REVISTA BRASILEIRA DE PSIQUIATRIA (SAO PAULO, BRAZIL : 1999) 2021; 43:355-361. [PMID: 32965431 PMCID: PMC8352740 DOI: 10.1590/1516-4446-2020-0932] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2020] [Accepted: 07/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The role of mood disorders in cancer onset is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between mood disorder and incident cancer in a population-based sample of women. METHODS Data were derived from women aged 28-94 years participating in the Geelong Osteoporosis Study. Mood disorder was identified via Clinical Interview (SCID-I/NP). Cancer data was obtained following linkage with the Victorian Cancer Registry. Demographic and lifestyle factors were self-reported. Nested case-control and retrospective study designs were utilized. RESULTS In the case-control study (n=807), mood disorder was documented for 18 of the 75 (9.3%) cancer cases and among 288 controls (24.0% vs. 39.3%, p = 0.009). Prior exposure to mood disorder was associated with reduced cancer incidence (OR 0.49, 95%CI 0.28-0.84); this was sustained following adjustment for confounders (ORadj 0.52, 95%CI 0.30-0.90). In the retrospective cohort study (n=655), among 154 women with a history of mood disorder at baseline, 13 (8.5%) developed incident cancer during follow-up, whereas among 501 women with no history of mood disorder, 54 (10.8%) developed incident cancer. Exposure to mood disorder was not associated with incident cancer over the follow-up period (HR 0.58, 95%CI 0.31-1.08, p = 0.09). CONCLUSION Mood disorder was associated with reduced odds of cancer onset. However, this finding was not supported in the retrospective cohort study. Larger studies able to investigate specific cancers and mood disorders as well as underlying mechanisms in both men and women are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Separately, mental and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are prevalent across the life course and are leading contributors to disability worldwide. While people with personality disorder (PD) have been shown to have an increased risk of certain physical health comorbidities-associations with MSDs have not been thoroughly explored. The proposed scoping review aims to explore the existing clinical- and population-based literature on the comorbidity of PD and MSDs among adults ≥ 18 years and the burden associated with their comorbidity, identify knowledge gaps on this topic, and propose recommendations for future research. METHODS This protocol describes the methodology to undertake the scoping review. It is guided by Arksey and O'Malley's framework and the extensions recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute. A comprehensive search strategy will be used to identify relevant articles, which will be underpinned by Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) inclusion criteria. One author will perform the search and two authors will independently screen titles/abstracts followed by a full-text review for articles considered relevant. The supervising author will confirm the final selection of articles to be included. One author will extract relevant information from the articles using a predetermined charting form, while a second will perform validation of all information entered. DISCUSSION Information will be synthesised to inform a discussion of what is known regarding associations between PD and MSDs, and the burden associated with their comorbidity in different contexts, with future research directions proposed. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION This protocol is registered in Open Science Framework Registries ( https://osf.io/mxbr2/ ).

