 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], estradiol, testosterone, and fracture risk were analyzed. At the time of sclerostin measurements, 98 postmenopausal women had prevalent fractures. After a median of 6 years (interquartile range, 5-7 years) follow-up, 64 postmenopausal sustained an incident fracture. RESULTS Serum sclerostin correlated positively with spine (r = 0.35, p < 0.0001) and total hip (r = 0.25, <0.0001) BMD. Conversely, serum sclerostin was weakly negatively associated with the bone markers PINP (r = -0.10, p = 0.014) and CTX (r = -0.13, p = 0.0026) and with intact PTH (r = -0.13, p = 0.0064). There was no significant association of serum sclerostin with 25(OH)D, estradiol, free estradiol index, or testosterone. Serum sclerostin considered as a continuous variable or in quartiles was not significantly associated with the risk of prevalent or incident fracture. CONCLUSION Serum sclerostin is weakly correlated with BMD, bone turnover, and PTH in postmenopausal women. It was not significantly associated with the risk of all fractures, although the number of incident fractures recorded may not allow detecting a modest association.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To test whether women aged 55 and older with increasing evidence of a frailty phenotype would have greater risk of fractures, disability, and recurrent falls than women who were not frail, across geographic areas (Australia, Europe, and North America) and age groups. DESIGN Multinational, longitudinal, observational cohort study. SETTING Global Longitudinal Study of Osteoporosis in Women (GLOW). PARTICIPANTS Women (N = 48,636) aged 55 and older enrolled at sites in Australia, Europe, and North America. MEASUREMENTS Components of frailty (slowness and weakness, poor endurance and exhaustion, physical activity, and unintentional weight loss) at baseline and report of fracture, disability, and recurrent falls at 1 year of follow-up were investigated. Women also reported health and demographic characteristics at baseline. RESULTS Women younger than 75 from the United States were more likely to be prefrail and frail than those from Australia, Canada, and Europe. The distribution of frailty was similar according to region for women aged 75 and older. Odds ratios from multivariable models for frailty versus nonfrailty were 1.23 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.07-1.42) for fracture, 2.29 (95% CI = 2.09-2.51) for disability, and 1.68 (95% CI = 1.54-1.83) for recurrent falls. The associations for prefrailty versus nonfrailty were weaker but still indicated statistically significantly greater risk of each outcome. Overall, associations between frailty and each outcome were similar across age and geographic region. CONCLUSION Greater evidence of a frailty phenotype is associated with greater risk of fracture, disability, and falls in women aged 55 and older in 10 countries, with similar patterns across age and geographic region.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We have examined the effect of oral monthly ibandronate on distal radius and tibia microarchitecture with high-resolution peripheral quantitative tomography compared with placebo, in women with osteopenia, and found that ibandronate did not significantly affect trabecular bone but improved cortical density and thickness at the tibia. METHODS We have examined the effect of ibandronate on bone microarchitecture with peripheral high-resolution quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) in a randomized placebo-controlled trial among 148 women with osteopenia. Patients received either oral 150 mg monthly ibandronate or placebo over 24 months. Bone microarchitecture was assessed at baseline, 6, 12, and 24 months, using HR-pQCT at the distal radius and tibia; areal bone mineral density (aBMD) was measured with DXA at the spine, hip, and radius. RESULTS At 12 months, there was no significant difference in trabecular bone volume at the radius (the primary end point) between women on ibandronate (10.8 ± 2.5%) and placebo (10.5 ± 2.9%), p = 0.25. There was no significant difference in other radius trabecular and cortical microarchitecture parameters at 12 and 24 months. In contrast, at the tibia, cortical vBMD in the ibandronate group was significantly greater than in the placebo group at 6, 12, and 24 months, with better cortical thickness at 6, 12, and 24 months. With ibandronate, aBMD was significantly increased at the hip and spine at 12 and 24 months but at the radius was significantly superior to placebo only at 24 months. Most of the adverse events related to ibandronate were expected with bisphosphonate use, and none of them were serious. CONCLUSION We conclude that 12 months of treatment with ibandronate in women with osteopenia did not affect trabecular bone microarchitecture, but improved cortical vBMD at the tibia at 12 and 24 months, and preserved cortical thickness at the tibia.