Abstract Background Individuals with high bone mass (HBM) have a greater odds of prevalent radiographic hip osteoarthritis (OA), reflecting an association with bone-forming OA sub-phenotypes (e.g. osteophytosis, subchondral sclerosis). As the role of bone mineral density (BMD) in hip OA progression is unclear, we aimed to determine if individuals with HBM have increased incidence and/or progression of bone-forming OA sub-phenotypes. Methods We analysed an adult cohort with and without HBM (L1 and/or total hip BMD Z-score > + 3.2) with pelvic radiographs collected at baseline and 8-year follow-up. Sub-phenotypes were graded using the OARSI atlas. Superior/inferior acetabular/femoral osteophyte and medial/superior joint space narrowing (JSN) grades were summed and Δosteophyte and ΔJSN derived. Pain and functional limitations were quantified using the WOMAC questionnaire. Associations between HBM status and change in OA sub-phenotypes were determined using multivariable linear/logistic regression, adjusting for age, sex, height, total body fat mass, follow-up time and baseline sub-phenotype grade. Generalised estimating equations accounted for individual-level clustering. Results Of 136 individuals, 62% had HBM at baseline, 72% were female and mean (SD) age was 59 (10) years. HBM was positively associated with both Δosteophytes and ΔJSN (adjusted mean grade differences between individuals with and without HBM βosteophyte = 0.30 [0.01, 0.58], p = 0.019 and βJSN = 0.10 [0.01, 0.18], p = 0.019). Incident subchondral sclerosis was rare. HBM individuals had higher WOMAC hip functional limitation scores (β = 8.3 [0.7, 15.98], p = 0.032). Conclusions HBM is associated with the worsening of hip osteophytes and JSN over an average of 8 years, as well as increased hip pain and functional limitation.

Summary Urinary neopterin (Neo), a marker of T-cell activation was measured in five healthy males for a chronobiological study. Five young males mean age: 25 ± 2 (years ± SD) in apparent good health volunteered for the study. Total urine voidings were collected 4-hourly by each individual during a 48 h span at fixed clock hours. The study was carried out during 3 different 48 hours, one week apart. Neopterin was measured by HPLC and results were expressed as the ratio !lmol/mol creatinine.A statistically significant rhythm of neopterin was detected with a peak (Neo = 167.4 ± 33 .8 SD) at 06h30 and a trough (Neo = 110.9 ± 26.9) between 10h30 and 22h30. These results clearly show a 51 % total yariability of neopterin and must be kept in mind when assaying neopterin for clinical exploration. It is therefore imperative to use, in a given patient, the same time-qualified voidings (preferably the first morning one) in order to avoid misinterpretation in the follow-up of patients.

