    • Vitamin D supplements have been used to prevent fractures. The effect may be mediated through increased bone mass, but also through reduced falling propensity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels (25OHD), fall-associated variables (including tests of functional performance), and fracture in ambulatory women. At baseline 25OHD was measured in 986 women. Fall-associated variables were investigated at baseline. Fractures were recorded during a 3-year follow-up. Four percent of the women had 25OHD levels below 20 ng/ml (50 nmol/l), and 26% had 25OHD levels below 30 ng/ml (75 nmol/l). 25OHD correlated with gait speed (r =0.17, P <0.001), the Romberg balance test (r =0.14, P <0.001), self-estimated activity level (r =0.15, P <0.001), and thigh muscle strength (r =0.08, P =0.02). During the 3-year follow-up, 119 out of the 986 women sustained at least one fracture. The Cox proportional hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval) for sustaining a fracture during the follow-up was 2.04 (1.04-4.04) for the group of women with 25OHD below 20 ng/ml, in which 9 out of 43 women sustained a fracture. Thirty-two of the 256 women with 25OHD levels below 30 ng/ml sustained a fracture during the follow-up, with a non-significant HR of 1.07 (1.07-1.61). This cohort of elderly, ambulatory women had a high mean 25OHD. A low 25OHD was associated with inferior physical activity level, gait speed and balance. A 25OHD level below 30 ng/ml was not associated with an increased risk of fractures in this study. However, a subgroup of women with 25OHD levels below 20 ng/ml had a tendency to an increased risk of fractures, which may be associated with an inferior physical activity and postural stability.

  • Effects of cigarette-smoking on bone mass as assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and ultrasound.
  • 2002

    • In order to elucidate the influence of nicotine smoking on bone mass in elderly women, bone mass was cross-sectionally assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in total body, hip and lumbar spine, as well as with ultrasound of calcaneus and phalanges of the hand. Subjects were 1,042, 75-year old women, recruited on a population basis (Osteoporosis Prospective Risk Assessment (OPRA) study). We found bone mineral density (BMD) to be lower in hip (0.71 vs. 0.76 g/cm2, p<0.0001 for femoral neck) and total body (0.96 vs. 1.02 g/cm2, p<0.0001) in current smokers compared to never-smokers. There was no difference in BMD of the lumbar spine between current smokers and never-smokers. Bone mass as assessed by ultrasound of the calcaneus was lower for speed of sound (p<0.01), broadband ultrasound attenuation (p<0.0001) and stiffness (p<0.0001) in current smokers than in never-smokers. No differences were found for ultrasound measurements of the phalanges between smokers and never-smokers. Also, weight and current physical activity as assessed by a questionnaire differed significantly between current smokers and never-smokers. There was no evident difference between former smokers and never-smokers in any of the skeletal regions assessed by DXA or ultrasound. After correcting for differences in weight and physical activity, current smokers had lower BMD in all hip sites (p<0.05) and total body (p<0.01) compared to never-smokers. Ultrasound and BMD spine did not differ between these two groups after correction for weight and physical activity. We conclude that nicotine smoking has a negative influence on bone mass independent of differences in weight and physical activity. This difference is detected by DXA but not by ultrasound measurements of the calcaneus or the phalanges. The present data are encouraging since no bone mass differences were found between former and never-smokers.

    • The association between baseline levels of eleven bone turnover markers and 5-year rate of bone density change was prospectively studied in a population-based sample of 601 75-year-old women. Several bone formation and resorption markers as well as urinary osteocalcin were modestly correlated to rate of bone density change. Introduction Prediction of bone loss by bone turnover markers (BTMs) has been investigated with conflicting results. There is limited information in the elderly. Methods Eleven bone turnover markers were analyzed in 75year old women in the OPRA study (n= 601) and compared to the 5-year change of areal bone mineral density (aBMD) in seven skeletal regions. Results Annual aBMD change varied between +0.4% ( spine) and -2.0% ( femoral neck). Significant associations (p < 0.01) were found for four different serum osteocalcins (S-OCs) ( standardized regression coefficient -0.20 to -0.22), urinary deoxypyridinoline (-0.19), serum TRACP5b (-0.19), serum CTX- I (-0.21), two of the three urinary osteocalcins (U-OCs) (-0.16) and aBMD change of the leg region ( derived from the total body measurement). After adjustment for baseline aBMD, associations were found for all S-OCs (-0.11 to -0.16), two of the three U-OCs (-0.14 to -0.16) and aBMD change at the total hip, and for three of the four S-OCs (-0.14 to -0.15), S-TRACP5b (-0.11), two of the three U-OCs (-0.14 to -0.15) and aBMD change at the femoral neck. There were no significant results concerning aBMD change at the spine. Conclusion This study indicates that BTMs are correlated with aBMD loss in some skeletal regions in elderly women.

  • Interleukin-6 promoter polymorphism is associated with bone quality assessed by calcaneus ultrasound and previous fractures in a cohort of 75-year-old women.

    • Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine and a potent stimulator of bone resorption and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. The aim of this study was to investigate if a functional IL-6 promoter polymorphism (-174) was related to bone mass and fractures in a cohort consisting of 964 postmenopausal Caucasian women aged 75 years. Bone mineral density (BMD; g/cm2) of the femoral neck, lumbar spine and total body was measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) was also measured in the calcaneus and quantified as speed of sound (SOS; m/s), broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA; dB/MHz), and stiffness index (SI). IL-6 genotypes was determined by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) using the restriction enzyme NlaIII. The frequencies of the different IL-6 genotypes were 27.5% (GG), 47.9% (GC), 24.6% (CC). The IL-6 polymorphism (presence of G) was independently related to a lower stiffness (beta=-0.07; P=0.03) and BUA (beta=-0.08; P=0.02), but not to BMD at any site measured by DXA. In the cohort, 420 subjects (44%) reported at least one fracture during their lifetime, and 349 (36%) reported at least one fracture after the age of 50. Using binary logistic regression, the IL-6 polymorphism (presence of G) was significantly related to an increased risk of a previous fracture during life (odds ratio 1.46, 95% CI 1.08-1.97) and to an increased risk of a fracture occurring after 50 years of age (odds ratio 1.37, 95% CI 1.004-1.88). The risk was further increased for fractures grouped as osteoporotic fractures (odds ratio 1.67, 95% CI 1.14-2.45), including forearm fractures (odds ratio 1.59, 95% CI 1.05-2.40). In conclusion, presence of G allele in the IL-6 promoter polymorphism at position -174 is independently related to previous fractures in postmenopausal women. This association may be related primarily to an altered bone quality identified by QUS and not a lower bone mass. This is also the first demonstration of association of IL-6 gene polymorphism to calcaneal QUS.

    • Associations between bone turnover markers and calcaneal ultrasound (quantitative ultrasound, QUS) were studied in a population-based sample of 810 elderly women. Baseline bone turnover markers correlated with baseline QUS as well as with 5-year prospective changes in QUS. INTRODUCTION: Bone turnover markers are associated with areal bone mineral density, but the knowledge on the association with QUS is limited. METHODS: Eight hundred ten women, all 75 years old, were investigated at baseline. Five hundred six completed a 5-year follow-up. Bone turnover markers and calcaneal QUS [speed of sound (SoS), broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA), stiffness] were investigated at baseline. QUS was investigated at follow-up. RESULTS: All bone turnover markers were correlated with baseline QUS [standardized regression (Beta(std)) values from -0.07, p < 0.05 to -0.23, p < 0.001], with the exception of bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (S-Bone ALP) which was not correlated with BUA and stiffness index. When the correlations between baseline bone turnover markers and 5-year changes in QUS were analyzed, three serum osteocalcins were correlated with changes of SoS and stiffness index (Beta(std) = -0.11, p < 0.05 to -0.17, p < 0.001). Also S-CTX-I correlated with changes of SoS and stiffness index (Beta(std) = -0.10 and -0.09, respectively, p < 0.05). S-TRACP5b, urinary deoxypyridinoline/crea, and U-MidOC/crea correlated with changes of SoS (Beta(std) = -0.10 and p < 0.05 for all). S-Bone ALP did not correlate with change of QUS. None of the bone turnover markers correlated with changes of BUA. CONCLUSIONS: Bone turnover markers correlate with concomitantly assessed QUS as well as with longitudinal change in QUS.

  • Degenerative changes at the lumbar spine-implications for bone mineral density measurement in elderly women.
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Osteoporosis International. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1433-2965 .- 0937-941X. ; 24:4, s. 1419-1428

    • Degenerative changes of the lumbar spine may lead to misinterpretation of bone mineral density (BMD) measurements and cause underdiagnosis of osteoporosis. This longitudinal study of 1,044 women, 75 years at inclusion and followed for 10 years, shows that identification of apparent degenerative changes on the dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan can increase the proportion diagnosed. INTRODUCTION: In the elderly, degenerative manifestations in the lumbar spine may result in falsely elevated BMD values, consequently missing a large proportion of those with osteoporosis. Our aim was to determine the distribution and impact of degenerative changes on lumbar spine DXA over time and its clinical implications. METHODS: Participants were 1,044 women from the population-based Osteoporosis Risk Assessment cohort. All women were 75 years old at invitation and followed up after 5 years (n = 715) and 10 years (n = 382). Degenerative changes were evaluated visually on the DXA image for each vertebra L1 to L4 (intraobserver precision kappa values of 0.66-0.70). RESULTS: At baseline, apparent degenerative changes were more frequent in the inferior segments of the lumbar spine [5 % (L1), 15 % (L2), 26 % (L3), and 36 % (L4)] and increased over time. At 10 years, the prevalences were 20 % (L1), 39 % (L2), 59 % (L3), 72 % (L4), resulting in a significant increase in overall BMD. In women without apparent degenerative changes, BMD remained stable between 75 and 85 rather than an expected bone loss. At baseline, 37 % had osteoporosis (BMD < -2.5) at L1-L4; exclusion of women with apparent degenerative changes increased this proportion to 47 %. Using L1-L2, which was less prone to degenerative changes, 46 % of women were classified as osteoporotic regardless of degenerative changes. CONCLUSION: Degenerative changes were very common in elderly women, accelerated disproportionately over time, were increasingly frequent from vertebrae L1 to L4, and had significant impact on diagnosing osteoporosis. This suggests that routine reporting of spine BMD at L1-L2 would add valuable information for reassessment and monitoring.
