- In this large population-based matched cohort study, patients with primary aldosteronism were at increased risk of hip fracture, particularly subgroups traditionally considered at higher risk of osteoporosis such as women, patients older than 56 years at diagnosis, patients with established cardiovascular disease at diagnosis, and patients treated with MRA. Purpose Previous studies suggest that primary aldosteronism (PA) is associated with dysregulated bone homeostasis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of hip fractures in patients with PA. Methods We studied a nationwide cohort of 2419 patients with PA (1997-2019) and 24 187 age and sex matched controls from the general population. Hip fractures were identified by ICD codes in the Swedish National Patient Register. We estimated hazard ratios (HRs) for incident hip fractures, adjusted for prior fractures, socioeconomic factors, diabetes, osteoporosis, hyperparathyroidism, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Pairwise subgroup comparisons were performed by age (18-56 and > 56 years), sex, CVD at baseline, and treatment for PA. Results During a mean follow up of 8 +/- 5 years, 64 (2.6%) patients had a hip fracture after being diagnosed with PA, compared to 401 (1.7%) controls. After adjustments, PA was associated with a 55% increased risk of hip fracture compared to controls (HR 1.55 [1.18-2.03]). HRs were increased in women (HR 1.76 [95% CI 1.24-2.52]), patients aged > 56 years (HR 1.62 [95% CI 1.21-2.17]), and patients with CVD at diagnosis (HR 2.15 [95% CI 1.37-3.37]). PA patients treated with adrenalectomy did not have higher risk than controls (HR 0.84 [95% CI 0.35-2.0]), while patients treated with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) retained a greater risk (HR 1.84 [95% CI 1.20-2.83]). Conclusion PA is associated with increased hip fracture risk, especially in women, patients diagnosed after the age of 56 years and patients with established CVD at diagnosis. Also, patients treated with MRA seem to have an increased risk of hip fractures, while adrenalectomy may be protective.

- Primary aldosteronism (PA) is associated with increased mortality. The extent to which this phenomenon is affected by sex, age, comorbidities at diagnosis, and different treatment modalities is largely unknown. The objective was to determine all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a population-based cohort of patients with PA and the impact of age at diagnosis, sex, comorbidities, and treatment modalities.We used national registers to identify patients diagnosed with PA between 1997 and 2019 (n=2419) and controls (n=24187) from the general population, matched for sex, age, and county of residence. We obtained mortality data from the Cause-of-Death Register. We used Cox regression models, adjusted for socioeconomic factors and diabetes, to estimate adjusted hazard ratios (HRs [95% CI]).Overall, 346 (14.3%) patients with PA and 2736 (11.3%) controls died during a median follow-up time of 8.1 years. PA was associated with increased risk from all-cause mortality (HR, 1.23 [95% CI, 1.10-1.38]), death from cardiovascular disease (HR, 1.57 [95% CI, 1.30-1.89]), and stroke (HR, 1.85 [95% CI, 1.16-2.93]). Patients with cardiovascular disease at diagnosis (HR, 1.53 [1.26-1.85]), age >56 years (HR, 1.28 [95% CI, 1.13-1.45]), patients treated with a low dose of a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (HR, 1.30 [95% CI, 1.02-1.66]), and untreated patients (HR, 2.51 [95% CI, 1.72-3.67]) had excess mortality.Mortality, mainly due to cardiovascular disease, is increased in patients with PA compared with controls from the general population, particularly in patients aged >56 years, patients with preexisting cardiovascular comorbidities, and patients receiving low dose of a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist.

- Risk factors for hip fracture were studied in 7,495 randomly selected men during 30 years; 451 men had a hip fracture. High degree of leisure-time, but not work-related, physical activity, high occupational class, and high body mass index (BMI) protected against hip fracture. Smoking, tall stature, interim stroke, and dementia increased the risk. PURPOSE: The purpose was to prospectively study risk factors for hip fracture in men. METHODS: We studied midlife determinants of future hip fractures in 7,495 randomly selected men aged 46-56 years in Gothenburg, Sweden. The subjects were investigated in 1970-1973 and followed for over 30 years. Questionnaires were used regarding lifestyle factors, psychological stress, occupational class, and previous myocardial infarction, stroke, and diabetes mellitus. Alcohol problems were assessed with the aid of registers. Using the Swedish hospital discharge register, data were collected on intercurrent stroke and dementia diagnoses and on first hip fractures (X-ray-verified). RESULTS: Four hundred fifty-one men (6%) had a hip fracture. Age, tall stature, low occupational class, tobacco smoking, alcoholic intemperance, and interim stroke or dementia were independently associated with the risk of hip fracture. There were inverse associations with leisure-time physical activity, BMI, and coffee consumption. The gradient of risk for one standard deviation of multivariable risk decreased with time since measurement yet was a good alternative to dual energy X-ray absorptiometry measurements. CONCLUSIONS: High degree of leisure-time physical activity, high occupational class, and high BMI protected against hip fracture. However, work-related physical activity was not protective. Smoking, tall stature, and interim stroke or dementia increased the risk.
