Abstract Background Despite the increased fracture risk, bone mineral density (BMD) is variable in type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D) diabetes mellitus. We aimed at comparing independent BMD predictors in T1D, T2D and control subjects, respectively. Methods Cross-sectional case-control study enrolling 30 T1D, 39 T2D and 69 age, sex and body mass index (BMI) – matched controls that underwent clinical examination, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (BMD at the lumbar spine and femoral neck) and serum determination of HbA1c and parameters of calcium and phosphate metabolism. Results T2D patients had similar BMD compared to T1D individuals (after adjusting for age, BMI and disease duration) and to matched controls, respectively. In multiple regression analysis, diabetes duration – but not HbA1c- negatively predicted femoral neck BMD in T1D (β= -0.39, p = 0.014), while BMI was a positive predictor for lumbar spine (β = 0.46, p = 0.006) and femoral neck BMD (β = 0.44, p = 0.007) in T2D, besides gender influence. Age negatively predicted BMD in controls, but not in patients with diabetes. Conclusions Long-standing diabetes and female gender particularly increase the risk for low bone mass in T1D. An increased body weight partially hinders BMD loss in T2D. The impact of age appears to be surpassed by that of other bone regulating factors in both T1D and T2D patients.

Abstract Background and aims: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) represents a secondary cause of osteoporosis. Our aim was to determine bone mineral density (BMD) changes in a group of young Romanian adults with T1DM and to analyze the factors related to this disease that could have had an impact on bone mass. Material and Methods: Fifty-two young patients with T1DM were compared to 37 healthy volunteers matched for body mass index (BMI). All subjects had their BMD measured at the hip and lumbar spine. Results: We found no statistically significant differences in BMD between T1DM patients and controls (p=0.618 for lumbar spine, p=0.974 for femoral neck and p=0.883 for total hip). Multiple linear regression models detected BMI (p =0.043), smoking (p=0.001) and milk intake (p=0.004 for lumbar spine) as significant BMD determinants. In contrast, no associations were found between BMD and metabolic control, daily insulin dose or presence of diabetic retinopathy and/or neuropathy. Long diabetes duration was negatively associated with BMD in femoral neck (p=0.012). Conclusions: Although we couldn’t find differences between BMD in T1DM patients and controls, the link between diabetes duration and BMD that we found suggests that even young patients with long standing T1DM should have their BMD measured

Abstract It is generally acknowledged that fracture rate is higher in diabetic subjects than non-diabetic subjects. However, the impact of diabetes on bone is less clear due to contradictory results of bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture rate. To date, most of reports were based on the studies from relatively small sample sizes. To clarify the issues, we examined the fracture rates and BMD across a spectrum of glucose tolerance in a representative US population. The participants of the National Health and Nutrition Survey 2005–2010 were used in this study. Among adult subjects (age≥20 years old) with reported BMI, we were able to define the states of glucose tolerance in 31,073 subjects cording to the diagnostic criteria based on HbA1c, fasting glucose, and/or 2-h post-changed glucose with established diabetes and using diabetes medications, into normal glucose tolerance (NGT), abnormal glucose tolerance (AGT), and diabetes mellitus (DM). Those who received osteoporosis medications were excluded from BMD analysis. Fracture information was available in 15,547 subjects; validated hip BMD was available in 12,317 subjects; and validated lumbar spine BMD was available in 10,329 subjects. Fracture rates were compared among 3 groups of glucose tolerance states and odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated in reference to the NGT group with sample weighting. BMD was compared among 3 groups of glucose tolerance with consideration of covariates. The reported osteoporosis diagnosed rate differed among 3 groups of glucose tolerances (3.99%, 5.77%, and 8.41%, P<0.001, for NGT, AGT, and DM respectively). Worsening states of glucose tolerance were associated increased fracture OR at Hip [AGT, 2.1770 (95% CI: 2.1732–2.1807) and DM, 2.7369 (95% CI: 2.7315–2.7423)], spine [AGT, 0.9924 (95% CI: 0.9912–0.9936); DM, 1.2405 (95% CI: 1.2387–1.2423)]. In contrast, a different trend was observed on the wrist fracture rate [AGT, 0.9556 (95% CI: 0.9551–0.9562); DM, 0.9053 (95% CI: 0.9045–0.9060)]. After adjustment for covariates, higher BMD was noted in AGT and DM when compared to NGT at total femur (NGT, 0.9760±0.0015 gm/cm2; AGT, 0.9853±0.0021 gm/cm2; DM 0.9847±0.0034 gm/cm2, mean±SE, P=0.001) and femoral neck (NGT, 0.8388±0.0015 gm/cm2; AGT, 0.8474±0.0020 gm/cm2; DM, 0.8496±0.0032 gm/cm2, P=0.0007) while no difference was found in lumbar spine BMD (NGT, 0.1.0441±0.0018 gm/cm2; AGT, 1.0406±0.0025 gm/cm2; DM, 1.0464±0.0041 gm/cm2, P=0.35). Our observed significant increased fracture risk at hip (OR: 2.7369) and lumbar spine (OR: 1.2405) in DM subjects when compared to NGT subjects. DM subjects had higher BMD at total femur and femoral neck than NGT subjects while no difference was noted at lumbar spine BMD when compared to NGT subjects. Further studies are required to explore the discrepancy between the increased fracture risk with higher BMDs in diabetes.

