Abstract Background Nutritional factors including vitamin D, magnesium, and fat are known to affect bone mineral accrual. This study aimed to evaluate associations between dietary nutrient intakes (both macronutrients and micronutrients) and bone mineral density (BMD) in children and adolescents. Methods Data for this cross-sectional, population-based study were derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Participants aged from 8 to 19 years were included. The primary outcome was femoral neck BMD. Results Multivariate analyses revealed that for participants aged 8 to 11, daily sodium intake was significantly and positively associated with femoral neck BMD (B = 0.9 ×  10− 5, p = 0.031); in particular, subgroup analyses by sex found that in male participants aged 8–11, daily total cholesterol intake (B = 5.3 × 10− 5, p = 0.030) and calcium intake (B = − 2.0 × 10− 5, p < 0.05) were significantly associated with femoral neck BMD in a positive and negative manner, respectively, but neither were observed in female participants of this age group. In contrast, daily intakes of vitamin D and magnesium were significantly and positively associated with femoral neck BMD in female participants aged 8–11 (B = 246.8 × 10− 5 and 16.3 × 10− 5, p = 0.017 and 0.033, respectively). For participants aged 16 to 19, daily total fat intake was significantly and negatively associated with femoral neck BMD (B = − 58 × 10− 5, p = 0.048); further stratification by sex found that magnesium and sodium intakes were significantly and positively associated with femoral neck BMD only in females of this age group (B = 26.9 × 10− 5 and 2.1 × 10− 5, respectively; both p < 0.05). However, no significant associations between daily nutrient intakes and femoral neck BMD were identified in participants aged 12–15 before or after subgroup stratification. Conclusion The study found that associations of specific nutrition-related variables with BMD of the femoral neck is dependent upon age and gender.

Abstract Background The aim of the present study was to study longitudinal changes in bone mineral density (BMD), vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in females over a 10-year period after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). Methods Twenty-three women, mean age 43.4 ± 8.7 years and mean body mass index (BMI) 44.6 ± 5.17 kg/m2 at baseline, were included. BMD, BMI, S-calcium, S-25(OH)-vitamin D, and fP-PTH were measured preoperatively and 2, 5, and 10 years postoperatively. Results Ten years after surgery, BMD of the spine and femoral neck decreased by 20% and 25%, respectively. Changes in serum levels of vitamin D, PTH, and calcium over the same period were small. Conclusion After LRYGB with subsequent massive weight loss, a large decrease in BMD of the spine and femoral neck was seen over a 10-year postoperative period. The fall in BMD largely occurred over the first 5 years after surgery.

Abstract Background: Osteoporosis among adult males is a major and under-recognized problem in the United States. Patients with hemophilia have several predisposing risks for developing decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis, and may represent an important group to target for screening and treatment for fracture prevention. Patients and Methods: Patients over the age of 18 with moderate or severe hemophilia A or B (as defined by factor activity < 5%) and no history of prophylactic factor use prior to age 10 were eligible. Bone mineral densities were obtained using DEXA scans (DXA) along with measurements of joint mobility and physical activity and laboratory parameters. Results: Twenty-eight patients have been consented with accrual ongoing. 21 have undergone DXA scans. Median age of 39 (range 18–61), 86% HCV positive, 26% HIV positive. Median T-score for all sites (lumbar, femoral neck, hip, and other) was −1.7 (−5.8–0.6), with the most effected area being the femoral neck, T-score −1.7 (−5.8–0.8). Based on WHO criteria, 76% of patients had decreased BMD, 33% (n=7) with osteoporosis, and 43% (n=9) with osteopenia. Trends associated with decreased BMD included decreased serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D levels, increased alkaline phosphatase, and decreased weight. All patients with osteoporosis were HCV positive, and all HIV positive patients had decreased BMD. Median activity scores were lower among osteoporotic patients vs normal BMD. Joint range-of-motion in the lower extremities was limited to 59.5% of predicted values in patients with osteoporosis, 84% in osteopenia, and 93% in patients with normal BMD. Summary: Patients with hemophilia are at markedly increased risk for developing osteoporosis and osteopenia. Potential predictors of risk for decreased BMD are concurrent HCV and HIV infection, low vitamin D levels, elevated alkaline phosphatase, lower weight, decreased range of motion and lower activity scores. More aggressive screening for decreased BMD among moderate and severe hemophilia patients with initiation of therapy is appropriate. Median Values Worst T-Score Activity Score (1–5) Joint ROM (% Pred) Weight (kg) 25-Hydroxy-D (ng/mL) Alk Phos (IU/L) Normal BMD 0.1 5 94.0 91.6 28.0 59 Osteopenia −1.6 4 85.0 80.7 23.0 86 Osteoporosis −3.0 3 68.5 73.0 21.8 99

