However, careful consideration of study design is needed to yield reliable estimates of association. In particular, obtaining valid measurements of exposure to osteoporosis medications from real-world data (RWD) sources is complicated due to different medication classes, formulations, and routes of administration, each with different pharmacology. Extended half-lives of bisphosphonates and extended dosing of denosumab and zoledronic acid require particular attention. In addition, prescribing patterns and medication taking behavior often result in gaps in therapy, switching, and concomitant use of osteoporosis therapies. In this review, we present important considerations and provide specialized guidance for measuring osteoporosis drug exposures in RWD. First, we compare different sources of RWD used for osteoporosis drug studies and provide guidance on identifying osteoporosis medication use in these data sources. Next, we provide an overview of osteoporosis pharmacology and how it can influence decisions on exposure measurement within RWD. Finally, we present considerations for the measurement of osteoporosis medication exposure, adherence, switching, long-term exposures, and drug holidays using RWD. Ultimately, a thorough understanding of the differences in RWD sources and the pharmacology of osteoporosis medications is essential to obtain valid estimates of the relationship between osteoporosis medications and outcomes, such as fractures, but also to improve the critical appraisal of published studies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9043,"journal":{"name":"Bone Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352187223000761/pdfft?md5=17b3414fdbaced4a943e3deed4df1739&pid=1-s2.0-S2352187223000761-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138617789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mechanical load acting on a bone at the macroscopic level influences the bone cells, particularly osteocytes within the lacunae canalicular network (LCN). Osteocytes are responsive to a range of physical signals, including strain, interstitial fluid flow, and pore pressure. However, physiological tissue strain is known to be typically smaller than that required to directly induce bone formation. On the other hand, as per evidence provided by this study from the literature, models based on fluid flow alone cannot simultaneously predict bone formation at both the periosteal and endocortical surfaces. This suggests that another component of the osteocyte's mechanical environment, such as pore pressure, may play an essential role in bone adaptation, either alone or in combination with other stimuli, such as tissue strain and/or interstitial fluid flow. In vitro experiments have also confirmed that osteocytes respond to cyclic pore pressure and, thus, have a mechanism to sense the pressure, possibly because of its viscoelasticity.</p><p>In this work, dissipation energy density, being irreversible work done per unit volume, has been successfully used as a greater stimulus to incorporate all of the parameters of mechanical environments of the LCN, such as waveforms of both fluid velocity and pore pressure, number of loading cycles. Mineral Apposition Rate (MAR) has also been mathematically derived to be proportional to the square root of the dissipation energy density minus its reference value. A hypothesis is accordingly proposed and successfully tested/validated for both endocortical and periosteal surfaces with respect to an in-vivo study on mouse tibia available in the literature. The constant of proportionality and the reference/threshold value of the dissipation energy density are determined through a nonlinear curve fitting. The mathematical/computational method thus developed is then successfully used to predict MAR at both endocortical and periosteal surfaces induced by a different loading condition.</p><p>Computational implementation of the mathematical model has been done through a poroelastic finite element analysis of bone, where bone is assumed to be porous and filled with fluid, with a boundary condition that the periosteum is impermeable to the fluid and the endosteal surface maintains a reference zero pressure. This work also provides evidence for these assumptions to be true based on the state-of-the-art literature on related experimental studies. The currently developed model shows that the bone uses these conditions (assumptions) to its advantage, as the greater stimulus, i.e., the dissipation energy due to both fluid flow and pore pressure, are of a similar order at both the surfaces, and hence osteogenesis of the same order at both the surfaces.</p><p>As a bottom line, the resulting model is the first of its kind as ","PeriodicalId":9043,"journal":{"name":"Bone Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S235218722300075X/pdfft?md5=22d015378a5dffb0a713b5df03ee9c6f&pid=1-s2.0-S235218722300075X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138467814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whilst there is evidence for the benefits of these nutrients for musculoskeletal health, other aspects of the diet remain largely underexplored. For example, vegetables are rich sources of macro- and micronutrients that are essential for muscle function and bone health, which are key factors in the prevention of falls and fractures. Recent work has highlighted the importance of nutrients such as vegetable-derived nitrate and vitamin K1 in optimising muscle strength, physical function, and bone quality. In the context of dietary patterns, vegan/plant-based diets have recently gained popularity due to perceived health benefits, animal welfare, or to tackle climate change.