Abstract
Maternal nutritional intake, such as folate and folic acid supplementation, during pregnancy may affect offspring bone health during childhood. We aimed to determine the associations between maternal dietary and supplementary folate intake and offspring bone health measures, including fracture risk. Data were obtained from 160 of 475 mother-child pairs who had returned for the 11-year follow up of the Vitamin D in Pregnancy Study, an observational cohort study. Incident fractures were ascertained from radiological records and dual X-ray absorptiometry was used to measure bone mineral density and content at 11 years of age. Maternal dietary folate intake during pregnancy was determined by Food Frequency Questionnaire and folate supplementation was determined through self-report. Both measures were undertaken at recruitment (before 16 weeks gestation) and at 28-32 weeks' gestation. Multivariable linear regression models and Cox regression models were used to examine associations. Results are presented as per 1000 µg folate for dietary measures. There were significant associations between maternal folate supplementation in early pregnancy (< 16 weeks gestation) and offspring spine bone mineral content (BMC) (β = 1.53, 95% CI 0.21, 2.86), spine area (β = 1.10, 95% CI 0.37, 1.82) and total body less head area (β = 329.30, 95% CI 3.50, 55.20) at the 11-year follow-up. The association between spine BMC was attenuated after adjustment for bone size (β = 0.13 95% CI - 0.85, 1.10). There was no association between maternal folate supplementation at 28-32 weeks' or maternal dietary intake at either time point with any offspring bone outcome. These data suggest that folate supplementation in early pregnancy may be associated with offspring bone size, but not other bone measures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The current study aimed to assess the association between dairy consumption and constipation in the general adult population. DESIGN Data from the Geelong Osteoporosis Study were used to assess the association between dairy consumption and constipation in women (n=632) and men (n=609). Information on milk, yogurt and cheese, and constipation were self-reported. Total dairy was calculated by summing the intake of milk, yogurt and cheese and expressed as servings per day. Multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for irritable bowel syndrome, major depressive disorders, mobility, body mass index, age and fibre intake were used to examine the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) between the consumption of categories of total dairy, milk, yogurt, cheese, and constipation. RESULTS In women, consumption of 1-2 servings/d of total dairy was associated with reduced odds for constipation (OR: 0.49; 95% CI: 0.26-0.90; P=0.021) compared to consuming <1 serving/d of total dairy after adjusting for covariates. Also, consumption of 1-4 servings/d of milk was associated with marginally reduced odds for constipation (OR: 0.63; 95% CI: 0.39-1.02; P=0.058) compared to women who consumed <1 serving/d of milk after adjusting for covariates. There were no significant associations detected between other types of dairy consumption and constipation in women, and none in men. CONCLUSION In women, consumption of moderate amounts of dairy is associated with reduced odds for constipation whereas in men no associations were detected between dairy consumption and constipation. Further studies are warranted to confirm results.

Abstract
We examined bipolar disorder (BD) as a risk factor for developing cancer and the role of lithium on cancer incidence. We conducted two systematic review and meta-analyses of population-based studies providing data on these associations. We screened articles indexed in MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, and PsycINFO up to August 2020. The first random-effects meta-analysis, based on 4,910,661 individuals from nine studies estimated an increased risk of cancer of any kind [RR = 1.24 (1.05-1.46); p < 0.01], especially breast cancer [RR = 1.33 (1.15-1.55); p < 0.01] in BD. The second random-effects meta-analysis, based on 2,606,187 individuals from five studies did not show increased risk of cancer in people with BD using lithium, and even suggested a small protective effect both in overall [RR = 0.94 (0.72-1.22); p = 0.66] and urinary cancer [RR = 0.93 (0.75-1.14); p = 0.48] although these findings did not reach statistical significance. The current evidence highlights that cancer risk is increased in individuals with BD, particularly breast cancer in women. Lithium may have a potential protective effect on cancer, including urinary cancer. The role of lithium as a mainstay of treatment for BD is reinforced by this study.