RESUMO

A better understanding of how age-related bone loss affects the fracture-prone regions of the proximal femur could lead to more informed fracture-prevention strategies. Therefore, the aim of this work was to assess the spatio-temporal distribution of bone deterioration in older men and women with aging. A subset of 305 men (74.87 ± 4.76 years; mean ± SD) and 371 age-matched women (74.84 ± 4.71 years) with no history of fracture were randomly selected from the Age, Gene/Environment Susceptibility-Reykjavik study. Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) scans of the left proximal femur obtained at baseline and at 5.2 ± 0.4 years follow-up were processed to assess local changes in volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), cortical bone thickness (Ct.Th), and internal bone structure using voxel-based morphometry (VBM), surface-based statistical parametric mapping (surf-SPM), and tensor-based morphometry (TBM). Local parametric changes within each sex and sex differences in these changes were statistically assessed using linear mixed effects models allowing for baseline and time-varying covariates, yielding Student's t-test and P-value statistical maps of the proximal femur. The statistical maps indicated regions with significant parametric changes in each sex, and with significant different parametric changes between older men and older women with aging. Older women manifested significantly larger losses in vBMD, cortical bone thickness, and structure than older men, and they did so in regions where deficiency in these parameters has been associated with incident hip fracture. Using longitudinal QCT scans of the proximal femur and Computational Anatomy, we provided new insights into the higher fracture rates of the proximal femur in older women compared with men of similar age providing new information on the pathophysiology of osteoporosis.
