BackgroundOxidative stress has been implicated as a fundamental mechanism in the decline of bone mass. Although serum uric acid (SUA) has potent antioxidant properties, the findings of many epidemiological and experimental studies couldn’t draw a clear conclusion on the relation between SUA and bone health. We aim to investigate the association between SUA and bone mineral density (BMD) at different skeletal sites among healthy Qataris.MethodologyA cross-sectional analysis including total-body and site-specific bone mineral density scores and other serological markers of 2981 healthy Qatari adults (36.4 ± 11.1 years) from the Qatar biobank database was conducted. The study participants were divided into quartiles based on the level of SUA, and the BMD was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Multiple regression analyses were applied to investigate the association between SUA and BMD adjusting for multiple confounding factors.ResultsHigh levels of SUA were significantly associated with the increased bone mineral density of the total body and at site-specific skeletal locations after adjusting for age and gender (p-value < 0.001). Further adjustment for body mass index (BMI), smoking, vitamin D, alkaline phosphatase, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) levels attenuated the association but the association remained significant for individuals with high SUA levels (p-value ≤ 0.01).The association between SUA and BMD was not significant in non-obese, females, young adults, and smokers. However, no interaction was found between SUA and age, gender, BMI and smoking.ConclusionHigher SUA levels are associated with a high bone density among healthy Qatari adults. However, such observation demands further investigations to outline the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract Context: Peak bone mass is an important factor in the lifetime risk of developing osteoporosis. Large, longitudinal studies investigating the age of attainment of site-specific peak bone mass are lacking. Objective and Main Outcome Measures: The main outcome measures were to determine the site-specific development of peak bone mass in appendicular and axial skeletal sites and in the trabecular and cortical bone compartments, using both dual x-ray absorptiometry and peripheral computed tomography. Design, Setting, and Population: In total, 833 men [aged 24.1 ± 0.6 yr (mean ± sd)] from the original population-based Gothenburg Osteoporosis and Obesity Determinants Study (n = 1068) were included in this follow-up examination at 61.2 ± 2.3 months. Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) was measured with dual x-ray absorptiometry, whereas cortical and trabecular volumetric bone mineral density and bone size were measured by peripheral computed tomography at baseline and at the 5-yr follow-up. Results: During the 5-yr study period, aBMD of the total body, lumbar spine, and radius increased by 3.4, 4.2, and 7.8%, respectively, whereas a decrease in aBMD of the total hip of 1.9% was observed (P < 0.0001). Increments of 2.1 and 0.7% were seen for cortical volumetric bone mineral density of the radius and tibia, respectively (P < 0.0001), whereas cortical thickness increased by 3.8% at the radius and 6.5% at the tibia due to diminished endosteal circumference (radius 2.3% and tibia 4.6%, P < 0.0001). Conclusion: aBMD decreased at the hip but increased at the spine and radius, in which the increment was explained by continued mineralization and augmented cortical thickness due to endosteal contraction in men between ages 19 and 24 yr.