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the association between serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and frailty. METHODS Participants were 581 men aged 60-90 yr (median (IQR): 74 yr (67-83 yr)) from the Geelong Osteoporosis Study. Tallies of ≥ 3, 1-2 and 0 for weight loss/exhaustion/physical-inactivity/slowness/weakness indicated frailty, pre-frailty and robustness, respectively. Anthropometry, lower-limb muscle strength and physical performance were measured and health behaviours self-reported. Serum IL-6 was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and log-transformed (ln-IL-6). Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) was also measured using quantitative colorimetric determination. Multivariable ordinal logistic regression models tested associations between ln-IL-6 and frailty while considering age, anthropometry, comorbidities, TAC, medications that affect inflammatory processes, lifestyle and socioeconomic status. RESULTS There were 49(8.4%) frail and 315(54.2%) pre-fail men. A relationship was evident between ln-IL-6 and frailty before and after accounting for age (adjusted OR = 1.24, 95%CI 1.01-1.53). Adjusting for medications attenuated the association (OR = 1.20, 95%CI 0.98-1.48). No other confounders were identified. CONCLUSION These data suggest that IL-6 is positively associated with frailty in men, partly explained by advancing age and medications known to affect inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Certain nutrient supplements (nutraceuticals) may target neurobiological pathways perturbed in bipolar disorder (BD) such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Nutraceuticals thus may have a potential role as adjunctive treatments for BD. METHODS A search of Embase via embase.com, PubMed via PubMed, Cumulated index to nursing and allied health literature (CINAHL) Complete via EBSCO, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Clinical Trials via cochranelibrary.com was conducted to identify published randomized controlled trials assessing the efficacy of nutraceuticals on mood symptomatology in adults with BD. Search terms for BD, nutraceuticals, and clinical trials (total search terms = 75) were used to search from inception to February 20, 2020. The Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing the risk of bias in randomized trials was used to assess the risk of bias. RESULTS A total of 1,712 studies were identified through the search. After rigorous screening, 22 studies were included in the review. There was large variability across the studies with 15 different nutraceutical agents assessed and as such insufficient homogeneity for a meta-analysis to be conducted (I2 > 50%). Studies revealed promising, albeit conflicting, evidence for omega-3 fatty acids and N-acetylcysteine. Isolated positive results were reported for coenzyme Q10. CONCLUSION Given nutraceuticals are tolerable and accessible, they may be useful as potential adjunctive treatments for BD. Nutraceuticals targeting neuroinflammation or mitochondrial activity may have the most potential for the depressive phase. However, further studies are required to determine efficacy.

Abstract
Whole blood cytokine release assays (CRA) assessing cellular immunity to gluten could simplify the diagnosis and monitoring of coeliac disease (CD). We aimed to determine the effectiveness of electrochemiluminescence CRA to detect responses to immunodominant gliadin peptides. HLA-DQ2·5+ CD adults (cohort 1, n = 6; cohort 2, n = 12) and unaffected controls (cohort 3, n = 9) were enrolled. Cohort 1 had 3-day gluten challenge (GC). Blood was collected at baseline, and for cohort 1 also at 3 h, 6 h and 6 days after commencing 3-day GC. Gliadin peptide-stimulated proliferation, interferon (IFN)-γ enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) and 14- and 3-plex electrochemiluminescence CRA were performed. Poisson distribution analysis was used to estimate responding cell frequencies. In cohort 1, interleukin (IL)-2 dominated the gliadin peptide-stimulated cytokine release profile in whole blood. GC caused systemic IL-2 release acutely and increased gliadin peptide-stimulated IFN-γ ELISPOT and whole blood CRA responses. Whole blood CRA after GC was dominated by IL-2, but also included IFN-γ, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10/IFN-γ-induced protein 10 (CXCL10/IP-10), CXCL9/monokine induced by IFN-γ (MIG), IL-10, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 3/macrophage inflammatory protein 1-alpha (CCL3/MIP-1α), TNF-α and IL-8/CXCL8. In cohorts 2 and 3, gliadin peptide-stimulated whole blood IL-2 release was 100% specific and 92% sensitive for CD patients on a gluten-free diet; the estimated frequency of cells in CD blood secreting IL-2 to α-gliadin peptide was 0·5 to 11 per ml. Whole blood IL-2 release successfully mapped human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ2·5-restricted epitopes in an α-gliadin peptide library using CD blood before and after GC. Whole blood IL-2 release assay using electrochemiluminescence is a sensitive test for rare gliadin-specific T cells in CD, and could aid in monitoring and diagnosis. Larger studies and validation with tetramer-based assays are warranted.

