Abstract
Calcium deficiency is prone to fractures, osteoporosis and other symptoms. In this study, sheep bone protein hydrolysates (SBPHs) were obtained by protease hydrolysis. A low-calcium-diet-induced calcium-deficiency rat model was established to investigate the effects of SBPHs on calcium absorption and intestinal flora composition. The results showed that an SBPHs + CaCl2 treatment significantly increased the bone calcium content, bone mineral density, trabecular bone volume, and trabecular thickness, and reduced trabecular separation, and changed the level of bone turnover markers (P < 0.05). Supplementation of SBPHs + CaCl2 can remarkably enhance the bone mechanical strength, and the microstructure of bone was improved, and the trabecular network was more continuous, complete, and thicker. Additionally, SBPHs + CaCl2 dietary increased the abundance of Firmicutes and reduced the abundance of Proteobacteria and Verrucomicrobiota, and promoted the production of short chain fatty acids. This study indicated that SBPHs promoted calcium absorption and could be applied to alleviate osteoporosis.

Abstract
Previously, we demonstrated that prebiotics may provide a complementary strategy for increasing calcium (Ca) absorption in adolescents which may improve long-term bone health. However, not all children responded to prebiotic intervention. We determine if certain baseline characteristics of gut microbiome composition predict prebiotic responsiveness. In this secondary analysis, we compared differences in relative microbiota taxa abundance between responders (greater than or equal to 3% increase in Ca absorption) and non-responders (less than 3% increase). Dual stable isotope methodologies were used to assess fractional Ca absorption at the end of crossover treatments with placebo, 10, and 20 g/day of soluble corn fiber (SCF). Microbial DNA was obtained from stool samples collected before and after each intervention. Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene was used to taxonomically characterize the gut microbiome. Machine learning techniques were used to build a predictive model for identifying responders based on baseline relative taxa abundances. Model output was used to infer which features contributed most to prediction accuracy. We identified 19 microbial features out of the 221 observed that predicted responsiveness with 96.0% average accuracy. The results suggest a simplified prescreening can be performed to determine if a subject's bone health may benefit from a prebiotic. Additionally, the findings provide insight and prompt further investigation into the metabolic and genetic underpinnings affecting calcium absorption during pubertal bone development.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We examined the association between physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SEB) time with bone health and whether it changes depending on different patterns. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cross-sectional data were derived from the baseline of the Physical Activity and Health in Older Women Study. PA and SEB were measured using Actigraph wGT3X-BT accelerometers. Bone mineral density (BMD) was derived from the SONOST-2000 ultrasound bone densitometer, with unhealthy bone defined as a BMD T-score of <2.5 standard deviation a young adult reference population's mean. A 10 min-bouted SEB was defined as an SEB duration of >10 min (allow 2 min 0 counts), similar to 30 min-bouted and 60 min-bouted SEBs. Sporadic and bouted PAs were defined by PA duration of <10 min or ≥ 10 min. Multivariate logistic regression analysis investigated the associations between PA and SEB patterns with bone health. RESULTS Among 1111 female participants, 42.12 % had unhealthy bones. In a fully-adjusted model, increasing 30 min/day of SEB was associated with a higher odds ratio (OR) for an unhealthy bone (OR, 1.08; P = 0.005), similar to the 10 (OR, 1.06; P = 0.012), 30 (OR, 1.06; P = 0.043), and 60 min-bouted (OR 1.08, P = 0.032) SEBs. Total light PA (LPA) time (OR, 0.97; P = 0.005) had a lower OR for unhealthy bone. After adjusting for sporadic LPA time, bouted LPA (OR, 0.97; P = 0.005) retained this association. No association was observed between total moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) and bone health, sporadic MVPA, and bouted MVPA. CONCLUSIONS Performing bouted LPA and reducing 10 min-bouted SEB may maintain bone health.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to investigate the effect of denosumab on pedal bone health and clinical resolution in active Charcot foot (CN). METHODS This multicentre open-label phase 2 randomised controlled trial recruited adults with diabetes mellitus and active CN within 3 months of onset. Participants were randomised to standard care alone, or with denosumab 60 mg subcutaneously. Denosumab was administered at baseline and again at 6 months, unless foot temperature had normalised (i.e. <2 °C compared to contralateral foot). Co-primary outcomes were change in calcaneal Stiffness Index and foot temperature normalisation over 18 months. RESULTS Twelve participants per group were analysed; mean age 58 ± 11 years, 83 % male and 92 % had type 2 diabetes. Active CN duration was median 8 (IQR 7-12) weeks. Ninety-two percent were Eichenholtz stage 1 and 96 % involved the midfoot. After 1-month, median decline in Stiffness Index was less in the denosumab verses standard care group (0.5 [IQR -1.0 to 3.9] vs -2.8 [-8.5 to -1.0], p = 0.008). At 18-months, 92 % of the denosumab group attained foot temperature normalisation versus 67 % of the standard care group (p = 0.13). CONCLUSIONS Denosumab ameliorated the early decline in calcaneal Stiffness Index associated with active CN. However, no difference in normalisation of foot temperature was observed.

Abstract
A sedentary lifestyle, coupled with a decrease in estrogen, impairs bone homeostasis, favoring to the development of osteopenia and osteoporosis, both recognized as risk factors for fractures. Here, we investigated the quality of the femur, particularly the femur neck region, and the ambulation performance of senescent rats subjected to three different physical training protocols during the periestropause period. Forty-eight female rats, 18 months of age, were subjected to a 120-day training period, three times a week. The rats were distributed into four groups: aerobic training (AT), strength training (ST), concurrent training (CT), or no training (NT). After the experimental period, at 21 months of age, ambulation performance and femur were analyzed using microtomography, Raman stereology, densitometry, and mechanical strength tests. The results demonstrated greater remodeling activity and improvement in resistance and bone microarchitecture in the femur neck of senescent female rats after undergoing physical training. Our verified higher intensities of bands related to collagen, phosphate, amide III, and amide I. Furthermore, the analysis of the secondary collagen structures indicated alterations in the collagen network due to the exercise, resulting in increased bone strength. Both AT and strength-based training proved beneficial, with AT showing greater adaptations in bone density and stiffness in the femur, while strength-based training greater adaptations in trabecular and cortical structure. These insights contribute to the understanding of the potential interventions for preventing osteopenia and osteoporosis, which are critical risk factors for fractures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Consensus/evidence-based recommendations for assessing, managing, and monitoring bone health, pain, and mobility in patients with multiple myeloma were developed. This study was conducted to assess the adherence of the hematologists-oncologists to the consensus/evidence-based recommendations for assessing, managing, and monitoring bone health, pain, and mobility in patients with multiple myeloma who received care in the Palestinian healthcare system. METHODS A mixed method was used in this study. The consensus/evidence-based recommendations were identified through a systematic search in Scopus, PubMed, SpringerLink, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. A panel of 5 researchers (3 hematologists-oncologists, 3 medical students, and 1 pharmacologist) sorted the consensus/evidence-based recommendations and developed the survey tool during 3 iterative meetings. The extent to which the hematologists-oncologists in the 5 centers caring for patients with multiple myeloma adhered to the consensus/evidence-based recommendations was assessed using a questionnaire. RESULTS Responses were collected from 10 hematologists-oncologists in all 5 healthcare centers where patients with multiple myeloma receive healthcare in the West Bank of Palestine. The median number of years in the practice of the hematologists-oncologists was 7.5 [2.75, 14.0] years and the median number of patients with multiple myeloma care per month was 12.5 [7.5, 21.25]. The vast majority (90%) of the hematologists-oncologists reported inadequate adherence to screening for medication problems related to bone health, pain, cardiopulmonary fitness, healthy behaviors, nutritional deficits, and mental health. Of the hematologists-oncologists, 70% reported inadequate adherence to ordering and evaluating calcium, vitamin D, alkaline phosphatase, electrolytes, and phosphorus levels to monitor bone health and 60% reported inadequate adherence to prescribing calcium and vitamin D supplements whenever there was a need. CONCLUSION The findings of this study suggested inadequate adherence to the consensus/evidence-based recommendations and highlighted areas for improvement to ensure that patients receive optimal care. The findings suggested a need for further education and training on the latest guidelines and recommendations. Decision-makers and policymakers might need to design measures and implement policies to improve adherence to the consensus/evidence-based recommendations. Addressing these gaps in adherence to the consensus/evidence-based recommendations may improve the care and outcomes of patients with multiple myeloma.

