Abstract
INTRODUCTION Vitamin D deficiency causes osteoporosis, bone mineralization disorders, and osteomalacia. Osteomalacia is diagnosed using blood biochemical tests, clinical symptoms, and imaging; however, accurate detection of mineralization disorders requires tissue observation. We investigated the prevalence of bone mineralization disorders and their relationship with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels in patients with untreated osteoporosis with femoral neck fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS A non-demineralized specimen was prepared from the femoral head removed during surgery in 65 patients. Bone histomorphometry of cancerous bone in the femoral head center was conducted. Osteoid volume per bone volume (OV/BV) and osteoid thickness (O.Th) were measured as indicators of mineralization disorder. RESULTS The mean serum 25OHD level (11.9 ± 5.7 ng/mL) was in the deficiency range (< 12 ng/mL). There were no clinically diagnosed cases of osteomalacia (OV/BV > 10% and O.Th > 12.5 µm); however, one case of mineralization disorder, considered histologically pre-osteomalacia (OV/BV > 5% and O.Th < 12.5 µm), was observed (OB/BV, 17.6%; O.Th, 12.3 µm). Excluding this case, those with severe (25OHD < 12 ng/mL, at risk of osteomalacia; n = 39) and non-severe deficiency (25OHD ≥ 12 ng/mL; n = 25) did not significantly differ in OV/BV (%; 0.77 ± 0.54 vs. 0.69 ± 0.38, p = 0.484) or O.Th (µm; 5.32 ± 1.04 vs. 5.13 ± 0.78, p = 0.410). Further, 25OHD and OV/BV were not significantly correlated (R = - 0.124, p = 0.327). CONCLUSION This is the first study in the twenty-first century to examine serum 25OHD concentrations and bone mineralization disorders in Japanese patients with osteoporosis. The results indicate that vitamin D deficiency does not necessarily cause bone mineralization disorders and rarely leads to osteomalacia.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lifestyle-related disease that develops in middle-aged and older adults, often due to smoking habits, and has been noted to cause bone fragility. COPD is a risk factor for osteoporosis and fragility fracture, and a high prevalence of osteoporosis and incidence of vertebral fractures have been shown in patients with COPD. Findings of lung tissue analysis in patients with COPD are primarily emphysema with a loss of alveolar septal walls, and the severity of pulmonary emphysema is negatively correlated with thoracic spine bone mineral density (BMD). On the other hand, epidemiological studies on COPD and fracture risk have reported a BMD-independent increase in fracture risk; however, verification in animal models and human bone biopsy samples has been slow, and the essential pathogenesis has not been elucidated. The detailed pathological/molecular mechanisms of musculoskeletal complications in patients with COPD are unknown, and basic research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms. This paper discusses the impacts of COPD on bone strength, focusing on findings in animal models in terms of bone microstructure, bone metabolic dynamics, and material properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency is related to fragility fracture. In most previous studies, there was no assessment of vitamin D deficiency status separately for hip fracture types. The first aim is to evaluate vitamin D and parathyroid hormone (PTH) status in patients with hip fracture. The second objective is to determine whether there are differences in vitamin D and PTH between the femoral neck fracture and the femoral metaphyseal fracture group. METHODS 62 men and 248 women with fragility hip fractures were enrolled. 25-hydroxyviamin D [25(OH)D] and intact PTH (iPTH) values were evaluated, and femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) was measured on the uninjured side. Vertebral fractures (VFs) were assessed using radiographs of the thoracic and lumbar spine. We examined the relationships of 25(OH)D value with the number of prevalent VFs, T-score of femoral neck, and iPTH level. These analyses were also performed, neck fracture and trochanteric fracture separately. RESULTS Mean age was 85 years. The mean 25(OH)D was 11.2 (range, 4.0-26.1) ng/ml, whereas the mean iPTH value was 48.9 pg/ml (range, 9-429 pg/ml). The mean number of VFs was 1.5 (range, 0-11), and the mean T-score was -3.3 (range, -5.2 to -0.5). There was a weak correlation between the 25(OH)D value and the number of VFs. There was a weak but significant correlation between 25(OH)D and iPTH values. In the patients with trochanteric fractures, 25(OH)D value was significantly lower and iPTH value was significantly higher than those with neck fractures. There was a significant correlation between the 25(OH)D value and number of the VFs, 25(OH)D, and iPTH values only in trochanteric fractures. CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D deficiency was severe and PTH levels were higher in the trochanteric fractures. Both vitamin D deficiency and high PTH levels were suggested to have association with bone fragility.

Abstract
Aging presents fundamental health concerns worldwide; however, mechanisms underlying how aging is regulated are not fully understood. Here, we show that cartilage regulates aging by controlling phosphate metabolism via ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (Enpp1). We newly established an Enpp1 reporter mouse, in which an EGFP-luciferase sequence was knocked-in at the Enpp1 gene start codon (Enpp1/EGFP-luciferase), enabling detection of Enpp1 expression in cartilage tissues of resultant mice. We then established a cartilage-specific Enpp1 conditional knockout mouse (Enpp1 cKO) by generating Enpp1 flox mice and crossing them with cartilage-specific type 2 collagen Cre mice. Relative to WT controls, Enpp1 cKO mice exhibited phenotypes resembling human aging, such as short life span, ectopic calcifications, and osteoporosis, as well as significantly lower serum pyrophosphate levels. We also observed significant weight loss and worsening of osteoporosis in Enpp1 cKO mice under phosphate overload conditions, similar to global Enpp1-deficient mice. Aging phenotypes seen in Enpp1 cKO mice under phosphate overload conditions were rescued by a low vitamin D diet, even under high phosphate conditions. These findings suggest overall that cartilage tissue plays an important role in regulating systemic aging via Enpp1.

Abstract
Several studies have reported that vitamin D may modify human reproductive functions; however, the results are conflicting. We aimed to comprehensively evaluate serum vitamin D levels and examine the relationship between serum vitamin D levels and ovarian reserve markers, and immune markers of implantation, in reproductive-aged Japanese women with infertility.in reproductive-aged women with infertility. This cross-sectional, single-center study included reproductive-aged women who underwent preconception screening for fertility. Serum vitamin D levels and reproductive and immune markers were measured. Standard and advanced statistical techniques were used. We observed a statistically significant difference in the seasonal and monthly 25(OH) vitamin D levels; the 25(OH) vitamin D level during winter was the lowest among all seasons. However, there was no linear correlation between 25(OH) vitamin D levels and ovarian reserve markers, such as follicle-stimulating hormone and anti-Müllerian hormone, or the Th1/Th2 cell ratio, which is used as an implantation-related immunological marker. In this large-scale study, we evaluated the serum 25(OH) vitamin D concentration in reproductive-aged women with infertility in Japan; however, there was no association between reproductive function and vitamin D levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Excessive alcohol drinking negatively affects bone metabolism and leads to a risk of decreased bone mass, which is a major component of the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. However, the potential influence of alcohol on bones has not been fully recognized, particularly among the young to middle-aged generation. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the status of serum markers related to bone metabolism in young to middle-aged women with alcohol use disorder (AUD). METHODS Levels of vitamin D and the bone-resorption marker tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b were measured in the sera of 25 women with AUD (mean age, 39.5 ± 7.5 years) who were enrolled in an AUD rehabilitation program. Data of samples obtained on admission and those after eight weeks were compared. RESULTS Of the 25 women with AUD, 19 (76%) had vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/mL), and most of the patients showed relatively higher tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b levels at baseline considering their premenopausal age. Although the levels did not change significantly at week eight of the AUD rehabilitation program, vitamin D levels tended to increase initially in patients with vitamin D deficiency. Although further investigations and detailed nutritional assessment are necessary, the results of this study may support the presence of a relatively unknown influence of AUD on the bone health of the young to middle-aged population. Along with psychological and physical care, persons with AUD should be treated as a high-risk group for future osteoporosis regardless of age.

