A study of bone mineral density in women with forearm fracture in Northern Ireland

A group of Northern Ireland women aged 40–75 years of age with low-trauma forearm fracture were studied to determine the incidence of such fractures and the prevalence of osteoporosis in this fracture population. A total of 1,147 subjects were identified in 1997 and 1998 throughout Northern Ireland following low-trauma forearm fractures, as well as 699 residents in the Eastern Health and Social Services Board (EHSSB), enabling calculation of the annual incidence rate of new low-trauma forearm fractures at 2.69/1,000 population aged 40–75. A total of 375 participants consented to have bone mineral density (BMD) measurements undertaken at the femoral neck, spine, and forearm using a Lunar Expert bone densitometer. Osteoporosis at the femur was present in 14% of women, at the spine in 29%, and at the forearm in 32%. A total of 45% were osteoporotic at one or more measured sites, but only 18% were on treatment for osteoporosis. Additional significant risk factors identified included an early menopause in 24.5% and current or previous corticosteroid use in 13%. Only 1.6% received information on treatment of osteoporosis at the time of fracture. Increased awareness is needed in both primary and secondary care including fracture services to improve treatment of women with low-trauma fracture.     

Bone mineral density and risk factors for osteoporosis—A population-based study of 1600 perimenopausal women

Population-based epidemiological studies on osteoporosis are few. Our study evaluated the effects of menopause and certain putative behavioral risk factors on bone mineral density (BMD). Spinal and femoral neck BMD were measured with dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) from 1600 perimenopausal women aged 48–59 years (mean 53.2 years) with no diseases or medications known to affect bone metabolism. These women were a selected sample of the Kuopio Osteoporosis Risk Factor and Prevention Study population (n=14,220). There was a wide variation of BMD among perimenopausal women. Menopause had a major effect on BMD. Postmenopausal women had significantly lower BMD in both spine (-6.2%) and femoral neck (-3.9%) as compared with premenopausal women. Multiple regression analysis showed that weight, menopausal status, age, and grip strength were significant independent predictors of both spinal and femoral BMD. Additionally, physical activity was found to be a significant predictor of femoral BMD, and alcohol consumption was a significant predictor of spinal BMD. However, current anthropometric and lifestyle factors explained only 18.7–25.4% of the variability of BMD. Therefore, the estimation of the risk factor status at menopause is not an adequate substitute for bone densitometry. However, our results may in part help clinicians to identify the risk groups at which to direct bone density measurements.     

Reducing the risk for distal forearm fracture: preserve bone mass, slow down, and don’t fall!

A case-control study of 1,150 female and male distal forearm cases and 2,331 controls of age 45 years and older was undertaken from 1996–2001 in five Northern California Kaiser Permanente Medical Centers. Most information on possible risk factors was obtained by an interviewer-administered questionnaire, supplemented by a few tests of lower extremity neurological function. Previous fractures since 45 years of age, a rough marker of osteoporosis, were associated with an increased risk (adjusted odds ratio [OR] [95% confidence interval] =1.48 [1.20–1.84 ] per previous fracture). Several factors thought to protect against low bone mass were associated with a reduced risk, including current use of menopausal hormone therapy (adjusted OR = 0.60 [0.49–0.74]), ever used thiazide diuretics or water pills for at least 1 year (adjusted OR=0.79 [0.64–0.97]), high body mass index (weight in kg/height in m²) (adjusted OR=0.96 [0.89–1.04] per 5 unit increase), and high dietary calcium intake (adjusted OR=0.88 [0.75–1.03] per 500 mg/day). Falls in the past year and conditions associated with falling, such as epilepsy and/or use of seizure medication (adjusted OR=2.07 [1.35–3.17]) and a history of practitioner-diagnosed depression (adjusted OR=1.40 [1.13–1.73]), were associated with increased risks. Having difficulty performing physical functions and all lower-extremity problems measured in this study were associated with reduced risks. The results from this and other studies indicate that distal forearm fractures tend to occur in people with low bone mass who are otherwise in relatively good health and are physically active, but who are somewhat prone to falling (particularly on an outstretched hand), and whose movements are not slowed by lower extremity problems and other debilities. Thus, measures to decrease fall frequency and to slow down the pace of relatively healthy people with low bone mass should lead to a lower frequency of distal forearm fracture.     

