Abstract
All patients with diabetes require individual and personalized nutritional consultation with professionals. The patient's needs should be the primary focus of the dietary therapy, taking their lifestyle and the type of diabetes into consideration. With the recommendations to the patient's diet, there need to be specific metabolic goals to reduce the disease's progression and to avoid long term health effects. Therefore, practical guidelines such as portion size and meal planning tips should be the main focus.According to the latest national and international standards, patients suffering from diabetes should have access to nutrition consulting and nutritional training. During consultation they can be supported on- how to manage their health condition and choosing food and beverage to improve their health.These practical recommendations sum up the latest literature on nutritional aspects of diabetes treatment.

Socio-economic inequalities in fragility fracture incidence: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 61 observational studies. Osteoporos Int 2021; 32:2433-2448. [PMID: 34169346 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-021-06038-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2021] [Accepted: 06/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Individuals with low socio-economic status (SES) have a more than 25% higher risk of fragility fractures than individuals with high SES. Body mass index and lifestyle appear to mediate the effect of SES on fracture risk. Strategies to prevent fractures should aim to reduce unhealthy behaviours through tackling structural inequalities. INTRODUCTION This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of socio-economic status (SES) on fragility fracture risk. METHODS Medline, Embase, and CINAHL databases were searched from inception to 28 April 2021 for studies reporting an association between SES and fragility fracture risk among individuals aged ≥50 years. Risk ratios (RR) were combined in meta-analyses using random restricted maximum likelihood models, for individual-based (education, income, occupation, cohabitation) and area-based (Index of Multiple Deprivation, area income) SES measures. RESULTS A total of 61 studies from 26 different countries including more than 19 million individuals were included. Individual-based low SES was associated with an increased risk of fragility fracture (RR 1.27 [95% CI 1.12, 1.44]), whilst no clear association was seen when area-based measures were used (RR 1.08 [0.91, 1.30]). The strength of associations was influenced by the type and number of covariates included in statistical models: RR 2.69 [1.60, 4.53] for individual-based studies adjusting for age, sex and BMI, compared with RR 1.06 [0.92, 1.22] when also adjusted for health behaviours (smoking, alcohol, and physical activity). Overall, the quality of the evidence was moderate. CONCLUSION Our results show that low SES, measured at the individual level, is a risk factor for fragility fracture. Low BMI and unhealthy behaviours are important mediators of the effect of SES on fracture risk. Strategies to prevent fractures and reduce unhealthy behaviours should aim to tackle structural inequalities in society thereby reducing health inequalities in fragility fracture incidence.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with an increased fracture risk. Weight loss in T2DM management may result in lowering of bone mass. In this systematic literature review, we aimed to investigate how exercise affects bone health in people with T2DM. Furthermore, we examined the types of exercise with the potential to prevent and treat bone fragility in people with T2DM. RECENT FINDINGS Exercise differs in type, mechanical load, and intensity, as does the osteogenic response to exercise. Aerobic exercise improves metabolic health in people with T2DM. However, the weight-bearing component of exercise is essential to bone health. Weight loss interventions in T2DM induce a loss of bone mass that may be attenuated if accompanied by resistance or weight-bearing exercise. Combination of weight-bearing aerobic and resistance exercise seems to be preventive against excessive bone loss in people with T2DM. However, evidence is sparse and clinical trials investigating the effects of exercise on bone health in people with T2DM are warranted.

Abstract
The negative impact of depression on the course and outcome of somatic disorders is well-known and has a solid theoretical basis. The analyses of prospective studies confirm the role of depression as an independent and significant risk factor for widespread chronic somatic disorders including such severe and life-threatening conditions as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and oncological pathology. The majority of somatic disorders and depression are the part of the big class of hereditary diseases with multifactorial character and polygenic nature. It is likely, that the genetic risk diversity of these diseases in population is close. There is also a high probability of genetic risks levels overlap (or of common «cluster») of two or more diseases in one individual, with one disorder being major depression. In that case such diseases could be considered «genetically comorbid» and manifestation of one disease could alter the risks of other. Precise and informative diagnostic tools could detect subsyndromal depression that could be the prognostic sign of the high risk and rapid manifestation of somatic diseases. Thus, patients with depressive disorder could be considered as a group with high risks of diverse range of somatic pathology. The coalescence of fundamental biomedical scientists and internists (psychiatrists and other physicians) could lead to the elaboration of specific complex preventative measures including social ones.

Abstract
Distal radius fractures are one of the most common fractures in the elderly. Falls and motor vehicle collisions lead to increased risk for this type of fracture. A seventy-three year-old female had a previous history of distal radius fracture with repair by open reduction and internal fixation. She was involved in a motor vehicle collision that re-fractured the distal radius. The plate was bent and required removal, which is a very rare but potentially serious complication. Surgery was done to fix the open reduction and internal fixation with volar locking plates while removing damaged hardware. Only a select few cases have reported hardware failure as a cause of complications. Among those cases, high-energy activities and maintained stress on the hardware were likely causes. Distal radius fractures are the most common upper extremity fracture in the elderly. We highlight a unique case of re-fracture in the setting of trauma with prior hardware failure and describe the strategy for hardware repair.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) provides an estimate of bone mineral density (BMD) and also evaluates bone quality, which has been related to increased fracture risk in people with diabetes. This study aimed at assessing the correlates of calcaneal QUS parameters in diabetic subjects encompassing various degrees of micro and macrovascular complications and a wide-range of peripheral nerve function. METHODS Four hundred consecutive diabetic patients were examined by QUS to obtain values of broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA), the speed of sound (SOS), quantitative ultrasound index (QUI), and BMD. RESULTS Among surrogate measures of complications, sensory and motor nerve amplitude and heart rate response to cough test and standing correlated with QUS parameters at univariate analysis, together with age, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, lipid profile, and renal function. Multivariate analysis revealed that BUA, SOS, QUI, and BMD were independently associated with age, male gender, hemoglobin A1c, BMI (or fat, but not fat-free mass), and somatic and autonomic nerve function parameters. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that peripheral nerve dysfunction is associated with worse QUS parameters, possibly contributing to increased fracture risk in diabetes. The positive relation of QUS measures with adiposity needs further investigation. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01600924).

