हड्डियों का स्वास्थ्य और ऑस्टियोपोरोसिस

This is the clinical evidence summary written for health professionals. It is technical, and it lists the research this page was built from. You do not need to read it to understand your treatment or to make a decision about it.

Overview¶

• A bone density-based aging model approach may facilitate and support the development of precision medicine strategies in osteoporosis prevention and management [1].
• Investigators must select an osteoporotic fracture model that best reflects the clinical problem being studied and the underlying pathophysiology of the osteoporosis in the target patient group [2].
• Current online health information on osteoporosis often fails to meet basic standards of evidence-based health information, highlighting the urgent need to improve quality to support informed decision-making [3].
• Each 1-unit increase in body mass index was associated with a 9% reduction in osteoporosis risk based on a dose-response analysis of nine studies [4].
• Sequential anabolic-to-anti-resorptive therapy may inform treatment guidelines for high-risk postmenopausal populations [5].
• There is no perfect model for osteoporosis, but a variety of models are appropriate for answering specific questions [6].
• There is evidence of a care gap between the occurrence of a fragility fracture and the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis in Canada [7].
• A nomogram with an online dynamic calculator could facilitate the early prediction, diagnosis, and treatment of osteoporosis, contributing to the bone health of the elderly population and promoting the development of public health [10].
• Patients with osteoporosis may experience a higher incidence of medical complications within the 90-day global period than nonosteoporotic patients following rotator cuff repair [12].
• Overall rates of complication were low and osteoporosis should not be considered a contraindication to arthroscopic rotator cuff repair [18].

How It Works¶

• A randomized controlled trial on the timing optimization of teriparatide dosing is expected to provide insights into optimizing administration timing, potentially guiding personalized dosing strategies to enhance bone formation and reduce fracture risk in osteoporosis [8].
• The book "Radiology of Osteoporosis" summarises the thoroughly researched topic of osteoporosis in a scientific approach [9].
• Data showed no relationship between decreased bone mineral density and 2-year clinical outcomes following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, despite previous literature showing the negative effect of osteoporosis on rotator cuff healing [11].
• Recent research progress on natural traditional Chinese medicine products provides a theoretical and experimental basis for the development of new drugs and the improvement of osteoporosis management [13].
• Current evidence suggests that the efficacy of acupuncture in improving the symptoms of primary osteoporosis is encouraging for its use in clinical practice as a physical intervention [14].
• Macrophage polarization-related genes with potential causal roles in osteoporosis identified via multi-omics Mendelian randomization are exploratory and hypothesis-generating findings that require validation in bone marrow-specific and functional studies [21].
• The gut microbiota–metabolite–bone network may be involved in the skeletal effects of leptin, providing novel mechanistic insights and potential therapeutic strategies for osteoporosis management [22].
• MiR-137 promotes TLR4/NF-κB pathway activity through targeting KDM4A, which inhibits osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and aggravates osteoporosis [23].
• There is some promising experimental and clinical evidence for possible enhancement of the bone repair process via administration of systemic agents [24].
• In humans, de novo use of bisphosphonate therapy after fracture does not appear to have a significant effect on fracture healing [25].
• Although bone quality may be diminished in the elderly, this does not influence the occurrence of nonunion [26].

What the Evidence Shows¶

Risk Factors and Prediction¶

• Each 1-unit increase in BMI was associated with a 9% reduction in osteoporosis risk based on a dose–response analysis of nine studies [4].
• A nomogram with an online dynamic calculator developed based on NHANES data could facilitate the early prediction, diagnosis, and treatment of osteoporosis [10].
• A SuperLearner approach was successfully developed and validated as a fracture risk prediction model for patients newly diagnosed with osteoporosis based on routine blood test markers [29].
• Mendelian randomization results show varying associations between diabetes and BMD across different sites and methods, with significant associations found for T2D on femoral neck and total body BMD, and HbA1c on heel BMD [30].
• Machine learning application to hand radiographs represents a possible step toward more accessible, cost-effective, automated diagnosis and earlier treatment of osteoporosis/osteopenia [17].

Diagnosis and Information Quality¶

Treatment and Management¶

• Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that treatment of osteoporosis in patients with fragility fractures can reduce the risk of subsequent fractures by up to 50% and mortality rates by up to 30% [16].
• A randomized controlled trial on teriparatide dosing timing is expected to provide insights into optimizing administration to enhance bone formation and reduce fracture risk in osteoporosis [8].
• Intranasal salmon calcitonin is less effective than bisphosphonates and modern anabolic agents for increasing BMD and reducing fracture risk, and its use is best reserved for patients who cannot take first-line therapies due to contraindications, intolerance, or personal preference [19].
• The current evidence suggests that the efficacy of acupuncture in improving the symptoms of primary osteoporosis is encouraging for its use in clinical practice as a physical intervention [14].
• Natural traditional Chinese medicine products provide a theoretical and experimental basis for the development of new drugs and the improvement of osteoporosis management [13].
• Key recommendations for people with osteoporosis include undertaking resistance and impact exercise to maximise bone strength, activities to improve strength and balance to reduce falls, and spinal extension exercise to improve posture and potentially reduce risk of falls and vertebral fractures [20].
• Findings from a retrospective cross-sectional study on long-term hospitalized patients with muscular dystrophy may help inform strategies for osteoporotic treatment and nutritional care in this patient population [15].

Surgical Outcomes and Complications¶

• Continuous bone cement and standardized treatment for osteoporosis were guarantees of good clinical outcomes for percutaneous vertebroplasty, and injected bone cement >5.5 ml might be a guarantee [28].
• Patients who received PTH (1–84) injections accelerated radiographic and clinical fracture healing (7.8 weeks) when compared to patients who received no treatment (12.6 weeks) [27].