Abstract
The teenage years represent a crucial period of physical and cognitive growth and development with sufficient micronutrient intakes necessary to meet high nutritional requirements. This review examines current micronutrient intakes in teenagers in the Western world in the context of public health implications including the prevalence of inadequate intakes and risk of excessive intakes. Intakes of vitamins A, D, E and C, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc and potassium in teenagers are low when compared to generally accepted recommendations, while there is little risk of excessive micronutrient intakes based on current dietary patterns. Therefore, strategies should focus on increasing micronutrient intakes in order to decrease the risk of negative impacts resulting from these low intakes. These strategies should be mindful of guidance towards an environmentally sustainable diet whilst ensuring that nutrient intakes in teenagers are not further negatively impacted. In order to identify, implement and monitor the effectiveness of such strategies, intakes of micronutrients should be continually monitored in nationally representative samples of the population for all age groups including this vulnerable cohort of teenagers.

Abstract
Purpose This study sought to examine the utilization of bone health evaluations in geriatric hip fracture patients and identify risk factors for the development of future fragility fractures. Materials and Methods A consecutive series of patients ≥55 years who underwent surgical management of a hip fracture between September 2015 and July 2019 were identified. Chart review was performed to evaluate post-injury follow-up, performance of a bone health evaluation, and use of osteoporosis-related diagnostic and pharmacologic treatment. Results A total of 832 patients were included. The mean age of the patients was 81.2±9.9 years. Approximately 21% of patients underwent a comprehensive bone health evaluation. Of this cohort, 64.7% were started on pharmacologic therapy, and 73 patients underwent bone mineral density testing. Following discharge from the hospital, 70.3% of the patients followed-up on an outpatient basis with 95.7% seeing orthopedic surgery for post-fracture care. Overall, 102 patients (12.3%) sustained additional fragility fractures within two years, and 31 of these patients (3.7%) sustained a second hip fracture. There was no difference in the rate of second hip fractures or other additional fragility fractures based on the use of osteoporosis medications. Conclusion Management of osteoporosis in geriatric hip fracture patients could be improved. Outpatient follow-up post-hip fracture is almost 70%, yet a minority of patients were started on osteoporosis medications and many sustained additional fragility fractures. The findings of this study indicate that orthopedic surgeons have an opportunity to lead the charge in treatment of osteoporosis in the post-fracture setting.

Abstract
Background Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most commonly prescribed medications worldwide for acid-related disorders. While their short-term efficacy and safety are well-established, concerns regarding their long-term effects on bone health have emerged. This umbrella review aimed to synthesize the available findings on the associations between PPI use and bone metabolism outcomes. Methods An electronic search was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Database up to September 16, 2023. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies that evaluated the relationship between PPIs and bone metabolism outcomes were included. Data extraction, quality appraisal, and synthesis were performed in line with the Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA guidelines. The strength of the evidence was graded using the GRADE criteria. Statistical analysis was performed in R version 4.3. Results Out of 299 records, 27 studies met the inclusion criteria. The evidence indicated a statistically significant increased risk of fractures, notably hip, spine, and wrist fractures, in PPI users. PPI use was associated with changes in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) across various bones, though the clinical relevance of these changes remains uncertain. Furthermore, PPI-induced hypomagnesemia, which can influence bone health, was identified. A notable finding was the increased risk of dental implant failures in PPI users. However, the certainty of most of the evidence ranged from very low to low based on GRADE criteria. Conclusion The long-term use of PPIs may be associated with adverse bone health outcomes, including increased fracture risk, alterations in BMD, hypomagnesemia, and dental implant failure. While these findings highlight potential concerns for long-term PPI users, the current evidence's low certainty underscores the need for robust, high-quality research to clarify these associations.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a major concern for women worldwide due to increased risk of fractures and diminished bone quality. Recent research on gut microbiota has suggested that probiotics can combat various diseases, including postmenopausal bone loss. Although several preclinical studies have explored the potential of probiotics in improving postmenopausal bone loss, the results have been inconsistent and the mechanism of action remains unclear. To address this, a meta-analysis was conducted to determine the effect of probiotics on animal models of postmenopausal osteoporosis. The bone parameters studied were bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume fractions (BV/TV), and hallmarks of bone formation and resorption. Pooled analysis showed that probiotic treatment significantly improves BMD and BV/TV of the ovariectomised animals. Probiotics, while not statistically significant, exhibited a tendency towards enhancing bone formation and reducing bone resorption. Next, we compared the effects of Lactobacillus sp. and Bifidobacterium sp. on osteoporotic bone. Both probiotics improved BMD and BV/TV compared with control, but Lactobacillus sp. had a larger effect size. In conclusion, our findings suggest that probiotics have the potential to improve bone health and prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis. However, further studies are required to investigate the effect of probiotics on postmenopausal bone health in humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been little exploration of the effect of fragility fractures on patient perceptions of their age. The common assumption is that fractures "happen to old people". In individuals with a fragility fracture, our objective was to explore the experience of feeling old after sustaining a fragility fracture. METHODS A secondary analysis of data from 145 community-dwelling women and men participating in six qualitative primary studies was conducted relying on a phenomenological approach. Participants were English-speaking, 45 years and older, who had sustained a recent fragility fracture or reported a history of previous fragility fractures. Data for the analysis included direct statements about feeling old as well any discussions relevant to age post-fracture. RESULTS We highlight two interpretations based on how individuals with a history of fragility fracture talked about age: (1) Participants described feeling old post-fracture. Several participants made explicit statements about being "old". However, the majority of participants discussed experiences post-fracture that implied that they felt old and had resigned themselves to being old. This appeared to entail a shift in thinking and perception of self that was permanent and had become a part of their identity; and (2) Perceptions of increasing age after sustaining a fracture were reinforced by health care providers, family, and friends. CONCLUSIONS Our findings challenge the notion that fractures "happen to old people" and suggest that fractures can make people feel old. Careful consideration of how bone health messages are communicated to patients post-fracture by health care providers is warranted. (Word Count: 248).

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is not clear whether changes in body composition induced by androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in prostate cancer (PC) patients are uniform or vary in the different body districts and whether regional lean body mass (LBM) and fat body mass (FBM) could have an impact on bone health. OBJECTIVE To prospectively evaluate the regional changes in LBM and FBM in PC patients submitted to degarelix; to explore the relationship of regional body composition and bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS 29 consecutive non metastatic PC patients enrolled from 2017 to 2019. FBM, LBM and bone mineral density (BMD) evaluated by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at baseline and after 12-month of ADT. Alkaline phosphate (ALP) and C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) assessed at baseline, 6 and 12 months. INTERVENTION All patients underwent degarelix administration. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS T-test or sign test and Pearson or Spearman test for continuous variables were used when indicated. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS Median percent increase in FBM ranged from + 14.5% in trunk to + 25.4% in the left leg after degarelix. LBM changes varied from + 2% in the trunk to - 4.9% in the right arm. LBM in both arms and legs and their variations after degarelix directly correlated with ALP and inversely correlated with CTX. Lean mass of limbs, trunk and legs significantly correlated with BMD of the hip, lean mass of the trunk significantly correlated with spine BMD. These are post-hoc analysis of a prospective study and this is the main limitation. CONCLUSIONS an heterogeneous change in body composition among body district is observed after ADT and bone turnover is influenced by lean mass and its variation. A supervised physical activity is crucial to maintain general physical performance and preserving bone health.