Abstract
Evidence demonstrates that medical diabetes treatment has to be accompanied by lifestyle modifications. Structured nutrition interventions and increased physical activity will help patients to normalise, respectively maintain their body weight. The main target of a diabetes therapy is aimed at achieving normal or nearly normal blood glucose levels. Reaching this goal may be facilitated by the following nutritional patterns: Using mainly carbohydrates from vegetables, whole grains, legumes and fruits, Restriction of mono- and disaccharides are often important factors in normalising body weight and blood glucose, Reduction of dietary fat could be indicated. However, the primary goal is the limitation of saturated fatty acids which to high percentage are consumed with animal products. There is not sufficient evidence to recommend a dietary protein consumption of more than 20% of energy intake. Individuals with diabetes should be aware of the importance of acquiring daily vitamin and mineral requirements. Natural food sources should be preferred.

Abstract
The coexistence of osteoporosis and hypertension, which are considered distinct diseases, has been widely reported. In addition, daily intake of calcium and sodium, as well as parathyroid hormone levels (PTH), is known to be associated with osteoporosis and hypertension. This study aimed to determine the association of low calcium intake, high sodium intake, and PTH levels with osteoporosis and hypertension in postmenopausal Korean women. Data for postmenopausal Korean women aged 50 years or older were obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2008-2011. Osteoporosis was diagnosed using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, while hypertension was diagnosed using blood pressure data. The odds ratios for osteoporosis and hypertension were calculated using logistic regression analysis for quartiles of the daily calcium intake, daily sodium intake, and PTH levels. Women with hypertension had a high coexistence of osteoporosis (43.6 vs. 36.5 %; P = 0.022), and vice versa (21.1 vs. 16.6 %; P = 0.022). PTH was significantly associated with osteoporosis and hypertension, and a high intake of calcium was strongly correlated with a low incidence of osteoporosis. This is the first study to report the characteristics of postmenopausal Korean women who have high dietary sodium intake and low dietary calcium intake, in association with the incidence of osteoporosis and hypertension. Osteoporosis and hypertension were strongly associated with each other, and PTH appears to be a key mediator of both diseases, suggesting a possible pathogenic link.

Abstract
SUMMARY Age modifies the effect of area-level socioeconomic status (SES) in the risk of fragility hip fractures (HF). For older individuals, the risk of HF increases as SES increases. For younger individuals, risk of HF increases as SES decreases. Our study may help decision-makers to better direct the implementation of political decisions. INTRODUCTION The effect of socioeconomic status (SES) on hip fracture (HF) incidence remains unclear. The objective of this study is to evaluate the association between HF incidence and municipality-level SES as well as interactions between age and SES. METHODS From the Portuguese Hospital Discharge Database, we selected hospitalizations (2000-2010) of patients aged 50+, with HF diagnosis (codes 820.x, ICD9-CM), caused by traumas of low/moderate energy, excluding bone cancer cases and readmissions for aftercare. Municipalities were classified according to SES (deprived to affluent) using 2001 Census data. A spatial Bayesian hierarchical regression model (controlling for data heterogeneity and spatial autocorrelation), using the Poisson distribution, was used to quantify the relative risk (RR) of HF, 95% credible interval (95%CrI), and analyze the interaction between age and SES after adjusting for rural conditions. RESULTS There were 96,905 HF, 77.3% of which were on women who, on average, were older than men (mean age 81.2±8.5 vs 78.2±10.1 years) at admission (p<0.001). In women, there was a lower risk associated with better SES: RR=0.83 (95%CrI 0.65-1.00) for affluent versus deprived. There was an inverse association between SES and HF incidence rate in the youngest and a direct association in the oldest, for both sexes, but significant only between deprived and affluent in older ages (≥75 years). CONCLUSIONS Interaction between SES and age may be due to inequalities in lifestyles, access to health systems, and preventive actions. These results may help decision-makers to better understand the epidemiology of hip fractures and to better direct the available funding.

