Chuang TL, Chuang MH, Lin CH, Chou SC, Wang YF. Significant association factors of bone mineral density in Taiwan adults. Tzu Chi Med J 2019; 32:367-372. [PMID: 33163383 PMCID: PMC7605296 DOI: 10.4103/tcmj.tcmj_113_19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2019] [Revised: 06/11/2019] [Accepted: 06/28/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: To examine the biofactors associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in southern Taiwanese adults. Materials and Methods: The medical records of 3242 adults who underwent health examinations between June 2014 and February 2018 at a regional hospital in southern Taiwan were reviewed. The data collected included health history, anthropomorphic characteristics, clinical laboratory results, biochemical parameters, and BMD. The data were used to identify the biofactors associated with BMD/T-scores at the lumbar spine and femoral neck by multivariate linear regression analysis with the stepwise method. Results: The mean age of the patients was 58.1 years, and 71.4% were male. Factors positively correlated with BMD and the T-score included body mass index (BMI), male gender, calcium, and creatinine. Age, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), triiodothyronine, serum thyroxine, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and a history of hyperlipidemia were negatively correlated with BMD and the T-score. Conclusion: The associated biofactors reported here were similar to and had similar relationships as the biofactors identified in previous literature reports. Not all of the sites examined for BMD were influenced by the same association factors, except for BMI, male gender, age, and ALP, implying that the bone remodeling processes that shape BMD involve a complex regulatory network and demonstrating that our extracted factors are the most useful for clinical practice.

J Bone Miner Metab 2015; 33:401-9. [PMID: 25001078 DOI: 10.1007/s00774-014-0600-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2013] [Accepted: 05/08/2014] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the gender- and body-site-specific factors associated with bone mineral density (BMD) at the femoral neck and lumbar spine in a non-institutionalized population aged ≥50 years characterized by low average calcium intake. The comprehensive data utilized were from the 2010 Fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which included health behavior questionnaire, blood and urine tests, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and nutrition intake. The factors associated with BMD at the femoral neck and lumbar spine in both genders were analyzed separately using multiple regression analysis with a stepwise selection. The average daily calcium intake in the male subjects was 565.8 mg and in the female subjects was 443.7 mg. In multiple regression analysis, age, body mass index (BMI), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lead, daily calcium intake, and cadmium were the significant factors associated with femoral neck BMD in male subjects. BMI, creatinine (Cr), total body fat percentile, lead, ALP, and hypertension were found to be the significant factors associated with lumbar spine BMD in male subjects. In the female subjects, the significant factors associated with femoral neck BMD were age, BMI, ALP, house income, and total body fat percentile, while menopause, Cr, mercury, house income, BMI, and ALP were found to be the significant factors associated with lumbar spine BMD. In conclusion, different factors were associated with BMD depending on gender and the body site tested (femoral neck or lumbar spine). These gender- and body-site-specific factors need to be considered for the prevention and management of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Production and evaluation of different diet formulas fortified with oyster shell for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Eighty-eight female albino rats were recruited and divided into 11 groups (8 rats each). Group 1 represented negative control while the remaining groups were ovariectomized. Group 2 acted as positive control. Groups 3-5 were fed on basal diet. Groups 6-8 were fed on lentil soup while groups 9-11 were fed on vegetable soup. Group 4, 7, 10 were fed on diets fortified with oyster shell. Groups 5, 8 and 11 were fed on diet formulas fortified with calcium citrate. All calcium fortified diet formulas, especially lentil soup, have minimized risk factors associated with osteoporosis as indicated from the significant increase in tibial weight, total protein, total calcium and phosphorus with noticeable reduction in ALP activity compared to positive group. Maximum recovery was observed for diet fortified with oyster shell. These data suggest that food products fortified with oyster shell as natural and inexpensive source could be beneficial for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest an association between allergic diseases, including asthma, and lower vitamin D level, a well-known risk factor of osteoporosis. However, it is not yet clearly known whether patients with asthma are prone to bone loss. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the occurrence of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) or asthma is related to significant changes in bone mineral density (BMD). METHODS We retrospectively enrolled 7,034 patients who had undergone a health checkup program, including BMD tests and methacholine bronchial challenge tests, at the Seoul National University Hospital, Healthcare System Gangnam Center, from November 1, 2004 to April 30, 2011. Asthma was ascertained by self-reported medical diagnosis by a physician. Patients with a history of systemic corticosteroid medication use were excluded from the study. RESULTS Among a total of 7,034 patients, 216 (3.1%) had a positive AHR test result, and 217 (3.1%) had a history of asthma. Lumbar spine and femur BMD of patients with AHR were significantly lower than those without AHR (-0.53 ± 1.50 vs -0.03 ± 1.49, -0.47 ± 0.97 vs -0.22 ± 0.99, respectively; P < .001 for both). After being adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, smoking status, postmenopausal state, and previous history of hormone replacement therapy, the proportion of patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis was much higher in the AHR-positive group than in the AHR-negative group (odds ratio, 1.715; 95% confidence interval, 1.252-2.349) and in the ever-asthma group than in the never-asthma group (odds ratio, 1.526; 95% confidence interval, 1.120-2.079). CONCLUSION In the current study, AHR and asthma were related to clinically meaningful BMD decrease, although the causal relationship is unclear.