Abstract
PURPOSE Vitamin D plays a crucial role in skeletal metabolism and holds significant importance in the pathophysiology of multiple myeloma (MM). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among Japanese MM patients and its correlation with clinical outcomes. METHODS Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels were assessed in 68 MM patients at a single institution in Japan, analyzing their association with clinical status, laboratory parameters including procollagen type 1 N-propeptide (P1NP) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b), health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) scores, and overall survival. Additionally, patients with suboptimal 25(OH)D levels received cholecalciferol supplementation (1000 IU/day), and changes in laboratory parameters were monitored. RESULTS The median 25(OH)D level was 22 ng/ml, with 32% and 51% of patients exhibiting vitamin D deficiency (< 20 ng/ml) and insufficiency (20-29 ng/ml), respectively. The 25(OH)D levels were unrelated to sex, age, MM stage, or bone lesions, but the vitamin D-deficient group showed a tendency towards lower HR-QOL scores. Among patients achieving complete remission, vitamin D supplementation increased P1NP, while TRACP-5b remained unchanged. Overall survivals from vitamin D measurement and from MM diagnosis were significantly worse in the vitamin D-deficient group compared to the vitamin D-insufficient/-sufficient group. CONCLUSION The study identified a considerable number of Japanese MM patients with insufficient serum vitamin D levels, with one-third being deficient. Additionally, vitamin D deficiency predicted poor overall survival in Japanese MM patients. Further investigation is required to determine whether vitamin D supplementation can improve the frailty and survival of vitamin D-deficient MM patients.

[PMID: 37457393 PMCID: PMC10344931 DOI: 10.1016/j.xnsj.2023.100239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Revised: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
Background Due to its association with bone metabolic status and muscle strength/mass, vitamin D deficiency has the potential to affect neurological symptom recovery after surgery for degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM). However, few studies have investigated the effects of vitamin D deficiency (serum 25(OH)D <20 ng/mL) on surgical outcomes in DCM patients. Herein, we investigated the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in patients with DCM, and determined whether vitamin D deficiency affects surgical outcomes for DCM. Methods In this retrospective observational study we assessed the recovery rate 1 year after surgery in 91 patients diagnosed with DCM who underwent surgery. First, we analyzed the correlation between vitamin D levels and various background factors. Then, patients were divided into 2 groups according to vitamin D sufficiency, and univariate analysis was performed on vitamin D and surgical outcomes. Finally, Spearman correlation analyses were performed to identify factors correlated with recovery rate after surgery for DCM. Results The average Japanese Orthopedic Association score for the assessment of cervical myelopathy (C-JOA score) improved postoperatively. Age was positively correlated with vitamin D levels, and parathyroid hormone levels were negatively correlated with vitamin D levels. Among the 91 patients, 79.1% of patients were diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency. No significant differences in recovery rate were found between the vitamin D-deficient and vitamin D-sufficient groups. Finally, the Spearman correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between the preoperative C-JOA motor dysfunction score in the lower extremities and the recovery rate, while age demonstrated a negative correlation with recovery rate. Conclusions No association was found between vitamin D deficiency and clinical outcomes after surgery for DCM. The results of this study do not support the need to normalize vitamin D levels for achieving neurological improvements in patients with DCM.

Abstract
Although osteoporotic patients have already been recognized as having a low-volume vitamin D status, the concentration of active vitamin D precursor has not been studied in detail. This trial aimed to clarify the concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD), which is a natural type of vitamin D and compare between 2 separate areas in Japan. To compare and clarify the concentration of 25-OHD between 2 separate areas, Japanese patients who were diagnosed as having osteoporosis based on bone mineral density were studied. We analyzed 2 different hospitals' patients whose residence is separated into a northern district (Akita city: north latitude 39" 43') and a southern district (Shizuoka city: north latitude 34" 58'). Both of them have completely different daylight hours. Three-hundred sixty eight patients (174 in Akita, 194 in Shizuoka) were enrolled in this trial to compare the differences of concentration of 25-OHD by Welch's t t-test. There were significant differences in the concentration of 25-OHD and age between them. Akita patients were significantly higher than that of Shizuoka patients despite Shizuoka having much daylight hours of Akita. In conclusion, there might be no relationship between the concentration of 25 OHD and exposure to sunlight.

Abstract
It is everyone's desire to seek the sound growth of children through food education and there is a critical need for fostering an environment for this purpose. Health policies are important for this support. To the present, the Japanese society has been greatly disrupted by COVID-19 pandemic. "Stay at home", "mokusyoku (silent eating)", and mask wearing were encouraged in nationwide campaigns as public health measures to combat COVID-19. There are some papers reporting negative effects of "stay at home" and lockdowns such as weight gain, decrease in physical activities and change in eating habits. In Japan, while benefits and advantages of food education during mealtime were previously well studied, the "mokusyoku" rule may directly run counter to this food education. Moreover, there are several reports showing that nutrients might contribute to prevention of infectious diseases. Japanese children were also encouraged to wear masks all day long. The results of the clinical research, especially randomized control trials, show limited protective effect of masks. On the other hand, negative outcomes of the masks were reported in various scenes. This review focuses on these topics and arousing reconsideration for a better environment for children.

Verification of efficacy and safety of ibandronate or denosumab for postmenopausal osteoporosis after 12-month treatment with romosozumab as sequential therapy: The prospective VICTOR study. Bone 2022; 162:116480. [PMID: 35787482 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2022.116480] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Revised: 06/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Romosozumab is a potent drug for treating postmenopausal osteoporosis but has a limited dosing period of 12 months. Bone mineral density (BMD) decreases soon after romosozumab discontinuation, thus emphasizing the importance of appropriate sequential treatment. The present VICTOR randomized controlled study compared the efficacy of ibandronate and denosumab as sequential therapy options following 12-month romosozumab treatment. Subjects completing 12 months of romosozumab administration for severe postmenopausal osteoporosis were randomly assigned to receive either ibandronate or denosumab for an additional 12 months. The primary outcome of interest was the percentage changes in BMD at the lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck from 12 months (completion of romosozumab) to 18 and 24 months of total treatment (6 and 12 months, respectively, after the conversion to sequential therapy). Secondary outcomes included alterations in serum bone turnover markers and the incidence of adverse events. Sixty-two subjects each in the ibandronate and denosumab groups completed the sequential therapy. The respective percentage changes in BMD at the lumbar spine from 12 months to 24 months were 2.5 % in the ibandronate group and 5.4 % in the denosumab group. At 24 months, we observed significant differences versus 12 months for both groups as well as between the groups (all P < 0.01), showing a superior ability to increase BMD at the lumbar spine for denosumab over ibandronate. BMD gains at the total hip and femoral neck exhibited comparably favorable trends. P1NP and TRACP-5b were significantly decreased from 12 to 24 months (-64.9 % and - 26.8 % in the ibandronate group and - 67.4 % and - 36.3 % in the denosumab group, respectively; all P < 0.001 versus 12 months). Several minor adverse events were recorded in both groups, none of which led to the discontinuation of the trial. The VICTOR study revealed that denosumab could be considered more effective than ibandronate, with few severe adverse events, for the enhancement of BMD as a sequential agent after romosozumab in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients.