Depressive symptoms are not associated with forearm bone accrual during adolescence. Arch Osteoporos 2014; 9:173. [PMID: 24619250 DOI: 10.1007/s11657-014-0173-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2013] [Accepted: 01/29/2014] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Although depression has been associated to worst bone physical properties in adulthood, this study showed that depressive symptoms were not significantly associated to bone mineral density measured at the forearm during adolescence. PURPOSE Depressive conditions have been related to the reduction of bone mineral density (BMD) in adulthood. Though it is possible to hypothesize that depressive symptoms present similar effects in bone mineral accrual during adolescence, such association is poorly researched. Therefore, we aimed to study the relation between depressive symptoms and forearm BMD during adolescence. METHODS The study is based on the Epidemiological Health Investigation of Teenagers cohort that sampled adolescents born in 1990 and enrolled in public and private schools of Porto during the 2003/2004 academic year. At baseline (n = 2,160) and at 17 years of age (n = 1,716), depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). BMD (grams per square centimetre) was measured at the non-dominant forearm using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Sex-specific crude and adjusted linear regression coefficients (β) and the corresponding 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CIs) were calculated to estimate the cross-sectional and prospective associations between depressive symptoms and forearm BMD. RESULTS In both sexes, in early and late adolescence, depressive symptoms presented no statistically significant association with forearm BMD (β Girls13 = 0.09, 95 % CI = -0.43 to 0.61; β Girls17 = 0.10, 95 % CI = -0.43 to 0.64; β Boys13 = -0.10, 95 % CI = -0.96 to 0.76; β Boys17 = 0.49, 95 % CI = -0.96 to 1.93). Similarly, there were no significant associations between depressive symptoms and the annual forearm BMD change during adolescence in girls and boys (β Girls_BDI-II_13-17_remained_lowest = -0.85, 95 % CI = -4.62 to 2.92 vs. β Girls_BDI-II_13-17_remained_highest = -1.87, 95 % CI = -5.06 to 1.31; β Boys_BDI-II_13-17_remained_lowest = 0.48, 95 % CI = -5.30 to 6.26 vs. β Boys_BDI-II_13-17_remained_highest = 1.36, 95 % CI = -3.25 to 5.97). CONCLUSIONS Depressive symptoms, with the range of severity observed in the general adolescent population, were not associated with changes in forearm bone mineral density during adolescence. Further research based on measurements of different skeletal sites is needed in order to detect a systemic effect of depression on growing bone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder (MDD) has been linked with accelerated bone loss leading to the development of low bone mineral density (BMD). Several mechanisms have been discussed as causative factors, e.g. lifestyle, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) intake, or the influence of proinflammatory cytokines. METHODS In a cross-sectional study of in-patients with a current episode of MDD, without somatic comorbidities, we determined various parameters of bone metabolism, inflammatory parameters and parameters of depression. BMD was measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry. RESULTS Of 50 patients, only one had low BMD in any of the measure sites. Body mass index (BMI) correlated positively with Z-scores. 83.3% of the examined patients had elevated osteoprotegerin (OPG) levels. SSRI intake did not have an effect on BMD. BMD in the femoral neck was significantly lower in smokers. We also found a positive correlation between the level of physical activity and osteocalcin levels. CONCLUSIONS In our sample, young to middle-aged, somatically healthy, and acutely depressed patients with a history of MDD showed no reduction of BMD. This could be due to compensatory mechanisms, as suggested by elevated OPG levels. Physical activity and high BMI could also have served as protective factors. Still, as patients with MDD often suffer from comorbidities or take medication with a negative effect on bone, this population should be appreciated as a high-risk group for the development of osteopenia and osteoporosis.

Abstract
Evidence demonstrates that medical diabetes treatment has to be accompanied by lifestyle modifications. Structured nutrition interventions and increased physical activity will help patients to normalise, respectively maintain their body weight.The main target of a diabetes therapy are normal or nearly normal blood glucose levels. The following nutritional patterns facilitate reaching this goal: • Carbohydrates from fruits, vegetables,whole grains, legumes • Restriction of mono- and disaccharides are often important factors in normalising body weight and blood glucose • Reduction of dietary fat could be indicated. However, the primary goal is the limiting saturated fatty acids which to high percentage are consumed with animal products. • There is not sufficient evidence to recommend an increase of dietary protein consumption about 20 % of energy intake. • Individuals with diabetes should be aware of the importance of acquiring daily vitamin and mineral requirements. Natural food sources should be preferred.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis poses a significant public health problem for ageing Australians. However, approximately 25 % of Australian adults aged 20-49 years have osteopenia, a precursor condition to osteoporosis. Despite this, little is known about bone density testing in this age group. METHODS Reasons for referral to dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) were examined in 2,264 patients aged 20-49 years, referred in 2001-2010 to the Geelong Bone Densitometry Service, Geelong Hospital, Victoria. Referral reasons were determined from clinical indication codes derived from patient records. Age, sex and bone mineral density (BMD) T scores were ascertained for each patient. RESULTS The most common reason for referral for women reflected glucocorticoid use, and for men reflected fracture. Compared to women, men were more likely to have been referred because of minimal trauma fracture or low BMD (41.7 versus 27.1 %, p < 0.001). No further differences were identified between the sexes, with similar numbers of referral observed for secondary osteoporosis, and monitoring of drug therapy. At the spine, and for all indications, men had a significantly greater BMD deficit compared to women (all p ≤ 0.002). After age adjustment, men who were tested due to fracture or glucocorticoid reasons had significantly greater BMD at the total hip (p ≤ 0.03). No further associations were seen after age adjustment between referral reason and BMD. CONCLUSIONS Our study presents the first data examining reasons for referral to DXA among Australians aged 20-49 years. Understanding health service utilisation regarding bone health in young adults is fundamental to understanding future risk, informing effective public health messages and raising awareness of osteoporosis.