Physical training preserves bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with forearm fractures and low bone mineral density

Summary One hundred and twelve postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density (BMD) and forearm fractures were randomized to physical training or control group. After one year the total hip BMD was significantly higher in the women in the physical training group. The results indicate a positive effect of physical training on BMD in postmenopausal women with low BMD. Introduction The fivefold increase in hip fracture incidence since 1950 in Sweden may partially be due to an increasingly sedentary lifestyle. Our hypothesis was that physical training can prevent bone loss in postmenopausal women. Methods One hundred and twelve postmenopausal women 45 to 65 years with forearm fractures and T-scores from −1.0 to −3.0 were randomized to either a physical training or control group. Training included three fast 30-minute walks and two sessions of one-hour training per week. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured in the hip and the lumbar spine at baseline and after one year. Results A per protocol analysis was performed, including 48 subjects in the training group and 44 subjects in the control group. The total hip BMD increased in the training group +0.005 g/cm2 (±0.018), +0.58%, while it decreased −0.003 g/cm2 (±0.019), −0.36%, (p = 0.041) in the control group. No significant effects of physical training were seen in the lumbar spine. A sensitivity intention to treat analysis, including all randomized subjects, showed no significant effect of physical training on BMD at any site. Conclusions The results indicate a small but positive effect of physical exercise on hip BMD in postmenopausal women with low BMD.     

No effect of vitamin A intake on bone mineral density and fracture risk in perimenopausal women.

In recent studies from Sweden and the United States, a high vitamin A intake has been associated with low bone mineral density (BMD) and increased fracture risk. In Sweden and the United States, food items such as milk and breakfast cereals are fortified with vitamin A, whereas in Denmark there is no mandatory fortification with vitamin A. In the present study, we investigated relations between vitamin A intake and BMD and fracture risk in a Danish population consuming mostly unfortified food items. Within a population-based cohort study in 2,016 perimenopausal women, associations between BMD and vitamin A intake were assessed at baseline and after 5-year follow-up. Moreover, associations between baseline vitamin A intake and 5-year changes in BMD were studied. Finally, fracture risk was assessed in relation to vitamin A intake. In our cohort, dietary retinol intake (0.53 mg/day) was lower than the intake reported in recent studies form Sweden (0.78 mg/day) and the United States (1.66 mg/day). Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses showed no associations between intake of vitamin A and BMD of the femoral neck or lumbar spine. Neither did BMD differ between those 5% who had the highest, and those 5% who had the lowest, vitamin A intake. During the 5-year study period, 163 subjects sustained a fracture (cases). Compared to 978 controls, logistic regression analyses revealed no difference in vitamin A intake. Thus, in a Danish population, average vitamin A intake is lower than in Sweden and the United States and not associated with detrimental effects on bone.

Bone mineral density in chinese elderly women with hip fracture

In order to examine the status of osteoporosis of the patients with hip fracture, we assessed the bone mineral density (BMD) of the contralateral hip of 81 elderly females with hip fracture and compared those with 77 normal Chinese women. The age of fracture subjects was 73.5±6.6 years (mean±SD), and 69.2±6.9 years for the controls. All of these fractures were caused by minor trauma, such as falls from a standing position or slipping to the ground. The Norland 2600 dual-photon absorptiometer (DPA) was used to evaluated the BMD in the femoral neck, trochanter, and Ward's triangle areas. The BMD for the fracture subjects was significantly lower than those of the controls. By linear regression, the probability of fracture increased exponentially with age and low BMD. The mean BMD for femoral neck of the fracture subjects versus controls was 0.556 versus 0.624 g/cm²; for trochanter: 0.505 versus 0.566 g/cm²; for Ward's triangle: 0.432 versus 0.485 g/cm². Both negative predictive value (NPV) and positive predictive value (PPV) were acceptable at the prevalence of hip fracture of 5% or 20% and at a cutoff point of 0.65 g/cm². These data revealed that the degree of relative osteoporosis in the patients with hip fractures was more severe than that of controls.

