[PMID: 39158800 DOI: 10.1007/s12020-024-04001-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the prevalence of osteosarcopenia (OS) in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and explore the related risk factors for developing this condition. METHODS This cross-sectional study enrolled hospitalized T2DM patients aged 60 years and older. Patients underwent assessments of total hip bone mineral density (BMD), grip strength, the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), and body composition. Based on the 2019 Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) criteria, appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM), grip strength, and SPPB were measured to diagnose sarcopenia. BMD and T values of the lumbar spine and hip were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Osteosarcopenia was defined when both sarcopenia and osteoporosis criteria were met. Statistical analysis included binary logistic regression to identify significant risk factors. RESULTS A total of 254 hospitalized T2DM patients (80 males and 174 females) were included. They were divided into T2DM-OS (n = 58) and T2DM-NOS (n = 196) groups based on the presence of osteosarcopenia. The average ages were 72.724 ± 6.463 and 69.265 ± 6.035 years, respectively. The prevalence of osteosarcopenia in T2DM patients was 22.8%, with 20.7% (12 males) and 79.3% (46 females) in the T2DM-OS group. After adjusting for confounding factors, it was found that male gender (OR: 5.738, 95% CI: 1.602-20.551, P = 0.007), fasting plasma glucose (OR: 0.904, 95% CI: 0.821-0.995, P = 0.038), and ASMI (OR: 0.049, 95% CI: 0.013-0.184, P < 0.001) were major influencing factors for the development of osteosarcopenia in elderly T2DM patients. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of T2DM-OS is relatively high, with male gender, low fasting plasma glucose, and low ASMI identified as risk factors.

Abstract
Aims: Dynapenia is a noteworthy health issue contributing to increased risk of falling, but its co-occurrence with osteoporosis in elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has not been well explored. Therefore, this study aimed to establish the association between osteoporosis and dynapenia, focusing on T2DM females due to their high prevalence of osteoporosis and fragility. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study to recruit a total of 103 T2DM patients (43 males and 60 females), aged between 50 and 80 years with median 68.0 years. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and dominant hand grip strength measurements were performed to define body composition, osteoporosis, and dynapenia in a sex-specific manner. Results: Higher prevalence of dynapenia and dyna-osteoporosis was observed in female T2DM patients with a significantly positive correlation between osteoporosis and dynapenia even after adjustment of body mass index (BMI). By performing a multivariate logistic regression analysis, both BMI and osteoporosis were identified as risk predictors for the development of dynapenia in female T2DM patients with odds ratios (95% CIs) of 1.234 (1.029-1.480) and 4.883 (1.352-17.630), respectively. Conclusions: Our results point out there is high, female-specific co-occurrence of osteoporosis and dynapenia in T2DM patients. Moreover, having osteoporosis and increased BMI might boost the risk of dynapenia in elderly females with T2DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between bone metabolism markers, bone mineral density (BMD), and sarcopenia. METHODS A total of 331 consecutive patients aged ≥ 60 years who were hospitalized between November 2020 and December 2021 were enrolled. Participants were divided into sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia groups according to the Asian Working Group on Sarcopenia criteria (AWGS, 2019). The clinical data, bone metabolism markers (β-CTX, N-MID, and TP1NP), and BMD were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Age, β-CTX, and N-MID of the sarcopenia group were higher than those of the non-sarcopenia group (P < 0.05), but the BMD T values were lower than those of the non-sarcopenia group (P < 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that increased femoral neck BMD (FNBMD) was a protective factor for sarcopenia, while increased β-CTX was a risk factor. Pearson/Spearman correlation analysis showed that the diagnostic indices of sarcopenia were positively correlated with FNBMD and negatively correlated with β-CTX and N-MID. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that BMI and FNBMD significantly positively affected muscle strength and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM). The FNBMD significantly positively affected physical performance, while β-CTX significantly negatively affected muscle strength, ASM, and physical performance. CONCLUSION Increased FNBMD may be a protective factor against sarcopenia, and increased β-CTX may be a risk factor. The FNBMD significantly positively affected the diagnostic indices of sarcopenia, while β-CTX significantly negatively affected them. BMD and bone metabolism marker levels may be considered in early screening for sarcopenia.

