Background. Renal transplantation (Tx) influences bone mineral density (BMD) by several mechanisms. The main objective of this study was to correlate BMD and risk factors associated with bone loss in patients submitted to kidney Tx. Methods. We evaluated 88 individuals after renal Tx (median time = 31.5 months since Tx). All of them sustained glomerular filtration rate ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2. BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA, Prodigy-GE). Calcium, phosphate, albumin, creatinine, and intact parathormone (PTH) were measured at the same time. All statistical tests were two-sided and P value less than 0.05 were accepted as significant for all analyses in this study. Results. Serum PTH was raised in 42% patients, but corrected calcium was normal in 83 patients. No fragility fracture was reported, but the overall prevalence of osteoporosis was 27.6% and lower than expected BMD (Z-score ≤ −2.0 SD) was observed in 28.4%. Patients with lower than expected BMD had higher PTH levels. Conclusions. Older age, lower body mass index (BMI), longer time on dialysis, and elevated PTH levels were identified as the main factors associated with lower BMD.

The Mean

Introduction. Osteoporosis is a metabolic skeletal disease characterized by bone mineral density reduction, which may lead to an increased risk of bone fractures. Obesity is a condition of excessive body fat that causes or aggravates many public health problems. As it is easy to be measured, body mass index is widely used as an index of the degree of obesity. Material and Methods. The study included 1.372 female orthopedic patients between the ages of 30 to 79 years who visited the Clinical Centre of Vojvodina in Novi Sad to have a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) examination in the period from March, 2010 to June, 2013. The following anthropometric data were collected: body mass index, body weight, height, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry T-score and bone mineral density (BMD), as well as some other data. Results. The mean age was 62.08 years, the mean weight was 73.59 kg and the mean height was 1.6 m. There were 392 participants in the group of normal body mass index, 14 participants were underweight, and 966 were overweight and obese. In the overweight and obese group, 25.25% participants had osteoporosis, 35.4% had osteopenia and 39.33% had the normal T-score. In the normal body mass index group, 42.34% of the participants had osteoporosis, 29.3% had osteopenia and 28.31 had the normal T-score. In the underweight group, 57.14% of the participants had osteoporosis, 21.42% had osteopenia and 21.42% had the normal T-score. Conclusion. No strong correlation between body mass index and bone mineral density was found in our study, but it is obvious that there was a stronger correlation between body mass index and bone mineral density of the total hip than between body mass index and bone mineral density of the lumbar spine.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a good indicator for measurements of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) which measures the density of minerals present in the bones using a special scan. This study was conducted to assess the association between BMI and status of BMD among 101 individuals who underwent Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. 39 subjects had normal and 62 had low bone mineral density. BMD was low in 82.4% of people with normal BMI, 78.1% among overweight, and 44.2% among obese. There was a statistically significant association between these two variables (). Low BMD was recorded in 59.1% of females and 76.9% of males. Association between advancing age and lower BMI is an important risk factor in the occurrence of low BMD.

Objective.Although several studies have investigated the association between body mass index (BMI) and bone mineral density (BMD), the results are inconsistent. The aim of this study was to further investigate the relation between BMI, weight and BMD in an Iranian men population.Methods.A total of 230 men 50-79 years old were examined. All men underwent a standard BMD scans of hip (total hip, femoral neck, trochanter, and femoral shaft) and lumbar vertebrae (L2-L4) using a Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scan and examination of body size. Participants were categorised in two BMI group: normal weight <25.0 kg/m2and overweight and obese, BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2.Results.Compared to men with BMI ≥ 25, the age-adjusted odds ratio of osteopenia was 2.2 (95% CI 0.85, 5.93) and for osteoporosis was 4.4 (1.51, 12.87) for men with BMI < 25. It was noted that BMI and weight was associated with a high BMD, compatible with a diagnosis of osteoporosis.Conclusions.These data indicate that both BMI and weight are associated with BMD of hip and vertebrae and overweight and obesity decreased the risk for osteoporosis. The results of this study highlight the need for osteoporosis prevention strategies in elderly men as well as postmenopausal women.

Aim. To evaluate the frequency of sarcopenia (SP) according to EWGSOP2 criteria and factors associated with low lean mass in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Materials and methods. 79 women (aged 4075 years) with RA were enrolled in the study. We analyzed clinical data: age, body mass index (BMI), disease duration, methotrexate use, glucocorticoid use, anthropometric measurements, C-reactive protein level, disease activity score in 28 joints-erythrocyte sedimentation rate, bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine, femur neck, total hip and body composition by Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Also, muscle strength and functional tests were performed. We analyzed the correlation between disease parameters and low lean mass with the Spearman method. Results. 73 (92%) patients had low muscle strength, 20 (25%) patients had low muscle strength and low lean mass, among them 9 (11%) also had functional disability. There was no correlation between the age of patients and the presence of SP, while the duration of RA in women with SP was significantly greater (p=0.006). There were significant correlations between lean mass and body mass index, glucocorticoids used, methotrexate doses, creatinine and urea acid serum concentration, bone mineral density and falls number. Conclusion. According EWGSOP2 confirmed sarcopenia was found in 25% RA patients, among them 11% women had severe sarcopenia. Lean mass correlated with the factors related to the disease itself and some general clinical parameters, which requires further study.

Osteoporosis develops in women with chronic anorexia nervosa. To determine whether bone mass is reduced in younger patients as well, bone density was studied in a group of adolescent patients with anorexia nervosa. With single- and dual-photon absorptiometry, a comparison was made of bone mineral density of midradius, lumbar spine, and whole body in 18 girls (12 to 20 years of age) with anorexia nervosa and 25 healthy control subjects of comparable age. Patients had significantly lower lumbar vertebral bone density than did control subjects (0.830 ± 0.140 vs 1.054 ± 0.139 g/cm2) and significantly lower whole body bone mass (0.700 ± 0.130 vs 0.955 ± 0.130 g/cm2). Midradius bone density was not significantly reduced. Of 18 patients, 12 had bone density greater than 2 standard deviations less than normal values for age. The diagnosis of anorexia nervosa had been made less than 1 year earlier for half of these girls. Body mass index correlated significantly with bone mass in girls who were not anorexic (P &lt; .05, .005, and .0001 for lumbar, radius, and whole body, respectively). Bone mineral correlated significantly with body mass index in patients with anorexia nervosa as well. In addition, age at onset and duration of anorexia nervosa, but not calcium intake, activity level, or duration of amenorrhea correlated significantly with bone mineral density. It was concluded that important deficits of bone mass occur as a frequent and often early complication of anorexia nervosa in adolescence. Whole body is considerably more sensitive than midradius bone density as a measure of cortical bone loss in this illness. Low body mass index is an important predictor of this reduction in bone mass.
