The purpose of this study was to compare changes in bone mineral density (BMD) over a 6 month follow up (period of weight regain) in overweight, postmenopausal women having previously completed a 6 month weight loss (WL) intervention with and without aerobic exercise (AEX). Women (BMI > 25 kg/m2) underwent VO2max and DEXA scans at baseline, after 6 months of WL or AEX + WL, and at 12 months ad libitum follow up. Both groups lost ~9% body weight from 0 to 6 months and regained ~2% from 6 to 12 months, while losing ~4% of appendicular lean mass (ALM) across the 12-month study duration. VO2max increased 10% from 0 to 6 months and declined 12% from 6 to 12 months for AEX + WL, with no changes for WL. Total body (p < 0.01) and total femur (p = 0.03) BMD decreased similar between groups across time (combined groups: 0–6 months: total body: −1.2% and total femur: −1.2%; 6–12 months: total body: −0.26% and total femur: −0.09%). Less ALM loss and greater VO2max increases during the WL phase were associated with attenuated BMD loss at various anatomical sites during periods of weight regain (6–12 months) p’s < 0.05). Results suggest that BMD loss may continue following WL, despite weight regain. Further, this study adds to the literature by suggesting that preventing declines in muscle quality and function during WL may attenuate the loss of BMD during weight regain. Future studies are needed to identify mechanisms underlying WL-induced bone loss so that effective practices can be designed to minimize the loss of BMD during WL and weight maintenance in older women.

Abstract Summary In a Chinese population from both urban and rural areas, weight loss of ≥ 5 kg from early adulthood to midlife was associated with a higher risk of hip fracture and lower BMD in later life. Introduction This study investigates the association of the long-term weight loss from young adulthood through the middle ages with the subsequent 10-year risk of hospitalized fracture and calcaneus bone mineral density (BMD). Methods China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) was established during 2004–2008 in ten areas across China. Weight at age 25 years was self-reported at baseline, and weight at baseline and resurvey was measured by the calibrated equipment. Outcomes were hospitalized fracture during follow-up and calcaneus BMD measured at resurvey. Analysis for fracture risk included 411,812 participants who were free of fracture in the last 5 years before baseline, cancer, or stroke at any time before baseline. Analysis for BMD included 21,453 participants who participated in the resurvey of 2013–2014 with the same exclusion criteria as above. Results The mean age was 50.8 at baseline and 58.4 at resurvey. Median weight change from age 25 to baseline was 4.4 kg, with 20.7% losing weight and 58.5% gaining weight. During a median follow-up of 10.1 years, we documented 13,065 cases of first diagnosed fracture hospitalizations, including 1222 hip fracture. Compared with participants whose weight was stable (± 2.4 kg), the adjusted hazard ratios (95% CIs) for those with weight loss of ≥ 5.0 kg from age 25 to baseline was 1.39 (1.17 to 1.66) for hip fracture. Weight loss was not associated with fracture risk at other sites. Those with weight loss from age 25 to resurvey had the lowest BMD measures, with β (95% CIs) of − 4.52 (− 5.08 to − 3.96) for broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA), − 4.83 (− 6.98, − 2.67) for speed of sound (SOS), and − 4.36 (− 5.22, − 3.49) for stiffness index (SI). Conclusions Weight loss from early adulthood to midlife was associated with a higher risk of hip fracture and lower BMD in later life.

1. Total body areal bone mineral density was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in eight women before and 10 weeks after a very-low-calorie diet [405 kcal (1701 kJ)/day]. 2. The mean weight loss of 15.6 kg was accompanied by a statistically significant reduction in total body bone mineral density from 1.205 ± 0.056 to 1.175 ± 0.058 g/cm2 (mean ± sd, P < 0.005). 3. After cessation of the diet, weight gradually increased and by 10 months was similar to baseline values. Total body bone mineral density also increased after stopping the diet and mean values obtained 10 months after the diet did not differ significantly from initial values. Throughout the study total body bone mineral density values in all subjects were well within the range reported for normal subjects. 4. These data indicate that diet-induced weight loss is associated with rapid bone loss, subsequent weight gain being accompanied by increases in bone mass. Further studies are required to establish the clinical significance of these findings and, in particular, the skeletal distribution of bone loss.

