Correlates of bone quality in older persons

Abstract: Purpose of the study-In a population-based sample of older persons, we studied the relationship between tibial bone density and geometry and factors potentially affecting osteoporosis.Methods-Of the 1260 participants aged 65 years or older eligible for the InCHIANTI study, 1155 received an interview and 915 (79.2%) had complete data on tibial QCTscans and other variables used in the analysis presented here. The final study population included 807 persons (372 men and 435 women, age range 65-96 years) after exc… Show more

“…Thus, changes in bone mechanical properties may be another mechanism through which proinfl ammatory cytokines could infl uence bone fragility. A recent investigation in the InCHIANTI study examined serum concentrations of IL-6, IL-1ÎČ, and TNF-α in relation to quantitative CTderived measures of bone mechanical properties in the tibia [37]. Among this cohort of older men and women, a 1-pg/mL greater IL-1ÎČ was signifi cantly associated with a 2.9-mg/cm 3 lower trabecular volumetric BMD in women, indicating lower bone strength.…”

“…This phenomenon should be the target for interventions aimed at retarding the progression of bone loss in older adults. Future studies are needed to identify the specific effects on hormones and other factors (22) that potentially influence periosteal apposition (1) and endocortical resorption.…”

“…These factors include inflammatory factors since the age-related increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines is associated with sarcopenia (Schaap et al, 2006) and bone resorption (Lauretani et al, 2006) in older men. Nutritional factors, other than those measured herein, such as protein intake, or the intake of fatty acids for example, might also be involved in the relationship between RASM and FN BMD in adult men (Coin et al, 2008).…”