Fragility fractures and bone mineral density in HIV positive women: a case-control population-based study

Summary This Canadian study of bone health showed that HIV+ women were more likely to have had fragility fractures (OR 1.7) but had BMD values that were not different than women from a national population-based cohort. Introduction Given that 17.5 million women globally are HIV-infected and living longer on anti-retroviral therapy (ART+), it is essential to determine whether they are at risk for osteoporosis as is currently assumed. Methods Assessment of osteoporosis risk factors and lifetime low-trauma (fragility) fracture history used a common interviewer-administered questionnaire and phantom-adjusted bone mineral density (BMD). This study compared HIV+ Canadian women with age- and region-matched control women (1:3) from a national population-based study of osteoporosis. Results One hundred and thirty-eight HIV+ women (100 ART+, 38 ART-) were compared with 402 controls. There were no differences in age (37.7 vs. 38.0 years), BMI (25.0 vs. 26.2), family history of osteoporosis, exercise history, alcohol or calcium intakes, age at menarche, oral contraceptive use or parity. HIV+ cases included more Aboriginal and Black women (12.5% and 16.2 vs. 2% and 1%, respectively), smoked and used injection drugs (53%) more, were more often treated with glucocorticoids, had oligomenorrhea, and reported 10-kg weight cycling. Significantly more HIV+ women reported lifetime fragility fractures (26.1% vs. 17.3; OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1, 2.6). HIV+ and control women did not differ in BMD: spine 1.0 ± 0.12 vs.1.0 ± 0.14 g/cm² (diff. 0.0, 95% CI −0.27, 0.27) or total femur 0.91 ± 0.15 vs. 0.93 ± 0.12 g/cm² (diff 0.02, 95% CI +0.005, −0.045). Conclusion HIV+ women reported significantly more past osteoporotic fractures than population-based controls despite normal BMD. Research is needed to assess bone microarchitecture and develop a reliable fracture risk assessment tool for HIV+ women.     

绝经后妇女桡骨远端骨折术后桡骨短缩与骨密度的相关性研究

目的分析绝经后妇女的骨密度与桡骨远端骨折术后出现桡骨短缩的相关性。方法回顾性分析自2012-01—2014-06行手术治疗的252例绝经妇女桡骨远端骨折,术后均达到解剖复位或基本达到解剖复位,获得1年完整随访。将术后3个月桡骨短缩距离4 mm的患者纳入观察组,其余的按年龄、骨折类型及绝经时间进行1∶1个体匹配,纳入与观察组同样数量的病例进入对照组(术后3个月桡骨短缩距离4 mm)。术前、术后3个月及术后6个月用双能X线骨密度仪对2组健侧桡骨进行骨密度测量。结果观察组骨密度值:术前(0.69±0.14)g/cm2,术后3个月(0.67±0.12)g/cm~2,术后6个月(0.62±0.10)g/cm~2。对照组骨密度值:术前(0.79±0.15)g/cm~2,术后3个月(0.76±0.13)g/cm~2,术后6个月(0.71±0.10)g/cm~2。2组骨密度值随时间增加而降低,且观察组术前(F=7.588,P=0.008)、术后3个月(F=8.520,P=0.005)、术后6个月(F=11.203,P=0.001)骨密度值均低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。结论对于桡骨远端骨折患者术后出现桡骨短缩的原因,骨密度降低是一个不容忽略的重要因素,在术后应重视对低骨密度的患者采取相应措施。     

辛伐他汀对桡骨远端骨折老年女性骨密度及骨折愈合的影响

目的探讨辛伐他汀对老年女性桡骨远端骨折骨密度及骨折愈合的影响。方法分析98名桡骨远端骨折老年女性术前及术后3个月健侧桡骨远端1/3处骨密度,依据术后是否口服辛伐他汀治疗其他内科疾患分为辛伐他汀治疗组(56例)及对照组(42例)。结果治疗前辛伐他汀组与对照组健侧桡骨远端1/3处骨密度差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。治疗3个月后辛伐他汀组健侧桡骨远端1/3处骨密度与治疗前骨密度相比差异具有统计学意义(P0.05);对照组健侧桡骨远端1/3处骨密度均值增高,与初始时差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。治疗3个月后辛伐他汀组与对照组两组间骨密度差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。通过卡方检验分析发现辛伐他汀组与对照组相比骨折愈合数存在统计学差异,辛伐他汀可以促进骨折愈合;分析两组间治疗前后骨质正常、骨量减少、骨质疏松数之间差异无统计学意义,辛伐他汀不影响骨质疏松患病率。结论桡骨远端骨折老年女性应用辛伐他汀(20 mg/d)可以改善桡骨远端骨密度、促进骨折愈合,但不影响骨质疏松患病率。     

A nomogram for predicting lifetime hip fracture risk from radius bone mineral density and age

A statistical model for predicting a woman's lifetime risk of hip fracture using her bone mineral density at menopause has been proposed by Black et al. (1992b). We made an additional assumption concerning the correlation of bone mineral density between any two ages among postmenopausal women and applied the modified model to baseline ages between 50 and 85 years and any bone mineral density level likely to be observed in the population. The results are displayed in a form more convenient for application of this model in the clinical setting.

