The aim of the study was to improve the quality of densitometric evaluations of bone mineral density disorders. Dual-energy x-ray absorbtiometry data collected in 874 females were analyzed. All patients had got bone mineral density examination of the lumbar spine, proximal femur at the both sides; some of the patients also had been measured at the distal radius. We hypothesize that the judgment of diagnostic categories (osteoporosis stages) should include consideration of bone mineral density data both for L2-L4 and for any of two adjacent vertebra, as well as variations of the femur neck data between the two sides. Ultradistal forearm bone densitometry was carried out for osteopenic patients who had had a Colles'fracture -to estimate fracture risk for the opposite radius. The osteoporotic fracture threshold for such cases may be at T-Score of -.1.

In order to examine the effects of Kami-kihi-to (KKT or Jia-Wei-Gui-Pi-Tang) on osteopenia, we measured bone mineral density using computed X-ray absorptometry and monitored metabolism and bone tissue in an ovariectomized (OVX) rat model. Bone mineral density was significantly lower in the OVX group than in normal group 3 months after ovariectomy. However, the bone mineral density of the OVX group administered KKT was clearly higher than that of the untreated OVX group. Locomotor activity was regular in the normal group and in the OVX groups before administration of KKT. After 6-month administration of KKT, in OVX groups, the pattern of locomotor activity became diphasic with clear active and resting phases, as was also observed in the normal group. The locomotor activity did not decrease in the OVX groups after administration of KKT. At 6 months, the continuity of the trabecular bone was higher in the OVX group administered KKT than in the untreated OVX group. These results indicate that KKT improved the menopausal symptoms and increased the locomotor activity of the OVX group, thereby increasing bone mineral density.

Abstract Background Osteoporosis is a major health problem of elders. Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is the commonly used modality for diagnosis osteoporosis; serum markers have been suggested for predicting osteoporosis and discriminate osteoporotic from healthy subjects. We aimed to analyze the status of some bone turnover biochemical markers namely PINP, B-ALP, estrogen, and progesterone in the elderly osteoporotic and osteopenic women as probable markers for the discrimination between patients and healthy individual in diagnosing osteoporosis, and also, to detect the impact of osteoporosis on quality of life of patients using assessment of the quality of life for osteoporosis (ECOS-16). Post-menopausal 108 females were involved in the current study, divided into two groups (osteoporotic group (60 with BMD˂-2.5), osteopenic group (48 with BMD between − 1 and − 2.5)), and 60 healthy elderly females as control group were involved in the study. Serum levels of procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP), bone alkaline phosphatase (B-ALP), estrogen, and progesterone were measured by ELISA technique. Results PINP and B-ALP significantly differ between studied groups. Also, PINP and B-ALP levels had high sensitivity and specificity to discriminate osteoporotic patients from healthy individuals. PINP and B-ALP significantly correlated with bone mineral density (BMD) and with ECOS-16. Estrogen differs significantly between osteoporotic and osteopenic groups and significantly correlated with bone mineral density of femur (BMD-F) and bone mineral density of spine (BMD-S) in the osteopenic group. Progesterone differed significantly between patients and controls and significantly correlated with BMD-F in the osteoporotic group. Conclusion We can consider PINP and B-ALP as biomarkers for early detection then monitoring of osteoporosis. Measuring these serum markers can replace the assessment of BMD if not available. Also, it could replace the gap between BMD subsequently spaced assessment or could be of value in cases with severe spondylosis, DISH syndrome, old spondylarthritis, and/or previous spinal surgery. Sex hormones could not differentiate the normal from the osteoporotic/osteopenic patients, so they cannot be used as diagnostic or prognostic markers. Validation of this assumption needs large and longitudinal studies.