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Among 50,461 postmenopausal women, 1,822 fractures occurred (57% minor non-hip, non-vertebral [NHNV], 26% major NHNV, 10% spine, 7% hip) over 1 year. Spine fractures had the greatest detrimental effect on EQ-5D, followed by major NHNV and hip fractures. Decreases in physical function and health status were greatest for spine or hip fractures. INTRODUCTION There is growing evidence that NHNV fractures result in substantial morbidity and healthcare costs. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the effect of these NHNV fractures on quality of life. METHODS We analyzed the 1-year incidences of hip, spine, major NHNV (pelvis/leg, shoulder/arm) and minor NHNV (wrist/hand, ankle/foot, rib/clavicle) fractures among women from the Global Longitudinal study of Osteoporosis in Women (GLOW). Health-related quality of life (HRQL) was analyzed using the EuroQol EQ-5D tool and the SF-36 health survey. RESULTS Among 50,461 women analyzed, there were 1,822 fractures (57% minor NHNV, 26% major NHNV, 10% spine, 7% hip) over 1 year. Spine fractures had the greatest detrimental effect on EQ-5D summary scores, followed by major NHNV and hip fractures. The number of women with mobility problems increased most for those with major NHNV and spine fractures (both +8%); spine fractures were associated with the largest increases in problems with self care (+11%), activities (+14%), and pain/discomfort (+12%). Decreases in physical function and health status were greatest for those with spine or hip fractures. Multivariable modeling found that EQ-5D reduction was greatest for spine fractures, followed by hip and major/minor NHNV. Statistically significant reductions in SF-36 physical function were found for spine fractures, and were borderline significant for major NHNV fractures. CONCLUSION This prospective study shows that NHNV fractures have a detrimental effect on HRQL. Efforts to optimize the care of osteoporosis patients should include the prevention of NHNV fractures.

Abstract
Iliac crest bone biopsies are used to assess the mechanism of action of drug treatments, yet there are little data comparing this site to sites prone to fracture. The purpose of this study was to compare the delay and the amplitude of responses to treatment in two different bone sites. The short-term effects of zoledronic acid and teriparatide on microarchitecture, collagen crosslinks and bone remodeling were evaluated in iliac crest and lumbar vertebrae. Aged ewes (n=8/gr) received either vehicle (CTRL) or a single injection of zoledronic acid (ZOL, 10mg) or daily injections of teriparatide (TPTD, 20 μg/d) for 3 months. Blood samples were collected monthly for assessing bone turnover markers. At the end of the study, a transiliac bone biopsy (IC) and L1 lumbar vertebrae (LV1) were collected to assess bone microarchitecture; pyridinoline (PYD), deoxypyridinoline (DPD), pentosidine (PEN) content, static and dynamic parameters of bone remodeling. In CTRL, Tb-BV/TV was significantly higher in LV1 than IC (p<0.0001). This was associated with a trend of higher Tb.N, Tb.Th, DA, an inferior Conn.D and a lower bone turnover as shown by the decreases of osteoid parameters, MS/BS, Ac.f in LV1 when compared to IC. In addition, the ratio PYD/DPD was 4 times higher in LV1 than IC. After 3 months, significant decreases of sALP (p<0.001) and sCTX (p<0.001) were observed in the ZOL-group whereas in TPTD-group, after transient increases, they returned to baseline values. When compared to their respective CTRL, ZOL induced significant increases in Tb.BV/TV, Conn.D, Tb.N and Tb.Sp, in IC but not in LV1. Regardless of the site, ZOL markedly depressed the bone turnover: The static parameters of bone formation significantly decreased and the diminution of MS/BS, BFR/BS and Ac.f varied from -94 to -98% vs CTRL (p<0.01 to 0.001). It was associated with a diminution of the DPD content and the PYD/DPD ratio mainly in IC cortices. In contrast, after 3 months, TPTD did not modify the 3D structure and microarchitecture in IC and LV1, except a trend of higher Conn.D in