Abstract
Loss of lean muscle mass and accumulation of adipose tissue are changes associated with aging. Previous studies have documented various components of body composition as predictors for insulin resistance. The objective of this study was to investigate whether components of body composition-appendicular lean mass (ALM) and/or abdominal fat mass (AFM)-correlate with insulin resistance in older men and women. This was a cross-sectional study of 92 older men and women. Weight was classified according to body mass index (BMI)-normal (BMI <25), overweight (BMI 25-30), and obese (BMI >30). All body composition data was determined by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and insulin resistance was assessed by the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Multivariable regression models with two-way interaction terms were employed to assess whether the associations between components of body composition and log HOMA varied by BMI categories. Adjusted regression showed that log HOMA was significantly associated with AFM (estimate ± standard error: 0.055 ± 0.026) and ALM (0.057 ± 0.029) for the overweight participants (p-values <0.05). Additionally, the adjusted associations between log HOMA and ALM were significantly greater for participants who were either obese or overweight compared to those with a normal BMI (p<0.002). Less consistent relationships were observed between insulin resistance and abdominal fat mass across BMI categories, whereas more consistent associations were observed between insulin resistance and appendicular lean mass in individuals with greater BMI. Further research is needed to clarify if lipid deposition within muscle tissue promotes muscle dysfunction and thereby increases risk for insulin resistance.

Abstract
Osteoporosis and fragility fractures (FFs) are considered critical health problems by the World Health Organization (WHO) because of high morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. The occurrence of a FF raises the risk of a subsequent fracture (refracture). The hip is the most common site of fragility refracture, and its onset is associated with a further increase in patient's morbidity, mortality, and socioeconomic burden. Therefore, the prevention of refracture is essential. In this context, fracture liaison service (FLS) demonstrated to be able to reduce FF risk and also improve patients' adherence to anti-osteoporotic treatments, particularly for bisphosphonates (BPs). However, long-term and high adherence to BPs may lead to atypical femoral fractures (AFFs). These latter are tensile side stress fractures of the femur, with high rates of complications, including delayed and non-healing. An effective FLS should be able to prevent both FF and AFF. A comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach, through the involvement and education of a dedicated team of healthcare professionals (i.e. orthopedic, geriatrician, primary care physician, rehabilitation team, and bone nurse) for evaluating both FF and AFF risks might be useful to improve the standard of care.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:1013397. [PMID: 36578954 PMCID: PMC9790927 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.1013397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to analyze the quantitative association between advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and adjusted FRAX by rheumatoid arthritis (FRAX-RA) in postmenopausal type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients. The optimal cutoff value of AGEs was also explored, which was aimed at demonstrating the potential value of AGEs on evaluating osteoporotic fracture risk in postmenopausal T2D patients. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study including 366 postmenopausal participants (180 T2D patients [DM group] and 186 non-T2D individuals [NDM group]). All the subjects in each group were divided into three subgroups according to BMD. Physical examination, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and serum indicators (including serum AGEs, glycemic parameters, bone turnover markers and inflammation factors) were examined. The relationship between FRAX-RA, serum laboratory variables, and AGEs were explored. The optimal cutoff value of AGEs to predict the risk of osteoporotic fracture was also investigated. RESULTS Adjusting the FRAX values with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) of T2D patients reached a significantly increased MOF-RA and an increasing trend of HF-RA. AGEs level was higher in the DM group compared to the NDMs, and was positively correlated with MOF-RA (r=0.682, P<0.001) and HF-RA (r=0.677, P<0.001). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that the area under the curve was 0.804 (P<0.001), and the optimal AGEs cut-off value was 4.156mmol/L. Subgroup analysis for T2D patients revealed an increase in TGF-β, IL-6 and SCTX in the osteoporosis group, while a decreased PINP in the osteoporosis group compared to the other two subgroups. AGEs were positively associated with FBG, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, S-CTX, IL-6 and TGF-β in T2D patients, and negatively associated with PINP. CONCLUSIONS RA-adjusted FRAX is a relevant clinical tool in evaluating fracture risk of postmenopausal T2D patients. Our study analyzed the relationship between AGEs and FRAX-RA, and explored the threshold value of AGEs for predicting fracture risk in postmenopausal T2D patients. AGEs were also associated with serum bone turnover markers and inflammation factors, indicating that the increasing level of AGEs in postmenopausal T2D patients accelerated the expression of inflammatory factors, which led to bone metabolism disorders and a higher risk of osteoporotic fractures.
