We detected clear Vasn expression in skeletal elements of postnatal mice.

Yet, little is known about the evolution of BMD distribution and cortical thickness with age in the proximal femur. We propose a 3D spatio-temporal atlas of the proximal femur to identify regions with high BMD losses and cortical thinning. The atlas is based on 532 post-mortem QCT scans from donors aged 20 to 94, including 179 female subjects.

The evolution of BMD and cortical thickness was computed as a multiple linear regression with age and BMI, for female and male subjects separately. The average BMD decrease with age was significant in all subregions for both sexes but higher in females. High BMD losses were observed in the superior and middle neck regions, in the medial part of the head, and in the trochanteric trabecular bone. BMD was well preserved in the inferior neck and, for males, in cortical regions. In both sexes, the cortical thickness decreased significantly in the superior and posterior neck cortex and increased significantly in the inferior neck. Higher BMI was associated with increased BMD in the inferior neck and medial shaft cortex, as well as with increased cortical thickness in all neck and shaft regions for both sexes.

After bariatric surgery, there were significantly more patients with osteoporosis: 3.6 % vs. 0.9 % (<em>p</em> = 0.0001). Multivariate analysis revealed that the risk factors for developing a bone mineral density ≤ −2 SD 2 years after bariatric surgery in patients with normal BMD before surgery were age and lower lean and fat mass before the surgery (OR = 1.07, 95%CI = [1.03–1.12], OR = 0.83, 95%CI = [0.77–0.91], OR = 1.08, 95%CI = [1.02–1.15], respectively).</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>There was a significantly higher prevalence of osteoporosis and low bone mass 2 years after bariatric surgery.
