The chronic character of inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, results in various complications. One of them is osteoporosis, manifested by low bone mineral density, which leads to an increased risk of fractures. The aetiology of low bone mineral density is multifactorial and includes both diet and nutritional status. Calcium and vitamin D are the most often discussed nutrients with regard to bone mineral density. Moreover, vitamins A, K, C, B12; folic acid; calcium; phosphorus; magnesium; sodium; zinc; copper; and selenium are also involved in the formation of bone mass. Patients suffering from inflammatory bowel diseases frequently consume inadequate amounts of the aforementioned minerals and vitamins or their absorption is disturbed, resulting innutritional deficiency and an increased risk of osteoporosis. Thus, nutritional guidelines for inflammatory bowel disease patients should comprise information concerning the prevention of osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is one of the most common extraintestinal complications among patients suffering from inflammatory bowel diseases. The role of vitamin D and calcium in the prevention of a decreased bone mineral density is well known, although other nutrients, including micronutrients, are also of extreme importance. Despite the fact that zinc, copper, selenium, iron, cadmium, silicon and fluorine have not been frequently discussed with regard to the prevention of osteoporosis, it is possible that a deficiency or excess of the abovementioned elements may affect bone mineralization. Additionally, the risk of malnutrition, which is common in patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease, as well as the composition of gut microbiota, may be associated with micronutrients status.

Background:Osteoporosis is as known a chronic complication of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Its etiopathogenesis is often multifactorial.Objectives:The aim of our study was to describe the prevalence of reduced bone mineral density and to identify risk factors of osteoporosis in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases.Methods:This is a retrospective study over three years, collecting patients suffering from IBD and having benefited from a bone densitometry. We have specified for each patient the clinical data and the IBD characteristics. Bone mineral density (BMD, g/ cm) was assessed by dual X-ray absorptiometry. Osteoporosis was diagnosed when BMD was 2.5 standard deviations below the mean peak value in young adults (T score,22.5 SD). Patients with other pathology that may change the bone metabolism were excluded.Results:sixty-one patients were included with an average age of 38 ± 13 years [16-73]. The sex ratio M / F was 1.25. 69% of patients had ulcerative colitis. The bone density profile was normal in 49.2% of the cases. Osteoporosis and osteopenia were noted in 13.1% and 37.7% of patients, respectively. Osteoporosis was associated with advanced age (50.5 ± 16.5 years vs 36.26 ± 12.93 years; p = 0.007) and longer course disease (6.75 ± 7, 4 years vs 2.5 ± 4 years; p = 0.015). The cumulative dose of prednisone equivalent used in patients with osteoporosis was significantly higher than the other patients (2775 ± 3338 mg vs 706 ± 1449 mg; p = 0.003). Osteopenia was more frequently associated with crohn’s disease (58% vs 28.6% p = 0.0029). There was no significant difference between the group with osteoporosis or osteopenia and the group with normal bone densitometry for sex and body mass index.Conclusion:Osteoporosis during IBD is associated with advanced age, longer duration of illness and administration of high doses of corticosteroids. The high proportion of osteoporosis and osteopenia in our study underlines the importance of systematic BMD measurement in all IBD patients as a base for initiating the appropriate treatment.References:[1]The prevalence and risk factors for osteoporosis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
