Serum Parathyroid Hormone Predicts Time to Fall Independent of Vitamin D Status in a Frail Elderly Population

Abstract: Very frail older people constitute an increasing proportion of ageing populations and often have vitamin D deficiency. Falls are frequent in this population and have usually been associated with vitamin D deficiency. In this prospective study we measured serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD), serum PTH, and falls in 637 ambulatory subjects living in institutional aged care facilities (intermediate-care hostels or nursing homes). The study sample comprised 121 men (mean age, 82.1 yr) and 516 women (mean age, 86.7 y… Show more

“…Studies employing specific bone markers indicate that bone turnover continues to be increased (and to be associated with bone loss) during late menopause (28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33). In some postmenopausal women (34), but particularly in the very elderly (35)(36)(37), this increase in bone turnover is often, but not always, found to be due to vitamin D and/or calcium deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism.…”

“…Together with the fact that high bone turnover may be sustained for long periods and bone loss may increase with age (44), these findings may provide a rationale for designing more effective intervention strategies. However, other factors such as age (see above), medication (6,18,(46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51), immobilisation (32,35), thyroid function (52), co-morbidity (35) and the fracture itself (40,53,54) do influence bone metabolism and therefore need to be considered in the interpretation of biochemical data and their use in individual patients. Clearly, none of the biochemical markers of bone turnover has proven useful as a single diagnostic index of osteoporosis.…”

“…O mesmo foi observado em trabalho mais recente, também realizado por um grupo australiano (38), em que os níveis de PTH e de 25OHD foram preditores significantes para primeira queda, porém após ajustes para idade, incontinência e severidade da doença, apenas os níveis de PTH permaneceram como preditores significantes. Em células musculares de ratos, o tratamento com PTH reduziu o conteúdo de fosfato inorgânico e da cálcio-ATPpase (39), alterações estas que também ocorrem em culturas de células de animais deficientes em vitamina D. Em estudos clínicos, pacientes com hiperparatiroidismo primário apresentavam fadiga e fraqueza muscular que tiveram melhora importante após paratiroidecetomia bem sucedida (40).…”
