Peak bone mass between 25 and 35. Bones thicken Bones are at their strongest From 35 to menopause bone mass slowly declines. Gradually your body starts to lose more bone than it makes. Bone development
What is Osteoporosis? “….a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture”
Risk factors for osteoporosis: • Age • Low Oestrogen • Women are at a greater risk than men, • Thin or have a small frame • White or Asian race • Women who are postmenopausal, including those who have had early or surgically induced menopause • Cigarette smoking, • Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia, low amounts of calcium in the diet, • Heavy alcohol consumption, • Inactive lifestyle, • Certain medications, e.g. corticosteroids and anticonvulsants • Rheumatoid arthritis itself is a risk factor for osteoporosis. • Family History
Fracture Risk and Bone Quality • Bone quality may be defined as the ability of bone to resist fracture • Changes in the rate of bone turnover can affect mineralization, microarchitecture, and bone mass • Changes in key properties of bone can lead to alterations in bone strength and the ability of bone to resist fractures • The primary goal in treating osteoporosis should be fracture prevention Adapted from Osteoporosis Prevention, Diagnosis, and Therapy.

Bone Turnover • Bone turnover (remodeling) is a continuous process of bone resorption followed by bone formation • Measured noninvasively by assessing biochemical markers of bone remodeling e.g. ALP • Higher bone turnover has been shown to be linked to increased rates of bone loss and increased risk of fracture • Patients with higher* bone turnover were 4.1 times more likely to suffer a fracture • Greater decreases in bone turnover are associated with lower risk of fracture** CTx=C-telopeptide of type I collagen; NTx=N-telopeptide of type I collagen *In a clinical study to evaluate markers of bone turnover as predictors of hip fracture in elderly women followed for 22 months**In a meta-analysis of 18 clinical trials of antiresorptive therapy to examine the association between BMD and risk of nonvertebral fractures Adapted from Kanis JA.

Trabecular Bone Microarchitecture • Bone microarchitecture is assessed invasively to determine the bone’s structural parameters • Excessive bone resorption alters trabecular architecture and increases cortical porosity • By normalizing turnover, it may be possible to preserve bone microstructure and decrease cortical porosity Adapted from Thomsen JS et al Bone 2002;30(1): 267–274; Dempster DW Osteoporos Int 2002;13(5):349–352; Bell KL et al Bone 2000;27(2):297–304; Riggs BL, Melton LJ III J Bone Miner Res 2002;17(1):11–14; Boivin GY et al Bone 2000;27(5):687–694; Masarachia P et al.

Assessing Trabecular Bone Microarchitecture • Iliac crest bone biopsy is an invasive procedure used to obtain bone samples from humans • Bone biopsy samples are used for evaluating trabecular microarchitecture by 2-D and (3D) micro-CT imagery • Trabecular microarchitecture changes have not been established to be predictive of fracture risk Adapted from Thomsen JS et al Bone 2002;30(1):267–274.
Overall Limitations of Iliac Crest Biopsy • Iliac crest is not an osteoporotic fracture site • Histomorphometric parameters vary even at contiguous sites in the iliac crest • Intersample variation of bone volume from two contiguous sites was 15.7% in one study (n=55 patients)* • Histomorphometric parameters at the iliac crest correlate poorly with those at the spine and hip *Evaluation of intersample variation for an individual and for patient groups in two contiguous transiliac crest samples in 55 patients (mean age 55 years); Adapted from Chavassieux PM et al Calcif Tissue Int 1985;37(4):345–350; Thomsen JS et al Bone 2002;30(1):267–274.

Bone turnover • The properties of bone quality are unfavorably altered by increased bone turnover. The consequences of increased bone turnover associated with osteoporosis can include: • Decreased bone mass • Decreased mineralization • Increased porosity • Disrupted architecture/trabecular connectivity • Biochemical markers are valuable tools in research investigations because they measure bone turnover. They are not commonly used in clinical practice for the treatment and management of osteoporosis.