Abstract
Background and Aims Recent studies have highlighted the increased risk of low bone mineral density (BMD) in adults with cardiovascular disease. However, little is known about BMD in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD), particularly in developing countries. We hypothesized that factors related to BMD would lead to a high prevalence of low BMD in adults with CHD. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of low BMD and its related factors in Vietnamese adults with CHD. Methods We conducted a cross‐sectional study of 73 adults diagnosed with CHD in Vietnam. Low BMD was classified based on their site‐specific Z‐scores and T‐scores at the posteroanterior lumbar spine and left proximal femur. Logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate factors related to low BMD. Results Low BMD was confirmed in one‐third of the adults with CHD. There were trends of more bone loss in certain parts of the body than in others, with the prevalence of low BMD at the sites of the lumbar vertebrae (L1‒L4) and left proximal femur (femoral neck, trochanteric femur, and intertrochanteric area) of 43.9%, 31.8%, 28.8%, 33.3%, 8.8%, 1.5%, and 6.1%, respectively. The prevalence of low BMD in the lumbar spine was significantly higher than that in the left proximal femur (34.3% vs. 2.9%, p < 0.001). Moreover, the prevalence of low BMD was significantly higher in adults with CHD than in those without polycythemia and vitamin D deficiency (55.6% vs. 20.9%, p = 0.001 and 46.2% vs. 19.4%, p = 0.002, respectively). A stratified multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that low BMD was associated with polycythemia (odds ratio: 4.72; 95% confidence interval: 1.64–13.58, p = 0.004). Conclusions Low BMD is common among adults with CHD in Vietnam and related to polycythemia.

Abstract
Eldecalcitol (ELD) is a new oral analog of the active form of vitamin D with anti-resorptive properties. We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the efficacy and safety of ELD in osteoporosis. Compared with alfacalcidol, ELD significantly lowered vertebral facture risk, increased bone mineral density, but also had a higher risk of hypercalciuria. PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of eldecalcitol (ELD) in osteoporosis by examining fracture rates, bone mineral density (BMD), bone turnover markers, and adverse events as outcomes. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched up to July 20, 2020, to identify eligible randomized controlled trials. The odds ratio (OR) or weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence interval was calculated by the random-effects model. RESULTS ELD significantly increased lumbar BMD (WMD: 2.80; 95% CI: 1.60, 4.00; P < 0.001, 2 studies involved), total hip BMD (WMD: 2.11; 95% CI: 0.68, 3.55; P = 0.004, 2 studies involved), and femoral neck BMD (WMD: 1.78; 95% CI: 0.76, 2.79; P = 0.001, 1 study involved) compared with alfacalcidol. Moreover, ELD caused a significantly lower rate of vertebral fracture (OR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.29-0.95; P = 0.034, 2 studies involved) than alfacalcidol, but did not lower the rate of non-vertebral facture (OR: 0.44; 95% CI: 0.06-3.05; P = 0.405, 2 studies involved) compared with alfacalcidol. ELD significantly reduced the percentage change in bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (WMD: - 15.40; 95% CI: - 20.30, - 10.60; P < 0.001, 1 study involved) and serum type I collagen C-telopeptide (WMD: - 38.50; 95% CI: - 50.00, - 27.10; P < 0.001, 1 study involved) as compared with alfacalcidol. ELD was also associated with higher risk of hypercalciuria compared with alfacalcidol (OR: 1.64; 95% CI: 1.22, 2.20; P = 0.001, 2 studies involved). CONCLUSIONS This systematic review indicated that ELD was superior than alfacalcidol for improving vertebral fracture risk and BMD. Further large-scale trials should be conducted to verify the long-term effects and safety of ELD in osteoporosis. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42020147518.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The primary purpose of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the characteristics of age-related changes in bone microstructure on high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT), areal bone mineral density (aBMD) on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and bone-related biochemical markers in men. The secondary purpose of this study was to examine how bone microstructure is related to aBMD and biochemical markers. METHODS The subjects were 128 healthy Japanese men (20-97 years old). Bone microstructure was measured in the distal radius and tibia using second-generation HR-pQCT; aBMD in the proximal femur and lumbar spine was measured with DXA; and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b (TRACP-5b), type I procollagen-N-propeptide (P1NP), 25(OH) vitamin D, and pentosidine concentrations were measured by blood tests. RESULTS In trabecular bone, the trabecular volumetric BMD (Tb.vBMD) and trabecular number (Tb.N) were lower with age (r = -0.23, -0.35) (r = -0.36,-0.33), and trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) and the star volume of marrow space (V*ms) were higher with age (r = 0.29, 0.41) (r = 0.34, 0.38) in both the radius and tibia. In cortical bone, cortical volumetric BMD (Ct.vBMD) was lower with age (r = -0.25, -0.52), and cortical porosity (Ct.Po) was higher with age (r = 0.67, 0.62) in both the radius and tibia. In the tibia, cortical thickness (Ct.Th) and cortical area (Ct.Ar) were lower with age (r = -0.40) (r = -0.43), whereas, in the radius, they were maintained, and periosteal perimeter (Ct.Pm) was higher with age (r = 0.35). aBMD in the proximal femur and P1NP were lower, and pentosidine was higher with increased age, whereas aBMD in the lumbar spine, TRACP-5b, and 25(OH) vitamin D had no relationships with age. DXA and HR-pQCT showed strong correlations particularly with femoral aBMD and tibial Tb.vBMD and Ct.Ar (r = 0.61) (r = 0.61), whereas no DXA parameters were related with Ct.Po. In correlations between biochemical markers and HR-pQCT, TRACP-5b and total P1NP were negatively correlated with Ct.vBMD (r = -0.31) (r = -0.35), but almost no other correlations were seen. CONCLUSIONS Age-related changes of the bone microstructure in men were characterized by decreases in trabecular and cortical vBMD associated with decreased trabecular number, cavitation of the trabecular structure, and increased cortical porosity. Femoral aBMD was strongly related to bone microstructure in the tibia, whereas both lumbar aBMD and femoral aBMD were not related to Ct.Po, and biochemical markers showed almost no relationships with bone microstructure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Vitamin D is produced in the skin during sun exposure and is also ingested from foods. The role of vitamin D needs to be considered in the prevention and management of various diseases. Moreover, since the majority of Koreans spend their days indoors, becoming susceptible to the risk of vitamin D deficiency. The current study aims to prepare a basis for determining dietary reference intake of vitamin D in Korea, by reviewing the evidence against various diseases and risks. MATERIALS/METHODS Literature published in Korea and other countries between 2014 and 2018 was prioritized based on their study design and other criteria, and evaluated using the RoB 2.0 assessment form and United States Department of Agriculture Nutrition Evidence Library Conclusion Statement Evaluation Criteria. RESULTS Of the 1,709 studies, 128 studies were included in the final systematic analysis after screening. To set the dietary reference intakes of vitamin D based on the selected articles, blood 25(OH)D levels and indicators of bone health were used collectively. Blood vitamin D levels and ultraviolet (UV) exposure time derived from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed to establish the dietary reference intakes of vitamin D for each stage of the life cycle. The adequate intake levels of vitamin D, according to age and gender, were determined to be in the range of 5–15 μg/day, and the tolerable upper intake level was established at 25–100 μg/day. CONCLUSIONS The most important variable for vitamin D nutrition is lifestyle. A balanced diet comprising foods with high contents of vitamin D is important, as is vitamin D synthesis after UV exposure. The adequate intake level of vitamin D mentioned in the 2015 Dietary Reference Intakes for Korean (KDRI) remained unchanged in the 2020 KDRI for the management of vitamin D nutrition in Koreans.