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In this prospective, 10-year study in community-dwelling elderly aged 50 years and over, hip fracture incidence and accordingly age at hip fracture were inversely associated with the area-level income, independently of the geographical area. Age at hip fracture also depended of marital status but in a gender-specific way. PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of socioeconomic and living conditions on hip fracture incidence and age occurrence among community-dwelling elderly. METHOD Between January 1991 and December 2000, 2,454 hip fractures were recorded in community-dwelling adults aged 50 years and over in the Geneva University Hospital, State of Geneva, Switzerland. Median annual household income by postal code of residence (referred to as area-level income) based on the 1990 Census was used as a measure of socioeconomic condition and was stratified into tertiles (< 53,170; 53,170-58,678; and ≥ 58,678 CHF). Hip fracture incidence and age occurrence were calculated according to area-level income categories and adjusted for confounding factors among community-dwelling elderly. RESULTS Independently of the geographical area (urban versus rural), community-dwelling persons residing in areas with the medium income category presented a lower hip fracture incidence [OR 0.91 (0.82-0.99), p = 0.049] compared to those from the lowest income category. Those in the highest income category had a hip fracture at a significant older age [+1.58 (0.55-2.61) year, p = 0.003] as compared to those in the lowest income category. Age at hip fracture also depended on marital status but in a gender-specific way, with married women fracturing earlier. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that incidence and age occurrence of hip fracture are influenced by area-level income and living conditions among community-dwelling elderly. Prevention programs may be encouraged in priority in communities with low income.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study examined the association between physical activity and fitness and peripheral nervous system (PNS) function in overweight and obese individuals. METHODS Forty nondiabetic overweight adults (mean +/- SD; age = 44 +/- 11 yr) were recruited for the study. Peroneal motor nerve and radial, sural, and medial plantar sensory nerve conductions were studied. Maximal oxygen uptake was measured in an incremental bicycle ergometer test. Physical activity was assessed by accelerometer and self-reporting. We analyzed the data using multiple stepwise linear regression models adjusted for age, height, and skin temperature. RESULTS VO2max predicted 17% of peroneal distal compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude variation and 16% of peroneal proximal CMAP amplitude variation. Physical activity index at the age of 30 yr predicted 9% of peroneal motor nerve conduction velocity (NCV), 8% of peroneal F-wave maximum latency, 14% of medial plantar sensory latency, and 10% of medial plantar sensory NCV variation. CONCLUSIONS Physical activity and fitness are positively associated with PNS function and should be encouraged in overweight people.

Abstract
UNLABELLED There is a lack of data on the prevalence of osteoporosis in patients with distal radius fractures occurring at the various seasons. The prevalence of osteoporosis is high, both in patients with indoor and outdoor fractures and higher than in controls. All female distal radius fracture patients >or=50 years should be referred for osteoporosis assessment. INTRODUCTION The objectives of this study in female distal radius fracture patients were to investigate seasonal differences, estimate the prevalence of osteoporosis, and identify factors associated with distal radius fractures compared with controls. METHODS In a 2-year period, 263 women >/=50 years suffered a low-energy distal radius fracture in the geographic catchment area. The 214 women who met for osteoporosis assessment were age-matched with 191 controls. Bone mineral density was assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry at femoral neck, total hip, and lumbar spine. Demographic and clinical data were collected. RESULTS The prevalence of indoor fractures showed no seasonal variance. For outdoor fractures, the prevalence was highest in the winter months. The prevalence of osteoporosis among patients with indoor fractures was higher (58.5%) than outdoor fractures without (38.6%) and with snow/ice (36.0%; p < 0.001). The prevalence of osteoporosis was higher in fracture patients (42.5%) than controls (24.1%; p < 0.001), this was also found in the youngest age group 50-59 years (22.2% vs 1.8%; p < 0.001). In conditional logistic regression analyses osteoporosis, current use of glucocorticoids, and living alone were independently associated with distal radius fractures. CONCLUSIONS Our study highlights that environmental factor, as well as osteoporosis are associated with distal radius fractures in middle-aged and elderly women. Osteoporosis is also frequently found in outdoor patients, thus, all female distal radius fracture patients >or=50 years should be referred for osteoporosis assessment.

Abstract
Major depressive disorder has been associated with low bone mineral density. The strength of this association, however, varies greatly among studies; the direction of the causative link is still controversial, and the etiology remains unclear. We aimed to confirm this association, assess its magnitude and estimate its clinical relevancy. A total of 535 articles were initially identified and the research synthesis was based on 33 qualified articles. Of these, 25 articles (or 76%) showed an inverse relationship between major depression or minor depression or depressive symptoms and bone mineral density or bone turnover. Meta-analysis could be performed on 20 of the initially selected 33 articles. Standardized weighted differences in mean AP spine, total femur and femoral neck bone mineral density, each from at least 10 studies, were computed in g/cm (2) and transformed into percent differences. At each site, bone mass was lower in subjects with depression as compared to controls: AP spine bone mineral density was 4.73% lower (95% CI -7.28% to -2.19%, p<0.0001; n=16 studies), total femur bone mineral density was 3.53% lower (95% CI -5.66% to -1.41%, p<0.001; n=13 studies), and femoral neck bone mineral density was 7.32% lower (95% CI -10.67% to -3.96%; p<0.0005; n=8 studies). In conclusion, major depressive disorder was associated with lower bone mineral density at the AP spine, femoral neck, and total femur. The deficits in bone mineral density in subjects with depression are of clinical significance and likely to increase fracture risk over the lifetime of these subjects.