IC, compared to IC-CTRL. TPTD treatment induced a significant increase in cortical porosity in LV1 (p<0.05) when compared to LV1-CTRL. Static parameters of bone formation and resorption were augmented in both sites, significantly only in LV1 (p<0.05) with a trend of increases in MS/BS and BFR/BS, compared to LV1-CTRL. In conclusion, in adult ewes, the bone mass, microarchitecture, remodeling and collagen crosslink content differ according to the bone site (iliac crest and vertebra). Furthermore, after 3 months, the responses to ZOL and TPTD were of different magnitude and delay between the two bone sites. The distinction of bone sites to study the early effects of anti-osteoporotic therapies appears meaningful in order to approach their site-specific anti-fracture efficacy.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The incidence of hip fracture, death and the estimated incidence of major osteoporotic fracture in France were used to determine the lifetime and 10-year probability of fracture and incorporated into a probability model (FRAX®) calibrated to the French population. INTRODUCTION Fracture probabilities in the French population have not been determined. Our aim was to determine the incidence of hip fracture in France and the estimated 10-year probabilities of hip and major osteoporotic fractures. METHODS The study population included adults over 50 years living in France in 2004. Incident hip fracture cases were identified from the French PMSI database. Incidence of the other major osteoporotic fractures was imputed from the relationship between hip fracture incidence and other major fracture in Sweden. These data were used to calculate population-based fracture probabilities according to age and BMD using cutoff values for femoral neck T-scores from the NHANES III data in Caucasian women. The probability model (FRAX®) calibrated to the French population was used to compute individual fracture probabilities according to specific clinical risk factors. RESULTS We identified 15,434 men and 51,469 women with an incident hip fracture. The remaining lifetime probability of hip fracture at 50 years was approximately 10 and 30% respectively. With a femoral neck T-score of -2 SD, one in two women and one in five men would sustain a major osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime. The 10-year probability of other major osteoporotic fractures increased with declining T-score and increasing age. Low body mass index and other clinical risk factors had an independent effect on fracture probability whether or not BMD was included in the FRAX® model. CONCLUSION This analysis provides detailed estimation on the risk of fracture in the French population and may help to define therapeutic guidelines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with osteoarthritis have increased bone mass but no decrease in fractures. The association between self-reported osteoarthritis and incident falls and fractures was studied in postmenopausal women. METHODS The Global Longitudinal Study of Osteoporosis in Women is a prospective multinational cohort of 60,393 non-institutionalised women aged ≥55 years who had visited primary care practices within the previous 2 years. Questionnaires were mailed at yearly intervals. Patients were classified as having osteoarthritis if they answered yes to the question, 'Has a doctor or other health provider ever said that you had osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease?', and this was validated against primary care records in a subsample. Information on incident falls, fractures and covariates was self-reported. Cox and Poisson models were used for incident fractures and number of falls, respectively, to compute hazard ratios (HRs) and rate ratios (RRs) for baseline osteoarthritis status. RESULTS Of 51 386 women followed for a median of 2.9 years (interquartile range 2.1-3.0), 20 409 (40%) reported osteoarthritis. The adjusted HR for osteoarthritis predicting fracture was 1.21 (95% CI 1.13 to 1.30; p<0.0001) and the adjusted RR for falls was 1.24 (95% CI 1.22 to 1.26; p<0.0001). However, the association between osteoarthritis and fracture was not significant after adjustment for incident falls (HR 1.06 (95% CI 0.98 to 1.15; p=0.13)). CONCLUSIONS Postmenopausal women with self-reported osteoarthritis have a 20% increased risk of fracture and experience 25% more falls than those without osteoarthritis. These data suggest that increased falls are the causal pathway of the association between osteoarthritis and fractures.

