COPD: osteoporosis and sarcopenia

Abstract: Systemic involvement and comorbidities are common in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They add to the burden of disease and are associated with significant disability and mortality. These include cardiovascular disease, mood disorders, anemia, cachexia, skeletal muscle dysfunction and bone pathology. In this article, we review the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of two such comorbidities, osteoporosis and sarcopenia, as they relate to patients with COPD.

“…COPD itself is an independent risk factor for osteoporosis, and increases the likelihood of osteoporosis by an odds ratio of 2.6–2.83 [ 4 , 14 ] compared to age matched control subjects. Existing data points to the inflammatory milieu in COPD as the main factors that promotes imbalances in normal bone homeostasis, ultimately leading to osteoporosis: elevated levels of receptor activator of nuclear-factor kappa-B (RANK) and RANK/osteoprotegerin (OPG) ratio, increased interleukin-1 (IL-1), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) [ 15 ]. Additionally, the use of inhaled corticosteroids, vitamin D deficiency, and hypogonadism seems to contribute to the increased predisposition [ 15 ].…”

“…Further, this study showed that sarcopenia is an independent risk factor of a decreased BMD regardless of bodyweight. The presence of sarcopenia seems to be additive to the baseline increased risk of osteoporosis among COPD patients [ 15 ]. The consequential effects on bones, skeletal muscle loss and dysfunction were all linked to persistent chronic inflammatory response in COPD [ 16 ].…”

“…20 The fracture risk depends on bone strength, which is determined by bone mineral density (BMD) (determined by peak bone mass and amount of bone loss) and bone quality (a function of bone architecture, turnover, damage accumulation and mineralization). 21 It is generally accepted that BMD accounts for approximately 70% of bone strength. 22 In COPD patients, bone quality is impaired (low trabecular bone score with increased cortical porosity) and is associated with low bone turnover.…”

“…Comorbid conditions that hinder wound healing and skin health are common among COPD patients, including malnutrition, decreased physical activity and systemic inflammation. [10][11][12] Additionally, it should be noted that certain medications employed in the management of COPD, specifically corticosteroids, have potential to compromise the integrity of the epidermis and impede the healing of wounds. 13 The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of double bronchodilators in conjunction with triple inhalation therapy on minor lesion healing and skin integrity in patients with stable COPD.…”