The aims of this study were to confirm our previous finding that hormone-replacement therapy (HRT) augments exercise-induced increases in bone mineral density (BMD) in older women and to determine whether HRT preserves the adaptations when exercise is reduced or discontinued. The study included an 11-mo treatment phase and a 6-mo follow-up phase. Participants, aged 66 ± 3 yr, were assigned to control (Con; n = 10), exercise (Ex; n = 18), HRT ( n = 10), and Ex+HRT ( n = 16) groups. HRT was continued during the follow-up. After the treatment phase, changes in total body BMD were −0.5 ± 1.7, 1.5 ± 1.4, 1.2 ± 0.8, and 2.7 ± 1.2% in Con, Ex, HRT, and Ex+HRT, respectively. Ex+HRT was more effective than HRT in increasing BMD of the total body and tended ( P = 0.08) to be more effective at the lumbar spine. Ex+HRT was more effective than Ex in increasing BMD of the total body, lumbar spine, and trochanter. Exercise-induced gains in BMD were preserved during the follow-up only in those individuals on HRT. HRT also attenuated fat accumulation, particularly in the abdominal region, after the exercise program. These findings suggest that HRT is an important adjunct to exercise for the prevention not only of osteoporosis but also of diseases related to abdominal obesity.

Abstract Background Epidemiological data regarding the association between serum levels of IGF-I and bone mineral acquisition during childhood are scarce. Here, we investigated the association between serum levels of IGF-I and bone status during puberty. Methods We analyzed prospective 3-year follow-up data of 254 community-dwelling children who completed both baselines (at age 11.2 years) and follow-up (at age 14.2 years) surveys in Hamamatsu, Japan. Total body (TB) bone area and bone mineral parameters were assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results During the 3-year follow-up period, there were significant (P < 0.05) increases in total body less head (TBLH) areal bone mineral density (aBMD), TBLH bone mineral content (BMC), and TB bone area, and a significant decrease in TB bone mineral apparent density (BMAD, volumetric bone mineral density, vBMD). IGF-I levels showed significant positive relationships with TBLH BMC and TBLH aBMD at both baseline and follow-up. TBLH aBMD in boys and TB BMAD in girls at follow-up showed significant increases from the lowest to highest quartiles of baseline IGF-I levels after adjusting for confounding factors. Similarly, changes in TBLH aBMD in boys and TB BMAD in girls during the 3-year follow-up period showed significant increases from the lowest to highest quartiles of baseline IGF-I levels after adjusting for confounding factors. Conclusions These results suggest that pubertal children with high levels of serum IGF-I tended to have high bone mineral acquisition later on.

