Sarcopenic osteoporosis, sarcopenic obesity, and sarcopenic osteoporotic obesity in the Camargo cohort (Cantabria, Spain)
ConclusionOur study supports the idea that the prevalence of the mixed disorders studied is low. No significant association between osteoporosis and sarcopenia was found. Sarcopenia and obesity seem to tend to occur in different people, as if suffering from one of them hinders suffering from the other. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Efficacy of generic teriparatide and alendronate in Chinese postmenopausal women with osteoporosis: a prospective study
ConclusionsTeriparatide was not inferior to alendronate in increasing BMD at lumbar spine in Chinese postmenopausal women, and they achieved these effects through different mechanisms. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Effects of physical exercise on bone mineral density in older postmenopausal women: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionOur findings suggest that exercise training may improve bone mineral density in older PMW. This improvement is mediated by increases in the femoral neck, lumbar spine, and trochanter BMD. Further long-term studies are required to confirm these findings. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Relationship between body mass index and fracture risk at different skeletal sites: a nationwide cohort study
ConclusionLow BMI was a risk factor for all tested fractures. Obesity was a risk factor for proximal humerus fracture, but it is a protective factor for wrist fracture. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

The effectiveness of an orthogeriatric service in Ain Shams University, Egypt: a quality improvement study
ConclusionSince the orthogeriatric service began, preliminary data have been encouraging, with significant reductions in time to surgery and length of stay. This along with preoperative medical optimisation and collaborative discharge recommendations has improved overall patient outcomes even though more research is needed.

Reconsidering vitamin D optimal values based on parathyroid hormone levels in a North Algerian cohort: stratification by gender and season
ConclusionIn this study, the optimal values of 25(OH) D were defined for the first time in a North Algerian adult population. The optimal value is 25.0  ng/ml in men and 30.0 ng/ml in women. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Risk factors of refracture after a fragility fracture in elderly
ConclusionFemale and older age were risk factors of subsequent fragility fracture. Older age resulted in shorter time to the second fracture. Refracture prevention program should be initiated in patients with any type of first fragility fracture and should be continued for at least 3 –4 years.

Patients undergoing surgical treatment for low-energy distal radius fractures are more likely to receive a referral and participate in a fracture liaison service program
ConclusionsPatients who undergo surgical treatment of a low-energy DRF are more likely to be referred and participate in a FLS program. Further study is needed to identify why surgical treatment may affect referral and participation rates. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Trends in osteoporosis diagnosis and management in Australia
ConclusionAvailable data indicates that osteoporosis screening rates changed over time from 2001 to 2018 and that changes to government policy had a significant effect on the rates at which screening was performed. Over the same timeframe, there was a sustained reduction in hip fracture hospitalisation rates, with no change to reported osteoporosis prevalence. This suggests that policy changes permitting unlimited access to BMD measurement were associated with a reduction in osteoporotic fractures, but may also have been associated with overutilisation. Prospective studies to assess the efficacy of specific policies to ens...

Prevalence and treatment of fragility fractures in Spanish primary care: PREFRAOS study
ConclusionPrevalence of FF was high, especially in women. One-third of subjects lacked OP diagnosis and ≥ 50% were not receiving OP treatment; diagnosis and treatment gaps were larger among men. This reinforces the need to improve the management of FF in the elderly population. However, as PC centers participating in this study had high OP experience that have the potential to do better in terms of diagnosis and treatment, caution in the generalization of these data should be taken.

Medical management patterns in a US commercial claims database following a nontraumatic fracture in postmenopausal women
ConclusionOur findings provide an overview of post-fracture management patterns using real-world data. OP was remarkably underdiagnosed and undertreated following the initial fracture. Nontraumatic fracture, particularly HF, resulted in substantial ongoing clinical burden. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

The association between coronary artery disease and osteoporosis: a population-based longitudinal study in Taiwan
ConclusionsA positive association exists between CAD and development of subsequent osteoporotic fracture and OP. Patients with CAD have a significantly increased risk of developing vertebral compression fracture and a higher incident rate ratio of OP.Trial registrationIRB approval number: No. C108094 on February 19, 2020.

An updated hip fracture incidence rate for Brazil: the Brazilian Validation Osteoporosis Study (BRAVOS)
ConclusionsHip fracture mainly affects elderly women and presents great variability in incidence between the different regions in Brazil. The incidence of hip fractures in Brazil differed markedly from that reported previously, so that national guidelines and the FRAX model for Brazil should be revised.

Is it time to consider population screening for fracture risk in postmenopausal women? A position paper from the International Osteoporosis Foundation Epidemiology/Quality of Life Working Group
ConclusionThe report concludes that evidence supports the proposal that screening for high fracture risk in primary care should strongly be considered for incorporation into many health care systems to reduce the burden of fractures, particularly hip fractures. The key remaining hurdles to overcome are engagement with primary care healthcare professionals, and the implementation of systems that facilitate and maintain the screening program.