Abstract Introduction: Teriparatide, a parathyroid hormone analog, is an important anabolic agent approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to increase bone mineral density in osteoporotic patients. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates calcium, phosphate, and active vitamin-D metabolites.The amino terminal peptide fragments of PTH has been known to increase bone mass and are being used in clinical practice for osteoporosis management (1). Current literature shows the efficacy of teriparatide in increasing bone density of lumbar spine and femoral neck, and decreasing the risk of vertebral and non-vertebral fractures both in postmenopausal women and men. It is also known to prevent fractures in patients with osteoporosis and promote healing of fractures (2). Case Description: A 79-year-old Hispanic female with history of osteopenia and major lumbar spine wedge compression fractures presented to our clinic for consultation. She was on ibandronate for the past four months and was having symptoms of pill esophagitis. Her last bone mineral density done on August 2017 revealed T-score of -2.5 at the lumbar spine, -1.5 at the left femoral neck, and 3.3% bone loss on the left femoral head. Rather than being started on teriparatide, zoledronic acid, or denosumab, she continued ibandronate along with calcium and vitamin D. Two months after the initial consultation, she sustained a traumatic fracture of the posterior arch and body of C2 bilaterally following a motor vehicle accident. There were discussions about starting anabolic treatment, as serial imaging did not show any significant improvement in the healing process despite the use of a collar. Two months after sustaining C2 fracture, she was started on teriparatide. Repeat cervical spine x-ray three months later showed complete healing of the C2 fracture. Discussion: There are a limited number of cases reported in regards to teriparatide induced healing of non-osteoporotic fractures (3). Our case is one of the very few reported to have shown complete radiographic and clinical healing of a traumatic, non-osteoporotic fracture after use of teriparatide for 12 weeks.

Abstract Background Children and adolescents with perinatal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and with low bone mineral density (BMD) may be at higher risk of osteoporosis and fractures in later life than their uninfected peers. Bisphosphonate therapy has been shown to reduce fractures in adults with osteoporosis, but has not been formally studied in youths living with HIV. Methods Fifty-two children and adolescents (aged 11–24 years) perinatally infected with HIV with low lumbar spine (LS) BMD (Z score &lt; −1.5) were randomized to receive once-weekly alendronate or placebo in a double-blind cross-over study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of 48 and 96 weeks of alendronate in the United States and Brazil. All participants received daily calcium carbonate and vitamin D supplementation and were asked to engage in regular weight-bearing exercise. Safety and efficacy are summarized for the initial 48 weeks of the trial. Results Grade 3 or higher abnormal laboratory values, signs, or symptoms developed in 5 of 32 (16%) participants on alendronate and 2 of 18 (11%) on placebo (P &gt; .99). No cases of jaw osteonecrosis, atrial fibrillation, or nonhealing fractures were reported. Mean increases (95% confidence interval) in LS BMD over 48 weeks were significantly larger on alendronate (20% [14%–25%]) than placebo (7% [5%–9%]) (P &lt; .001). Similar improvements were seen for whole body BMD. Conclusions In this small study in children and adolescents perinatally infected with HIV with low LS BMD, 48 weeks of alendronate was well-tolerated, showed no safety concerns, and significantly improved LS and whole body BMD compared to participants on vitamin D/calcium supplementation and exercise alone. Clinical Trials Registration NCT00921557.