Background. Besides lipid-lowering effect of statins, they have been shown to have nonlipid lowering effects, such as improving bone health. An improvement in bone mineral density (BMD) has been indicated in some studies after the use of statins, in addition to an increase in 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) level. The aim of this study is to explore the association between statins and bone health taking into consideration 25OHD level and BMD.Methods. This is a randomized, cross-sectional comparative study. Subjects were divided into two groups, hypercholesterolemic participants taking simvastatin or atorvastatin as the study group and a matched control group not taking statins. All participants were assessed for serum 25OHD and BMD at lumbar spine and femoral neck.Results. A total of 114 participants were included in the study, 57 participants in each group. Results of serum 25OHD showed no significant difference between study and control groups (P=0.47), while BMD results of lumbar spine and femoral neck showed significant difference (P=0.05and 0.03, resp.).Conclusion. Simvastatin and atorvastatin, at any dose for duration of more than one year, have no additive effect on 25OHD level but have a positive effect on the BMD.

Background. This cross-sectional study investigated the bone mineral density (BMD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) subjects with or without chronic periodontitis (CP). Methods. A total of 120 subjects aged 35‒55, divided equally into four groups: i) T2DM with CP, ii) T2DM without CP, iii) CP alone, and iv) healthy patients, were included in this study. Clinical parameters like plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and probing pocket depth (PPD) were recorded. All the participants were evaluated for blood sugar levels using glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and BMD by Hologic dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. The association of BMD with clinical periodontal parameters and HbA1c in all groups was investigated using linear correlation analysis (r). Results. The mean value of BMD (0.9020±0.0952 g/cm2) was lower in subjects with both T2DM and CP compared to T2DM and CP alone. BMD was weakly correlated with all the clinical periodontal parameters; a positive correlation was observed between BMD and GI in the T2DM and CP group (r=0.405, P=0.026) and the CP group (r=0.324, P=0.081). A weak positive correlation was observed in BMD and HbA1c in the T2DM group (r=0.261, P=0.13), T2DM and CP group (r=0.007, P=0.970), with a negative correlation to HbA1c in the CP group (r= -0.134, P=0.479). Conclusions: Diabetes mellitus impacts clinical periodontal status and bone mass, and the effect is accentuated when chronic periodontitis is present. Based on the present study, BMD is associated with T2DM and CP, but a weak correlation was observed between BMD and HbA1c and clinical periodontal parameters.

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe effect of long-term inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy on the bone health of older adults remains unclear due to its possible impact on bone mineral density (BMD).ObjectiveTo evaluate, cross-sectionally and longitudinally, the impact of ICS use on BMD in postmenopausal women with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).MethodsWe used a population-based bone densitometry registry linked with administrative health data of the province of Manitoba, Canada (1999–2013), to identify women with diagnosed asthma or COPD. ICS use was defined as cumulative dispensed days prior to baseline BMD (cross-sectional analysis), and medication possession ratio (MPR) between two BMD measurements (longitudinal analysis). Results were adjusted for multiple covariates including the underlying respiratory diagnosis and its severity.ResultsIn the cross sectional analysis, compared with non-users, women with the highest tertile of prior ICS exposure had lower baseline BMD at the femoral neck (-0.09 standard deviations [SD] below a healthy young adult, 95% CI: −0.16, −0.02) and total hip (-0.14 SD, 95% CI: −0.22, −0.05), but not at the lumbar spine. Longitudinally, the highest tertile of ICS exposure was associated with a slight decline in total hip BMD relative to non-users (-0.02 SD/year, 95% CI: −0.04, −0.01), with no significant effect at the femoral neck and lumbar spine. Middle and lower tertiles of ICS use had no significant effects.ConclusionHigh exposure to ICS was associated with a small adverse effect on baseline hip BMD and total hip BMD loss in post-menopausal women with asthma or COPD.
