Low-Dose Hydrochlorothiazide and Preservation of Bone Mineral Density in Older Adults

Abstract: In healthy older adults, low-dose hydrochlorothiazide preserves bone mineral density at the hip and spine. The modest effects observed over 3 years, if accumulated over 10 to 20 years, may explain the one-third reduction in risk for hip fracture associated with thiazide in many epidemiologic studies.

“…Several prospective studies in older adults have shown that thiazide use is associated with reduced hip fracture incidence (35) and increased BMD (36,37). Similarly, one study has shown increased vertebral and femoral neck BMD in osteopenic women treated with potassium citrate compared with controls (38).…”

“…Na falta de resposta compensatória, a hipercalciúria predispõe ao balanço negativo de cálcio e aumento da atividade osteoclástica e remodelação óssea. Por outro lado, estudos demonstraram que o controle da hipercalciúria, com o uso de diuréticos tiazídicos, reduz a perda óssea, podendo até recuperar a massa óssea em mulheres e homens com osteoporose (8)(9)(10). Vários protocolos recomendam que na investigação dos pacientes com osteoporose deva ser incluída, entre outros exames, a calciúria de 24 horas.…”

“…66,67 They are the only medications for which we found some published reports of use in people with SCI, with possibly promising results. [68][69][70] Thiazide diuretics were shown to slow down cortical bone loss in healthy postmenopausal women 71 and in healthy older adults 72 but with modest effects overall, 71,72 somewhat stronger in women. 72 A new bone formation enhancing drug, recombinant human parathyroid hormone, which has recently been approved in the USA and Europe, has been shown to increase bone mass and reduce incidence of both vertebral and nonvertebral fractures.…”

[73][74][75] In an effort to achieve stronger therapeutic effects, combination treatments for osteoporosis are beginning to be explored, and while it seems that combinations of some antiresorptive treatments may have synergistic effect, 76 optimal ways of combining them with bone formation stimulating drugs without reducing the anabolic effect of the latter are yet to be found.…”
