Low holotranscobalamin and cobalamins predict incident fractures in elderly men: the MrOS Sweden

Abstract: We present novel data showing that low levels of holoTC and cobalamins predicting incident fracture in elderly men. This association remained after adjustment for BMI, BMD, tHcy, and cystatin C. However, any causal relationship between low cobalamin status and fractures should be explored in a prospective treatment study.

“…Plasma total osteocalcin (carboxylated and uncarboxylated) was analysed using thawed frozen samples, with human monoclonal osteocalcin antibodies targeting the N‐terminal amino acids 1–43 and 1–49, and detected by electrochemiluminescence (Elecsys N‐MID Osteocalcin Cal‐Set; Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN, USA). Methods to analyse the concentrations of fasting serum insulin, fasting plasma glucose, serum leptin, adiponectin, P1NP, PTH, 25OHD, cystatin C, iron, transferrin, ferritin, total oestradiol, total testosterone, HDL cholesterol, holotranscobalamin (holo‐TC) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) and the plasma level of EPO have been described previously . Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was analysed according to routine laboratory methods.…”

“…It has been suggested that diabetes may lead to falls by leading to diabetes-related visual impairment and peripheral neuropathy (27). In our study, DN4 scores were similar between both groups, Med J West Black Sea 2023;7(2): 202-210 peripheral neuropathy and poor locomotor function, therefore leading to falls (31). While Lewerin et al reported a weak association between vitamin B12 and physical performance, another study did not find a relationship between vitamin B12 and falls (31,32).…”

“…Low serum B12 levels affect DNA synthesis, an important factor for bone remodeling. Vitamin B12 (and other B vitamins—B2, B6 and folate—linked to homocysteine metabolism) is regarded an essential factor for bone health [ 117 , 152 , 153 , 154 , 155 , 156 , 157 , 158 , 159 , 160 , 161 ]. Vitamin B12 deficiency was reported to have an increased fracture risk: 1.7- to [ 162 ] 1.9-fold [ 163 ] for hip fracture, 1.8-fold for vertebral fracture [ 163 ] and 2.9-fold for distal forearm fracture [ 163 ].…”
