Osteoporosis: Modern Paradigms for Last Century’s Bones

Abstract: The skeleton is a metabolically active organ undergoing continuously remodelling. With ageing and menopause the balance shifts to increased resorption, leading to a reduction in bone mineral density and disruption of bone microarchitecture. Bone mass accretion and bone metabolism are influenced by systemic hormones as well as genetic and lifestyle factors. The classic paradigm has described osteoporosis as being a “brittle bone” disease that occurs in post-menopausal, thin, Caucasian women with low calcium int… Show more

“…NCKX3 in the basolateral membrane of intestinal tissue transports calcium to the blood, thus it has a key role in calcium absorption (41). Due to this function of NCKX3, abnormal expression of NCKX3 can induce decreased calcium absorption in the duodenum and calcium reabsorption in the kidney; furthermore, it may result in hypocalcemia and osteoporosis (42). In the present study, the results demonstrated that NCKX3 mRNA levels were high in the duodenum, spleen and kidney, and low in the liver.…”

“…Postmenopausal osteoporosis affects up to 200 million women world-wide with 70% of hip fractures occurring in women 52,53 . Osteoporotic fractures can lead to chronic pain, deformity, depression, disability, and death as well as having huge economic consequences.…”

“…In the UK alone, annual hospital costs associated with hip fractures are estimated to be £1.1 billion 54 . The prevention of fractures in postmenopausal women is, therefore, a vital public health priority worldwide 52,53 .…”

“…In addition to T2D, ethnic variation in BMD and fracture risk may relate to genetic, anthropometric, and lifestyle factors [7]. Being of First Nations (Aboriginal Canadian) ethnicity was among the predictors of fracture in an age, sex and region matched case control study in Canada [8].…”