Prevalence of pre-stroke low bone mineral density and vertebral fracture in first stroke patients

PURPOSE: After stroke, many factors contribute to the loss of bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture. Pre-stroke low BMD and vertebral fracture may pose a greater risk of fractures and further contribute to additional functional loss. The purposes of this study were to assess pre-stroke BMD and vertebral fracture in patients with first stroke. METHODS: Forty-eight patients with first stroke events were included. To reflect pre-stroke BMD, the patients who underwent bone densitometry tests within 30 days from stroke onset were selected. BMD was checked at the lumbar spine and both femurs (total hip and femoral neck). Thoracic and lumbar spine X-rays were performed. RESULTS: Of the 48 stroke patients, 21 (43.8%) had osteoporosis and 19 (39.6%) had osteopenia. X-ray evaluation showed that 12 (25.0%) had one or more lumbar or thoracic vertebral fractures and 8 (16.7%) had two or more vertebral fractures. Of the 12 patients who had one or more vertebral fractures, 4 (33.3%) were previously aware of the fact that they had a vertebral fracture. CONCLUSION: Results showed a high prevalence of pre-stroke low BMD and vertebral fracture in patients experiencing first stroke. Bone loss progresses rapidly in the acute stages of stroke, and such a high prevalence of pre-stroke low BMD and vertebral fracture may pose a greater risk of fractures and further contribute to additional functional loss. Therefore, early screening and active management of osteoporosis from the acute stages of stroke is critical.     

Determinants of bone mineral density in Chinese-American women

Summary Few data are available regarding bone mineral density (BMD) and its determinants among Chinese Americans. We identified determinants of BMD among 359 Chinese-American women in order to identify risk factors for low BMD in this burgeoning population. BMD in Chinese-American women is influenced by a number of factors, including immigration. Introduction Osteoporosis and low BMD are common among Chinese women, including Chinese Americans, who are a growing population at risk for osteoporosis in the US. Few data are available regarding BMD and its determinants among Chinese-American women. Methods In this study, we examined predictors of BMD in 359 ambulatory Chinese-American women, ages 20–90, using stepwise multiple regression analysis. Variables in the model included age, weight, height, menarche age, years since menopause, immigration age, years in US, percentage of life in US, number of pregnancies, oral contraceptive use, family history of osteoporosis, family history of hip fracture, daily calcium intake, exercise, time outdoors, alcohol consumption and tobacco use. Results Among premenopausal women, weight was the strongest predictor of BMD, accounting for 10.5% of the variance at the lumbar spine (LS), 15.2% at the total hip (TH) and 16.6% at the femoral neck (FN). Time outdoors was also a positive predictor of BMD (1.4% at LS, 2.8% at TH and 1.6% at FN), while family history of osteoporosis (1.4% at TH) and age (3.7% at FN) were negative predictors. Among postmenopausal women, greater BMD at the LS and TH was associated with greater weight and earlier immigration age. Weight accounted for 16.4% of the variance at the LS and 19.8% at the TH; immigration age accounted for 3.1% of the variance at the LS and 4.1% at the TH. At the FN, years since menopause and weight were predictors of BMD, accounting for 14.4% and 8.7% of the variance, respectively. While older age at immigration had a negative effect on BMD, years in and proportion of life in the United States were not significant predictors of BMD. Conclusions Bone mineral density in Chinese-American women is influenced by a number of biological and lifestyle factors, including immigration. The results of this study provide new insights into risk factors for low bone density as they relate to environmental determinants in the growing population of Chinese-American women.     