Abstract
Background Anticonvulsant use has been linked to bone deficits in specific patient populations. We studied the association between anticonvulsant use and bone health in a population-based sample of men and women. Methods Data from 926 men (24-73 yr) and 1070 women (21-94 yr) participating in the Geelong Osteoporosis Study were included. Bone mineral density (BMD, g/cm2) of the PA-spine and total hip was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (Lunar). Bone quality was determined using quantitative heel ultrasound (QUS). Anthropometry was conducted and socioeconomic status was determined. Medication and lifestyle information was obtained via questionnaire. Linear regression was used to test associations between anticonvulsant use and bone health before and after adjustment for potential confounders. Results Seventeen (1.8%) men and 20 (1.9%) women reported anticonvulsant use. In men, anticonvulsant users had 9.1% lower adjusted mean BMD at the spine and hip compared to non-users. Body mass index was an effect modifier at the spine. Anticonvulsant users also had 1.8% lower speed of sound (SOS), 10.6% lower broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) and 13.7% lower stiffness index (SI) compared to non-users. In women, BMD tended to be lower at the hip compared to non-users as with the bone quality measure, BUA. No significant associations were observed at the spine or the other bone quality measures, SOS and SI. Conclusion Our data suggest that bone quantity and quality, assessed using BMD and QUS, are lower for men and possibly women who use anticonvulsants. While further exploration into potential mechanisms is needed, our findings suggest that monitoring bone health among users of anticonvulsants is warranted.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate cross-sectional associations between skeletal muscle density, a proxy measure for fatty infiltration into muscle, and cognition. Contributions from body fat mass, systemic inflammation and lifestyle were explored, as these factors have been identified in both muscle and cognitive deterioration. For 281 men (60-95 year) from the Geelong Osteoporosis Study, radial and tibial muscle density were measured using peripheral quantitative computed tomography. Body fat and appendicular lean mass were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Cognitive function was assessed for psychomotor function (DET), visual identification/attention (IDN), visual learning (OCL) and working memory (OBK) (CogState Brief Battery). Composite scores signified overall cognitive function (OCF). Higher scores represent poorer performance except for OCL and OCF. Regression analyses examined associations between muscle density and cognition; potential confounders included age, muscle cross-sectional area (CSA), body composition, lifestyle and serum markers of inflammation. Negative associations with age were evident for muscle density, all cognitive domains and OCF. Muscle density at both sites was positively associated with DET, OCL and OCF. After adjustment for age, the association persisted for DET (radius: B = - 0.006, p = 0.02; tibia: B = - 0.003, p = 0.04) and OCL (radius B = + 0.004, p = 0.02; tibia: B = + 0.005, p < 0.001). At the radius, further adjustment for serum TNF-α explained the association between muscle density (B = - 0.002, p = 0.66) and DET. Education and physical activity contributed to the model for radial muscle density and DET. There were no contributions from muscle CSA, appendicular lean mass, body fat mass, other markers of inflammation or other potential confounders. At the tibia, the association between muscle density and DET (B = - 0.003, p = 0.04) was independent of TNF-α. There was an age-adjusted association between muscle density and OCL at both sites (radius: B = + 0.004, p = 0.02; tibia: B = + 0.005, p < 0.001). None of the potential confounders contributed to the models. Muscle density was associated with cognitive function in the DET and OCL domains. However, there was little evidence that this was explained by inflammation or body fat mass. No associations were identified between muscle density and IDN or OBK.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Personality disorder (PD) may affect the efficacy of pharmacological interventions for mood disorders, but the extent to which this occurs is uncertain. We aimed to examine the available published evidence concerning the role of PD in pharmacological treatment outcomes of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) for adults with mood disorders (i.e. depressive and bipolar spectrum disorders). METHODS A systematic search of Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Clinical Trials, PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL Complete, and Google Scholar databases was undertaken to identify studies of interest. Data were independently extracted by two reviewers. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool was used to assess methodological quality and risk of bias. A random effects model was utilised and statistical heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistic. This systematic review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42018089279) and the protocol is published. RESULTS The search yielded 11,640 studies. Subsequent to removing duplicates, 9657 studies were screened at title and abstract stage and 1456 were assessed at full-text stage. Eighteen studies met criteria for inclusion in this review. Meta-analysis did not reveal a significant difference between groups for treatment outcome (standardised mean difference 0.22 [-0.09, 0.54]; I2: 69%, p=0.17) and remission (risk ratio 0.84 [0.64, 1.11]; I2: 51%, p=0.22). LIMITATIONS This review was limited by lack of studies on bipolar disorder. CONCLUSION PD comorbidity does not appear to affect treatment efficacy of pharmacological interventions for adults with mood disorders.