Abstract
The effects of normal-weight obesity, which is defined as having a high level of body fat despite a normal body mass index, on the health of bones in older adults are poorly understood. This cross-sectional study examined the relationship between normal-weight obesity and bone mineral density in Korean adults aged 50 years or more (2815 men and 2744 women) from the 2008-2011 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Between the ages of 50 and 69 years, individuals with normal-weight obesity had a higher risk of low bone mineral density (odds ratio = 1.596, 95 % confidence interval = 1.189-2.141, p = 0.002) compared with individuals with normal-weight non-obesity. However, no significant association between normal-weight obesity and bone mineral density was observed among people between the ages of 70 and 89 years. The study findings support the clinical significance of normal-weight obesity as a proxy biomarker to identify in primary care settings people who are at increased risk of developing osteoporosis at an early stage of aging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During childhood and adolescence, skeletal microarchitecture and bone mineral density (BMD) undergo significant changes. Peak bone mass is built and its level significantly affects the condition of bones in later years of life. Understanding the modifiable factors that improve bone parameters at an early age is necessary to early prevent osteoporosis. To identify these modifiable factors we analysed the relationship between dairy product consumption, eating habits, sedentary behaviour, and level of physical activity with BMD in 115 young boys (14-17 years). METHODS Bone parameters were measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry using paediatric specific software to compile the data. Dairy product consumption and eating habits were assessed by means of a dietary interview. Sedentary behaviour and physical activity was assessed in a face-to-face interview conducted using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Data collection on total physical activity level was performed by collecting information on the number of days and the duration of vigorous and moderate intensity (MVPA) and average daily time spent in sitting (SIT time). RESULTS The strongest relationships with BMD in distal part of forearm were found for moderate plus vigorous activity, sit time, and intake of dairy products, intake of calcium, protein, vitamin D, phosphorus from diet. Relationships between BMD, bone mineral content (BMC) in the distal and proximal part of the forearm and PA, sit time and eating parameters were evaluated using the multiple forward stepwise regression. The presented model explained 48-67% (adjusted R2 = 0.48-0.67; p < 0.001) of the variance in bone parameters. The predictor of interactions of three variables: protein intake (g/person/day), vitamin D intake (µg/day) and phosphorus intake (mg/day) was significant for BMD dis (adjusted R2 = 0.59; p < 0.001). The predictor of interactions of two variables: SIT time (h/day) and dairy products (n/day) was significant for BMD prox (adjusted R2 = 0.48; p < 0.001). Furthermore, the predictor of interactions dairy products (n/day), protein intake (g/person/day) and phosphorus intake (mg/day) was significant for BMC prox and dis (adjusted R2 = 0.63-0.67; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS High physical activity and optimal eating habits especially adequate intake of important dietary components for bone health such as calcium, protein, vitamin D and phosphorus affect the mineralization of forearm bones.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric cancer survivors are at increased risk of muscle weakness and low areal bone mineral density (aBMD). However, the prevalence of muscle strength deficits is not well documented, and the associations of muscle strength with aBMD are unknown in this population. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of upper- and lower-body muscle strength deficits and to examine the associations of upper- and lower-body muscle strength with age-, sex, and race-specific aBMD Z-scores at the total body, total hip, femoral neck, and lumbar spine. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 116 pediatric cancer survivors (12.1 ± 3.3 years old, mean ± SD; 42.2% female). Upper- and lower-body muscle strength were assessed by handgrip and standing long jump test, respectively. Dual‑energy X‑ray absorptiometry was used to measure aBMD (g/cm2). Associations between muscle strength and aBMD were evaluated in multivariable linear regression models. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the contribution of muscle strength (1-decile lower) to the odds of having low aBMD (Z-score ≤ 1.0). All analyses were adjusted for time from treatment completion, radiotherapy exposure, and body mass index. RESULTS More than one-half of survivors were within the 2 lowest deciles for upper- (56.9%) and lower- body muscle strength (60.0%) in comparison to age- and sex-specific reference values. Muscle strength deficits were associated with lower aBMD Z-scores at all sites (B : 0.133-0.258, p : 0.001-0.032). Each 1-decile lower in upper-body muscle strength was associated with 30%-95% higher odds of having low aBMD Z-scores at all sites. Each 1-decile lower in lower-body muscle strength was associated with 35%-70% higher odds of having low aBMD Z-scores at total body, total hip, and femoral neck. CONCLUSION Muscle strength deficits are prevalent in young pediatric cancer survivors, and such deficits are associated with lower aBMD Z-scores at all sites. These results suggest that interventions designed to improve muscle strength in this vulnerable population may have the added benefit of improving aBMD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current research evaluating the association between tea consumption and bone health still has inconsistent findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS The electronic databases of Embase, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were systematically searched from inception until December 2022 to identify eligible studies. The calculation of summary relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was carried out using random-effects models. I2 statistics and Forest plots were used to assess the heterogeneity of RR values across studies. RESULTS The pooled relative risks for bone health-related outcomes of interest among tea drinkers, compared to non-drinkers, were 0.910 (95% confidence interval 0.845 to 0.980) for fractures, based on 20 studies, 0.332 (0.207-0.457) for BMD (13 studies), 0.800 (0.674-0.950) for osteoporosis (10 studies), and 1.006 (0.876-1.156) for osteopenia (5 studies). Subgroup analysis of locations showed that the pooled relative risks were 0.903 (0.844-0.966) for the hip, 0.735 (0.586-0.922) for the femur, 0.776 (0.610-0.988) for the lumbar, 0.980 (0.942-1.021) for the forearm and wrist, 0.804 (0.567-1.139) for the phalanges, and 0.612 (0.468-0.800) for Ward's triangle. One-stage dose-response analysis revealed that individuals who consumed less than 4.5 cups of tea per day had a lower risk of bone health-related outcomes than those who did not consume tea, with statistically significant results. CONCLUSION There is an association between tea consumption and a reduced risk of fractures, osteoporosis, hip, femur, and lumbar, as well as increased BMD.

Abstract
Angelman syndrome (AS) is a rare genetic disorder due to lack of UBE3A function on chromosome 15q11.2q13 caused by a deletion, uniparental paternal disomy (UPD), imprinting center disorder (ICD), or pathological variant of the UBE3A gene. AS is characterized by developmental delay, epilepsy, and lack of speech. Although fractures are observed frequently in our clinical practice, there are few studies on bone health in AS. The aim of this study is to investigate bone health in children with AS. In this prospective cohort study, we describe bone health in 91 children with AS visiting the ENCORE Expertise Center for AS between April 2010 and December 2021. Bone health was assessed with the bone health index (BHI) in standard deviation score (SDS) measured by digital radiogrammetry of the left hand using BoneXpert software. Risk factors analyzed were age, sex, genetic subtype, epilepsy, anti-seizure medication use, mobility, body mass index (BMI), and onset of puberty. Children with AS had a mean BHI of -1.77 SDS (SD 1.4). A significantly lower BHI was found in children with a deletion (-2.24 SDS) versus non-deletion (-1.02 SDS). Other factors associated with reduced BHI-SDS were inability to walk and late onset of puberty. Children with a history of one or more fractures (22%) had a significantly lower BHI than children without fractures (-2.60 vs -1.56 SDS). Longitudinal analysis showed a significant decrease in BHI-SDS with age in all genetic subtypes. Conclusions: Children with AS have a reduced bone health. Risk factors are deletion genotype, no independent walking, and late onset of puberty. Bone health decreased significantly with age. What is Known: • Children with neurological disorders often have a low bone health and higher risk of fractures. • Little is known about bone health in children with Angelman syndrome (AS). What is New: • Children with AS showed a reduced bone health and this was significantly associated with having a deletion, not being able to walk independently, and late onset of puberty. • Longitudinal analysis showed a significant decrease in bone health as children got older.

Abstract
While FRAX with BMD could be more precise in estimating the fracture risk, DL-based models were validated to slightly reduce the number of under- and over-treated patients when no BMD measurements were available. The validated models could be used to screen for patients at a high risk of fracture and osteoporosis. PURPOSE Fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) is useful in classifying the fracture risk level, and precise prediction can be achieved by estimating both clinical risk factors and bone mineral density (BMD) using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). However, DXA is not frequently feasible because of its cost and accessibility. This study aimed to establish the reliability of deep learning (DL)-based alternative tools for screening patients at a high risk of fracture and osteoporosis. METHODS Participants were enrolled from the National Bone Health Screening Project of Taiwan in this cross-sectional study. First, DL-based models were built to predict the lowest T-score value in either the lumbar spine, total hip, or femoral neck and their respective BMD values. The Bland-Altman analysis was used to compare the agreement between the models and DXA. Second, the predictive model to classify patients with a high fracture risk was built according to the estimated BMD from the first step and the FRAX score without BMD. The performance of the model was compared with the classification based on FRAX with BMD. RESULTS Approximately 10,827 women (mean age, 65.4 ± 9.4 years) were enrolled. In the prediction of the lumbar spine BMD, total hip BMD, femoral neck BMD, and lowest T-score, the root-mean-square error (RMSE) was 0.099, 0.089, 0.076, and 0.68, respectively. The Bland-Altman analysis revealed a nonsignificant difference between the predictive models and DXA. The FRAX score with femoral neck BMD for major osteoporotic fracture risk was 9.7% ± 6.7%, whereas the risk for hip fracture was 3.3% ± 4.6%. Comparison between the classification of FRAX with and without BMD revealed the accuracy rate, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of 78.8%, 64.6%, and 89.9%, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), accuracy rate, PPV, and NPV of the classification model were 0.913 (95% confidence interval: 0.904-0.922), 83.5%, 71.2%, and 92.2%, respectively. CONCLUSION While FRAX with BMD could be more precise in estimating the fracture risk, DL-based models were validated to slightly reduce the number of under- and over-treated patients when no BMD measurements were available. The validated models could be used to screen for patients at a high risk of fracture and osteoporosis.

