Abstract Purpose Inflammation could play a key role in tissue damage and bone metabolism. The modified dietary inflammatory score (M-DIS) is a validated tool to estimate the inflammatory potential of the diet. In the present study, we evaluate the associations between the M-DIS and bone mineral density (BMD) in a senior Mediterranean population with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome. Methods Baseline cross-sectional association between the M-DIS and bone mineral density was assessed in 1134 participants of the multicenter PREDIMED-Plus trial (aged 55–75 with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome). BMD was measured using Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry scans and participants answered a food frequency questionnaire to determine the M-DIS. BMD was categorized as low BMD when T score was equal or lower than -1 and normal BMD in another case. Associations between BMD and M-DIS were evaluated by using linear and logistic regressions adjusted by other co-variates. Results Participants in the top tertile of the M-DIS had a lower BMD at total femur [β (95% CI) − 0.02 (− 0.04, − 0.01)], trochanter areas [β (95% CI) − 0.03 (− 0.05, − 0.01)] and lumbar spine area [β (95% CI) − 0.03 (− 0.07, 0.01)] (but in the last case, measures were less precise and hence not statistically significant) compared to those in the lower M-DIS tertile. Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that the odds of the total femur and femoral trochanter osteopenia/osteoporosis were higher in participants in the top tertile compared to those in the lowest tertile of M-DIS [OR (95% CI) 1.71 (1.12, 2.64), P for trend 0.015; 2.02 (1.29, 3.21), P for trend 0.002, respectively]. Conclusion A high pro-inflammatory diet, measured by the M-DIS, is associated with lower BMD in a senior Mediterranean population with metabolic syndrome.

There is still limited data on the association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), parathyroid hormone (PTH), and bone health in healthy younger adults, particularly in Latin America. This cross-sectional analysis aimed to investigate the associations of 25(OH)D and plasma PTH concentrations with bone parameters, and potential confounders, in women living in a high (England) or low (Brazil) latitude country. Bone was assessed by either peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) (England) or dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan (Brazil), serum 25(OH)D concentrations by high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) and PTH by the chemiluminescent method. In participants living in England, total volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) was significantly higher in women <29 years compared to ≥30 years, and total and cortical vBMD values at the 66% site were negatively correlated with weight and body mass index (BMI). In participants living in Brazil, age was positively correlated with bone mineral density (BMD) at the femur and bone mineral content (BMC), and weight, BMI, and body fat were correlated with BMD (lumbar spine and femur) and BMC. PTH concentrations were negatively correlated with 25(OH)D concentrations, and the prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism was 28.6% (n = 14) in participants with concentrations <25 nmol/L and 12.2% (n = 41) with concentrations between 25 and 49.9 nmol/L, compared to 6.3% (n = 79) in those with concentrations ≥50 nmol/L. In conclusion, weight and BMI were significantly correlated with bone parameters in both groups and age was significantly correlated with BMD at the femoral neck for women living in Brazil only. Although 25(OH)D concentrations were not correlated to bone parameters at any sites, in either country, PTH concentrations showed a significant correlation with total vBMD at the 66% site for women living in England. Secondary hyperparathyroidism was more common amongst those with deficient and insufficient vitamin D status.

Abstract Background Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are at increased risk of fractures. Although their decline in bone mineral density (BMD) is well-established, data regarding the alterations in bone microarchitecture are limited. In this study, we aimed to evaluate bone microarchitecture, geometry, and volumetric BMD among patients with RA in mainland China using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HRpQCT). Methods In this cross-sectional study, patients with RA were recruited from the Peking Union Medical College Hospital site of the Chinese Registry of rhEumatoiD arthrITis (CREDIT). Each participant underwent HRpQCT scanning (Scanco XtremeCT II), thoracolumbar X-ray and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The primary outcomes were HRpQCT-related measures at distal radius and tibia. Data regarding demographic features, RA-related characteristics, and history of fragility fractures were collected. Correlation between HRpQCT parameters and potentially related factors were analyzed using linear regression analysis. A group of age- and sex-matched healthy controls was included for comparison. Results A total of 81 patients with RA [69 women, aged 57.9 ± 8.7 years, disease duration 5.7 (IQR 1.4–11.2) years] and 81 matched healthy controls were included. Compared with controls, patients with RA had significantly larger bone area and lower total and trabecular vBMD at both the distal radius and tibia. Lower cortical bone thickness was also shown at the distal tibia. Among patients with RA, advanced age, low BMI, female sex, disease duration, and activity were associated with decreased vBMD and impaired bone microstructure. Female reproductive factors including menopause, late menarche, breast feeding, and early childbirth also showed negative correlation with these parameters. Compared to patients with RA without fractures, patients with fragility fractures (n = 11) showed lower trabecular and cortical vBMD, thinner cortical bone, impaired trabecular microstructure, and a trend of declined bone strength. Current glucocorticoid intake was related to decreased vBMD, trabecular number, increased trabecular separation, and inhomogeneity. Conclusions In this study, we observed alterations in bone mineral density, geometry, and microarchitecture among patients with RA compared to healthy individuals, which may impair bone strength and lead to increased risk of fractures. Both traditional risk factors for osteoporosis and RA-associated factors need to be considered in the assessment of the bone quality.
