The largest NIH funded study in Asia Mr Os (Hong Kong)
Risk factors for hip fracture in men • Low BMD and RF for low BMD • Previous fractures • Low body mass • Taller • Frequent falls and RF for falls
Risk factors for osteoporosis in men Causes of secondary osteoporosis • Hypogonadism • Steroid therapy • Immobilization • Alcoholism • RA • Cancer • Thyrotoxicosis
Risk factors for osteoporosis in men • Aging • Thinness • Low calcium intake • Very low protein intake • Inactivity • Decreased androgen • Decreased estrogen

Design of cohort studies Outcomes (death / disease / others) Exposure
Why do we need cohort studies? • Cross-sectional studies can only describe associations • Cohort studies can - Defined temporal relationship - Study multiple outcomes - Can be converted to RCCT
Determinants of validity of cohort studies • Sampling method • Sample size • Validity of measurements • Completeness of follow up
What is known about determinants of BMD and fractures? • Study of Osteoporotic fractures (SOF) • Dubbo study (Australia) • Rancho Bernando study • NHANES I, II, III • STORM
Sampling Method • Volunteer samples (independent walking) • Stratified by age group 65 - 69 33% 70 - 74 35% ≥ 75 31% • 2000 men and 2000 women
Questionnaire for Mr & Ms Os • General including falls (Stanford Health Assessment) • Cigarette smoking • Alcohol consumption
Questionnaire for Mr & Ms Os • Dietary intake (Block food frequency) • Medication use • Physical activity (PASE) • Mental status by MMSE • Depression by Geriatric Depression Scale
Physical examination for Mr & Ms Os • Height and Weight • BMD by DEXA (Hologic QDR 4500W) • Ankle / arm BP index • Visual function : acuity, depth • Neuromuscular : grip strength, walk speed, chair stand
Outcome measures • Fractures (History and X-Ray) • BMD • QCT
Determinants of BMD in Chinese men (Age-adjusted) • What are the physical characteristics that are associated with BMD in Chinese men?
Determinants of BMD in Chinese men (Age-adjusted) Percent difference • Weight (5 kg): +3.6
Determinants of BMD in Chinese men (Age-adjusted) • What medical factors are associated with BMD in Chinese men?
Determinants of BMD in Chinese men (Age-adjusted) • Medical Diseases associated with lower BMD: Percent difference • Chronic obstructive lung disease (-5.8) • Gastrointestinal surgery (-4.7) • Fracture after age 50 years (-5.7)
Determinants of BMD in Chinese men (Age-adjusted) • Medical Diseases associated with higher BMD: Percent difference • Hypertension (4.0) • Diabetes (6.9) • Hyperthyroidism (5.1)
Determinants of BMD in Chinese men (Age-adjusted) • Medications associated with lower BMD: Percent difference Inhaled corticosteroids (0.9%) (-12.9) Oral corticosteroids (0.6%) (-4.4) Medications associated with hiher BMD: • Thiazide diuretics (4.7)
Determinants of BMD in Chinese men (Age-adjusted) • What about lifestyle factors?
Determinants of BMD in Chinese men (Age-adjusted) • Cigarette Smoking: Percent difference Current smokers(-4.6) More than 46 packyrs(-3.1)
Determinants of BMD in Chinese men (Age-adjusted) • Physical Activity: Percent difference • PASE (0.5) • Total number of city streets per day for normal routine and exercises: 20 or above (25% of subjects) (1.8)
Determinants of BMD in Chinese men (Age-adjusted) • Dietary Factors: Percent difference • Calcium (mg) per day (50mg) (0.2) • Protein (g) per day (10g) (0.2) • Depression: • GDS score (3) (-1.4)
Multivariate model of risk factors for total hip BMD (MrOs) % Diff (95% CI) COPD -2.5 (-4.3, -0.8) GI surgery -2.8 (-4.6, -1.0) Inhaled steroid -8.3 (-14.3, -2.3) Diabetes mellitus 4.0 (2.4, 5.6) Thyroid disease 4.1 (0.2, 7.9)