Abstract Background and Aims Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH; MIM #241530) is an autosomal recessive renal phosphate-wasting disorder caused by mutations in the SLC34A3/NPT2c gene. HHRH characterized by increased urinary phosphate excretion leading to hypophosphatemic rickets, short stature and elevated serum 1,25(OH)2D levels which result in hypercalciuria leads to nephrocalcinosis/urolithiasis due to enhanced intestinal calcium absorption and reduced PTH-dependent calcium reabsorption in the distal renal tubules. Treatment of HHRH involves administration of oral phosphate supplements alone to normalize of serum phosphate, alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP), PTH levels, urine calcium excretion for prevention of renal calcifications and progression of rickets. Currently there is no consensus on the optimal dose of oral phosphate in patients with HHRH. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of oral phosphate supplements in Russian cohort of children with HHRH. Method 9 children (7M/2F) with homozygous (n=6) and compound heterozygous (n=3) SLC34A3 mutations from unrelated families were examined. Treatment with oral phosphate supplements was started at the median age of patients 12.0 (IQR: 9.0; 13.0) years. The median dosage of oral phosphate supplements was 14.1 (IQR: 13.8; 14.8) mg/kg/day based on elemental phosphorus. The duration of follow-up was 36.0 (IQR: 16; 49) months. Blood electrolytes levels, ALP, PTH and 24-hour-urine excretion of calcium were evaluated in all children. ALP Z-scores were calculated using age- and sex-specific mean/standard deviation (SD) lab reference data. Bone mineral density with Z-score were measured in lumbar spine and whole body for all patients using a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry device. Molecular genetic analysis was performed in all children using by next generation sequencing. Results The median SD score of height at the first and last follow-up was -1.35 (IQR: -1.8; -0.87) and -1.51 (IQR: -2.0; -0.66) (p=0.6), respectively, short stature had 33.3% (3/9) of patients at first and 44.4% (4/9) at last follow-up (p=0.7). Treatment with low doses of oral phosphate supplements did not led to normalization of serum phosphorus:1.05 (IQR: 0.97; 1.39) vs. 0.93 (IQR: 0.81; 1.27) mmol/l (p=0.13), PTH: 8.3 (IQR: 5.8; 13.8) vs. 12.9 (IQR: 12.0; 16.0) pg/ml (p=0.34), Z-score in lumbar spine: -1.2 (IQR: -2.7; -0.1) vs. -1.8 (IQR: -2.8; -1.1) (p=0.48) and Z-score in total body: -2.1 (IQR -2.6; -1.5) vs. -2.4 (IQR: -3.0; -2.0) (p=0.37). Hypercalciuria had 88.8% (8/9) of children (0.15 (IQR: 0.12; 0.19) mmol/kg/day) at first follow-up and 44.4% (4/9) (0.09 (IQR: 0.08; 0.16) mmol/kg/day) in last examination (p=0.13). ALP blood levels were elevated in all patients (9/9) at first and most recent visit, but ALP Z-score were significant lower at last follow-up: 3.9 (IQR: 1.2; 5.1) vs. 0.57 (IQR: -0.36; 2.1) (p=0.04). There were significant correlations between doses of oral phosphate supplements and ALP Z-score (r=-0.68; p=0.04) and total body Z-score (r=0.78; p=0.03). There was no significant correlations between ALP Z-score and total body Z-score (r=-0.3) or lumbar spine Z-score (r=-0.1). Conclusion The present study demonstrated that treatment of HHRH with low doses (&lt;20 mg/kg/day) of oral phosphorus supplements led to decreasing of ALP Z-score in 7/9 (77.8%) and hypercalciuria in 5/9 (55.6%) of patients. However, that therapy didn’t improve significantly height and severity of rickets, as well didn’t led to normalization of serum phosphorus in children with HHRH. It is therefore conceivable that higher daily doses of phosphate supplements are needed to normalize all clinical and radiological features of disease. Lack of association between ALP Z-score and bone mineral density severity on radiographs limits the value of serum ALP as the indicator of rickets activity.

This study examines the effects of weight loss by caloric restriction (WL) and aerobic exercise plus weight loss (AEx+WL) on total and regional bone mineral density (BMD) in older women. Healthy, postmenopausal women [age 63 ± 1 (SE) yr] not on hormone-replacement therapy underwent 6 mo of WL ( n = 15) consisting of dietary counseling one time per week with a caloric deficit (250–350 kcal/day) or AEx+WL ( n = 15) consisting of treadmill exercise three times per week in addition to the weight loss. Maximal aerobic capacity increased only in the AEx+WL group ( P < 0.001). Body weight, percent fat, and fat mass decreased similarly in both groups ( P < 0.005), with no changes in fat-free mass. Total body BMD (by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) decreased in both groups ( P < 0.05). Femoral neck, Ward’s triangle, and greater trochanter BMD decreased in the WL group ( P ≤ 0.05) but were not significantly different after AEx+WL. L2–L4BMD did not significantly change in either group. Thus WL and AEx+WL both result in losses of total body BMD; however, AEx+WL appears to prevent the loss in regional BMD seen with WL alone in healthy, older women. This suggests that the addition of exercise to weight-loss programs may reduce the risk for bone loss.