Abstract
We assessed women's perspectives regarding early preventative therapy for osteoporosis. More than a third of early menopausal women were concerned about bone loss and future fractures, and approximately half were willing to take an intravenous or oral bisphosphonate around the time of menopause to preserve bone health. PURPOSE Bisphosphonate medications can prevent the substantial bone loss that occurs during early menopause, but little is known about whether women would accept bisphosphonate treatment at this time in their life, when imminent fracture risk is low. We assessed women's perspectives regarding bone loss, fracture risk, and preventative pharmacotherapy in early menopause. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, Canadian women aged ≥ 45 years were recruited via Facebook advertisement to complete an electronic survey. Primary outcome was the proportion of early menopausal respondents (≤ 5 years since final menstrual period) who were worried about bone loss and fractures. Secondary outcomes were the proportion of early menopausal women willing to accept pharmacologic intervention aimed at preventing either bone loss or future fractures. We compared responses between early menopausal women and older women (> 5 years since final menstrual period). RESULTS 2033 women responded to the Facebook advertisement, 1195 eligible women (aged: 45 to 89 years) started the survey, and 966 completed it. Among early menopausal respondents (N = 98), 38 (42%) were worried about future fractures and 9 of 25 (36%) who had a prior bone mineral density scan were worried about their results. A total of 42 (47%) were willing to start medication to prevent fractures, and 48 (54%) would start medication to prevent bone loss. Responses were comparable between early menopausal women and older women. CONCLUSION Menopausal women are concerned about bone loss and fractures. Many women would consider early menopausal pharmacotherapy, with the goals of preserving bone health and lowering their risk of fractures.

Abstract
PURPOSE Osteoporosis and fragility fractures incur substantial costs to quality of life and global health care systems. The current gold standard for quantifying bone density is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Our hypothesis is that bone density can be accurately predicted with a simpler method using plain radiographs of the hand. METHODS This retrospective cohort study was undertaken in two centers in the United Kingdom, where the second metacarpal cortical percentage (2MCP) scores were calculated from radiographs. This study included patients who had sustained a distal radius fracture between 2020 and 2022 and had received both a posteroanterior radiograph of the hand and a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan within 12 months of their radiograph and fracture. The Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated to determine the correlation between 2MCP scores and t-scores of the femoral neck on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans. RESULTS Of the 188 patients, the 2MCP score significantly correlated with bone density t-scores of the femoral neck. A 2MCP score <50% demonstrated 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity for differentiating osteoporotic from normal subjects, whereas a 2MCP score <60% demonstrated 94.4% sensitivity and 83.0% specificity in differentiating osteopenic from normal subjects. CONCLUSIONS These data confirm that the likelihood of osteoporosis being present can be determined via the 2MCP score. TYPE OF STUDY/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Diagnostic I.

Abstract
Intermittent fasting (IF) is a promising strategy for weight loss and improving metabolic health, but its effects on bone health are less clear. This review aims to summarise and critically evaluate the preclinical and clinical evidence on IF regimens (the 5:2 diet, alternate-day fasting (ADF) and time-restricted eating (TRE)/time-restricted feeding and bone health outcomes. Animal studies have utilised IF alongside other dietary practices known to elicit detrimental effects on bone health and/or in models mimicking specific conditions; thus, findings from these studies are difficult to apply to humans. While limited in scope, observational studies suggest a link between some IF practices (e.g. breakfast omission) and compromised bone health, although lack of control for confounding factors makes these data difficult to interpret. Interventional studies suggest that TRE regimens practised up to 6 months do not adversely affect bone outcomes and may even slightly protect against bone loss during modest weight loss (< 5 % of baseline body weight). Most studies on ADF have shown no adverse effects on bone outcomes, while no studies on the ‘5–2’ diet have reported bone outcomes. Available interventional studies are limited by their short duration, small and diverse population samples, assessment of total body bone mass exclusively (by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) and inadequate control of factors that may affect bone outcomes, making the interpretation of existing data challenging. Further research is required to better characterise bone responses to various IF approaches using well-controlled protocols of sufficient duration, adequately powered to assess changes in bone outcomes and designed to include clinically relevant bone assessments.

Abstract
PURPOSE To critically evaluate systematic reviews (SRs) of the Tai Chi (TC) exercise on bone health and provide more recently available evidence. METHODS SRs with or without meta-analysis (MA) of TC on bone health were comprehensively searched in eight electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and Chinese Scientific Journals Database) and in the international prospective register of systematic reviews of (PROSPERO) from initiation to March 2023. Descriptive analyses of SRs were performed, and reporting and methodological quality of the included SRs were evaluated using the updated version of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist and A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews 2 (AMSTAR-2). The certainty of the synthesized evidence was assessed with the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. RESULTS Eighteen SRs, 15 with MAs, were included. Forty-nine RCTs and 16 NRSIs with 3956 and 1157 participants, respectively, were included in these SRs. The reporting quality of the included SRs ranged from high to low, but most received critically low AMSTAR-2 scores. Efficacy of TC on nine bone health biomarkers has been explored, covering bone mineral density (BMD) and serum biomarkers. The results showed that compare to non-intervention, perimenopausal and postmenopausal participants who practiced TC may benefit in BMD of the lumbar spine [MD = 0.04, 95% CI (0.02, 0.07)], and femoral neck [MD = 0.04, 95% CI (0.02, 0.06)], but not BMD of the femoral proximal trochanter [MD = 0.02, 95% CI (0.00, 0.03)], ward's triangle [MD = 0.02, 95% CI (-0.01, 0.04)], and femoral shaft [SMD = 0.16, 95% CI (-0.11, 0.44)]. Elders practicing TC may benefit in BMD of the femoral neck [SMD = 0.28, 95% CI (0.10, 0.45)], femoral proximal trochanter [SMD = 0.39, 95% CI (0.05, 0.73)], and ward's triangle [SMD = 0.21, 95% CI (0.05,0.37)], but may not in BMD of lumbar spine [SMD = 0.03, 95% CI (-0.22, 0.27)]. CONCLUSION We have low certainty that for perimenopausal and postmenopausal women, compare to those with no exercise, TC could improve BMD of the lumbar spine, femoral neck. We also have low certainty that in elder population, TC practitioners may benefit in BMD of femoral neck, and Ward's triangle. REGISTRATION PROSPERO (CRD42020173543).

Abstract
Introduction Gender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) is the mainstay treatment in transitioning individuals and has positive physical and psychological effects. Among the things to monitor in transgender patients on long-term hormones, bone health is an essential consideration. As the calcium intake in the Indian population is less, and many gender-incongruent individuals may not take adequate calcium in their diet, we needed data on the bone health of Indians with gender dysphoria as the information available globally may not apply to our population. Materials and Methods The study was performed to assess bone mineral density in individuals with gender dysphoria who were on gender-affirming hormonal therapy for at least 6 months. It was a hospital-based cross-sectional study of bone mineral density measured at two sites - hip and spine in individuals with gender dysphoria on GAHT for at least six months. Results A total of 30 individuals were included in this study. The mean age of individuals with Gender dysphoria was found to be 28.17 ± 6.15 years, and the age range was 19-42 years. Out of the 30 individuals, 14 were transgender males, and the remaining 16 were transgender females. Bone mineral density at the hip and spine in transgender males was 1.047 ± 0.124 g/cm2 and 1.065 ± 0.115 g/cm2, which was better compared to transgender females in whom the bone mineral density at hip and spine was 0.899 ± 0.873 g/cm2 and 0.854 ± 0.099 g/cm2 (P = 0.001 for hip; P = 0.000 for spine). The Z score at hip and spine were better in transgender males as compared to transgender females (P < 0.001 for hip; P < 0.001 for spine) when compared to genetic sex and at the spine (P = 0.001) when compared to affirmed sex. In this study, we observed that the transgender females who underwent orchidectomy had a lower mean Z score at spine compared to individuals who did not undergo the procedure. Conclusions The current study results indicate that GAHT does have positive effects on bone health in transmen.