Abstract
Dynapenia is a key contributor to physical frailty. Cognitive impairment and dementia accompany frailty, yet links between skeletal muscle and neurocognition are poorly understood. We examined the cross-sectional relationship between lower limb muscle strength and global cognitive function. Participants were 127 women aged 51–87 years, from the Geelong Osteoporosis Study. Peak eccentric strength of the hip-flexors and hip abductors was determined using a hand-held dynamometer, and dynapenia identified as muscle strength t-scores < −1. Cognition was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and MMSE scores below the median were rated as low. Associations between dynapenia and low cognition were examined using logistic regression models. Hip-flexor dynapenia was detected in 38 (71.7%) women with low cognition and 36 (48.7%) with good cognition (p = 0.009); for hip abductor dynapenia, the pattern was similar (21 (39.6%) vs. 9 (12.2%); p < 0.001). While the observed difference for hip-flexor strength was attenuated after adjusting for age and height (adjusted Odds Ratio (OR) 1.95, 95%CI 0.86–4.41), low cognition was nearly 4-fold more likely in association with hip abductor dynapenia (adjusted OR 3.76, 95%CI 1.44–9.83). No other confounders were identified. Our data suggest that low strength of the hip abductors and low cognition are associated and this could be a consequence of poor muscle function contributing to cognitive decline or vice versa. As muscle weakness is responsive to physical interventions, this warrants further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate fracture risk associated with anticonvulsant use in a population-based sample of men and women. METHODS Data from 1,458 participants (51.8% women) with a radiologically confirmed incident fracture (cases) were compared to 1,796 participants (46.5% women) without fracture (controls). Lifestyle factors, medication use and medical history were self-reported. Associations between anticonvulsant use and fracture were explored using binary logistic regression following adjustment for confounders. RESULTS In men, fracture cases and controls differed in age, smoking history, education, alcohol use, and gonadal hormone supplementation. In women, fracture cases and controls differed by previous fracture history, alcohol use, physical activity levels and use of anti-fracture agents. After adjustment for age, pooled anticonvulsant use was associated with a 3.4-fold higher risk of fracture in men and a 1.8-fold higher risk in women. Following further adjustments for confounders these patterns persisted; a 2.8-fold higher fracture risk in men and a 1.8-fold higher fracture risk in women. CONCLUSIONS Anticonvulsant use was associated with increased fracture risk, independent of demographic, lifestyle, medical and medication related factors. While further studies exploring potential underlying mechanisms are warranted, regular monitoring of bone health in anticonvulsant users with risk factors may be useful.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Individuals with schizophrenia are known to be at higher risk of comorbid conditions, both physical and psychological. Osteoporosis is possibly one of these, leading to public health concerns due to higher rates of associated mortality and morbidity. We aim to systematically search all available evidence across electronic databases regarding the relationship between schizophrenia and bone fragility. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A systematic search of the research databases CINAHL, MEDLINE Complete, Embase and PsycINFO will be conducted and identified papers reviewed for eligibility, with a second reviewer confirming inclusions. Searches will be run from database inception to 1 October 2020 and supplemented by the hand checking of references of identified articles. A previously published scoring system will be used for assessing the methodological quality and risk of bias. A meta-analysis is planned. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Due to including published literature only, ethical permission will not be necessary. Results of this study will be published in a relevant scientific journal and presented at a conference in the field of interest. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42020171959.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Tryptophan metabolites influence bone. We aimed to investigate the relationship between dietary tryptophan and bone health in a population-based sample of men and women. Following adjustment for age, dietary tryptophan was not associated with bone quantity or quality, suggesting a non-critical role of superfluous tryptophan on the skeleton. PURPOSE Tryptophan metabolites, such as serotonin, influence bone. We sought to determine the relationship between dietary intake of tryptophan and bone health in a population-based study of men and women. METHODS Participants (1033 women and 900 men, aged 20-98 years) enrolled in the Geelong Osteoporosis Study (GOS) were investigated. Dietary information was collected using a validated questionnaire. Tryptophan levels were calculated (mg/day) in accordance with Food Standards Australia and New Zealand and dichotomised according to the median. Bone mineral density (BMD; g/cm2) was measured at the spine (postero-anterior projection) and total hip using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Stiffness