The role of body composition and visceral fat in osteoporosis subtype differentiation: Insights from bioelectrical impedance analysis
Background
Recent studies have demonstrated a close link between body composition and the development and progression of osteoporosis. Visceral fat, in particular, appears to influence bone loss through its pro-inflammatory properties. However, it remains unclear whether this mechanism is equally relevant across different forms of osteoporosis.
Objective
To investigate whether body composition—especially visceral fat— differs between postmenopausal and senile osteoporosis.
Participants and setting
A total of 47 patients were prospectively enrolled. The senile osteoporosis group included patients aged ≥80 years (n = 20, mean age 87.4), the postmenopausal osteoporosis group included patients aged ≤75 years (n = 14, mean age 68.8), and the control group consisted of patients aged ≤75 years (n = 13, mean age 68.8) without osteoporotic fractures or other osteoporosis-specific risk factors.
Methods
Participants underwent bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to assess body composition. Additional assessments included basic osteological laboratory testing, geriatric evaluation, sarcopenia screening (SARC-F), and frailty screening using the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS).
Results
Muscle mass, total body water, fat-free mass, and BMI were significantly reduced in the senile osteoporosis group compared to controls. Similar trends were observed in the postmenopausal group, though without statistical significance. Notably, the senile osteoporosis group had a significantly higher proportion of visceral fat relative to total fat mass than both the control and postmenopausal groups.
Conclusion
Patients with senile and postmenopausal osteoporosis exhibit distinct differences in body composition compared to individuals without osteoporosis. In particular, the strong association between visceral fat and senile osteoporosis highlights a potential role for BIA in early risk detection and the development of tailored therapeutic strategies.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Orthopaedics aims to be a leading journal in orthopaedics and contribute towards the improvement of quality of orthopedic health care. The journal publishes original research work and review articles related to different aspects of orthopaedics including Arthroplasty, Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, Trauma, Spine and Spinal deformities, Pediatric orthopaedics, limb reconstruction procedures, hand surgery, and orthopaedic oncology. It also publishes articles on continuing education, health-related information, case reports and letters to the editor. It is requested to note that the journal has an international readership and all submissions should be aimed at specifying something about the setting in which the work was conducted. Authors must also provide any specific reasons for the research and also provide an elaborate description of the results.