Abstract
PURPOSE There has been a persistent claim that dairy products contain calcium-leaching proteins, although the soundness of such a claim has been challenged. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effects of milk-derived protein supplementation on bone health indices in adults was performed to reconcile the controversy surrounding the potential skeletal safety concerns of proteins of dairy origin. METHODS The PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched for relevant RCTs. A random-effects model was used to generate pooled effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS Milk-derived protein supplementation did not significantly affect whole-body BMD (n = 7 RCTs) and BMD at the lumbar spine (n = 10), hip (n = 8), femoral neck (n = 9), trochanter (n = 5), intertrochanter (n = 2), and ultradistal radius (n = 2). The concentrations of bone formation markers (bone-specific alkaline phosphatase [n = 11], osteocalcin [n = 6], procollagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide [n = 5]), bone resorption markers (N-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen [n = 7], C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen [n = 7], deoxypyridinoline [n = 4]), and parathyroid hormone (n = 7) were not significantly affected. However, increased insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) concentrations (n = 13) were observed. Reduced IGF-1 concentrations were observed when soy protein was used as a comparator, and increased IGF-1 concentrations were observed when carbohydrate was used. CONCLUSION Our findings do not support the claim that proteins of dairy origin are detrimental to bone health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Bone health of children with acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP) is not well studied. METHODS This retrospective study was performed at three sites and included data from INSPPIRE-2. RESULTS Of the 87 children in the study: 46 had ARP (53%), 41 had CP (47%). Mean age was 13.6 ± 3.9 years at last DXA scan. The prevalence of low height-for-age (Z-score < -2) (13%, 10/78) and low bone mineral density (BMD) adjusted for height (Z-score < -2) (6.4%, 5/78) were higher than a healthy reference sample (2.5%, p < 0.0001 and p = 0.03, respectively). CONCLUSION Children with ARP or CP have lower height and BMD than healthy peers. Attention to deficits in growth and bone mineral accrual in children with pancreatic disease is warranted.

Abstract
Male reproductive functions and bone health are both adversely affected by the high salt diet (HSD). Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism via which it alters the sperm function remains largely unknown. This study examines the mechanism by which HSD affects male fertility by impairing bone health. For investigating the same, male BALB/c mice were categorized into three groups-HSD group (fed with 4% NaCl), a low salt diet (LSD) group (fed with 0.4% NaCl), and a control group (fed with a normal diet) for 6 weeks and thereafter assessed for various sperm parameters, bone turnover markers, and testosterone levels. Furthermore, the quantitative assessment of testosterone biosynthesis enzymes was performed. Interestingly, we observed that mice fed with HSD showed significant alterations in sperm parameters-motility, count, and vitality, including morphological changes compared to both the LSD and the control groups. In addition, serum analysis showed an increase in bone resorption markers and a decrease in bone formation markers in the HSD group (p < 0.05). Further, HSD caused a decrease in the testosterone level and mRNA expression of testosterone biosynthesis enzymes. Importantly, a significant decrease in bone formation marker osteocalcin (OC) was observed to coincide with the dip in testosterone level in the HSD group. Given that OC plays a key role in maintaining male fertility, the above findings suggest that a decrease in OC levels may affect the testosterone biosynthesis pathway, reducing testosterone hormone secretion and thereby resulting in decreased spermatogenesis. The study for the first time delineates and bridges the mechanism of HSD-mediated bone loss (results in a deficiency of OC) with decreased testosterone biosynthesis and thus impaired male fertility.

Abstract
PURPOSE While bone health is instrumental in orthopedic surgery, few studies have described the long-term outcomes of osteoporosis (OP) in patients undergoing total hip (THA) or knee (TKA) arthroplasties. METHODS Using the New York State statewide planning and research cooperative system database, all patients who underwent primary TKA or THA for osteoarthritis from 2009 to 2011 with minimum 2-year follow-up were identified. They were divided based on their OP status (OP and non-OP) and 1:1 propensity score matched for age, sex, race, and Charlson/Deyo index. Cohorts were compared for demographics, hospital-related parameters, and 2-year postoperative complications and reoperations. Multivariate binary logistic regression was utilized to identify significant independent associations with 2-year medical and surgical complications and revisions. RESULTS A total of 11,288 TKA and 8248 THA patients were identified. OP and non-OP TKA patients incurred comparable overall hospital charges for their surgical visit and hospital length of stay (LOS) (both, p ≥ 0.125). Though OP and non-OP THA patients incurred similar mean hospital charges for their surgical visit, they experienced longer hospital LOS (4.3 vs. 4.1 days, p = 0.035). For both TKA and THA, OP patients had higher rates of overall and individual medical and surgical complications (all, p < 0.05). OP was independently associated with the 2-year occurrence of any overall, surgical, and medical complications, and any revision in TKA and THA patients (all, OR ≥ 1.42, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our study found OP was associated with a greater risk of 2-year adverse outcomes following TKA or THA, including medical, surgical, and overall complications as well as revision operations compared to non-OP patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review paper is intended to show that changes in body composition are key in the pathogenesis of bone fragility amongst patients with breast and prostate cancer receiving hormone deprivation therapies (HDTs) and that the mechanism is based on the development of alterations in bone quality rather than in bone quantity. RECENT FINDINGS Preclinical and clinical data suggest a tight connection amongst bone, adipose and muscular tissues by means of several soluble mediators, potentially leading to (1) bone resorption and bone quality deterioration in sarcopenic obese subjects, (2) bone mineral deposition in healthy trained subjects. Cancer patients treated with HDTs frequently fall into the first condition, named osteosarcopenic obesity. Current clinical guidelines for the prevention of treatment-induced osteoporosis focus on bone mineral density (BMD) as a main predictive factor for fracture risk; however, the pathophysiology underlying HDT-induced bone fragility differs from that of primary and postmenopausal osteoporosis, suggesting a prevalent role for bone quality alterations. Focusing on available data from clinical trials, in our review we suggest osteosarcopenic obesity as a common target for the prevention and treatment of HDTs-related metabolic and skeletal complications, beyond a BMD-centred approach.

Abstract
AIMS To examine the association between daily steps and step intensity with bone health in Chinese community-dwelling older women. METHODS Data from 1116 women in the Physical Activity and Health in Older Women Study in China, 2021. Three bone parameters: bone quality index (BQI), speed of sound (SOS), and broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) were measured in the left heel using an ultrasound bone densitometer and transformed into dichotomous variables from medians. Daily steps and step intensity (slow step time, brisk step time, peak 1-min cadence, peak 30-min cadence, and peak 60-min cadence) were measured using a triaxial accelerometer. Participants with high BQI, SOS, and BUA levels were used as references for logistic regression models to explore the association of daily steps and step intensity with bone health. RESULTS Daily steps were positively associated with the BQI (odds ratio [OR] = 0.94, confidence interval [CI] = 0.89,1.00), SOS (OR = 0.93, CI = 0.88,0.99), and BUA (OR = 0.93, CI = 0.88,0.99) among older women. There was no significant association between peak cadence and bone health. Slow step time was positively associated with the BQI (OR = 0.94, CI = 0.90,0.99) and SOS (OR = 0.93, CI = 0.88,0.97), while brisk step time was positively associated with the BQI (OR = 0.89, CI = 0.82,0.97), SOS (OR = 0.87, CI = 0.80,0.94), and BUA (OR = 0.89, CI = 0.82,0.97). Moreover, 10,000 steps/day or more was significantly associated with the BQI (OR = 0.52, CI = 0.33,0.81), SOS (OR = 0.55, CI = 0.35,0.86), and BUA (OR = 0.45, CI = 0.28, 0.70) compared to <6000 steps/day. CONCLUSION Increasing the number of daily steps or the duration of walking, whether fast or slow, may benefit the bone health of older women.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to summarize the scientific evidence published in the past 5 years examining the epidemiology of bone health as it relates to the gut microbiome, across race and ethnicity groups. RECENT FINDINGS The link between the gut microbiome and bone health is well established and is supported by numerous biological mechanisms. However, human study research in this field is dominated by studies of older adults residing in Asian countries. A limited number of epidemiological and randomized controlled trials have been conducted with individuals in other countries; however, they are marked by their racial and ethnic homogeneity, use varied measures of the gut microbiome, and different interventions (where applicable), making comparisons across race and ethnic groups difficult. As the global prevalence of osteoporosis increases, the need for lifestyle interventions is critical. Existing data suggest that racial and ethnic differences in gut microbiome exist. Studies examining the relation between bone health and gut microbial structure and function across diverse racial and ethnic groups are needed to determine appropriate microbiome-based interventions.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a highly prevalent condition with multiple acute and chronic consequences. Survivors of AKI are at risk of AKI-to-chronic kidney disease (CKD) transition, which carries significant morbidity and mortality. One retrospective analysis showed increased risk of bone fracture post-AKI in humans, which was independent of CKD development. While there are several theoretical reasons for late disturbances of bone health post-AKI, no definitive data are available to date. An important question is whether there are bone sequelae from AKI that are independent of CKD, meaning bone disease prior to the onset, or in the absence of CKD - a form of "post-AKI osteopathy." While preclinical studies examining bone health after acute stressors have focused mostly on sepsis models, multiple experimental AKI models are readily available for longitudinal bone health interrogation. Future research should be tailored to define whether AKI is a risk factor, independent of CKD, for bone disease and if present, the time course and type of bone disease. This review summarizes a fraction of the existing data to provide some guidance in future research efforts.