index (SI), broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) and speed of sound (SOS) were derived from quantitative heel ultrasound. Linear regression models were used to test associations between dietary tryptophan and bone health, after adjustment for potential confounders. RESULTS Tryptophan intakes ranged from 112 to 3796 mg/day (median 1035) in men and 115-2869 mg/day (median 885) in women. In men older than 45 years and women, a high tryptophan intake was associated with greater hip BMD compared to participants with a low tryptophan intake (p = 0.002 and p = 0.04, respectively); however, these relationships were attenuated by age (all p > 0.05). Participants with high tryptophan intake had greater BUA and SI compared to participants with low tryptophan intake (men; BUA, p = 0.02 and SI, p = 0.02, and women; BUA, p = 0.03 and SI, p = 0.08), yet also attenuated by age (all p > 0.05). CONCLUSION No association was found between tryptophan intake and bone health in this population, which suggests a non-critical role of superfluous tryptophan consumption on the skeleton.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data are available examining the relationship between mental state disorders (mood, anxiety, substance use, eating disorders), their co-occurrence with personality disorder (PD), and quality of life among women. We aimed to investigate these relationships in a sample of women from the community. METHOD Women from the Geelong Osteoporosis Study (n = 717) were administered the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID-I/NP and SCID-II) and the World Health Organisation Quality of Life scale (WHOQOL-BREF). Weight and height were measured and lifestyle and demographic factors were self-reported. Logistic regression models (odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals) were undertaken to investigate associations among groups (mental state disorders, co-occurring mental state disorders with PD, and controls) and the WHOQOL-BREF domains (physical, psychological, social, and environmental health) while testing for potential confounding. RESULTS Results indicated that mental state disorders were associated with increased risk of low quality of life in physical, psychological, social, but not environmental domains, compared to controls. This risk was increased among women with co-occurring PD across all domains compared to both controls and those with mental state disorders. CONCLUSION These findings add evidence suggesting poor quality of life is experienced by those with mental state disorders, and that this is worsened by the experience of co-occurring PD.

Abstract
Few studies have investigated the prevalence of frailty in the Australian general population. This study determined the prevalence of frailty in a population-based sample of older adults and examined the relationship between frailty and comorbid conditions. Men (n = 347) and women (n = 360) aged ≥ 60 year from the Geelong Osteoporosis Study (GOS) were assessed between 2016-2019 and 2011-2014, respectively. Frailty was identified using a modified Fried frailty phenotype. Prevalence estimates were standardised to the 2011 Australian population. Kruskal-Wallis test and χ2 test were used to analyse data. For women, mean standardised prevalence estimates were 18.3% (14.1-22.5) for frail, 54.1% (47.3-60.8) pre-frail and 22.9% (18.9-26.8) robust. Corresponding estimates for men were 13.1% (9.8-16.3) frail, 47.8% (42.0-53.6) pre-frail and 27.3% (22.7-31.8) robust. Women who were frail were older, shorter, tended to have a higher body mass index (BMI) and used more medications compared to other groups. Compared to robust women, those who were frail were more likely to have cardio-metabolic (OR 3.5 (0.7-20.0)), pulmonary (OR 3.5 (1.5-8.4)) and musculoskeletal (OR 10.1 (2.1-48.0)) conditions. Frail men were older, had a higher BMI and were more likely to have musculoskeletal conditions (OR 5.8 (2.8-12.3)) and tended to be from a lower SES. No further associations were observed. This study reported the prevalence of frail and pre-frail individuals in a population-based sample of Australian men and women. Frailty was associated with musculoskeletal conditions for both men and women; however, associations with cardio-metabolic and pulmonary comorbidities were evident in women only.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Vitamin D in Pregnancy Study is a long-term ongoing cohort study. It was conceived to explore relationships between maternal vitamin D status in pregnancy and offspring growth and development, and has since diversified to include a wide range of physical and mental health exposures and outcomes. PARTICIPANTS Recruitment was from the University Hospital Geelong (Barwon Health) antenatal clinic, Geelong, Victoria, Australia, between 2002 and 2004. 475 women were initially recruited, which resulted in 400 eligible mother-child pairs at birth. FINDINGS TO DATE The cohort has been followed up twice in pregnancy, at birth, and 1 year, 6 years and 11 years post birth. The study has reported an association between vitamin D in pregnancy and musculoskeletal health and body composition in the children. FUTURE PLANS Subject to funding, there will be a prospective young adult follow-up. This profile aims to foster both cross-national and international collaborations with both existing and future data collection.