Abstract
Overall, socioeconomic status (SES) is inversely associated with poorer health outcomes. However, current literature provides conflicting data of the relationship between SES and bone mineral density (BMD) in men. In an age-stratified population-based randomly selected cross-sectional study of men (n=1467) we assessed the association between SES and lifestyle exposures in relation to BMD. SES was determined by matching the residential address for each subject with Australian Bureau of Statistics 2006 census data for the study region. BMD was measured at the spine and femoral neck by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Lifestyle variables were collected by self-report. Regression models were age-stratified into younger and older groups and adjusted for age, weight, dietary calcium, physical activity, and medications known to affect bone. Subjects with spinal abnormalities were excluded from analyses of BMD at the spine. In younger men, BMD was highest at the spine in the mid quintiles of SES, where differences were observed compared to quintile 1 (1-7%, p<0.05). In older men, the pattern of BMD across SES quintiles was reversed, and subjects from mid quintiles had the lowest BMD, with differences observed compared to quintile 5 (1-7%, p<0.05). Differences in BMD at the spine across SES quintiles represent a potential 1.5-fold increase in fracture risk for those with the lowest BMD. There were no differences in BMD at the femoral neck. Further research is warranted which examines the mechanisms that may underpin differences in BMD across SES quintiles and to address the current paucity of data in this field of enquiry.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis is the most common cause of secondary osteoporosis. The role of the Wnt signaling pathway in bone formation and the ratio of receptor activator for NF-kappaB ligand versus osteoprotegerin in bone resorption are exciting new insights. The absolute fracture risk helps both clinicians and patients to interpret the results of bone density measurement, which may have a positive influence on adherence to therapy. The bisphosphonates alendronate and risedronate are the first-line treatment in the prevention of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, because both increase the bone mineral density of the spine and hips and reduce the vertebral fracture rate. Treatment with the anabolic agent parathyroid hormone (1 - 34) strongly stimulates bone turnover, and seems to be superior to treatment with alendronate. It might be attractive for glucocorticoid-treated patients with new vertebral fractures during treatment with bisphosphonates, and/or with severe fracture risk.

Abstract
Prevalent fracture of the lumbar spine is established as a predictor of increased mortality in the general population. To examine whether this association is retained in hemodialysis patients, we conducted a single-center prospective observational study in 635 hemodialysis patients (60.3 + or - 12.0 years old, male/female 369/266). Patients were divided into two groups (with and without lumbar fracture, assessed by simple lateral radiograph), and survival was followed for an average of 53.8 months. Lumbar fracture was present in 62 patients (9.76%; male 9.76%, female 9.77%). During the follow-up period, there were 176 all-cause deaths (27.7%; male 27.6%, female 27.8%), of which 72 were from cardiovascular diseases. In Kaplan-Meier analysis, all-cause and noncardiovascular mortality rates, but not cardiovascular mortality, were significantly higher in patients with fracture than in those without (P < 0.0001). In multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis, the presence of lumbar fracture was significantly associated with increased noncardiovascular mortality (HR = 2.035, 95% CI 1.135-3.652, P < 0.05) after adjustment for age, duration of hemodialysis, presence of diabetes, body mass index, and serum calcium, phosphate, and albumin. Significantly higher all-cause and noncardiovascular mortality rates were also evident for patients with fracture in separate analyses in males and females, but multivariate analysis showed a significant association of lumbar fracture with increased all-cause (HR = 2.151, 95% CI 1.033-4.478, P < 0.05) and noncardiovascular (HR = 2.637, 95% CI 1.014-6.858, P < 0.05) mortality rates only in females. In conclusion, lumbar fracture is significantly associated with all-cause mortality in female patients.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a major public health threat. Multiple studies have reported an association between depression and low bone mineral density, but a causal link between these two conditions is disputed. Here we review the endocrine and immune alterations secondary to depression that might affect bone mass. We also discuss the possible role of poor lifestyle in the etiology of osteoporosis in subjects with depression and the potential effect of antidepressants on bone loss. We propose that depression induces bone loss and osteoporotic fractures, primarily via specific immune and endocrine mechanisms, while poor lifestyle habits and use of specific antidepressants are potential contributory factors.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Although socioeconomic status (SES) is inversely related to most diseases, this systematic review showed a paucity of good quality data examining influences of SES on osteoporotic fracture to confirm this relationship. Further research is required to elucidate the issue and any underlying mechanisms as a necessary precursor to considering intervention implications. INTRODUCTION The association between socioeconomic status (SES) and musculoskeletal disease is little understood, despite there being an inverse relationship between SES and most causes of morbidity. We evaluated evidence of SES as a risk factor for osteoporotic fracture in population-based adults. METHODS Computer-aided search of Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsychINFO from January 1966 until November 2007 was conducted. Identified studies investigated the relationship between SES parameters of income, education, occupation, type of residence and marital status, and occurrence of osteoporotic fracture. A best-evidence synthesis was used to summarize the results. RESULTS Eleven studies were identified for inclusion, which suggested a lack of literature in the field. Best evidence analysis identified strong evidence for an association between being married/living with someone and reduced risk of osteoporotic fracture. Limited