Abstract Objectives Maternal vitamin D status has gained substantial attention as a modifiable contributor to offspring musculoskeletal health, yet there is a paucity of trial-derived data to corroborate effects of prenatal or postpartum vitamin D supplementation on offspring bone mass accrual. Among maternal-infant pairs in Bangladesh, we aimed to examine the hypothesized causal association of early life vitamin D exposure with musculoskeletal health in childhood. Methods In a double-blind dose-ranging trial of maternal vitamin D3 supplementation (Maternal Vitamin D for Infant Growth Trial), healthy pregnant women (n = 1300) were recruited at 17–24 weeks’ gestation and randomly assigned to receive a prenatal; postpartum regimen of 0;0,4200;0,16,800;0,28,000;0 or 28,000;28,000 IU vitamin D3/week until 26 weeks postpartum. In a follow-up study of offspring at 4 years of age (n = 642), bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Between-group differences were assessed by independent t-tests (28,000 IU/week prenatally vs placebo) and linear regression (each vitamin D treatment group vs placebo) with bootstrapping (1000 replications). Results Whole-body (WB), total-body-less-head (TBLH) and head-only BMC were similar in the combined high-dose prenatal and placebo groups (mean difference [95% CI] = 6.81g [−8.70, 22.32], 0.61g [−10.90, 12.13] and 1.71g [−3.54, 6.96], respectively). None of the mean values for WB or TBLH BMC or BMD in each vitamin D group were different from placebo (P > 0.05 for all comparisons). Although head BMD was slightly greater in offspring of women assigned to the 28,000;28,000 IU regimen compared to placebo (mean difference [95% CI] = 0.024g/cm2 [0.0009, 0.047], P = 0.042), the effect was attenuated and no longer significant upon adjustment for child height, weight, and sex (P = 0.11). Conclusions In a population with high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, our findings do not support the use of maternal prenatal vitamin D supplementation, with or without postpartum supplementation, for improvement of child BMC or BMD at 4 years of age.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Currently, the two most common bariatric procedures are laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). Long-term data comparing the two interventions in terms of their effect on body composition and bone mass density (BMD) are scarce. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim of this study was to assess body composition and BMD at least 5 years after LSG and LRYGB. <b><i>Setting:</i></b> Department of Endocrinology and Nutrition, St. Claraspital Basel and St. Clara Research Ltd., Basel, Switzerland. <b><i>Methods:</i></b>Bariatric patients at least 5 years after surgery (LSG or LRYGB) were recruited, and body composition and BMD were measured by means of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Data from body composition before surgery were included in the analysis. Blood samples were taken for determination of plasma calcium, parathyroid hormone, vitamin D<sub>3</sub>, alkaline phosphatase, and C-terminal telopeptide, and the individual risk for osteoporotic fracture assessed by the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool score was calculated. After surgery, all patients received multivitamins, vitamin D<sub>3</sub>, and zinc. In addition, LRYGB patients were prescribed calcium. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 142 patients were included, 72 LSG and 70 LRYGB, before surgery: median body mass index 43.1, median age 45.5 years, 62.7% females. Follow-up after a median of 6.7 years. For LRYGB, the percentage total weight loss at follow-up was 26.3% and for LSG 24.1% (<i>p</i> = 0.243). LRYGB led to a slightly lower fat percentage in body composition. At follow-up, 45% of both groups had a T score at the femoral neck below –1, indicating osteopenia. No clinically relevant difference in BMD was found between the groups. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b>At 6.7 years after surgery, no difference in body composition and BMD between LRYGB and LSG was found. Deficiencies and bone loss remain an issue after both interventions and should be monitored.

Referrals for young males with drink-related offending behaviours were obtained from local courts. Following an assessment interview, young offenders completed either a talk-based Alcohol Education Course (AEC) or a behavioural AEC. At follow-up interviews, differences in dependent variables of offending and drinking behaviour were observed. The results are discussed in the context of their possible implications for practice.

Purpose: To estimate program effectiveness regarding physical activity (PA), diet, and social connectedness as part of a feasibility study. Design: Pre-post quasi-experimental. Setting: HAT TRICK was delivered in collaboration with a Canadian semi-professional ice hockey team and offered at the arena where they trained and played games. Participants: Participants (N = 62) at baseline were overweight (BMI >25kg/m2) and inactive (<150 minutes of MVPA/week) men age 35+ years. Intervention: Gender-sensitized 12-week intervention for men targeting PA, healthy eating and social connectedness. Method: Baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks) and 9-month follow-up self-report and accelerometer data were collected. Multi-level modeling assessed growth trajectories of outcome measures across time. Results: Accelerometer measured weekly/min. of moderate PA showed significant linear trends (95%CI: 42.9 – 175.3) from baseline (147.0 ± 104.6), 12-week (237.7 ± 135.5) and 9-month follow-up (204.89 ± 137.7) qualified with a quadratic trend. Self-reported weekly/min of moderate and vigorous PA showed significant linear trends (95%CI: 94.1, 264.1; 95%CI: 35.1, 109.6) from baseline (52.6 ± 83.8, 22.42 ± 44.9), 12 week (160.1 ± 157.4, 66.6 ± 74.4) and 9-month follow-up (118.6 ± 104.6, 52.2 ± 59.2) qualified with quadratic trends. DINE measured fat score rating showed linear trends over time (95%CI -14.24, -6.8), qualified with a quadratic trend. DINE fibre score and social connectedness showed no trends. Conclusion: Findings yield valuable information about the implementation of gender-sensitized lifestyle interventions for men and demonstrate the importance of male-specific strategies for reaching and engaging overweight, physically inactive men.
