Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a community-based exercise program on bone mineral density and body composition in postmenopausal women with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Twenty postmenopausal women (aged 61.3 ± 6.0 years) with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes were randomly assigned to a community-based exercise program group (n=10) or a control group (n=10). The community-based exercise program was multicomponent, three days per week for 32 weeks, and included walking, resistance and aquatic exercises. Body composition and bone mineral density were measured pre and post-training by dual X-ray absorptiometry. In the exercise group significant increases were found in the ward’s triangle bone mineral density (+7.8%, p=0.043), and in fat-free mass (+2.4%, p=0.018). The findings suggest that regular multicomponent training is effective in preventing osteoporosis and sarcopenia among postmenopausal women with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes.

Background and objectives: Low vitamin D is a global problem in all age groups as is osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. The present study was carried out in an urban hospital to assess serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level and bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women (PMW) and to evaluate correlation between serum 25(OH)D levels and BMD. Methods: A single center cross-sectional study was conducted among 133 apparently healthy PMW aged 45 years and above with the history of complete cessation of menstruation over a period of more than 1 year. Serum 25(OH)D, BMD and serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) were determined. Patients having both vitamin D and BMD values were analyzed for correlations. Similarly, correlation of vitamin D, iPTH and BMD were determined. Results: Among the study population, 63 (47.4%) had deficient (<20 ng/ml), 46 (34.6%) had insufficient (20-30ng/ml) and 24(18%) had sufficient (30-100ng/ml) levels of serum 25(OH)D. Among the 121 patients whose BMD was done, 52 (43.0%) and 60 (49.6%) had osteoporosis and osteopenia respectively. Serum iPTH levels were normal in 34 (89.5%) patients. The proportion of osteopenia and osteoporosis in vitamin D deficient group were 44.1% and 50.8% and in insufficient group 47.5 and 45.0%, respectively. Age had significant negative correlation with BMD value (r=-0.246, p=.005) and significant positive correlation with serum iPTH (r=0.358, p=.024). There was no statistically significant influence of serum 25(OH)D or iPTH on occurrence of osteoporosis (P=0.322 and P=0.592 respectively). Conclusion: A large proportion of postmenopausal women had low vitamin D levels and as well as osteopenia and osteoporosis. Low vitamin D level coexisted with low BMD. However, there was no correlation between serum 25(OH)D levels and BMD status. IMC J Med Sci 2018; 12(2): 44-49

Asthma is the most common chronic respiratory illness affecting children. Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) form the main treatment modality in asthma. Reduction in bone mineral density (BMD) is an important adverse effect of steroid usage. This side effect is an established entity with oral corticosteroids but minimal with ICS therapy. However, there are reports regarding the detrimental effect of chronic therapy with ICS. Long-term high-dose budesonide more than 800 μg/day has been shown to reduce the BMD. However, this effect was not consistently seen with moderate doses of 400–800 μg/day. Anticipating the impact of steroids on bone metabolism and monitoring for it is essential. Annual monitoring of Vitamin-D levels and BMD in children on chronic therapy is beneficial for the early detection and management of steroid-induced osteopenia. Judicious ICS use at the lowest effective dose should be tailor-made for every individual.

Background. Osteoporosis and type 2 diabetes are common comorbidities in postmenopausal women. An important role in the bone remodeling over the menopausal transition can be played by cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). It was shown that allelic variants in polymorphic positions of the genes of cytokines and MMPs affect the expression of these molecules under normal and pathological conditions. Aims. To examine associations between polymorphisms in the gene promoters of cytokines (TNFA, IL1B, IL4, IL6, IL10, VEGFA) and MMPs (MMP2, MMP3, MMP9) with bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes. Materials and methods. We studied 197 Caucasian diabetic women, from 50 to70 years of age. An examination of BMD in the spine, proximal femur and forearm was performed by DEXA. Thirteen polymorphisms in the promoters of TNFA: -238 A/G (rs361525), -308 A/G(rs1800629) and -863 C/A (rs1800630), IL1B: -31 C/T (rs1143627), IL4: -590 C/T (rs2243250), IL6: -174 C/G (rs1800795), IL10: -592 C/A (rs1800872) and -1082 A/G (rs1800896), VEGFA: -2578 C/A (rs699947) and +936 C/T (rs3025039), MMP2: -1306 C/T (rs243865), MMP3: -1171 5A/6A (rs3025058) and MMP9: -1562 C/T (rs3918242), were investigated. Results. Seventy-three women had normal BMD, in 90 ones we revealed osteopenia, and 34 women had osteoporosis. Age, BMI and smoking were strongest predictors of BMD in multivariate regression analysis (p0.0001, p=0.003 and p=0.01, respectively). In the additive model, C allele and CC genotype in MMP9 -1562 position were associated with low BMD (OR 2.16, p=0.0007 and OR 2.02, p=0.0008, respectively). Association of the polymorphism with BMD remained significant after adjustment for clinical risk factors (p0.001). Twelve combinations of genotypes, associated positively with low BMD, were revealed by bioinformatic analysis (all p0.005). The СС genotype in position -1562 of MMP9, CC genotype in position -863 of TNFA, GG genotype in position -308 of TNFA, and AA genotype in position -1082 of IL10 were the most prevalent variants in these combinations. Conclusions. Variability in the gene promoters of cytokines and MMPs may confer individual susceptibility to osteoporosis in postmenopausal type 2 diabetic women.