evidence exists of the relationship between occupation type or employment status and fracture, or for type of residence and fracture. Conflicting evidence exists for the relationship between osteoporotic fracture and level of income and education. CONCLUSION Limited good quality evidence exists of the role SES might play in osteoporotic fracture. Further research is required to identify whether a relationship exists, and to elucidate underlying mechanisms, as a necessary precursor to considering intervention implications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Overweight or obese populations may have lower risk of osteoporotic fractures and higher bone mineral density (BMD), while bone strength is determined not only by bone material but also by bone structural parameters. Thus, the influence of body weight on bone geometry was examined in Chinese overweight adults. AIM The purpose of this study was to explore how total body lean mass (TBLM) and total body fat mass (TBFM) contribute to the variation of bone geometry at the femoral neck in Chinese overweight adults. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Bone geometric parameters including section modulus (Z), cross-sectional area (CSA), subperiosteal width (W), cortical thickness (CT) and buckling ratio (BR) were compared in 100 overweight (body mass index, BMI >/= 23) vs. 100 underweight subjects (BMI </= 18.5) in Chinese female and male adults aged 20-44 years by multiple regression analyses. RESULTS Multiple regression analysis revealed that both TBLM and TBFM were significantly higher in overweight subjects than in underweight subjects. Meanwhile, significant differences in bone geometric parameters (except W) were also detected between the overweight and underweight groups after adjustment for age and height in both sexes (p </= 0.001). Bone bending strength Z and axial strength CSA were 14% and 13% higher in females, as well as 18% and 20% higher in males in the overweight group than in the underweight group, respectively. The significant differences mentioned above were not observed when adjusted for TBLM, age, and height. TBLM seemed to be the strongest significant positive predictor of bone geometric parameters (p < 0.001), with the exception of W in both sexes and BR in females, while TBFM did not contribute significantly to the bone geometric parameters (p > 0.055 for both sexes). CONCLUSION Bone geometry may adapt primarily to mechanical load as represented by TBLM, but TBFM seemed to have no independent effect on bone geometry in Chinese overweight subjects.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The relationship between radiographic and functional outcomes in older patients with distal radius fractures is controversial. We explored this relationship by assessing the influence of radiographic displacement and fracture comminution on the functional outcomes of these fractures. We also asked whether operative intervention and demographic factors (age, gender, duration of followup) influenced outcome. We examined 53 patients older than 55 years with distal radius fractures with various functional assessments: range of motion (ROM) and strength measurements, three subjective surveys (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand; Patient-rated Wrist Evaluation; Modernized Activity Subjective Survey of 2007), a Gartland and Werley score, and an objective, standardized hand performance test (Jebsen-Taylor). We measured angulation, articular gap/stepoff, and radial shortening on final radiographs and fracture comminution of preoperative radiographs. We observed no effect of radiographic displacement on subjective or objective outcome assessments, including standardized hand performance timed testing. Surgically treated fractures were less likely to display residual dorsal angulation and radial shortening, but surgical intervention did not independently predict functional outcome. Fracture comminution, patient gender, and months of followup similarly had no effect on outcome. We found no relationship between anatomic reduction as evidenced by radiographic outcomes and subjective or objective functional outcomes in this older patient cohort. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, diagnostic study. See the Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
The nature of the relationship between affective disorders, bone mineral density (BMD), and bone metabolism is unresolved, although there is growing evidence that many medications used to treat affective disorders are associated with low BMD or alterations in neuroendocrine systems that influence bone turnover. The objective of this review is to describe the current evidence regarding the association of unipolar and bipolar depression with BMD and indicators of bone metabolism, and to explore potential mediating and confounding influences of those relationships. The majority of studies of unipolar depression and BMD indicate that depressive symptoms are associated with low BMD. In contrast, evidence regarding the relationship between bipolar depression and BMD is inconsistent. There is limited but suggestive evidence to support an association between affective disorders and some markers of bone turnover. Many medications used to treat affective disorders have effects on physiologic systems that influence bone metabolism, and these conditions are also associated with a range of health behaviors that can influence osteoporosis risk. Future research should focus on disentangling the pathways linking psychotropic medications and their clinical indications with BMD and fracture risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Women aged >or=65 years are screened routinely for osteoporosis in the developed world and identifying risk factors for osteoporosis should be highlighted in developing countries such as the People's Republic of China. In the present study, possible factors related to the occurrence of primary osteoporosis in aged Chinese women were explored. METHODS On appointed attendance at a menopausal outpatient clinic, generally healthy Chinese women aged >or=65 years were requested to complete a self-administered questionnaire. Bone mineral density at the left femur region was assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, by which subjects were categorized as osteoporotic (group A), osteopenic (group B) or normal (group C). If a prevalent spinal fracture was affirmed, patients in group B were reclassified into group A. Non-conditional logistic regression analysis was applied to the calculate odds