Abstract
Australian Aboriginal populations have unacceptably high rates of bronchiectasis. This disease burden is associated with high rates of detection of pathogenic bacteria, particularly non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi). While there is evidence to suggest that exposure to inorganic particulate matter (PM) is associated with worse respiratory infections, no studies have considered the direct effect of this PM on bacterial growth. Nine clinical isolates of pathogenic NTHi were used for this study. Isolates were exposed to two common iron oxides, haematite (Fe2O3) or magnetite (Fe3O4), or quartz (SiO2), as the main constituents of environmental inorganic PM. NTHi isolates were exposed to PM with varying levels of heme to identify whether the response to PM was altered by iron availability. The maximal rate of growth and maximum supported growth were assessed. We observed that inorganic PM was able to modify the maximal growth of selected NTHi isolates. Magnetite and quartz were able to increase maximal growth, while haematite could both increase and suppress the maximal growth. However, these effects varied depending on iron availability and on the bacterial isolate. Our data suggest that inorganic PM may directly alter the growth of pathogenic NTHi. This observation may partly explain the link between exposure to high levels of crustal PM and chronic bacterial infection in Australian Aboriginals.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Osteoporosis and sarcopenia share risk profiles, so we tested a fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) as a screening tool for sarcopenia. FRAX probabilities without bone mineral density predicted sarcopenia with high sensitivity and reasonable specificity. There is potential to use this FRAX as a screening tool for sarcopenia. PURPOSE There is a need for simple screening tools for sarcopenia. As osteoporosis and sarcopenia share risk profiles, we tested the performance of a fracture risk assessment tool for discriminating individuals at risk for sarcopenia. METHODS In this longitudinal study, FRAX (Australia) probabilities were calculated for 354 women (ages 40-90 years) in the Geelong Osteoporosis Study. Sarcopenia was assessed a decade later using DXA-derived low appendicular lean mass (Lunar; ALM/height2 < 5.5 kg/m2) and low handgrip strength (Jamar; HGS < 16 kg), according to EWGSOP2. We determined FRAX probabilities (%) for hip fracture (HF-FRAX) and major osteoporotic fracture (MOF-FRAX), with and without BMD. Area under the receiver operator characteristic (AUROC) curves quantified the performance of FRAX for predicting sarcopenia. RESULTS Baseline median (IQR) values for HF-FRAX without BMD were 0.4 (0.1-1.3) and for MOF-FRAX without BMD, 2.4 (1.2-5.2); comparable figures for HF-FRAX with BMD were 0.2 (0.0-0.7) and for MOF-FRAX with BMD, 2.1 (1.1-4.4). At follow-up, sarcopenia was identified for 11 (3.1%) women. When FRAX was calculated without BMD, the AUROC was 0.90 for HF-FRAX and 0.88 for MOF-FRAX. Optimal thresholds were 0.9 for HF-FRAX (sensitivity 90.9%, specificity 62.4%) and 5.3 for MOF-FRAX (sensitivity 81.8%, specificity 71.7%). Calculating FRAX with BMD did not improve the predictive performance of FRAX for sarcopenia. CONCLUSION Here we provide preliminary evidence to suggest that FRAX probabilities without BMD might predict sarcopenia with high sensitivity and reasonable specificity. Given that FRAX clinical risk factors are identified without equipment, there is potential to use this or a modified version of the FRAX tool to screen for individuals at risk of sarcopenia.