Abstract
Trabecular microarchitecture contributes to bone strength, but its role in bone stress injury (BSI) risk in young healthy adults is unclear. Tibial volumetric BMD (vBMD), geometry, and microarchitecture, whole-body areal BMD, lean and fat mass, biochemical markers of bone metabolism, aerobic fitness, and muscle strength and power were measured in 201 British Army male infantry recruits (age 20.7 [4.3] years, BMI 24.0 ± 2.7 kg·m2) in week one of basic training. Tibial scans were performed at the ultra-distal site, 22.5 mm from the distal endplate of the non-dominant leg using High Resolution Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (XtremeCT, Scanco Medical AG, Switzerland). Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify associations with lower body BSI confirmed by MRI. 20 recruits (10.0%) were diagnosed with a lower body BSI. Pre-injured participants had lower cortical area, stiffness and estimated failure load (p = 0.029, 0.012 and 0.011 respectively) but tibial vBMD, geometry, and microarchitecture were not associated with BSI incidence when controlling for age, total body mass, lean body mass, height, total 25(OH)D, 2.4-km run time, peak power output and maximum dynamic lift strength. Infantry Regiment (OR 9.3 [95%CI, 2.6, 33.4]) Parachute versus Line Infantry, (p ≤ 0.001) and 2.4-km best effort run time (1.06 [95%CI, 1.02, 1.10], p < 0.033) were significant predictors. Intrinsic risk factors, including ultradistal tibial density, geometry, and microarchitecture, were not associated with lower body BSI during arduous infantry training. The ninefold increased risk of BSI in the Parachute Regiment compared with Line Infantry suggests that injury propensity is primarily a function of training load and risk factors are population-specific.

Abstract
Introduction The growing years are paramount for bone growth and mineral accrual. Children with long-term neurological condition (LTNC) have multiple risk factors for poor bone health and fragility fractures. In Singapore, this has not been studied systematically. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the risk factors associated with fragility fractures in children with LTNC. Methods In this study, the search for fragility fractures was done by a retrospective review of patients with LTNC on follow-up in the paediatric neurology clinic and patients who presented with fracture to the paediatric orthopaedic clinic. Information on patients' demographics, medical history, intervention, biochemical bone markers and fracture history was collected. Results In a tertiary clinic population of 136 patients with LTNC, 65% were dependent on mobility (Gross Motor Function Classification System [GMFCS] V), 60% were underweight and 60% were fed via gastrostomy or nasogastric tube, or were on oral pureed diet. Furthermore, 60% were on anticonvulsants. The fracture rate was 3% in this population and was associated with low-impact activities such as transfer and dressing. Only 7.4% and 33% of the patients had undergone measurements of vitamin D and calcium levels, respectively. Conclusion The local prevalence of fragility fractures in children with LTNC on follow-up at the neurology clinic was found to be 3%. Risk factors identified were limited ambulation and compromised nutritional status associated with feeding difficulty. Recommendations to optimise bone health in children with LTNC were made. These include promoting weight-bearing activities, looking out for underweight children, avoiding vitamin D deficiency and ensuring adequate calcium intake.

Abstract
Objectives To evaluate the association of illicit drug use with bone mineral density (BMD) and hip geometric parameters at the narrow neck. Methods This is a cross-sectional matched cohort study conducted in the Hong Kong Chinese population. Associations with illicit drug use were estimated using linear regression for BMD (lumbar spine and femoral neck) and hip geometrical parameters (cross-sectional area [CSA], cross-sectional moment of inertia [CSMI], section modulus [SM], average cortical thickness [ACT] and BMD at the narrow neck) after adjusting for age, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, drinking status, physical activity, and history of antipsychotic and antidepressant use. Mean difference and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated between 108 illicit drug users and 108 controls using an adjusted linear model and cluster-robust standard errors after matching by age and sex. The false discovery rate was used to correct for multiple testing. Results Illicit drug users had a significantly lower BMD (g/cm2) at the lumbar spine (mean difference: -0.062; 95% CI: -0.108 to -0.015), and femoral neck (mean difference: -0.058; 95% CI: -0.106 to -0.010) in the fully adjusted model. Illicit drug users also had a significantly lower CSA (mean difference: -0.238 cm2; 95% CI: -0.462 to -0.013), ACT (mean difference: -0.018 cm; 95% CI: -0.030 to -0.006) and BMD (mean difference: -0.070 g/cm2; 95% CI: -0.128 to -0.012) at the narrow neck. Conclusions Illicit drug use is associated with lower BMD and bone strength. Future studies evaluating the risk of illicit drug use with fragility fracture are warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although the therapy-related bone loss attracts increasing attention nowadays, the differences in chemotherapy-induced bone loss and bone metabolism indexes change among breast cancer (BC) women with different menstrual statuses or chemotherapy regimens are unknown. The aim of the study is to explore the effects of different regimens of chemotherapy on bone health. METHOD The self-control study enrolled 118 initially diagnosed BC women without distant metastasis who underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) bone mineral density (BMD) screening and (or) bone metabolism index monitoring during chemotherapy at Chongqing Breast Cancer Center. Mann-Whitney U test, Cochran's Q test, and Wilcoxon sign rank test were performed. RESULTS After chemotherapy, the BMD in the lumbar 1-4 and whole lumbar statistically decreased (- 1.8%/per 6 months), leading to a significantly increased proportion of osteoporosis (27.1% vs. 20.5%, P < 0.05), which were mainly seen in the premenopausal group (- 7.0%/per 6 months). Of the chemotherapeutic regimens of EC (epirubicin + cyclophosphamide), TC (docetaxel + cyclophosphamide), TEC (docetaxel + epirubicin + cyclophosphamide), and EC-T(H) [epirubicin + cyclophosphamide-docetaxel and/or trastuzumab], EC regimen had the least adverse impact on BMD, while the EC-TH regimen reduced BMD most (P < 0.05) inspite of the non-statistical difference between EC-T regimen, which was mainly seen in the postmenopausal group. Chemotherapy-induced amenorrhea (estradiol 94 pg/ml vs, 22 pg/ml; FSH 9.33 mIU/ml vs. 61.27 mIU/ml) was proved in premenopausal subgroup (P < 0.001). Except the postmenopausal population with calcium/VitD supplement, the albumin-adjusted calcium increased significantly (2.21 mmol/l vs. 2.33 mmol/l, P < 0.05) after chemotherapy. In postmenopausal group with calcium/VitD supplement, β-CTX decreased significantly (0.56 ng/ml vs. 0.39 ng/ml, P < 0.05) and BMD were not affected by chemotherapy (P > 0. 05). In premenopausal group with calcium/VitD supplement, PTH decreased significantly (52.90 pg/ml vs. 28.80 pg/ml, P = 0. 008) and hip BMD increased after chemotherapy (0.845 g/m2 vs. 0.952 g/m2, P = 0. 006). As for both postmenopausal and premenopausal group without calcium/VitD supplement, there was a significant decrease in bone mass in hip and lumbar vertebrae after chemotherapy (0.831 g/m2 vs. 0.776 g/m2; 0.895 g/m2 vs. 0.870 g/m2, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Chemotherapy might induce lumbar vertebrae BMD loss and spine osteoporosis with regimen differences among Chinese BC patients. Calcium/VitD supplementation could improve bone turnover markers, bone metabolism indicators, and bone mineral density. Early interventions on bone health are needed for BC patients during chemotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to summarize the scientific evidence on bone health in transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth. RECENT FINDINGS Gender-affirming medical therapies may be introduced during a key window of skeletal development in TGD adolescents. Before treatment, low bone density for age is more prevalent than expected in TGD youth. Bone mineral density Z-scores decrease with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists and differentially respond to subsequent estradiol or testosterone. Risk factors for low bone density in this population include low body mass index, low physical activity, male sex designated at birth, and vitamin D deficiency. Peak bone mass attainment and implications for future fracture risk are not yet known. TGD youth have higher than expected rates of low bone density prior to initiation of gender-affirming medical therapy. More studies are needed to understand the skeletal trajectories of TGD youth receiving medical interventions during puberty.