Background:Lean mass, mainly composed of muscle, has been correlated to bone mineral density (BMD) [4]. Studies reported that lean mass has an important impact on BMD not only in young women but also in postmenopausal women [1]. High lean mass is more favorable for the BMD than low lean mass. Some studies suggested that genetic factors responsible for both lean mass and BMD are shared [3]. Low muscle mass and low BMD could impair the quality of the patient’s life [2, 5].Objectives:The aim of this study is to assess the impact of the lean mass with body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry on the bone mineral density.Methods:107 women underwent body composition analysis by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Lean mass in kg and BMD in kg/cm2 were analyzed. Normal BMD was defined as T-score > -1.0 standard deviation (SD). Osteopenia was defined as T-score between -1.0 SDs and -2.5 SDs and osteoporosis was defined as T-score ≤ - 2.5 SDs.Results:The mean age of the women was 57 years (yrs.) ± 11 yrs. (range 41 yrs. – 80 yrs.). Subjects had mean weight of 75 kg ± 12 kg (range 50 kg – 110 kg) and mean height of 156 cm ± 9 cm (range 151 cm – 172 cm). 73/107 women (68.2%) were with normal BMD, 24/107 women (22.4%) were with osteopenia and 10/107 women (9.4%) were with osteoporosis. Lean mass differed significantly between the groups (p = 0.000). Women with normal BMD had the highest mean lean mass (58.47 kg) and the mean lean mass of the women with osteopenia and osteoporosis decreased as follow: 47.56 kg for women with osteopenia and 36.22 kg for women with osteoporosis.Conclusion:Women with osteoporosis have the lowest lean mass compared to the women with osteopenia and osteoporosis.References:[1]Ilesanmi-Oyelere BL, Coad J, Roy N, Kruger MC.

Clinical psychological factors may predict medical diseases. Anxiety level has been associated with osteoporosis, but its role on bone mineral density (BMD) change is still unknown. This study aimed to investigate the association between anxiety levels and both adherence and treatment response to oral bisphosphonates (BPs) in postmenopausal osteoporosis. BMD and anxiety levels were evaluated trough dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), respectively. Participants received weekly medication with alendronate or risedronate and were grouped according to the HAM-A scores into tertiles (HAM-A 3 > HAM-A 2 > HAM-A 1). After 24 months, BMD changes were different among the HAM-A tertiles. The median lumbar BMD change was significantly greater in both the HAM-A 2 and HAM-A 3 in comparison with the HAM-A 1. The same trend was observed for femoral BMD change. Adherence to BPs was >75% in 68% of patients in the HAM-A 1, 79% of patients in the HAM-A 2, and 89% of patients in the HAM-A 3 (p = 0.0014). After correcting for age, body mass index, depressive symptoms, and the 10-yr. probability of osteoporotic fractures, anxiety levels independently predicted lumbar BMD change (β = 0.3417, SE 0.145, p = 0.02). In conclusion, women with higher anxiety levels reported greater BMD improvement, highlighting that anxiety was associated with adherence and response to osteoporosis medical treatment, although further research on this topic is needed.

Background:Dual energy X-ray absoprtiometry is the reference method to mesure bone mineral density (1). Loss of bone mineral density is significant if it exceeds the least significant change. The threshold value used in general population is 0,03 g/cm2 (2). Patients with obesity are known for having a higher bone mineral density due to metabolism and physiopathology characteristics (3,4).Objectives:The aim of our study was to determine the least significant change in bone densitometry in patients with obesity.Methods:We conducted an interventionnal study in 120 patients with obesity who performed a bone densitometry. We measured twice the bone mineral density at the lumbar spine, the femoral neck and the total hip in the same time (5,6). We determined the least significant change in bone densitometry from each pair of measurements, using the Bland and Altman method. We also determined the least significant change in bone densitometry according to each stage of obesity.Results:The least significant change in bone densitometry in patients with obesity is 0,046g/cm2 at the lumbar spine, 0.069 g/cm2 at the femoral neck and 0.06 g/cm2 at the total hip.Conclusion:The least significant change in bone densitometry in patients with obesity is higher than in general population. These results may improve DXA interpretation in this specific population, and may personnalize their medical care.References:[1]Lees B, Stevenson JC.