Abstract
SUMMARY Previous studies on the association between uric acid and bone mineral density yielded conflicting results. In this study, we demonstrated positive association between uric acid and lumbar spine bone mineral density in peri- and postmenopausal Japanese women. Further research is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanism. INTRODUCTION Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Uric acid, a potent antioxidant substance, has been associated with bone mineral density but previous studies have yielded conflicting results. The objective of the study was to examine the association between serum uric acid and lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD). METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of medical records of 615 women, aged 45-75 years, who had lumbar spine BMD measurement by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry as a part of health checkup from August 2011 to July 2012. RESULTS Mean serum uric acid level was 4.7 mg/dL. Serum uric acid level was positively and significantly associated with lumbar spine BMD independent of age, body mass index, smoking, drinking, physical activity, years after menopause, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, serum calcium, estimated glomerular filtration rate, plasma C-reactive protein, and serum alkaline phosphatase (standardized beta = 0.078, p = 0.049). Uric acid rapidly increased until the age of 60 years, and then decelerated but continued to increase thereafter. The association between lumbar spine BMD and uric acid remained significantly positive after excluding women older than 60 years. CONCLUSION The present study showed that higher uric acid levels were linearly associated with higher lumbar spine BMD in peri- and postmenopausal Japanese women. Further research is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanism of the association between uric acid and BMD.

Abstract
Decreased bone mineral density (BMD) is common in patients with schizophrenia; however, the pathogenesis is unclear. Different classes of antipsychotic agents may affect BMD. This study systemically examined the effects of clozapine vs. other antipsychotics, and several hormonal and metabolic factors that may contribute to BMD in female patients with schizophrenia, who are more vulnerable than males. Forty-eight women with schizophrenia, treated with long-term antipsychotics of the prototype prolactin-sparing (PS) antipsychotic agent clozapine vs. prolactin-raising (PR) antipsychotics were enrolled. They were matched for demographic and clinical characteristics. Various factors, including blood levels of prolactin and sex hormones, psychopathological symptoms, global assessment of functioning, physical activity, and menopausal status, were determined to explore their contribution to low BMD (LBMD), defined as a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometer (DEXA) T score <-1. Overall, women receiving clozapine have better bone density than women receiving PR antipsychotics. Compared to PR antipsychotics, PS clozapine therapy is a protective factor (odds ratio 28.2, 95% confidence interval 2.37-336.10, p=0.008) for LBMD. Predictors for higher bone density in the clozapine group included higher clozapine dose (p<0.001), younger age (p<0.001), and higher thyroid-stimulating hormone level (p<0.001); in the PR group, higher body mass index (p=0.003) and lower alkaline phosphatase level (p=0.007) were associated with LBMD. This study suggests that clozapine treatment is beneficial for BMD compared to PR antipsychotic treatment in women with chronic schizophrenia, and clozapine's bone-density protecting effect is dose-related.

Abstract
The authors found 41 patients with 42 fractures of the hip who had no distinct history of trauma in the total of 1,449 hip fractures treated. They were all women ranging in age from 64 to 91 years. Most of the fractures were of intracapsular type. Three extracapsular fractures, however, were found. Fractures were randomly selected with clear history of trauma, which were matched to the patients with no trauma for age, sex, and type of fracture as a control group. The grades of osteoporosis of the femoral neck, estimated with the Singh index, and of the spine, estimated with the spinal score, were noted statistically significantly higher in the patients than those in the control group. Most of spontaneous fractures of the hip in the elderly are considered similar phenomena to the compression fractures of the dorsolumbar spine.