Abstract
Aging is an inevitable biological process, and longevity may be related to bone health. Maintaining strong bone health can extend one's lifespan, but the exact mechanism is unclear. Bone and extraosseous organs, including the heart and brain, have complex and precise communication mechanisms. In addition to its load bearing capacity, the skeletal system secretes cytokines, which play a role in bone regulation of extraosseous organs. FGF23, OCN, and LCN2 are three representative bone-derived cytokines involved in energy metabolism, endocrine homeostasis and systemic chronic inflammation levels. Today, advanced research methods provide new understandings of bone as a crucial endocrine organ. For example, gene editing technology enables bone-specific conditional gene knockout models, which allows the study of bone-derived cytokines to be more precise. We systematically evaluated the various effects of bone-derived cytokines on extraosseous organs and their possible antiaging mechanism. Targeting aging with the current knowledge of the healthy skeletal system is a potential therapeutic strategy. Therefore, we present a comprehensive review that summarizes the current knowledge and provides insights for futures studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism-related biomarkers among Thai adolescents with perinatally acquired HIV infection (PHIVA) at 3 years following completion of vitamin D and calcium (VitD/Cal) supplementation. METHODS An observational follow-up study was conducted among PHIVA who received 48-week VitD/Cal supplementation (either high-dose [3,200 IU/1,200 mg daily] or standard-dose [400 IU/1,200 mg daily]). Lumbar spine BMD (LSBMD) was assessed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, intact parathyroid hormone, and bone turnover markers were measured. Changes in LSBMD z-scores and other bone parameters at 3 years after stopping VitD/Cal supplementation compared with baseline or week 48 of supplementation were assessed among participants previously receiving high-dose and standard-dose VitD/Cal supplementation. RESULTS Of 114 enrolled PHIVA, 46% and 54% had previously received high-dose and standard-dose VitD/Cal supplementation, respectively. The median age was 20 years; 53% were male. At 3 years after completion of VitD/Cal supplementation, we observed a significant decline in 25-hydroxyvitamin D and increase in intact parathyroid hormone but no significant rebounds of C-terminal telopeptides of collagen type I and procollagen type I amino-terminal propeptides and no significant changes in LSBMD z-scores among PHIVA in both treatment groups, compared with the measurements at week 48 of supplementation. Notably, LSBMD z-scores at 3 years after stopping VitD/Cal supplements were not significantly altered from baseline evaluations in both PHIVA groups. DISCUSSION Three years after completion of high-dose or standard-dose VitD/Cal supplementation, LSBMD z-scores of our Thai PHIVA were not significantly changed from baseline and week 48 of supplementation. VitD/Cal supplementation of PHIVA during periods of peak bone mass accrual may have sustained and long-term skeletal benefits.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To understand the knowledge status, obstacle factors, and management confidence of oncology nurses on the bone health of cancer patients, and in addition to provide reference for establishing bone health knowledge training system for oncology nurses and guiding them to manage bone health of cancer patients. METHODS A total of 602 nurses engaged in oncology nursing in 6 hospitals in Hebei Province were selected by cluster sampling, and an online anonymous survey was conducted by sending questionnaires to oncology nurses from the Hebei Cancer Prevention and Control Association. The questionnaire was developed by the study team. There are 4 parts, namely general information, nurses' role and job responsibilities, knowledge of skeletal-related events (SREs) and cancer treatment-induced bone loss (CTIBL), and understanding and confidence in bone health management, for a total of 33 questions. RESULTS Thirty-seven percent of oncology nurses received training on bone health and other related contents; 40.48% of oncology nurses used domestic and foreign guidelines when managing patients with bone metastases or CTIBL. Only approximately one-third of oncology nurses had confidence in managing the side effects of bone metastases and bone modification drugs and identifying patients at risk of CTIBL and fracture; only 33.04% of oncology nurses believed that weight-bearing exercise can prevent bone loss; less than 50% of oncology nurses believed that aromatase inhibitor therapy, ovarian suppression therapy, androgen deprivation therapy, and low body weight were risk factors for pathological fractures. The reasons that hindered oncology nurses from optimizing the management of patients with bone metastases and understanding the preventive measures and risk factors for bone loss mainly included lack of relevant knowledge training, lack of understanding of effective intervention measures, and lack of training and professionalism of specialized nurses, including insufficient development time and guidelines for clinical nursing practice. CONCLUSION Managers must continuously improve the training system of oncology nurses, enrich the content of training pertaining to bone health for cancer patients, formulate clinical nursing practice guidelines, and give oncology nurses more time for professional development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Inclusion of underrepresented racial and ethnic groups in eating disorder (ED) research is a critical unmet need, but evidence-based recruitment strategies are lacking. We sought to determine whether methods we had implemented to increase recruitment of underrepresented racial and ethnic groups were successful in improving racial and ethnic diversity in a clinical trial in women with anorexia nervosa. METHOD We implemented new strategies for recruitment of underrepresented racial and ethnic groups in a clinical trial on bone health in women with anorexia nervosa, including leveraging social media, liberalizing language on advertisements to be more inclusive of women who are as yet undiagnosed with the disorder or feel stigmatized by its name, translating advertisements to Spanish, and engaging community health centers. We compared participants' race and ethnicity in this clinical trial versus two similar prior clinical trials. RESULTS The percent of non-White and Hispanic participants who have signed a consent form in our ongoing clinical trial (2021-2023) is higher versus two previous clinical trials on bone health in women with anorexia nervosa (2011-2019) with similar inclusion/exclusion criteria and endpoints [non-White: 11/38 (28.9%) vs. 11/188 (5.9%), Hispanic: 6/38 (15.8%) vs. 5/188 (2.7%), p ≤ 0.006]. There was no change in the percent of Black participants [0/38 (0%) vs. 1/188 (0.5%), p = 1.0]. DISCUSSION Viewing clinical research recruitment through a diversity, equity, and inclusion lens can improve racial and ethnic diversity in ED research. Further research recruitment strategies are needed to be more inclusive of Black populations.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal conditions, including fractures, can have severe and long-lasting consequences. Higher body mass index in adulthood is widely acknowledged to be protective for most fracture sites. However, sources of bias induced by confounding factors may have distorted previous findings. Employing a lifecourse Mendelian randomisation (MR) approach by using genetic instruments to separate effects at different life stages, this investigation aims to explore how prepubertal and adult body size independently influence fracture risk in later life.Using data from a large prospective cohort, univariable and multivariable MR were conducted to simultaneously estimate the effects of age-specific genetic proxies for body size (n = 453,169) on fracture risk (n = 416,795). A two-step MR framework was additionally applied to elucidate potential mediators. Univariable and multivariable MR indicated strong evidence that higher body size in childhood reduced fracture risk (OR, 95% CI: 0.89, 0.82 to 0.96, P = 0.005 and 0.76, 0.69 to 0.85, P = 1 × 10- 6, respectively). Conversely, higher body size in adulthood increased fracture risk (OR, 95% CI: 1.08, 1.01 to 1.16, P = 0.023 and 1.26, 1.14 to 1.38, P = 2 × 10- 6, respectively). Two-step MR analyses suggested that the effect of higher body size in childhood on reduced fracture risk was mediated by its influence on higher estimated bone mineral density (eBMD) in adulthood.This investigation provides novel evidence that higher body size in childhood reduces fracture risk in later life through its influence on increased eBMD. From a public health perspective, this relationship is complex since obesity in adulthood remains a major risk factor for co-morbidities. Results additionally indicate that higher body size in adulthood is a risk factor for fractures. Protective effect estimates previously observed are likely attributed to childhood effects.