Abstract
One of the most common complications of fibrous dysplasia of bone (FD) is bone pain. Usual pain killers are often of inadequate efficacy to control this bone pain. The mechanism of bone pain in FD remains uncertain, but by analogy with bone tumors one may consider that ectopic sprouting and formation of neuroma-like structures by sensory and sympathetic nerve fibers also occur in the dysplastic skeleton. Bone pain has been reported in up to 81% of adults and 49% of children. It affects predominantly the lower limbs and the spine. The degree of pain is highly variable and adults reports more pain than children. Bisphosphonates have been shown to reduce bone pain in uncontrolled studies. Their influence on bone strength remains unknown. In a randomized trial testing alendronate, bone pain was not significantly improved. Another trial assessing the effect of risedronate is ongoing. Possible future therapies include tocilizumab, denosumab and drugs targeting nerve growth factor and its receptor TrkA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Treatments against osteoporosis have demonstrated fracture risk reduction but persistence to therapy remains a major issue. Intermittent regimens have been developed to improve persistence. The aim of this 1-year prospective study was to compare, in the general population, the persistence of various oral regimens of antiosteoporotic treatment. METHODS We conducted this prospective study in the French comprehensive public health insurance database of the Rhône-Alpes region. Women aged 45 years or older who had a first reimbursement of an oral antiosteoporotic treatment during February 2007 composed the study cohort. Persistence was defined by the proportion of patients refilling a prescription in the pharmacist delivery register (ERASME). Using statistical analyses like Kaplan-Meier survival curves and log-rank tests, we compared the treatment persistence of strontium ranelate, raloxifene, and daily-, weekly-, and monthly bisphosphonates. RESULTS Two thousand four hundred and nineteen patients were included over a period of 1 month and followed up for 12 months. Two hundred and eighty-nine (11.9%) patients were treated with monthly bisphosphonates, 1298 (53.7%) with weekly bisphosphonates, and 832 (34.4%) with daily treatments (526 strontium ranelate (21.7%), 296 raloxifene (12.2%), and 10 bisphosphonates (0.4%)). At 1 year, overall persistence was 34%. Fifty percent of patients on monthly bisphosphonates were still persistent while only 37% of patients on weekly bisphosphonates, 34% on raloxifene, and 16% on strontium ranelate were persistent. Therapy monitoring with biochemical markers or bone mineral density was associated with improved persistence. CONCLUSION Overall persistence at 1 year was low, but intermittent regimens were associated with higher persistence rates, along with women who had therapy monitoring.

Abstract
Previous fractures of the hip, spine, or wrist are well-recognized predictors of future fracture, but the role of other fracture sites is less clear. We sought to assess the relationship between prior fracture at 10 skeletal locations and incident fracture. The Global Longitudinal Study of Osteoporosis in Women (GLOW) is an observational cohort study being conducted in 17 physician practices in 10 countries. Women aged ≥55 years answered questionnaires at baseline and at 1 and/or 2 years (fractures in previous year). Of 60,393 women enrolled, follow-up data were available for 51,762. Of these, 17.6%, 4.0%, and 1.6% had suffered 1, 2, or ≥3 fractures, respectively, since age 45 years. During the first 2 years of follow-up, 3149 women suffered 3683 incident fractures. Compared with women with no previous fractures, women with 1, 2, or ≥3 prior fractures were 1.8-, 3.0-, and 4.8-fold more likely to have any incident fracture; those with ≥3 prior fractures were 9.1-fold more likely to sustain a new vertebral fracture. Nine of 10 prior fracture locations were associated with an incident fracture. The strongest predictors of incident spine and hip fractures were prior spine fracture (hazard ratio [HR] = 7.3) and hip (HR = 3.5). Prior rib fractures were associated with a 2.3-fold risk of subsequent vertebral fracture, and previous upper leg fracture predicted a 2.2-fold increased risk of hip fracture. Women with a history of ankle fracture were at 1.8-fold risk of future fracture of a weight-bearing bone. Our findings suggest that a broad range of prior fracture sites are associated with an increased risk of incident fractures, with important implications for clinical assessments and risk model development.