J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2021; 106:e5180-e5194. [PMID: 34251437 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgab506] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2020] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT High fracture risk in individuals with low muscle strength is attributed to high risk of falls. OBJECTIVE This work aims to study the association of muscle mass and physical performance with bone microarchitecture decline and risk of fall and nonvertebral fracture in men. METHODS A prospective, 8-year follow-up of a cohort was conducted among the general population. A total of 821 volunteer men aged 60 and older participated. Hip areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and appendicular lean mass (ALM) were assessed at baseline by dual x-ray absorptiometry. Lower-limb relative ALM (RALM-LL) is ALM-LL/(leg length)2. The physical performance score reflects the ability to perform chair stands and static and dynamic balance. Bone microarchitecture was assessed by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) at baseline and after 4 and 8 years. Statistical analyses were adjusted for shared risk factors. Outcome measurements included the rate of change in the HR-pQCT indices, incident falls, and fractures. RESULTS Cortical bone loss and estimated bone strength decline were faster in men with low vs normal RALM-LL (failure load: -0.74 ± 0.09 vs -0.43 ± 0.10%/year; P < .005). Differences were similar between men with poor and those with normal physical performance (failure load: -1.12 ± 0.09 vs -0.40 ± 0.05%/year; P < .001). Differences were similar between men having poor performance and low RALM-LL and men having normal RALM-LL and performance (failure load: -1.40 ± 0.17 vs -0.47 ± 0.03%/year; P < .001). Men with poor physical performance had a higher risk of fall (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.52; 95% CI, 1.57-7.90, P < .05) and fracture (HR = 2.68; 95% CI, 1.08-6.66, P < .05). CONCLUSION Rapid decline of bone microarchitecture and estimated strength in men with poor physical performance and low RALM-LL may contribute to higher fracture risk.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We showed an association between serum concentrations of vitamin D and bone health among community-dwelling adults in Japan after adjustment for confounding factors, with 730 participants in a city, with concentrations of 25(OH) vitamin D, and with parameters of quantitative ultrasound. PURPOSE The primary objective of this study was to examine the correlation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration and bone indicators as measured by quantitative ultrasound in middle-aged and older Japanese adults living in low-latitude seaside areas during summer and autumn. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study, the Unzen study, on community-dwelling Japanese adults who participated to periodic health examinations between 2011 and 2013 (during the months of May to November). RESULTS A total of 301 men (mean (SD) age, 67.9 (8.2) years; range, 50-92 years) and 429 women (mean (SD) age, 67.9 (7.7); range, 50-89 years) participated in this study. Serum 25(OH)D levels and quantitative ultrasound parameters (broadband ultrasound (BUA), speed of sound (SOS), and stiffness index of the calcaneus were measured for the participants. We excluded two men and 28 women from the 730 participants because they were on medication for osteoporosis. So, 299 men and 401 women were included in the final data analysis. The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency (< 30 ng/ml) was very high: 71.9% in men and 95.5% in women. In women, the log(25(OH)D) positively and significantly correlated with SOS (p = 0.011) and stiffness index (p = 0.028) but not with BUA (p = 0.176). In men, the log(25(OH)D) did not correlate with the BUA, SOS, or stiffness index (p = 0.218, 0.420, and 0.262, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Serum 25(OH)D levels were associated with SOS or stiffness index in women but not in men.

Impact of serum vitamin D on the response and prognosis in breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Breast Cancer 2021; 29:156-163. [PMID: 34487328 PMCID: PMC8732931 DOI: 10.1007/s12282-021-01292-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2021] [Accepted: 08/31/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
Background Several studies have recently reported that the relationships between serum vitamin D and the prognosis or the pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer. However, there are no data regarding the clinical impacts of the vitamin D in Japanese breast cancer patients so far. Patients and methods In the present study, a total of 250 patients with clinical Stage I–III primary breast cancer who were treated with NAC and subsequently underwent definitive surgery were included. Serum 25-hydroxvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels were evaluated using blood samples obtained before NAC. Results The serum 25(OH)D was positively associated with age, and the serum 25(OH)D was significantly higher in postmenopausal women than that in pre/peri-menopausal women. Serum 25(OH)D level was not associated with the achievement of pathological complete response (pCR) in this cohort. The low 25(OH)D levels were significantly associated with shorter time to distant recurrence (TTDR). According to the univariate analysis, high clinical stage before NAC (cStage III) and low serum 25(OH)D level were significantly associated with the shorter TTDR, and pCR was significantly associated with the longer TTDR. According to a multivariate analysis, low serum 25(OH)D level were independent poor prognostic factors for TTDR. Conclusions The low 25(OH)D levels were significantly associated with poorer prognosis in Japanese women with operable breast cancer patients treated with NAC.

Abstract
Objectives Vitamin D deficiency, which is common worldwide, increases the risks of falls and fractures and can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. However, the clinical utility and relevance of vitamin D activation remain unknown. The aim of the present study was to clarify the clinical usefulness of serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D)/25-hydroxyvitamin D (25D) ratio for assessment of the extent of bone metabolism. Methods We retrospectively screened data for 87 patients whose serum 1,25D and 25D levels were measured. Eight patients who were taking vitamin D preparations were excluded, and data for 79 patients (33 males and 46 females) were analyzed. Since menopausal status can be associated with serum vitamin D level, we divided the patients by gender and divided the female patients into two groups at the age of 50 years. Results The median serum 1,25D/25D ratio was significantly lower in males than in females, with the most considerable difference in all males [4.1 (interquartile range: 2.3-5.8) × 10-3] versus elderly females (aged ≧50 years) [7.9 (3.3-10.1) × 10-3). Main disorders were endocrine (30.6%), inflammatory (18.5%), and bone-related (16.7%) disorders. The ratios of serum 1,25D/25D had significant negative correlations with femoral dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry % young adult mean (DEXA %YAM) (R=-0.35) and lumbar DEXA %YAM (R=-0.32). Significant correlations were found between the 1,25D/25D ratio and serum levels of inorganic phosphate (iP), parathyroid hormone, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The 1,25D/25D ratio had gender-specific characteristics: the ratio was significantly correlated with age in males (R=-0.49), while it was significantly correlated with BMI in females (R=0.34). Conclusions The results of this study suggested that vitamin D activity is negatively correlated with bone mineral density, being reduced in aged males but enhanced in obese females.

Vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for new fractures in Japanese postmenopausal women with rheumatoid arthritis: results from the IORRA cohort study. Arch Osteoporos 2021; 16:119. [PMID: 34342724 DOI: 10.1007/s11657-021-00982-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2021] [Accepted: 07/12/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED In this study, we assess the association between the occurrence of new fractures and vitamin D deficiency in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis using our large IORRA cohort. The results suggest that vitamin D deficiency is a significant risk factor for new fractures in Japanese female patients over the age of 50 years with rheumatoid arthritis. PURPOSE Both rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and menopause are known risk factors for the onset of osteoporosis. The occurrence of new clinical fractures in patients with RA can significantly lower quality of life. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether vitamin D deficiency in Japanese women with RA could be a risk factor for new fractures. METHODS Between 2011 and 2017, a total of 2567 female patients with RA over the age of 50 years (mean age, 65.9 years) were enrolled in a prospective observational study. Self-reported occurrences of new fractures were verified using patient medical records. Vitamin D deficiency was defined as serum 25(OH)D levels < 20 ng/mL. Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the independent contributions of various risk factors to the occurrence of a new fracture. RESULTS New clinical fractures were sustained by 205 patients in the included cases. Among them, new osteoporotic fractures were sustained by 139 patients (63 vertebral fractures and 76 non-vertebral fractures). Among all patients, the mean (SD) serum 25(OH)D level was 16.9 (5.89) ng/mL and the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 72.6%. A Cox proportional hazards model revealed that vitamin D deficiency was significantly associated with all new clinical fractures (hazard ratio, 1.44 [95% confidence interval 1.02‒2.05]; p = 0.0365) and all new osteoporotic fractures (hazard ratio, 1.75 [95% confidence interval 1.14‒2.69]; p = 0.0109). CONCLUSION Vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for new fractures in Japanese female patients over the age of 50 years with RA. Screening these patients for serum 25(OH)D could potentially be seminal to reducing their risk of fractures.

Abstract
Denosumab and romosozumab, a recently approved new drug, are effective and widely known molecular-targeted drugs for postmenopausal osteoporosis treatment. However, no studies have directly compared their therapeutic effects or safety in postmenopausal osteoporosis. This retrospective observational registry study compared the efficacy of 12-month denosumab or romosozumab treatment in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients. The primary outcome was the change in bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine. Secondary outcomes included BMD changes at the total hip and femoral neck, changes in bone turnover markers, and adverse events. Propensity score matching was employed to assemble patient groups with similar baseline characteristics. Sixty-nine patients each received either denosumab or romosozumab for 12 months. The mean 12-month percentage change from baseline in lumbar spine BMD was 7.2% in the denosumab group and 12.5% in the romosozumab group, indicating a significant difference between the groups. The percentage changes in BMD at both the total hip and femoral neck were also significantly higher at 12 months in the romosozumab group than in the denosumab group. In denosumab patients, bone formation and bone resorption markers were significantly decreased at 6 and 12 months from baseline. In the romosozumab group, the bone formation marker was significantly increased at 6 months and then returned to baseline, while the bone resorption marker was significantly decreased at both time points. Adverse events were few and predominantly minor in both groups, with no remarkable difference in the incidence of new vertebral fractures. Romosozumab showed a higher potential for improving BMD than denosumab in this clinical study of postmenopausal osteoporosis patient treatment.

Abstract
Real-world data on the new anti-sclerostin antibody drug, romosozumab, remain scarce. There is a strong need to accumulate and analyze data on romosozumab treatment for such conditions as osteoporosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic and adverse effects of romosozumab for osteoporosis treatment in clinical practice. Of the 230 osteoporosis patients prescribed romosozumab from September 2019 in this prospective multicenter cohort study, 204 patients completed 12 months of treatment. The primary outcome of interest was the rate of change in bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Secondary outcomes included changes in bone turnover markers and serum-corrected calcium level as well as the incidence of adverse events. At 6 and 12 months of romosozumab treatment, the respective percentage change in BMD from baseline was 7.4% and 12.2% for the lumbar spine, 1.8% and 5.8% for the total hip, and 2.9% and 6.0% for the femoral neck, all of which were significantly higher (P < 0.001) than baseline values. Patients who switched from another osteoporosis regimen exhibited significantly lower lumbar spine BMD gains versus treatment-naïve patients, especially for cases switching from denosumab. P1NP was significantly increased at 6 months (58.9%; P < 0.01), while TRACP-5b was significantly decreased at 6 months (-14.7%; P < 0.001) and 12 months (-18.8%; P < 0.001) versus baseline values. The largest rate of decrease in serum-corrected calcium was 3.7% at 12 months. Sixty-four (27.8%) of 230 patients experienced an adverse event, and 7 (3.0%) new fractures were recorded. In sum, romosozumab treatment for 12 months significantly improved lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck BMD according to real-world data.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2021; 22:392. [PMID: 33902533 PMCID: PMC8077690 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-021-04279-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2020] [Accepted: 04/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Muscle and bone interactions might be associated with osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Urinary pentosidine and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) might affect muscle and bone interactions. It is unclear whether these biomarkers are affected by age and sex or play a role in muscle and physical functions. We aimed to investigate the association between urinary pentosidine and serum 25(OH)D levels with muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance in community-dwelling adults. Methods Two-hundred and fifty-four middle-aged and elderly adults were enrolled. There was no significant difference in age between 97 men (75.0 ± 8.9 years) and 157 women (73.6 ± 8.1 years). The skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), grip strength, and gait speed were assessed. The urinary pentosidine level was measured. We evaluated the association of urinary pentosidine and serum 25(OH)D levels with age and sex (student’s t-test) and correlations between biomarker and each variable (Pearson’s correlation coefficients). Multiple regression analysis was performed with grip strength and gait speed as dependent variables and with age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), speed of sound (SOS), SMI, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), 25(OH)D, and pentosidine as independent variables using the stepwise method. Results The urinary pentosidine level was negatively correlated with grip strength, gait speed, eGFR, and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in men and with SOS, grip strength, and gait speed in women. The serum 25(OH)D level was positively correlated with IGF-1 in women and grip strength in men. Grip strength was associated with age, height, and pentosidine in men and height and pentosidine in women. Gait speed was associated with age, BMI, and pentosidine in men and age, height, and pentosidine in women. Conclusion Urinary pentosidine levels are significantly associated with grip strength and gait speed and may serve as a biomarker of muscle and bone interactions.