ABSTRACT Background Macro- and micronutrients, such as proteins, vitamin D, and calcium (Ca), are important dietary factors that can modify bone mineral density (BMD). Genetic factors can interact with diet, affecting an individual's predisposition to osteoporosis. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the associations between macro- and micronutrient intakes and BMD in Mexican postmenopausal women, and their interactions with genetic polymorphisms involved in the vitamin D metabolic pathway. Methods We analyzed data from 317 postmenopausal women from the Health Workers Cohort Study, a longitudinal cohort studied in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Postmenopausal women participated in 2 data collection waves (2004–2006 and 2010–2011), with a mean time of 6.4 years. Dietary intake was assessed with a semi-quantitative FFQ. BMD (femoral neck, hip, and lumbar spine) was measured by DXA. Hybrid mixed-effects regression models were used to assess the associations of dietary macro- and micronutrients on BMD, after adjusting for confounding factors and for diet and single nucleotide polymorphism interactions. Results At baseline, the median age was 57 years (IQR, 50–64). Mean femoral neck, hip, and lumbar spine BMDs decreased over time. We observed statistically significant longitudinal associations for diet (Ca, vitamin D, magnesium, phosphorus, and protein intake) and BMD. Increases of vitamin D, Ca, and protein intakes by 1 SD were associated with mean increases in the femoral neck BMD (0.083 SD, 0.064 SD, and 0.130 SD, respectively). Multiple significant interactions were identified between several loci (CYP2R1, CYP24A1, CYP27B1, VDR, and DHCR7/NADSYN1) and diet for BMDs (femoral neck, hip, and lumbar spine), mainly for protein intake. Conclusions Our data support associations of vitamin D, Ca, protein, phosphorous, and magnesium consumption with BMD in Mexican postmenopausal women and suggest possible gene-diet interactions. These results could facilitate future personalized nutrition recommendations to help prevent low BMD.

OBJECTIVE: To verify associations between osteopenia/osteoporosis and vitamin D and sarcopenia in the older adult population of Florianopolis, Brazil. METHODS: A cross-sectional population-based study, with 604 older adults (60 years and over). The appendicular muscle mass index (AMMI) was used to identify sarcopenia, with cutoffs of AMMI (Kg/m2) < 7.26 kg/m2 for men and < 5.50 kg/m2 for women indicating inadequate values (sarcopenia). The independent variable osteopenia/osteoporosis was measured using bone mineral density (BMD, g/cm2): T-Scores for whole body BMD, lumbar spine BMD, and femoral neck BMD, categorized as normal (BMD ≥ -1 SD) or osteopenia/osteoporosis (BMD < -1 SD from the mean of the young adult reference population). Fasting serum samples were collected and assayed using the microparticle chemiluminescence (CMIA)/Liaison method. Vitamin D concentrations of < 30 ng/mL were defined as hypovitaminosis. Crude and adjusted logistic regression analyses were performed. RESULTS: Osteopenia/osteoporosis in the lumbar spine and femoral neck were associated with higher odds of sarcopenia in women and men. Osteopenia/osteoporosis in the whole body was associated with sarcopenia in women only. Vitamin D was not associated with sarcopenia in either sex. CONCLUSIONS: Having osteopenia/osteoporosis is associated with sarcopenia in the older adult population.

Abstract In childhood and adolescence, a genetically determined bone mass accumulates, which ensures the strength of the skeleton throughout life. But with thyrotoxicosis, a separation of the processes of bone resorption and synthesis and the formation of sites of osteoporosis and osteosclerosis occur, leading to the loss of 10% of bone mass in 1 cycle of remodeling. Because of the lack of information about this phenomenon, our work aimed to study the state of bone mineral density and levels of calciotropic hormones in children and adolescents with thyrotoxicosis. The study was conducted by 19 children and adolescents with thyrotoxicosis. The control group consisted of 23 healthy children and adolescents. All studies were conducted in the RSSPMCE. Thyroid status, PTH and vitamin D were determined using a closed-type immunochemistry analyser Cobas e 411 Hitachi company HoffmanLeRoche (Switzerland) and its reagents. Bone mineral density was evaluated by dual-energy absorptiometry on a Stratos X-ray densitometer from DMS, France. The results of the study showed that the average value of the level of vitamin D in the group with thyrotoxicosis was 12.3 ± 1.1 ng/ml, against 20.4 ± 6.2 ng/ml of the control group, while its deficiency was diagnosed in 84.2%, and its insufficiency - in 15.8% of pediatric patients. In the group with thyrotoxicosis, the average level of PTH was lower and amounted to 45.1 ± 23.9 ng/ml (p < 0.05) compared with the control (49.2 ± 21.3 ng/ml); hypoparathyroidism was found in 4.9 times more often than among healthy children, and 21.1% showed an increase in the level of PTH. In children and adolescents with thyrotoxicosis Z- index of the femoral neck, lumbar vertebrae and the general body were significantly lower than in the control group. 36.8% of children with thyrotoxicosis have osteoporosis. Conclusion: Thyrotoxicosis in children and adolescents causes a decrease in BMD and majorly increases the development of osteoporosis.