Abstract
Long-term body composition (BC) changes and their determinants have been rarely explored. We aimed to evaluate BC changes in French women from the Os des Femmes de Lyon (OFELY) cohort and to explore several determinants of those changes. At baseline, premenopausal (PreM) women (n = 145) had lower fat body mass (FM) and greater lean body mass (LM), relative skeletal muscle mass index (RASM), and total body bone mineral content (TBBMC) compared with untreated postmenopausal (PostM) women (n = 412). During a 6-year follow-up, LM and RASM did not change, whereas a significant increase of FM and a decrease of TBBMC were observed in PreM (n = 88) and PeriM women (n = 44; women who became PostM during the follow-up). In untreated PostM women, FM increased, whereas LM, RASM, and TBBMC decreased (p < 0.0001). Age was a significant determinant of the changes in BC. After controlling for age, menopausal status was still a significant determinant only for changes in TBBMC. FM, LM, RASM, and TBBMC were higher in women with normal bone mineral density (BMD) compared with women with osteopenia or osteoporosis (p < 0.0001), but after adjusting for age, changes of BC were not significantly different according to the bone status. After controlling for age and menopausal status, levels of P1NP in the highest quartile were associated with a greater decrease of LM and RASM compared with lower levels. In conclusion, BC changes in French women over a 6-year follow-up showed a high interindividual variability. Aging may be the most important determinant of changes in body composition, rather than menopausal and bone status.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Strontium ranelate appears to influence more than alendronate distal tibia bone microstructure as assessed by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT), and biomechanically relevant parameters as assessed by micro-finite element analysis (μFEA), over 2 years, in postmenopausal osteoporotic women. INTRODUCTION Bone microstructure changes are a target in osteoporosis treatment to increase bone strength and reduce fracture risk. METHODS Using HR-pQCT, we investigated the effects on distal tibia and radius microstructure of strontium ranelate (SrRan; 2 g/day) or alendronate (70 mg/week) for 2 years in postmenopausal osteoporotic women. This exploratory randomized, double-blind trial evaluated HR-pQCT and FEA parameters, areal bone mineral density (BMD), and bone turnover markers. RESULTS In the intention-to-treat population (n = 83, age: 64 ± 8 years; lumbar T-score: -2.8 ± 0.8 [DXA]), distal tibia Cortical Thickness (CTh) and Density (DCort), and cancellous BV/TV increased by 6.3%, 1.4%, and 2.5%, respectively (all P < 0.005), with SrRan, but not with alendronate (0.9%, 0.4%, and 0.8%, NS) (P < 0.05 for all above between-group differences). Difference for CTh evaluated with a distance transformation method was close to significance (P = 0.06). The estimated failure load increased with SrRan (+2.1%, P < 0.005), not with alendronate (-0.6%, NS) (between-group difference, P < 0.01). Cortical stress was lower with SrRan (P < 0.05); both treatments decreased trabecular stress. At distal radius, there was no between-group difference other than DCort (P < 0.05). Bone turnover markers decreased with alendronate; bALP increased (+21%) and serum-CTX-I decreased (-1%) after 2 years of SrRan (between-group difference at each time point for both markers, P < 0.0001). Both treatments were well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS Within the constraints of HR-pQCT method, and while a possible artefactual contribution of strontium cannot be quantified, SrRan appeared to influence distal tibia bone microstructure and FEA-determined biomechanical parameters more than alendronate. However, the magnitude of the differences is unclear and requires confirmation with another method.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES High resolution peripheral quantitative tomography (HR-pQCT) is used more widely to assess microarchitecture, but we are lacking comparisons between HR-pQCT and histomorphometry, which is considered the gold standard. They have only been assessed on different anatomical regions. The purpose of our study was to assess the microarchitecture and the relative contribution of cortical and trabecular bone in hip fracture with this 3D imaging technique, compared with the 2D histomorphometry. MATERIAL AND METHODS We compared the distribution of cortical and trabecular bone in the ultradistal femoral neck samples (~3mm thick) obtained after total hip replacement in 21 hip osteoarthritis (HOA, 66±8yrs) and 20 hip fracture (HF, 79±8yrs) menopausal women by a direct 3D evaluation method (HR-pQCT: XtremeCT, Scanco Medical AG) and by histomorphometry, performed and averaged on three 10μm-thick sections 800μm apart. RESULTS Significant correlations were found between both techniques for trabecular bone volume, number, thickness, separation and cortical thickness (0.51<r'<0.81, p<0.01). The connectivity was also significantly correlated (r'=0.58, p<0.001) between both techniques, as well as the trabecular bone pattern factor measured in 2D with the structural model index (SMI) measured in 3D (r'=0.62, p<0.001). However HR-pQCT overestimated the absolute value of most parameters, with higher values being even more overestimated. The agreement between the two techniques was weak for cortical porosity. With the 3D measurements we found that trabecular bone volume was 43% lower in HF than HOA (p<0.01), associated with loss of trabecular connectivity (-50%, p<0.01) and a more rod-like structure (SMI, 22%, p<0.01), mainly at the inferior (34%, p<0.01) and posterior (22%, p<0.05) quadrants. Cortical thickness was found to be lower in the posterior quadrants (-22%, p<0.05) and tended to be lower in HF than in HOA at the inferior quadrant (-14%, p=0.08), but it was still the highest at the inferior quadrant in both groups. In conclusion, 3D methods confirmed the alteration of trabecular and cortical bone found by histomorphometry in HF compared with HOA and the frequency of the rod-like structure in HF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Given recent concern about long-term safety of bisphosphonate (BP) therapy, the effects of long-term alendronate (ALN) therapy on intrinsic bone properties were studied among postmenopausal osteoporotic (PMOP) women. DESIGN AND METHODS Transiliac bone biopsies were obtained from 32 outpatient clinic PMOP women treated with oral ALN for 6.4 ± 2.0 years. Variables reflecting bone mineralization were measured both at tissue level using quantitative microradiography and at crystal level by Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy. Bone microhardness was investigated by Vickers indentation tests. RESULTS were compared with those from 22 age-matched untreated PMOP women. Results Long-term treatment with ALN was associated with a 84% (P<0.001) lower remodeling activity compared with untreated PMOP women, leading to an increased degree of mineralization in both cortical and trabecular bone (+9 and +6%, respectively, P<0.05). Despite a more mature and more mineralized bone matrix, after treatment, cortical and trabecular microhardness and crystallinity were lower than that measured in untreated patients. None of the variables reflecting material properties were significantly correlated to the duration of the treatment. CONCLUSION Increased degree of mineralization associated with lower crystallinity and microhardness in ALN long-term-treated PMOP women suggests that ALN could alter the quality of bone matrix. The study also suggested that after 3 years of treatment, the changes in material properties are not dependent on the duration of the treatment. Further studies are requested to assess the short-term (<3 years) effects of BPs on bone intrinsic properties.

Abstract
Microcracks are one of the determinants of the bone strength and their accumulation may contribute to increased fracture risk. They are detected after bulk staining with various dyes, including basic fuschin, calcein and xylenol orange. The duration of staining usually varies across types of bone and species. The ewe is a large animal with a bone remodeling similar to humans, used as an animal model in bone histomorphometry studies. The aim of the present study was to determine the optimal conditions for bulk staining with xylenol orange of ewe bone. Xylenol orange 5mM in 70% ethanol was applied to iliac crest and vertebral biopsies for 2 or 15 days or 1, 2 or 3 months. After embedding, sections of 40, 50 and 80 μm thick were cut with either a precision diamond wire saw or a microtome. The staining was not visible after 2 or 15 days and was heterogeneous after 1 or 2 months. The quality of 40 and 50 μm thick sections was not preserved compared with those of 80 μm. Microcracks were suitably observed on ewe bone after bulk staining with xylenol orange for 3 months, in 80 μm thick sections. We conclude that the staining procedures should differ when examining ewe or human bone. This may be due to differences in bone matrix composition.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Bisphosphonates have been associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation and may thus be associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke. This would have substantial clinical and public health implications. We found no evidence of an association between bisphosphonate use and risk of ischemic stroke. INTRODUCTION Bisphosphonates have been associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation in some studies and may be associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke. However, data regarding these possibilities are limited. METHODS We conducted a population-based case-control study of 6,257 female cases of ischemic stroke and 31,285 age- and gender-matched population controls. Data on bisphosphonate use, other medication use, comorbidity, and ischemic stroke were obtained from medical databases. Current bisphosphonate use was defined as at least one redeemed prescription within 90 days before diagnosis/index date. We estimated the odds ratio (OR) of ischemic stroke among users and nonusers of bisphosphonates using conditional logistic regression, controlling for potential confounding factors. RESULTS One hundred eighty-two (2.9%) cases and 901 (2.9%) controls were current users