Vitamins K and D deficiency in severe motor and intellectually disabled patients. Brain Dev 2021; 43:200-207. [PMID: 33139126 DOI: 10.1016/j.braindev.2020.09.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2020] [Revised: 09/18/2020] [Accepted: 09/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC) levels in severe motor and intellectual disabilities (SMID) patients and their association with bone turnover biomarkers. METHODS We assessed vitamin D and K levels as indicators of osteoporosis in institutionalized adults with SMID. From December 2019 to February 2020, 93 institutionalized patients (48 men, 45 women; median age, 49 years) underwent annual routine examinations. Serum ucOC, 25(OH)D, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase A 5b (TRACP-5b) levels as bone formation and resorption markers and calcium and phosphorous levels were measured. Vitamin K deficiency was indirectly assessed based on ucOC levels. RESULTS Mean ucOC levels were higher than normal (i.e., vitamin K deficiency). Serum 25(OH)D levels were markedly diminished. Overall, 86% of patients had deficient 25(OH)D levels. These 25(OH)D-deficient patients had higher ucOC levels. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed an inverse correlation between 25(OH)D and ucOC levels. ucOC levels were significantly higher and 25(OH)D levels were significantly lower in tube feeding. TRACP-5b levels were significantly higher in elderly than in young women. BAP and TRACP-5b levels were normal in adults. No relationship existed between vitamin D and antiepileptic drug use. CONCLUSIONS Vitamin K and D co-deficiency was common in SMID patients. Vitamin K and D deficiencies were worse in tube-fed patients than in oral intake patients. SMID patients should undergo regular monitoring of vitamin D and K levels and supplementation of these vitamins.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In anti-osteoporosis drug trials, vitamin D and calcium (Ca) are common supplements; however, the optimal dose of each is unclear. Using data from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled DIRECT trial, we assessed whether baseline serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25[OH]D) level influences the efficacy of denosumab co-administered with vitamin D and Ca. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prespecified sub-analysis, subjects with primary osteoporosis who received denosumab or placebo, plus vitamin D (≥ 400 IU/day) and Ca (≥ 600 mg/day), were classified as 25(OH)D deficient (< 20 ng/mL), insufficient (≥ 20 to < 30 ng/mL), and sufficient (≥ 30 ng/mL). Study endpoints included absolute serum 25(OH)D level at baseline, 12 months, and 24 months; change in serum 25(OH)D and bone mineral density (BMD) status from baseline; and incidence of new vertebral fractures at 24 months. RESULTS In 475 denosumab-treated and 481 placebo-treated subjects, proportions with deficient/insufficient/sufficient 25(OH)D at baseline were 53.1%/37.1%/9.9% and 50.9%/42.0%/7.1%, respectively. Supplementation significantly increased mean serum 25(OH)D levels; at 24 months, mean levels were > 30 ng/mL (sufficient) in both treatment groups. Increase in BMD over time was higher in the denosumab group vs. placebo group in all three vitamin D status groups. At month 24, denosumab-treated subjects with deficient/insufficient baseline 25(OH)D had a significantly lower risk of new vertebral fracture vs. placebo-treated subjects. CONCLUSION Among DIRECT trial subjects supplemented with ≥ 400 IU/day of vitamin D and ≥ 600 mg/day of Ca, baseline 25(OH)D sufficiency may not influence the efficacy of denosumab in increasing BMD or preventing vertebral fractures.

Abstract
Vitamin deficiency causes classical deficiency diseases such as beriberi and rickets. Vitamin insufficiency, which is milder than deficiency, is a risk for various chronic diseases, but its significance has not been recognized in Japan. Vitamin D insufficiency is quite common in Japan, and a serious risk for osteoporotic fracture through its unbeneficial effect on bone and muscle. Insufficiency of B vitamins has been little studied. However, hyperhomocysteinemia caused by the insufficiency of vitamin B12 or folate is a risk for cardiovascular disease, osteoporotic fracture, and cognitive impairment. Additionally, we have recently reported that vitamin B1 insufficiency is a risk for heart failure in the elderly. The effect of improvement of nutritional status including vitamins is less marked compared to drug treatment, but it costs far less, and is suited for the primary prevention of diseases. Randomized controlled trial is considered the study with the most robust evidence in the evaluation of drug treatment, but more emphasis should be put on the well-designed cohort studies in evaluating the role of nutrients. Vitamin insufficiency is quite prevalent, and vitamin requirement is much higher for its prevention than for the prevention of deficiency.

Eldecalcitol is superior to alfacalcidol in maintaining bone mineral density in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis patients (e-GLORIA). J Bone Miner Metab 2020; 38:522-532.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Eldecalcitol increases bone mineral density (BMD) and reduces vertebral fracture in patients with primary osteoporosis. However, the effect of eldecalcitol on BMD and fracture in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO) patients is unknown. This study was undertaken to compare the effect of eldecalcitol on BMD and fracture with that of alfacalcidol in GIO patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A randomized, open-label, parallel group study was conducted to identify the effectiveness and safety of monotherapy with 0.75 μg eldecalcitol compared with 1.0 μg alfacalcidol in GIO patients. RESULTS Lumbar spine BMD increased with eldecalcitol, but decreased with alfacalcidol at 12 and 24 months (between group difference 1.29%, p < 0.01, and 1.10%, p < 0.05, respectively). Total hip and femoral neck BMD were maintained until 24 months by eldecalcitol, but decreased by alfacalcidol (between group difference 0.97%, p < 0.05 and 1.22%, p < 0.05, respectively). Both bone formation and resorption markers were more strongly suppressed by eldecalcitol than by alfacalcidol. Eldecalcitol showed better effect on BMD than alfacalcidol in patients with no prevalent fracture and BMD > 70% of the young adult mean, and with ≤ 3 months of previous glucocorticoid treatment. No significant difference in the incidence of vertebral fracture was found, and the incidence of adverse events was similar between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Eldecalcitol was more effective than alfacalcidol in maintaining BMD in GIO patients. Because eldecalcitol was effective in patients with no or short-term previous glucocorticoid treatment, as well as those without prevalent fracture or low BMD, eldecalcitol can be a good candidate for primary prevention of GIO.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem in all age groups, especially in the elderly population. Serum 25(OH)D is the biomarker to assess vitamin D nutrition status. However, the free hormone hypothesis proposes that free vitamin D might be a more reliable marker of vitamin D nutrition status. Thus, the aims of this study were to (1) evaluate the distribution of free 25OHD in elderly individuals, and (2) to assess the association between free 25OHD and total 25(OH)D, 1,25(OH)2D, 24,25(OH)2D, calcium (Ca), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and phosphorus (P) in elderly population. A total of 312 healthy elderly individuals were enrolled in this study and residual serum samples were collected. Free 25OHD, total 25(OH)D, 24,25(OH)2D, and 1,25(OH)2D were measured using LC-MS/MS. Other biochemical analytes were measured using automatic analyzers. Our results showed that with an increase in the levels of total 25(OH)D, the levels of 25(OH)D3, 1,25(OH)2D, 24,25(OH)D, and free 25OHD increased, whereas the levels of 25(OH)D/24,25(OH)2D decreased. Further, we observed that the level of free 25OHD was significantly positively correlated with the total 25(OH)D (r = 0.226, P < 0.001), 25(OH)D (r = 0.221, P < 0.001), and 24,25(OH)2D (r = 0.231, P < 0.001) but was negatively correlated with 25(OH)D/24,25(OH)2D (r = -0.185, P < 0.01). Moreover, the total 25(OH)D, 25(OH)D3, 24,25(OH)2D, and 25(OH)D/24,25(OH)2D were correlated with 1,25(OH)2D. Furthermore, free 25OHD was positively correlated with creatinine (Cr) (r = 0.227, P <0.001). Our results showed a narrower distribution for free 25OHD than that reported by direct measurement techniques and confirmed the correlation between free 25OHD and total 25(OH)D.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Whether low plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations cause osteoporotic fractures is unclear. We tested the hypothesis that low plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations are associated with increased risk of osteoporotic fractures using a Mendelian randomization analysis.
Methods
We genotyped 116 335 randomly chosen white Danish persons aged 20–100 years in 2 population-based cohort studies for plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D decreasing genotypes in CYP2R1 (rs117913124 and rs12794714), DHCR7 (rs7944926 and rs11234027), GEMIN2 (rs2277458), and HAL (rs3819817); 35 833 had information on plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D. We assessed risk of total, osteoporotic, and anatomically localized fractures from 1981 through 2017. Information on fractures and vital status was obtained from nationwide registries.
Results
During up to 36 years of follow-up, we observed 17 820 total fractures, 10 861 osteoporotic fractures, and 3472 fractures of hip or femur. Compared with individuals with 25-hydroxyvitamin D ≥ 50nmol/L, multivariable adjusted hazard ratios (95% CIs) for total fractures were 1.03 (0.97–1.09) for individuals with 25–49.9 nmol/L, 1.19 (1.10–1.28) for individuals with 12.5–24.9 nmol/L, and 1.39 (1.21–1.60) for individuals with 25-hydroxyvitamin D < 12.5 nmol/L. Corresponding hazard ratios were 1.07 (1.00–1.15), 1.25 (1.13–1.37), and 1.49 (1.25–1.77) for osteoporotic fractures and 1.09 (0.98–1.22), 1.37 (1.18–1.57), and 1.41 (1.09–1.81) for fractures of hip or femur, respectively. Hazard ratios per 1 increase in vitamin D allele score, corresponding to 3.0% (approximately 1.6 nmol/L) lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations, were 0.99 (0.98–1.00) for total fractures, 0.99 (0.97–1.00) for osteoporotic fractures, and 0.98 (0.95–1.00) for fractures of hip or femur.
Conclusions
Low plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations were associated with osteoporotic fractures; however, Mendelian randomization analysis provided no evidence supporting a causal role for vitamin D in the risk for osteoporotic fractures.