ratio (OR) of being in group A against the other two groups in terms of social and behavior factors (including education, past occupation, work quality, marriage status, income, self-rated health status, amount of daily physical activity, cigarette smoking, time watching television, and consumption of milk, soy products and tea). RESULTS Three hundred and twenty-four participants were eligible (77 in group A, 137 in group B, 110 in group C). There were significant differences in age, height, weight, menopausal age and years since menopause among groups. Compared with subjects with amount of daily physical activity <0.5 h in group A, the OR for women in group C was 0.357 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.144-0.889) for 0.5-1 h, 0.314 (95% CI 0.126-0.780) for 1-2 h and 0.278 (95% CI 0.080-0.968) for >2 h of daily physical activity. When adjusted for age and weight, however, the difference was not significant. Other factors did not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSION The development of osteoporosis in aged women was affected by both menopause and aging. The known related factors could help to identify susceptible subjects in aged Chinese women for either further assessment or treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether endothelium-dependent vasodilatation is related to anthropometric parameters in 105 healthy postmenopausal women 47-68 years of age. METHODS Flow-dependent, endothelium-dependent vasodilatation was considered as the maximal dilatation following deflation of a cuff placed on the forearm and inflated to supra-systolic blood pressure values for 4 min. Endothelium-independent vasodilatation was considered as the maximal dilatation induced by sublingual nitroglycerine (400 microg). RESULTS Among parameters such as height, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist, hip, waist/hip ratio, lipids, glucose or insulin, only BMI, an indirect index of adiposity, was independently and directly related to baseline brachial artery diameter (b = 0.042, r = 0.269, p = 0.0055) and flow-mediated endothelium-dependent vasodilatation either expressed as net (b = 0.034, r = 0.315, p = 0.001) or percentage (b = 0.376, r = 0.202, p = 0.039) change. Stratification for BMI categories showed that women with BMI < 22 kg/m(2) had an endothelium-dependent vasodilatation, significantly lower than that of women with BMI >or= 30 kg/m(2) (0.711 +/- 0.076 mm vs. 1.107 +/- 0.141 mm; p = 0.0114). BMI was not related to endothelium-independent vasodilatation. CONCLUSIONS Present results show that, in healthy postmenopausal women, endothelium-dependent vasodilatation is related to BMI, arteries of slender women dilating less than those of their heavier counterparts. A low BMI does not appear to be beneficial for artery vasodilatation in healthy postmenopausal women.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This study of postmenopausal women (n=2,928) with an eight-year follow-up revealed that impairment in functional status associated with the increased fracture risk. The standing-on-one-foot and grip strength tests and a question about self-assessed ability to move can be used to identify women with a high risk of suffering a fracture. INTRODUCTION Poor functional status has pointed to associate with injurious falls and consequent fractures. Our aim was to define association between functional capacity and fractures. METHODS This study was based on the Osteoporosis Risk Factor and Prevention Study (OSTPRE). A total of 2,928 postmenopausal women took part in the functional capacity and muscle strength tests. The duration of fracture follow-up varied from 6.43 to 9.86 (mean 8.37) years and the first fracture was the end-point event for the statistical analyses. All analyses were done with Cox-regression. RESULTS A total of 261 end-point fractures occurred. In multivariate analysis the inability to stand-on-one-foot for 10 seconds increased the risk of hip fracture (hazard ratio with 95% CI) 9.11-fold (1.98-42.00). Decreased grip strength associated with 1.05-fold (1.01-1.09) increased risk of hip fractures. Low leg extension strength associated with 1.02-fold (1.00-1.03) higher risk for all fractures. The self-assessed ability to walk less than 100 meters at baseline increased the risk of ankle 2.36-fold (1.10-5.08), hip 11.57-fold (2.73-49.15) and clinical vertebral fractures 3.85-fold (1.45-10.22). CONCLUSION According to these results the standing-on-one-foot less than 10 seconds, grip strength and a question about ability to walk less than 100 meters may help to predict postmenopausal fractures.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There have been numerous studies examining the association between depression and bone mineral density (BMD), but the underlying nature of this relationship remains unclear. Independent of this association, there is a growing body of evidence that depression impacts the risk for fracture in older adults. This article reviews the current epidemiological evidence regarding comorbidity of depression, low bone mineral density, and fracture. METHODS A review of the literature on depression, depressive symptoms, low BMD, osteoporosis, and fracture using electronic databases. RESULTS We reviewed 20 studies of the association between depression and BMD and five reports of the relationship between depression and fractures. Potential mediating mechanisms (both physiological and behavioral) are discussed, as well as potential confounding influences (e.g., medication use). CONCLUSIONS Most studies support the finding that depression is associated with increased risk for both low BMD and fractures, but variation in study design, sample composition, and exposure measurement make comparisons across studies difficult. Researchers should be aware of potential confounders, such as medication use, that may influence results. Future research should focus on identifying mediating pathways and targets for intervention in the relationships between depression, low BMD, and fracture.