“…Given the increased prevalence of osteoporosis-related fracture in men, there is a need to develop methods to increase knowledge and awareness. 233 Observational findings suggest weight-bearing physical activity may influence bone strength due to favorable geometric adaptation, independent of changes in BMD. Overall, young healthy individuals with “average” baseline bone mass are unlikely to display notable changes in parameters of bone strength.…”

Osteoporosis is a bone disorder with remarkable changes in bone biologic material and consequent bone structural distraction, affecting millions of people around the world from different ethnic groups. Bone fragility is the worse outcome of the disease, which needs long term therapy and medical management, especially in the elderly. Many involved genes including environmental factors have been introduced as the disease risk factors so far, of which genes should be considered as effective early diagnosis biomarkers, especially for the individuals from high-risk families. In this review, a number of important criteria involved in osteoporosis are addressed and discussed.

ObjectiveIn numerous observational studies, there has been an indication that educational attainment (EA) can impact the intensity of pain and disability resulting from chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Nonetheless, the association observed in these studies is not entirely conclusive. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic causal relationship between educational attainment and 12 musculoskeletal disorders using Mendelian randomization (MR).MethodsThe meta‐analysis of genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) identified 3952 single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with educational attainment (EA) from the Social Science Genetic Association Consortium (SSGAC). Genetic data for 12 musculoskeletal disorders, including osteonecrosis, osteoporosis, osteomyelitis, low back pain, gout, spinal stenosis, rheumatoid arthritis, meniscus derangement, rotator cuff syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, cervicobrachial syndrome, and lateral epicondylitis, were obtained from the FinnGen consortium. We conducted a two‐sample Mendelian randomization analysis to examine the causal effect of EA on the risk of these musculoskeletal disorders using the TwoSampleMR package in R.ResultsBased on the inverse‐variance weighted (IVW) method, we found that a genetically predicted per standard deviation (SD) increase in EA was inversely associated with low back pain [odds ratio (OR) 0.46, 95% confidence interval (Cl) 0.51–0.61, p < 0.001], spinal stenosis (OR 0.62, 95% Cl 0.54–0.71, p < 0.001), rheumatoid arthritis (OR 0.65, 95% Cl 0.55–0.76, p < 0.001), meniscus derangement (OR 0.73, 95% Cl 0.65–0.82, p < 0.001), rotator cuff syndrome (OR 0.55, 95% Cl 0.49–0.61, p < 0.001), cervicobrachial syndrome (OR 0.50, 95% Cl 0.42–0.60, p < 0.001), and lateral epicondylitis (OR 0.30, 95% Cl 0.24–0.37, p < 0.001). There was no causal association between EA and osteonecrosis (OR 1.11, 95% CI 0.76–1.72, p = 0.60), osteoporosis (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.65–1.27, p = 0.59), or osteomyelitis (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.75–1.01, p = 0.22). Genetic predisposition to EA had a suggestive causal association with gout (OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.68–0.95, p = 0.01) and ankylosing spondylitis (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.45–0.91, p = 0.01) after Bonferroni correction. None of the analyses revealed any horizontal pleiotropy or heterogeneity.ConclusionIn our investigation, we have uncovered evidence supporting a causal relationship between low level of EA and the incidence of certain musculoskeletal disorders. In the future, it is imperative to ascertain risk factors such as lifestyle patterns linked with EA to uncover the underlying causal relationship and offer informed interventions for individuals.

“…5 Slične studije u svetu su, za razliku od naših prilika, veoma brojne i uključile su raznovrsne subpopulacije stanovništva kao što su adolescenti i osobe mladjeg uzrasta, žene i muškarce srednje životne dobi kao i zdravstvene profesionalce -lekare i medicinske sestre. [6][7][8][9] Zato je cilj ove studije bio da korišćenjem validnog instrumenta procene kod žena u postmenopauzi ustanovi stepen znanja o značaju, merama prevencije i terapiji osteporoze u našoj sredini. Imajući u vidu oskudnost podataka iz domaćih istraživanja, očekuje se da će rezultati biti od koristi radi pouzdanijeg planiranja odgovarajućih mera u oblasti preventivne zdravstvene zaštite.…”

Cilj. Procenat žena obolelih od osteoporoze iz godine u godinu se povećava i s tim u vezi cilj rada bio je da se proceni znanje žena u postmenopauzi o osteoporozi i faktorima rizika, kako bi se sprovele adekvatne preventivne mere. Metode. Istraživanje je sprovedeno kao studija preseka, po metodologiji ankete, u Domu zdravlja u Kragujevcu, tokom 2017. i 2018. godine. U studiju su bile uključene žene posle menopauze, starosti preko 50 godina, nezavisno od toga da li boluju od osteoporoze ili ne. Procena znanja vršena je na osnovu OKAT-S (Osteoporosis Knowledge Assessment Tool-Shorter Version) upitnika. Prikupljeni su sledeći podaci o faktorima rizika za osteoporozu: starost, početak i trajanje menopauze, upotreba cigareta, životni stil, redovno izlaganje sunčevoj svetlosti, korišćenje suplemenata vitamina D ili kalcijuma. Podaci su analizirani korišćenjem deskriptivne statistike i testiranjem hipoteze, pri p≤0.05. Rezultati. Ukupno 200 ispitanica, prosečne dobi od 63,6 godina (standardna devijacija 8,5) odgovorilo je na upitnik. Dve ispitanice su tačno odgovorile na sva pitanja, dok 26 ispitanica nije tačno odgovorilo ni na jedno postavljeno pitanje. Nivo njihovog znanja (prema tačnim odgovorima) varirao je od 24.0% do 80.0% ispravnih odgovora. Kod ispitanica u studiji upotreba suplementata vitamina D (32%-da, 68%-ne) i suplemenata kalcijuma (30%-da, 70%-ne) je bila mala, dok je dnevno izlaganje sunčevim zracima (minimum 15 minuta dnevno) bilo zadovoljavajuće (92%-da, 8%-ne). Zaključak. Znanje žena u postmenopauzi o osteoporozi je vrlo oskudno što zahteva planiranje i sprovođenje odgovarajućih mera edukacije.