No effect of vitamin K1 intake on bone mineral density and fracture risk in perimenopausal women

Introduction Vitamin K functions as a co-factor in the post-translational carboxylation of several bone proteins, including osteocalcin.Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between vitamin K₁ intake and bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk in a perimenopausal Danish population.Design The study was performed within the Danish Osteoporosis Prevention Study (DOPS), including a population-based cohort of 2,016 perimenopausal women. During the study approximately 50% of the women received hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Associations between vitamin K₁ intake and BMD were assessed at baseline and after 5-years of follow-up (cross-sectional design). Moreover, associations between vitamin K₁ intake and 5-year and 10-year changes in BMD were studied (follow-up design). Finally, fracture risk was assessed in relation to vitamin K₁ intake (nested case–control design).Results In our cohort, dietary vitamin K₁ intake (60 μg/day) was close to the daily intake recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses showed no associations between intake of vitamin K₁ and BMD of the femoral neck or lumbar spine. Neither did BMD differ between those 5% that had the highest vitamin K₁ intake and those 5% that had the lowest. During the 10-years of follow-up, 360 subjects sustained a fracture (cases). In a comparison between the cases and 1,440 controls, logistic regression analyses revealed no difference in vitamin K₁ intake between cases and controls.Conclusion In a group of perimenopausal and early postmenopausal women, vitamin K₁ intake was not associated with effects on BMD or fracture risk.     

Prevalence and risk factors of distal radius and calcaneus bone mineral density in Korean population

To estimate the prevalence and the related risk factors of low bone mineral density of the calcaneus and the distal radius, a community-based study was conducted in three rural areas of Korea. A total of 1420 women and 732 men aged 40 years and older participated in this study. Information on sociodemographic characteristics and the potential risk factors for osteoporosis were collected by an interviewer-administered standardized questionnaire. Bone mineral density (BMD) of the calcaneus and the distal radius were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Three hundred and seventeen women and 183 men aged 20–29 years who participated in a regular health check-up were used as a reference population. Osteoporosis was defined using WHO criteria. Odds ratios of the risk factors of osteoporosis were calculated by the unconditional logistic regression model. The standardized prevalence of osteoporosis of the calcaneus was 8.4% for males and 27.3% for females using the Korean population of year 2000 as a standard population. The standardized prevalence of osteoporosis of the distal radius was 4.2% for males and 18.8% for females. Older age and lower body mass index (BMI) were related with low BMD in both the calcaneus and distal radius in males and females. The duration after menopause and the number of live births were an independent risk factor for osteoporosis of the calcaneus (OR=1.1, 95% CI=1.00–1.11; the duration after menopause; OR=2.0, 95% CI=1.20–3.35, the number of live birth) and a familial history of non-traumatic fractures or osteoporosis among the first-degree relatives was significantly related to a increased risk of osteoporosis of the distal radius in females (OR=2.9, 95% CI=1.36–6.31).     

Risk factors for fractures of the distal forearm: A population-based case-control study

To evaluate the risk factors for early osteoporosis in consecutive patients with fracture of the distal forearm, a population-based case-control study was carried out using postal questionnaires supplemented by interviews when necessary. All men and women between the ages of 40 and 80 years who were resident in the County of Uppsala (population 265 000) and who sustained a fracture of the distal forearm during a defined 12-month period were initially included. Of 427 cases, 385 (90.2%) replied. Those with previous fragility fractures were excluded, leaving 367 patients in the study (mean age 61.9±10.6 years): 302 women (mean age 62.8±10.1 years) and 65 men (mean age 57.5±11.8 years). For each patient an age- and sex-matched control without previous fragility fractures was selected from the population register. The questionnaire concerned heredity, diseases and medications, general health, tobacco smoking and physical activity. Reproductive variables and postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy were analyzed extensively. In neither sex were any significant, consistent differences found with regard to chronic diseases, medications, physical activity or smoking. In females heredity for fractures (odds ratio, OR=1.46) was associated with an increased risk. Nulliparous women had an increased risk of forearm fractures (OR=1.72) while late menopause (OR=0.95) and postmenopausal oestrogen therapy >2 years (OR=0.44) appeared to be protective. It is concluded that lifestyle factors did not discriminate between fracture patients and controls in this strict population-based investigation, suggesting that in affluent Western societies, with their high fracture rate, most individuals have an osteoporosis-prone way of life. The finding that oestrogen deficiency in women was a substantial risk factor that was reversed by replacement therapy reinforces his first line of prevention.