Abstract
The occurrence of bone fractures is frequent in the elderly population, and in cancer patients, especially with bone metastases. The growing incidence of cancer associated with an aging population implies important health challenges, including bone health. Decisions on cancer care in older adults have to take into account older adults' specificities. Screening tools as G8 or VES 13 and evaluating tools as comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) do not include bone-related items. Bone risk assessment is indicated according to identification of geriatric syndromes such as falls, history, and the oncology treatment plan. Some cancer treatments disrupt bone turnover and decrease bone mineral density. This is mainly caused by hypogonadism, induced by hormonal treatments and some chemotherapies. Treatments can also cause direct (i.e., chemotherapy, radiotherapy or glucocorticoids) or indirect toxicity through electrolyte disorders (i.e., some chemotherapies or tyrosine kinase inhibitors) on bone turnover. Bone risk prevention is multidisciplinary. Certain interventions proposed in the CGA aim to improve bone health and reduce the risk of falling. It is also based on the drug management of osteoporosis, and the prevention of complications from bone metastases. Management of fractures, related or not to bone metastases relates to the concept of orthogeriatrics. It is also based on the benefit-risk ratio of the operation, access to minimally invasive techniques, prehabilitation or rehabilitation, but also the prognosis related to cancer and geriatric syndromes. Bone health is essential in older cancer patient's care. Bone risk assessment should be part of CGA in routine use and specific decision-making tools should be developed. Bone event management must be integrated throughout the patient's care pathway and oncogeriatrics multidisciplinarity should include rheumatological expertise.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a restrictive eating disorder commonly associated with medical complications of undernutrition and low weight. In adolescence, a critical time for bone accrual, the impact of ARFID on bone health is uncertain. We aimed to study bone health in low-weight females with ARFID, as well as the association between peptide YY (PYY), an anorexigenic hormone with a role in regulation of bone metabolism, and bone mineral density (BMD) in these individuals. We hypothesized that BMD would be lower in low-weight females with ARFID than healthy controls (HC), and that PYY levels would be negatively associated with BMD. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study in 14 adolescent low-weight females with ARFID and 20 HC 10-23 years old. We assessed BMD (total body, total body less head and lumbar spine) using dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and assessed fasting total PYY concentration in blood. RESULTS Total body BMD Z-scores were significantly lower in ARFID than in HC (- 1.41 ± 0.28 vs. - 0.50 ± 0.25, p = 0.021). Mean PYY levels trended higher in ARFID vs. HC (98.18 ± 13.55 pg/ml vs. 71.40 ± 5.61 pg/ml, p = 0.055). In multivariate analysis within the ARFID group, PYY was negatively associated with lumbar BMD adjusted for age (β = -0.481, p = 0.032). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that female adolescents with low-weight ARFID may have lower BMD than healthy controls and that higher PYY levels may be associated with lower BMD at some, but not all, sites in ARFID. Further research with larger samples will be important to investigate whether high PYY drives bone loss in ARFID.

Abstract
Exercise is an important intervention to maintain bone health in women with osteopenia and osteoporosis. This systematic review aims to gain insight into the experiences or perceptions females have toward bone health interventions, to promote uptake and adherence. Four electronic databases were searched: MEDLINE, CINAHL, PubMed and PsycInfo. Inclusion Criteria: Qualitative studies examining perceptions or views of women to physical activity or exercise interventions aimed at improving bone health. 1,406 papers were identified. After screening, data were extracted from 2 studies considering experiences and 2 papers presenting perceptions of exercise for bone health. All studies scored >8 out of 10 on the CASP Quality Tool. Older women perceived barriers such as safety and advice, and facilitators of tangible results and feedback within supervised group sessions. Older womens' experiences of a digitally delivered exercise intervention included social interactions and voice reminders, with barriers of lack of feedback and knowledge. Younger women expressed enablers as feeling the benefits and physical literacy, and barriers of previous experience participating in tedious exercise. Supervised sessions, with different intensity levels and variety, offering feedback to promote confidence, are valuable to uptake and adherence in both younger and older females.

Abstract
Purpose Bone health and osteoporosis are significant health problems in Saudi Arabia. Approximately 40%-50% of women and 25%-33% of men sustain osteoporotic fractures in their lifetimes. Hence, identifying the risk factors for osteoporosis is crucial in reducing the incidence of fractures. Materials and Methods We retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of 557 patients (female 60%, male 40%) aged ≥18 years (mean age, 66.53 years [standard deviation ± 14.169]) who underwent bone mineral density (BMD) scans at the Department of Family Medicine & Polyclinics, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSH&RC) between January 2004 and June 2019. Data collected included demographics, BMD values, vitamin B12 levels, and folate levels. Results This study indicated that the prevalence rates of vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies among the study population were 8.4% and 1.3%, respectively. There was a statistically significant association between vitamin B12 levels and fracture risk (P =0.044). However, no statistically significant correlation was observed between BMD at either site (lumbar spine or femoral neck) and vitamin B12 (P =0.926.,070) and folate levels (P =.683.,79). BMD showed a significant positive correlation with body mass index at the lumbar spine and femoral neck (P = 0.000). There was no statistically significant association between vitamin B12 levels and the use of metformin (P =.26). Conclusion Vitamin B12 is associated with fracture risk; however, vitamin B12 and folate levels are not correlated to BMD (femoral neck and lumbar spine).

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the effects of the "11 for Health" programme on musculoskeletal fitness. Methods A total of 108 Danish children aged 10-12 years participated in the study, with 61 children in the intervention group (IG, 25 girls and 36 boys) and 47 children in the control group (CG, 21 girls and 26 boys). Measurements were conducted before and after an 11-week intervention consisting of twice-weekly 45-min football training sessions for IG or continuation of normal Physical Education program for CG. Whole-body dual X-ray absorptiometry was conducted for evaluation of leg and total bone mineral density as well as bone, muscle and fat mass. Standing Long Jump and Stork balance tests were employed to assess musculoskeletal fitness and postural balance. Results During the 11-week study period, leg bone mineral density as well as leg lean body mass increased more (p < 0.05) in the intervention group (IG) compared to the control group (CG) (0.021 ± 0.019 vs 0.014 ± 0.018 g/cm2 and 0.51 ± 0.46 vs 0.32 ± 0.35 kg, respectively). Moreover, body fat percentage decreased more in IG than in CG (-0.6 ± 0.1 vs 0.1 ± 0.1 %-points, p < 0.05). No significant between-group differences were found in bone mineral content. Stork balance test performance increased more in IG than in CG (0.5 ± 2.6 vs -1.5 ± 4.4 s, p < 0.05), whereas no between-group differences were found in jump performance. Conclusions The school-based football programme, 11 for Health, with twice-weekly 45-min training sessions over 11 weeks improves various, but not all evaluated parameters related to musculoskeletal fitness in 10-12-yr-old Danish school children.

Abstract
Prostate cancer survivors face an elevated lifetime risk of fracture due to factors that include older age, bony metastases, and use of androgen deprivation therapy in the curative setting, which increases the risk of osteoporosis and fracture. Management of bone health is critical to prevent fracture and other bone-related complications; however, routine bone health screening is seldom performed and is inadequate. In this mini-review, we discuss optimal bone health management for prostate cancer survivors who have received curative-intent therapy. We also discuss areas for future improvement. PATIENT SUMMARY: This mini-review discusses the importance of bone health for prostate cancer survivors who had nonmetastatic disease, steps to improve bone health, and areas for improvement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a common comorbidity in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Although lung transplantation (LTx) improves quality of life of CF patients, there is little research examining long-term bone health outcomes following LTx in these patients. METHODS Data were collected on 59 patients who underwent LTx between 2006 and 2019, including 30 with CF and 29 without CF. We compared baseline characteristics, long-term bone mineral density (BMD) trends, and fracture incidence between the two patient populations, and examined factors associated with post-LTx fractures in CF patients. RESULTS Compared with non-CF patients, patients with CF were younger, had lower body mass index, and lower baseline BMD Z-scores at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip (all p<0.001). BMD at all sites declined in both groups in the first year post-LTx. In subsequent years, CF patients exhibited better BMD recovery relative to pre-transplantation, but continued to have lower BMD post-LTx. Post-transplant fractures occurred in 30% and 34% of CF and non-CF patients, respectively. CF patients who developed fractures after LTx had significantly lower BMD and lower pre-transplantation percent predicted forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1%). CONCLUSIONS Although CF patients exhibit better BMD recovery following LTx compared to their non-CF counterparts, CF patients start with significantly lower pre-LTx BMD and experience a similarly high rate of post-LTx fractures. These findings highlight the unique contribution of the CF disease process to bone health, as well as a clear need for better prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in CF patients before and after LTx.