of bisphosphonates. Etidronate and alendronate were prescribed with similar frequency among cases and controls. The adjusted OR of ischemic stroke for bisphosphonate users compared with nonusers was 0.97 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.82-1.15). New and continuing bisphosphonate users had adjusted ORs for ischemic stroke of 1.16 (95% CI, 0.69-1.96) and 0.97 (95% CI, 0.81-1.16), respectively. Excluding patients with known atrial fibrillation/flutter yielded an OR of 1.00 (95% CI, 0.85-1.19). The OR for ischemic stroke was 0.59 (95% CI, 0.32-1.09) among patients with a history of previous hospitalization for cardiovascular disease and 1.07 (95% CI, 0.88-1.18) among those without (P < 0.001). The OR for former users was 1.23 (95% CI, 1.01-1.49). CONCLUSION We found no evidence of an association of oral bisphosphonate use with the risk of ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that the mechanical properties of trabecular bone are determined by bone volume fraction (BV/TV) and microarchitecture. The purpose of this study was to explore other possible determinants of the mechanical properties of vertebral trabecular bone, namely collagen cross-link content, microdamage, and mineralization. Trabecular bone cores were collected from human L2 vertebrae (n = 49) from recently deceased donors 54-95 years of age (21 men and 27 women). Two trabecular cores were obtained from each vertebra, one for preexisting microdamage and mineralization measurements, and one for BV/TV and quasi-static compression tests. Collagen cross-link content (PYD, DPD, and PEN) was measured on surrounding trabecular bone. Advancing age was associated with impaired mechanical properties, and with increased microdamage, even after adjustment by BV/TV. BV/TV was the strongest determinant of elastic modulus and ultimate strength (r² = 0.44 and 0.55, respectively). Microdamage, mineralization parameters, and collagen cross-link content were not associated with mechanical properties. These data indicate that the compressive strength of human vertebral trabecular bone is primarily determined by the amount of trabecular bone, and notably unaffected by normal variation in other factors, such as cross-link profile, microdamage and mineralization.

Abstract
Inflammatory joint diseases are responsible of chronic systemic inflammation, joint degradations, deformities, and altered quality of life. Patients suffering from chronic rheumatic diseases also present increased bone fragility and increased fracture risk. Registration of biologic therapies has deeply modified care in rheumatic diseases, especially in rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. The available biologics are the anti proinflammatory cytokine therapies (TNFα blockers, anakinra and tocilizumab) and the biologics active on T cell activation (abatacept and rituximab). These drugs succeeded in blocking disease activity and joint degradation. They are also able to stop systemic bone loss among patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases. In this review, we present the current understanding of the inflammatory-induced bone loss and the skeletal effects of biologic therapies in inflammatory joint diseases.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We compared self-perception of fracture risk with actual risk among 60,393 postmenopausal women aged ≥55 years, using data from the Global Longitudinal Study of Osteoporosis in Women (GLOW). Most postmenopausal women with risk factors failed to appreciate their actual risk for fracture. Improved education about osteoporosis risk factors is needed. INTRODUCTION This study seeks to compare self-perception of fracture risk with actual risk among postmenopausal women using data from GLOW. METHODS GLOW is an international, observational, cohort study involving 723 physician practices in 17 sites in ten countries in Europe, North America, and Australia. Participants included 60,393 women ≥55 years attended by their physician during the previous 24 months. The sample was enriched so that two thirds were ≥65 years. Baseline surveys were mailed October 2006 to February 2008. Main outcome measures were self-perception of fracture risk in women with elevated risk vs women of the same age and frequency of risk factors for fragility fracture. RESULTS In the overall study population, 19% (10,951/58,434) of women rated their risk of fracture as a little/much higher than that of women of the same age; 46% (27,138/58,434) said it was similar; 35% (20,345/58,434) believed it to be a little/much lower. Among women whose actual risk was increased based on the presence of any one of seven risk factors for fracture, the proportion who recognized their increased risk ranged from 19% for smokers to 39% for current users of glucocorticoid medication. Only 33% (4,185/12,612) of those with ≥2 risk factors perceived themselves as being at higher risk. Among women reporting a diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis, only 25% and 43%, respectively, thought their risk was increased. CONCLUSION In this international, observational study, most postmenopausal women with risk factors failed to appreciate their actual risk for fracture.
