OSTEOPOROSIS Presented by Dr Rahul Roy Dr Ram Mohan Maj Guarav Datta Moderator: Col J Muthukrishnan , SM Professor, (Medicine & Endocrinologist)
OUTLINE Definition Epidemiology Pathophysiology Causes Clinical features Diagnosis Treatment
OSTEOPOROSIS Osteoporosis : S keletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength predisposing to an increased risk of fracture. Normal Bone Osteoporotic Bone
OSTEOPOROSIS WHO definition: Bone density that falls 2.5 standard deviations (SD) below the mean for young healthy adults of the same sex Also referred to as a T-score of –2.5
T-score A comparison of a patient's BMD to that of a healthy young adult (20 years) of the same sex and ethnicity. Normal T-score of -1.0 or higher Z-score A comparison of a patient's BMD to that of a healthy adult of the same age, sex and ethnicity. Used in premenopausal women, men under the age of 50 and in children .

EPIDEMIOLOGY O steoporosis comes second to cardiovascular disease as a global health problem Worldwide Lifetime risk for osteoporotic fractures Females - 30-50% Males - 15-30%. 1.6 million hip fractures each year worldwide, the incidence to increase to 6.3 million by 2050 Hip fractures 20 % mortality at one year International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF)
EPIDEMIOLOGY India - One of the largest affected countries in the world . 1 out of 3 females 1 out of 8 males High incidence of Hip # among men (men : women =1) lower age of peak incidence (50 – 60 years) compared to Western countries ( 70 – 80 years ). International Osteoporosis Foundation
Background The most common fractures in the elderly osteoporotic patient include: Hip Fractures Femoral neck fractures Intertrochanteric fractures Subtrochanteric fractures Ankle fractures Proximal humerus fracture Distal radius fractures Vertebral compression fractures Image courtesy of International Osteoporosis Foundation
B one density is only one risk factor for fracture . Instead of treating the T score identified by DXA scans , aim is to reduce an individual’s risk of future fracture. This change in emphasis has been enabled by the development of fracture risk assessment tools (FRAX). The FRAX ® tool has been developed by WHO to evaluate fracture risk of patients. ASSESSMENT OF FRACTURE RISK
The FRAX ® tool
AGE T-Score = -1.0 T-Score = -2.5 50 6 % 11 % 60 8 % 16 % 70 12 % 23 % 80 13 % 26 % RISK OF FRACTURES OVER 10 YEARS IN WOMEN ABSOLUTE FRACTURE RISK IN 10 YEARS: low: <10% moderate: 10-20% high: >20%
Peak bone mass Skeletal mass increases from approximately 70 to 95 g at birth to 2400 to 3300 g in young individual 25% of PBM is acquired during the 2-year period across the adolescent growth spurt Factors affecting PBM Hereditary factors Ethnicity Nutritional Physical activity
Pathophysiology There are three major pathogenetic reasons for low bone mass. Failure to achieve optimal peak bone mass. Increased bone resorption in osteoporotic patients. Inadequate bone formation.
Bone Mass Age (years) Attainment of Peak Bone Mass Consolidation Age-related Bone Loss Men Women Menopause 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 Fracture Threshold Compston JE. Clin Endocrinol 1990; 33:653–682. Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology In childhood bone formation exceeds resorption -continued skeletal growth. Normal bone loss- 0.7 per cent per year. Menopause : 2-5 per cent per year, which may continue for up to 10 years Level of peak bone mass achieved at puberty is a major determinant
SECONDARY CAUSES OF OSTEOPOROSIS – DRUGS Aluminum (in antacids) Anticoagulants (heparin) Anticonvulsants Aromatase inhibitors Barbiturates Chemotherapeutic drugs Cyclosporine A & tacrolimus Depomedroxyprogesterone Glucocorticoids GNRH antagonists and agonists Lithium Methotrexate Proton pump inhibitors SSRI`s Tamoxifen ( premenopausal use ) Thiazolidinediones Thyroid hormones ( in excess ) Parenteral nutrition

CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
Diagnosis Radiographic measurement of bone density Lab biomarkers Bone biopsy with pathological assessment
Bone density Single photon absorptiometry Dual photon absorptiometry Dual X ray absorptiometry Qauntitative CT Quantitative USG
Indications for Bone Density test 1.All postmenopausal women <65 yr who have one or more additional risk factors for osteoporosis, besides menopause. 2.All women >65 yr regardless of additional risk factors. 3.Documenting reduced bone density in a patient with a vertebral abnormality or osteopenia on a radiograph. 4.Estrogen-deficient women at risk for low bone density 5. Estrogen replacement therapy for prolonged periods to monitor efficacy of a therapeutic intervention. 6.Diagnosing low bone mass in glucocorticoid-treated individuals(Prednisolone at 7.5mg daily for 6m.)
7. patients with asymptomatic primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism 8.Previous low trauma fragility # 9.Premature menopause <45y. 10.Prolonged secondary amenorrhoea (>1.y.) 11.Primary or secondary hypogonadism 13.A meternal h/o hip #
Markers of bone formation Osteocalcin (OC) Bone specific alkaline phosphatase (bone ALP) Procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) Procollagen type 1 C-terminal propeptide (P1CP)
Bone resorption markers Pyridinoline (PYR) Deoxy pyridinoline (DPD) N- telopeptides of type 1 collagen (NTX) C- telopeptides of type 1 collagen (CTX) Pyridinolines are measured in urine Telopeptides can be measured in both serum and urine
WHOM TO TREAT Women with a previous hip or vertebral fracture, fragility fracture T score of −2.5 or less at the hip, lumbar spine, or femoral neck, T score between −1.0 and −2.5 and a 10-yr probability of hip fracture >3% or of major osteoporotic fracture >20% In presence of risk factors, If FRAX score exceeds age-specific criteria National Osteoporosis Guideline Group

Calcium and Vitamin D Inadequate calcium intake in adults older than 70 years of age is associated with increased bone loss and increased risk of fracture Observational studies suggest that bone loss and fracture risk increase when calcium intake is below 700 to 800 mg per day. Combining Vitamin D and calcium supplementation has been shown to increase bone mineral density and reduce the risk of fracture.

RECENT ADVANCES - DRUGS
Odanacatib — cathepsin K inhibitors . In phase 1 studies, odanacatib at an oral dose of 50 - 100 mg once a week reduced serum levels of the bone resorption marker C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) by 62%. Daily administration of odanacatib (10 mg) reduced serum CTX by 81%. 64 After 24 months, odanacatib (50 g)increased BMD of the lumbar spine and total hip by 5.7% and 4.1% compared to placebo, Adverse reactions :scleroderma-like cutaneous lesions were not observed . Currently, a phase 3 study is being conducted with over 16,000 postmenopausal women to assess the antifracture efficacy of odanacatib . Odanacatib
Saracatinib : Src kinase inhibitor Dose-dependent decrease in serum C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen levels and urinary N-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen. Bone formation markers were similar to placebo . Adverse reactions: papular rash and loose stools SARACATINIB (AZD0530)
Calcilytic agents (MK-5442)— Calcilytics represent a new class of bone-forming agents . Act as antagonists of the CaSR and mimic hypocalcaemia, thus evoking a short pulse of PTH secretion . Calcilytics are administered orally and obviate the need for injections as opposed to PTH therapy. Narrow therapeutic index. These compounds led to sustained PTH secretion and findings that were reminiscent of primary hyperparathyroidism, a catabolic bone disease. Anabolic therapies
Wnt-dependent nuclear accumulation of β-catenin is a major trigger of osteoblastic differentiation and bone formation. The endogenous inhibitors of Wnt signalling, sclerostin and Dkk-1 present potential therapeutic targets to enhance osteoblastic bone formation and are under clinical investigation.