Abstract
Objectives To assess the vitamin D status in postmenopausal women with osteoporotic fractures, determine its concentration by fracture site at the clinical setting, and compare the proportion of vitamin D deficiency with that reported in literature. Methods The prospective study included 317 postmenopausal women with osteoporotic fractures who were treated consecutively from 2016 to 2018. After obtaining informed consent for participation in the seamless treatment of osteoporosis against fractures study, which is our initiative to prevent secondary osteoporotic fractures, we registered the patients, examined bone mineral density (BMD) at the unfractured femoral neck and lumbar spine, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration, blood chemistry, and bone turnover markers. Results The mean age of the patients was 80.7 years. Moreover, 78% of patients of all fractures had 25(OH)D concentration < 20 ng/mL, whereas 12% of patients had 25(OH)D concentration ≥ 30 ng/mL 25(OH)D concentration in hip fractures was significantly lower than that in vertebral or distal radius fractures (P < 0.05). Multiple regression analysis revealed that 25(OH)D concentration is significantly associated with femoral neck BMD (β = 0.16; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.78–12.17, P = 0.03) and serum albumin concentration (β = 0.21; 95% CI, 0.62–2.96, P < 0.001) in patients with 25(OH)D concentration < 30 ng/mL. Conclusions The results of this study show that the proportion of postmenopausal women with osteoporotic fractures who had vitamin D deficiency was higher than the proportion in previous reports that examined general postmenopausal women (35.2%–52.0%).

Abstract
Serum levels of 25(OH)D, which is known to correlate with systemic nutritional status, is used as an indicator of vitamin D sufficiency in the body. We studied the 25(OH)D status and its background factors including activity of daily living (ADL) in the elderlies hospitalized at the regional core hospital. We also examined whether or not vitamin D deficiency affects ADL among them. This study included newly hospitalized patients aged 65 years or over at Ohchi hospital April to August in 2015. At the time of admission, serum 25(OH)D concentration was measured, and ADL, instrumental ADL (IADL), cognitive function, blood test, nursing care certification were investigated as background factors. Among 209 patients, 25(OH)D was sufficient (> 30 ng/mL) only 14 cases (7%), insufficient (20-30 ng/mL) in 43 cases (20%), and deficient (< 20 ng/mL) in 152 cases (73%). Multivariate analysis showed that low ADL (OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.97-0.99) and low IADL (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.78-0.99) were independent predictors of 25(OH)D deficiency in two models incorporating ADL and IADL, respectively. Furthermore, low 25(OH)D level was significantly associated with low ADL (OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.91-0.99) and low IADL (OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.88-0.97) scores, suggesting that vitamin D deficiency may affect physical activities. Most hospitalized elderly patients in Japan were deficient for vitamin D. In addition, physical inactivity is strongly associated with vitamin D deficiency.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the serum levels of vitamin D, vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) calcium and phosphate in normal, osteopenic and osteoporotic postmenopausal women categorized on the basis of bone mineral density (BMD) scores. Methods: A cross sectional study carried out from May 2017 to August 2018. BMD measured by Dual energy X-ray Absorptiometry categorized women (aged 20- 70 years) into normal (n=37) (T score ≥ -1.0) osteopenic (n=25) (-2.5< T score, < -1) and osteoporotic (n= 26) (T score < -2.5) according to WHO classification. Serum concentrations of vitamin D, VDBP, calcium, phosphate analyzed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay were compared by Analysis of Variance Results: In normal females higher levels of vitamin D and VDBP were observed [15.82 (8 - 69.18), 469.9 (269.57 - 875.55)] vs. osteopenic [(7.45 (4.66 - 15.1), 296.05 (232.58 - 420.23)] and osteoporotic women [(7.25 (3.97 - 17.49), 272.94 (202.23 - 351.24)]; [median interquartile range]; p value < 0.0001. Conclusion: Vitamin D and VDBP are linked with bone health and estimation of VDBP appears to be a valuable tool for the assessment of increased bone loss and possible risks of bone fractures especially in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus have an increased fracture risk. However, population-based studies on the association between glycemic status and fracture risk are scarce, and none have targeted a Japanese population. In addition, patients in the lowest category of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) do not always show the lowest risk. This study aimed to clarify the association between glycemic status and fracture risk in community-dwelling elderly Japanese men. METHODS A total of 1992 men aged ≥65 years completed baseline measurements including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), HbA1c, bone density, and an interview regarding past disease history. Osteoporotic fractures (OPFs) that occurred during the 5-year follow-up period were determined through interviews. An OPF at the spine, hip, proximal humerus, or distal radius was defined as a major OPF (MOF). RESULTS After excluding participants who had a history of type 1 diabetes mellitus and thiazolidinedione therapy, 1951 men were analyzed. Men with hyperglycemia in the diabetic range had a significantly higher risk of OPF compared with those with normoglycemia, after adjusting for confounding factors including insulin therapy (hazard ratio (HR): 2.76, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.17, 6.50 in FPG ≥ 126 mg/dl; HR: 2.49, 95% CI: 1.07, 5.77 in HbA1c ≥ 6.5%). An elevated risk of MOF was observed in participants in the prediabetic HbA1c category (HR: 2.15, 95% CI: 1.00, 4.62 in 5.7% ≤ HbA1c < 6.5%) in addition to those in the diabetic category. The intermediate glycemic status group showed intermediate risk, suggesting that the association was linear. CONCLUSIONS Hyperglycemia was associated linearly with elevated fracture risk in community-dwelling elderly men. MOF risk may be elevated in Japanese elderly men with prediabetic glycemic status.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The associations of multiple vitamin deficiencies on incident fractures were uncertain, the relationships between serum vitamin markers and incident bone fractures were investigated in Japanese postmenopausal women. The number of deficiencies was additively associated with incident fracture after adjustment for possible confounding factors including the treatment of osteoporosis. INTRODUCTION To evaluate the associations of multiple vitamin deficiencies on incident fractures, the relationships between serum vitamin markers and incident bone fractures were investigated in Japanese postmenopausal women. METHODS This analysis used a subset of the ongoing cohort maintained by a primary care institution. Inclusion criteria of the present study were postmenopausal women aged ≥ 50 years, without vitamin supplementation and secondary osteoporosis. Baseline serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC), and homocysteine (Hcy) were measured to assess vitamin D, vitamin K, and vitamin B, respectively. Since 25(OH) D positively relates to vitamin D, ucOC and Hcy negatively relate to vitamin K and vitamin B nutrients, respectively, the subjects with lower (25(OH)D) or higher (ucOC or Hcy) values than each median value was defined as subjects with the corresponding vitamin deficiency. Subjects were divided into four groups according to the number of deficiency: no deficiency, single deficiency, double deficiencies, and triple deficiencies. Relationships between the vitamin deficiencies and incident fractures were evaluated by Cox regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 889 subjects were included in this analysis; their mean and SD age was 68.3 ± 9.5 years, and the follow-up period was 6.3 ± 5.1 years. The numbers of subjects in the four groups were 139 (15.6%), 304 (34.2%), 316 (35.5%), and 130 (14.6%) for the groups with no, single, double, and triple deficiencies, respectively. Incident fractures were observed in 264 subjects (29.7%) during the observation period. The number of deficiencies was significantly associated with incident fracture (hazard ratio 1.25, 95% confidence interval 1.04-1.50, P = 0.018) after adjustment for possible confounding factors including the treatment of osteoporosis. CONCLUSION Accumulation of vitamin deficiencies was related to incident fractures.