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine genotypes and clinical aspects associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women from Córdoba, Argentina. Polymorphisms were assessed by RFLP-PCR technique using BsmI and FokI for vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) and XbaI and PvuII for estrogen receptor-alpha gene (ERalpha) as restrictases. Sixty-eight healthy, 54 osteopenic, and 64 osteoporotic postmenopausal women were recruited. Femoral neck and lumbar spine BMD were inversely correlated with age in the entire analyzed population. Height was lower in osteopenic and osteoporotic women as compared to healthy women (P < 0.05). Weight and body mass index (BMI) were the lowest in osteoporotic women (P < 0.01 versus healthy group). Serum procollagen type I Nterminal propeptide (PINP) was higher in osteoporotic women as compared to the other groups. Distribution of VDR and ERalpha genotypes was similar in the three groups. Genotype bb (VDR) was associated with low values of lumbar BMD in the healthy group (P < 0.05 versus genotype Bb), and with low values of femoral BMD (P < 0.05 versus genotype BB) in osteoporotic women. BB*Pp interaction was associated with the highest femoral neck BMD (P < 0.05), whereas the bb*xx interaction was associated with the lowest femoral neck BMD in the total population analyzed (P < 0.05). In conclusion, parameters such as age, height, weight, BMI, serum PINP, VDR genotypes, and interactions between VDR and ERalpha genotypes could be useful to predict a decrease in BMD in Argentine postmenopausal women.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The study aimed to clarify associations between height loss, bone loss and the quality of life (QOL) score among general inhabitants of Miyama, a rural Japanese community. This population-based epidemiological study was conducted in Miyama, a village located in a mountain area in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan. METHODS A list of all inhabitants comprising 1,543 inhabitants (716 men, 827 women) born in this village between 1910-1949 was compiled. From the above whole cohort, a subcohort to measure bone mineral density (BMD) was recruited, consisting of 400 participants, divided into four groups of 50 men and 50 women each, and stratified into age decades by decade of birth-year (1910-1919, 1920-1929, 1930-1939 or 1940-1949). BMD measurement, physical measurements of height (cm) and body weight (kg) were taken, and body mass index (BMI; kg/m(2)) were calculated. BMD and anthropometric measurements were repeated on the same participants at 3, 7 and 10 years after baseline measurement (1993, 1997 and 2000). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Among 299 of 400 participants, changes in height over 10 years for men in their 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s were -0.7 cm, -0.5 cm, -1.2 cm and -1.5 cm, respectively, compared with -0.7 cm, -1.4 cm, -2.1 cm and -3.7 cm in women, respectively. No significant relationships between change in height and rate of change in BMD at the lumbar spine and femoral neck after adjustment for age in men (lumbar spine, beta = 0.058, standard error of the mean (SE) = 0.031, P = 0.501, R(2) = 0.038; femoral neck, beta = 0.100, SE = 0.038, P = 0.228, R(2) = 0.121) were identified. By contrast, among women, a significant positive association was identified between height change and change rate of BMD at the lumbar spine after adjusting for age (beta = 0.221, SE = 0.039, P = 0.012, R(2) = 0.069), while no significant relationship was found between height change and change rate at the femoral neck (beta = 0.107, SE = 0.039, P = 0.229, R(2) = 0.048). No significant relationship was noted between vertebral fractures (VFx) and height at baseline in men and women (men: odds ratio (OR) 0.93, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.81-1.05, P = 0.24; women: OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.87-1.08, P = 0.58) or between VFx and height loss (men: OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.00-1.71, P = 0.051; women: OR 1.20, 95% CI 0.94-1.53, P = 0.14). In both men and women, no significant relationship was identified between utility of the EuroQol EQ5D questionnaire and height at baseline (men: beta = -0.148, SE = 0.003, P = 0.202, R(2) = 0.076; women: beta = 0.127, SE = 0.004, P = 0.235, R(2) = 0.048), and height change (men: beta = -0.078, SE = 0.008, P = 0.452, R(2) = 0.065; women: beta = 0.053, SE = 0.010, P = 0.608, R(2) = 0.038).

Abstract
Osteoporosis affects approximately 7 million patients in Germany and severely impairs quality of life. The clinical picture, subjective complaints as well as the presence or absence of risk factors are essential to determine the individual risk profile and to decide on possible serum blood tests, osteodensitometry, and X-ray examinations. Back pain or other clinical evidence of impaired bone stability should be evaluated with X-ray studies of the spine. If osteoporosis and an increased risk of fracture are present, treatment is indicated which includes an evidence-based pharmaceutical regimen in order to increase bone stability and to lower the risk of fractures. Drug treatment with adequate calcium and vitamin D supplementation and antiresorptive or osteoanabolic substances, usually for 3-5 years, should be accompanied by pain medication and neuromuscular rehabilitation to help prevent falls and maintain independence of the elderly.

Abstract
Major depression is associated with low bone mass and increased incidence of osteoporotic fractures. However, causality between depression and bone loss has not been established. Here, we show that mice subjected to chronic mild stress (CMS), an established model of depression in rodents, display behavioral depression accompanied by impaired bone mass and structure, as portrayed by decreases in trabecular bone volume density, trabecular number, and trabecular connectivity density assessed in the distal femoral metaphysis and L3 vertebral body. Bone remodeling analysis revealed that the CMS-induced skeletal deficiency is accompanied by restrained bone formation resulting from reduced osteoblast number. Antidepressant therapy, which prevents the behavioral responses to CMS, completely inhibits the decrease in bone formation and markedly attenuates the CMS-induced bone loss. The depression-triggered bone loss is associated with a substantial increase in bone norepinephrine levels and can be blocked by the beta-adrenergic antagonist propranolol, suggesting that the sympathetic nervous system mediates the skeletal effects of stress-induced depression. These results define a linkage among depression, excessive adrenergic activity, and reduced bone formation, thus demonstrating an interaction among behavioral responses, the brain, and the skeleton, which leads to impaired bone structure. Together with the common occurrence of depression and bone loss in the aging population, the present data implicate depression as a potential major risk factor for osteoporosis and the associated increase in fracture incidence.
