Effects of ground and joint reaction force exercise on lumbar spine and femoral neck bone mineral density in postmenopausal women: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Low bone mineral density (BMD) and subsequent fractures are a major public health problem in postmenopausal women. The purpose of this study was to use the aggregate data meta-analytic approach to examine the effects of ground (for example, walking) and/or joint reaction (for example, strength training) exercise on femoral neck (FN) and lumbar spine (LS) BMD in postmenopausal women. METHODS: The a priori inclusion criteria were: (1) randomized controlled trials, (2) exercise intervention???24?weeks, (3) comparative control group, (4) postmenopausal women, (5) participants not regularly active, i.e., less than 150?minutes of moderate intensity (3.0 to 5.9 metabolic equivalents) weight bearing endurance activity per week, less than 75?minutes of vigorous intensity (> 6.0 metabolic equivalents) weight bearing endurance activity per week, resistance training < 2 times per week, (6) published and unpublished studies in any language since January 1, 1989, (7) BMD data available at the FN and/or LS. Studies were located by searching six electronic databases, cross-referencing, hand searching and expert review. Dual selection of studies and data abstraction were performed. Hedge's standardized effect size (g) was calculated for each FN and LS BMD result and pooled using random-effects models. Z-score alpha values, 95%confidence intervals (CI) and number-needed-to-treat (NNT) were calculated for pooled results. Heterogeneity was examined using Q and I2. Mixed-effects ANOVA and simple meta-regression were used to examine changes in FN and LS BMD according to selected categorical and continuous variables. Statistical significance was set at an alpha value ?0.05 and a trend at >0.05 to???0.10. RESULTS: Small, statistically significant exercise minus control group improvements were found for both FN (28?g's, 1632 participants, g?=?0.288, 95% CI?=?0.102, 0.474, p?=?0.002, Q?=?90.5, p?

Project description:Abaloparatide is a selective activator of the parathyroid hormone type 1 receptor signaling pathway that favors the stimulation of bone formation. Here, we report a prospective, exploratory analysis of bone mineral density (BMD) response rates comparing sequential abaloparatide/alendronate vs placebo/alendronate across the ACTIVE and ACTIVExtend studies. BMD was measured at the lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck from the beginning of ACTIVE to the end of ACTIVExtend (18 months of abaloparatide or placebo followed by about 1 month for re-consent, followed by 24 months of alendronate treatment for a total of 43 months). Responders were defined as those patients who had improvements in BMD at 3 anatomic sites-the lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck. Three response thresholds, >0%, >3%, and >6%, were evaluated. Five hundred fifty-eight patients in the abaloparatide/alendronate group and 581 patients in the placebo/alendronate group from ACTIVExtend were included in the analysis. At Month 43, a significantly greater proportion of those in the abaloparatide/alendronate group compared with the placebo/alendronate group responded with BMD changes from ACTIVE baseline of >0%, >3%, and >6% at all 3 anatomic sites (p < 0.001 for each comparison). At the>3% threshold, 60.7% (307/506) vs 24.0% (121/505) of patients experienced BMD increases at all 3 sites in the abaloparatide/alendronate vs placebo/alendronate groups, respectively (p < 0.001). A significantly greater proportion of the abaloparatide/alendronate group experienced BMD increases of>0%, >3%, and >6% at each individual anatomic site compared with the placebo/alendronate group at 43 months (p < 0.001). Additionally, at each visit in ACTIVExtend, there was a significantly greater proportion of patients in the abaloparatide/alendronate group above the 3% threshold at each anatomic site compared with the placebo/alendronate group. Results are consistent with the significant BMD response with abaloparatide vs placebo observed in ACTIVE and with the continued fracture risk reduction with sequential abaloparatide/alendronate compared with placebo/alendronate treatment observed in ACTIVE through ACTIVExtend.

Project description:BackgroundGenome-wide association studies (GWASs) routinely identify loci associated with risk factors for osteoporosis. However, GWASs with relatively small sample sizes still lack sufficient power to ascertain the majority of genetic variants with small to modest effect size, which may together truly influence the phenotype. The loci identified only account for a small percentage of the heritability of osteoporosis. This study aims to identify novel genetic loci associated with DXA-derived femoral neck (FNK) bone mineral density (BMD) and quantitative ultrasound of the heel calcaneus estimated BMD (eBMD), and to detect shared/causal variants for the two traits, to assess whether the SNPs or putative causal SNPs associated with eBMD were also associated with FNK-BMD.MethodsNovel loci associated with eBMD and FNK-BMD were identified by the genetic pleiotropic conditional false discovery rate (cFDR) method. Shared putative causal variants between eBMD and FNK-BMD and putative causal SNPs for each trait were identified by the colocalization method. Mendelian randomization analysis addresses the causal relationship between eBMD/FNK-BMD and fracture.ResultsWe identified 9,500 (cFDR < 9.8E-6), 137 (cFDR < 8.9E-4) and 124 SNPs associated with eBMD, FNK-BMD, and both eBMD and FNK-BMD, respectively, with 37 genomic regions where there was a SNP that influences both eBMD and FNK-BMD. Most genomic regions only contained putative causal SNPs associated with eBMD and 3 regions contained two distinct putative causal SNPs influenced both traits, respectively. We demonstrated a causal effect of FNK-BMD/eBMD on fracture.ConclusionMost of SNPs or putative causal SNPs associated with FNK-BMD were also associated with eBMD. However, most of SNPs or putative causal SNPs associated with eBMD were not associated with FNK-BMD. The novel variants we identified may help to account for the additional proportion of variance of each trait and advance our understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying osteoporotic fracture.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Nutritional factors including vitamin D, magnesium, and fat are known to affect bone mineral accrual. This study aimed to evaluate associations between dietary nutrient intakes (both macronutrients and micronutrients) and bone mineral density (BMD) in children and adolescents. METHODS:Data for this cross-sectional, population-based study were derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Participants aged from 8 to 19?years were included. The primary outcome was femoral neck BMD. RESULTS:Multivariate analyses revealed that for participants aged 8 to 11, daily sodium intake was significantly and positively associated with femoral neck BMD (B?=?0.9?×? 10-?5, p?=?0.031); in particular, subgroup analyses by sex found that in male participants aged 8-11, daily total cholesterol intake (B?=?5.3?×?10-?5, p?=?0.030) and calcium intake (B?=?-?2.0?×?10-?5, p?<?0.05) were significantly associated with femoral neck BMD in a positive and negative manner, respectively, but neither were observed in female participants of this age group. In contrast, daily intakes of vitamin D and magnesium were significantly and positively associated with femoral neck BMD in female participants aged 8-11 (B?=?246.8?×?10-?5 and 16.3?×?10-?5, p?=?0.017 and 0.033, respectively). For participants aged 16 to 19, daily total fat intake was significantly and negatively associated with femoral neck BMD (B?=?-?58?×?10-?5, p?=?0.048); further stratification by sex found that magnesium and sodium intakes were significantly and positively associated with femoral neck BMD only in females of this age group (B?=?26.9?×?10-?5 and 2.1?×?10-?5, respectively; both p?<?0.05). However, no significant associations between daily nutrient intakes and femoral neck BMD were identified in participants aged 12-15 before or after subgroup stratification. CONCLUSION:The study found that associations of specific nutrition-related variables with BMD of the femoral neck is dependent upon age and gender.
