Abstract Background A body mass index (BMI) of less than 19 is a known risk factor for the development of osteoporosis and thus increases the propensity of one having a fragility fracture. Bone mineral density (BMD) referrals are aided by the FRAX™ tool, which contains BMI in order to calculate the ten-year fracture risk. We aimed to investigate the effect of percentage body fat on risk of fracture referred for BMD estimation. Methods Between June 2004 and October 2015, patients were referred for bone mineral density (BMD) estimation in a scanner in the North West of England. All patients were referred with all FRAX™ indications including rheumatoid arthritis, excess alcohol, steroids, family history of fracture and secondary osteoporosis. The cohort was divided into quintiles of ascending body mass percentage. Logistical regression was then applied before adjusting for age at scan, gender and total left BMD comparing patients with a fracture and those that had not. Results 35,759 patients were referred for scanning during the period. 22,765 (63.66%) were referred for BMD estimation and had body fat percentage measured. Mean age at scan was 63.16 (SD 12.86) and 18,961 (88.29%) of the cohort were females. 8,072 (35.46%) had a fracture. More fractures were seen in higher quintiles of percentage body fat, 1,693 (20.97%) compared to 1,580 (19.57%) in females (p = <0.05). Predictors shown in the Table 1 below adjusted for age at scan, gender and total left BMD. Logistical regression of the quintiles after adjustment shows statistical significance in quintiles 3, 4 and 5 as well as for age at scan and total left BMD. Other predictors did not shows statistical significance p > 0.05. Conclusion Our study of 22,765 patients referred for BMD estimations opposes current literature on the effect of BMI on fragility fractures. The data shows that increasing percentage body fat in associated with an increased propensity of fragility fractures in those with BMI as a FRAX™ indicator. Currently percentage body fact is not featured in the FRAX™ tool and further work needs to be done to show the relationship between fracture risk and percentage body fat. Disclosures D.T.

Osteoporosis develops in women with chronic anorexia nervosa. To determine whether bone mass is reduced in younger patients as well, bone density was studied in a group of adolescent patients with anorexia nervosa. With single- and dual-photon absorptiometry, a comparison was made of bone mineral density of midradius, lumbar spine, and whole body in 18 girls (12 to 20 years of age) with anorexia nervosa and 25 healthy control subjects of comparable age. Patients had significantly lower lumbar vertebral bone density than did control subjects (0.830 ± 0.140 vs 1.054 ± 0.139 g/cm2) and significantly lower whole body bone mass (0.700 ± 0.130 vs 0.955 ± 0.130 g/cm2). Midradius bone density was not significantly reduced. Of 18 patients, 12 had bone density greater than 2 standard deviations less than normal values for age. The diagnosis of anorexia nervosa had been made less than 1 year earlier for half of these girls. Body mass index correlated significantly with bone mass in girls who were not anorexic (P < .05, .005, and .0001 for lumbar, radius, and whole body, respectively). Bone mineral correlated significantly with body mass index in patients with anorexia nervosa as well. In addition, age at onset and duration of anorexia nervosa, but not calcium intake, activity level, or duration of amenorrhea correlated significantly with bone mineral density. It was concluded that important deficits of bone mass occur as a frequent and often early complication of anorexia nervosa in adolescence. Whole body is considerably more sensitive than midradius bone density as a measure of cortical bone loss in this illness. Low body mass index is an important predictor of this reduction in bone mass.

Low Bmi

Diabetes mellitus (DM) cases are increasing worldwide, especially in Saudi Arabia. Previous studies suggested a positive relationship between body mass index (BMI) and bone mineral density (BMD) levels. Generally, patients with low BMI (<18.5 kg/m2) have reduced BMD levels and, thus, low T-scores; hence, they are categorized as osteopenic or osteoporotic. In this study, we aimed to determine whether a relationship between BMI and BMD T-scores in the hip and spine regions of patients with diabetes exists. This retrospective record review investigated older adult patients with diabetes in King Abdulaziz University Hospital (n=198; age 50–90 years) who underwent BMD scan between January 1, 2016, and June 25, 2018, regardless of their sex but limited to type 2 DM. The height and weight of all subjects were recorded, and BMI was calculated and categorized. We used SPSS version 21 for data analysis; measures of central tendencies, Pearson’s correlations, chi-square tests, and independent t-tests were employed. We found positive relationships between BMI and BMD T-scores in the hip and spine regions (right femoral neck: R=+0.214, P≤0.002; total right hip: R=+0.912, P≤0.001; left femoral neck: R=+0.939, P≤0.001; total left hip: R=+0.885, P≤0.001; and total lumbar region: R=+0.607, P≤0.001). Low BMI (<18.5 kg/m2) could be a risk factor for osteoporosis, whereas normal/high BMI could be protective against osteoporosis among adults with diabetes.