Abstract
A ketogenic diet (KD) is composed of low-carbohydrate, high-fat and adequate levels of protein. It has been used for decades as a method to treat pediatric refractory epilepsy. However, recently, its side effects on the bones have received increasing attention. In order to comprehensively evaluate the effect of KD on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the skeleton, 14 male Sprague-Dawley rats were equally divided into two groups and fed with a KD (ratio of fat to carbohydrate and protein, 3:1) or a standard diet for 12 weeks. Body weight, as well as blood ketone and glucose levels, were monitored during the experiment. Bone morphometric analyses via micro-computerized tomography were performed on cortical and trabecular bone at the middle L4 vertebral body, the proximal humerus and tibia. The compressive stiffness and strength of scanned skeletal areas were calculated using micro-finite element analysis. The KD led to higher ketone levels and lower glucose levels, with reduced body weight and total bone mineral density (TBMD). After 12 weeks, the diet reduced the bone volume fraction, the trabecular number of cancellous bone, cortical thickness, total cross-sectional area inside the periosteal envelope and the bone area of cortical bone in the tibia and humerus, while increasing trabecular separation. However, KD may not affect the L4 vertebral body. The serum calcium or phosphate concentrations in the blood remained unchanged. In addition, bone stiffness and strength were clearly decreased by the KD, and significantly correlated with the BMD and bone area at all scanned sites. In conclusion, KD led to significant bone loss and reduced biomechanical function in appendicular bones, with a lesser impact on axial bones.

Abstract
Populations of East Asian countries have been known to have low calcium intakes and low serum 25(OH)D concentrations, suggesting that Ca and vitamin D (VitD)-deficiencies are commonly observed. These nutritional imbalances may lead to low peak bone mass (PBM). The low PBM seen in Ca/VitD-deficient individuals may lead to osteoporosis, as well as an increased risk of fracture. A survey was conducted in young Japanese women (n = 296, 21.2 ± 2.3 years old) on their Ca/VitD intakes and serum 25(OH)D levels, which demonstrated a significant positive correlation between VitD intake and serum 25(OH)D levels (R 2 = 0.020, P = 0.016), and the proportion with serum 25(OH)D over 20 ng/mL was significantly increased with VitD intake (P = 0.013). Serum 25(OH)D was negatively correlated to serum intact parathyroid hormone (R 2 = 0.053, P < 0.001). On receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the VitD intake threshold for maintaining 25(OH)D levels at 20 ng/mL or higher was 11.6 μg/day or greater. It was suggested that the recommended VitD intake allowance, defined in the Adequate Intakes as 5.5 μg/day, may not be sufficient to maintain serum 25(OH)D levels for bone health.

Abstract
Hypovitaminosis D is a problem among hip fracture patients. In a 1-year cohort study comprising 245 hip fracture patients (mean age of females 81 years and males 78 years) from south-eastern Finland, the mean 25-hydroxyvitamin D [S-25(OH)D] concentration was 73(SD 31) nmol/L. Vitamin D supplementation has been integrated into our current practice. INTRODUCTION The objectives of this study are to verify vitamin D levels among hip fracture patients and to compare the results with a similar study conducted in the same two hospitals covering the same geographic area 12 years ago. METHODS A prospective cohort comprising 245 Caucasian hip fracture patients was enrolled in the study in two acute hospitals in south-eastern Finland (61° N) over a 12-month period in 2015-2016. The S-25(OH)D was measured using 25-hydroxyvitamin D electrochemiluminescence binding assay. The S-25(OH)D concentrations were compared with the corresponding concentrations of a similar cohort analyzed in the same two hospitals 12 years ago. RESULTS Of the 245 patients, 70% were women with a mean age of 81 (SD 10) years, while the men had a mean age of 78 (SD 12) years (p < 0.01). The total mean S-25(OH)D concentration was 73 (SD 31.3) nmol/L. Regional differences were found: 15% in hospital A and 36% in hospital B had a S-25(OH(D level < 50 nmol/L, and the mean S-25(OH)D level was 79.2 (SD 31.7) nmol/L in hospital A and 62.4 (SD 27.5) nmol/L in hospital B (p < 0.001). No differences were found in S-25(OH)D concentrations by either the place of residence or the time of year. Overall, the percentage of patients with a sufficient vitamin D level (> 50 nmol/L) was remarkably higher in 2015-2016 (77%) than in 2003-2004 (22%). CONCLUSION Our results indicate that vitamin D supplementation has been widely integrated into our current practice. However, regional differences were found in the S-25(OH)D concentrations for which the reasons are unknown.
