RESUMEN
Osteoporosis in men is an underappreciated public health issue, accounting for approximately 30% of the societal burden of osteoporosis. Although the prevalence of osteoporosis in men is lower, fracture-related morbidity and mortality rates exceed those of women. Abaloparatide is a synthetic, 34-amino acid peptide with homology to human parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP), which favors bone formation by selective activation of PTH receptor type 1. In the Abaloparatide for the Treatment of Men With Osteoporosis (ATOM; NCT03512262) trial, 228 men with primary or hypogonadism-associated osteoporosis were randomized to receive subcutaneous injections of abaloparatide 80 µg or placebo. Abaloparatide significantly improved LS, TH, and FN BMD when compared with placebo. In this prespecified analysis, the proportion of men with a percent change from baseline of >0%, >3%, and > 6% in BMD at the LS, TH, and FN at 3, 6, and 12 mo and/or a shift in T-score category (based on LS and TH T-scores) at 12 mo was compared between the abaloparatide and placebo groups in ATOM. There were significantly more men with a BMD gain of >3% at all 3 anatomical sites in the abaloparatide than placebo group at month 6 (18/122 [14.8%] vs 1/70 [1.4%], P = .002) and at month 12 (38/119 [31.9%] vs 1/66 [1.5%], P < .0001). At month 3, more men treated with abaloparatide than placebo had a > 3% BMD increase at the LS (82/134 [61.2%] vs 21/68 [30.9%], P < .0001). A greater proportion of men treated with abaloparatide had an improvement in T-score category from osteoporosis to low BMD or normal when compared with placebo. In conclusion, use of abaloparatide compared with placebo for 12 mo resulted in significant and rapid improvements in BMD in men with osteoporosis from the ATOM study.
RESUMEN
Bone histomorphometric endpoints in transilial biopsies may be associated with an increased risk of atypical femoral fracture (AFF) in patients with osteoporosis who take antiresorptives, including bisphosphonates (BPs). One way to test this hypothesis is to evaluate bone histomorphometric endpoints in age-, gender-, and treatment time-matched patients who either had AFF or did not have AFF. In this study, we performed transiliac bone biopsies in 52 White postmenopausal women with (n = 20) and without (n = 32) AFFs, all of whom had been treated for osteoporosis continuously with alendronate for 4-17 yr. Despite the matched range of treatment duration (4-17 yr), AFF patients received alendronate for significantly longer time (10.7 yr) than non-AFF patients (8.0 yr) (P = .014). Bone histomorphometric endpoints reflecting microstructure and turnover were assessed in cancellous, intracortical, and endocortical envelopes from transilial biopsy specimens obtained from BP-treated patients 3-6 mo after AFF and from non-AFF patients with similar age-, gender-, and range of BP treatment duration. However, in both cancellous and intracortical envelopes, AFF patients had significantly lower wall thickness (W.Th) and higher osteoclast surface (Oc.S/BS) than non-AFF patients. In addition, AFF patients had significantly higher eroded surface (ES/BS) only in the intracortical envelope. None of the dynamic variables related to bone formation and turnover differed significantly between the groups. In conclusion, in the ilium of BP-treated patients with osteoporosis, AFF patients have lower thickness of superficial bone (lower W.Th) of the cancellous and cortical envelopes than non-AFF patients. AFF and non-AFF patients have a similar bone turnover rate in the ilium. Furthermore, in this population, as in previous work, AFF is more likely to occur in BP-treated patients with longer treatment duration.
Bisphosphonates (BPs) are widely used to prevent osteoporotic fracture and treat osteoporosis. However, prolonged use of BPs may increase the risk of atypical femoral fracture (AFF), and their pathogenesis remains unclear. This study compared the bone histomorphometric findings in cancellous and cortical bones between White osteoporotic women with (n = 20) and without AFF (n = 32), who had received BP treatment for a matched duration of 417 yr. The BP-treated patients with AFF had significantly lower wall thickness (W.Th) in both cancellous and cortical bones compared to BP-treated patients without AFF. There were no significant differences in bone formation, turnover, or mineral apposition rate between BP-treated AFF and non-AFF patients. In conclusion, our study results suggest that AFF risk is increased in BP-treated patients with smaller young and healthy superficial bone areas (indicated by lower W.Th). Surprisingly, we also discovered that patients with and without AFF have similar bone turnover rates, which contradicts previous beliefs. Our findings provide valuable insights into the potential factors contributing to AFF in BP-treated patients.

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard method for measuring bone mineral density (BMD) which is most strongly associated with fracture risk. BMD is therefore the basis for the World Health Organization's densitometric definition of osteoporosis. The International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) promotes best densitometry practices and its official positions reflect critical review of current evidence by domain experts. This document reports new official positions regarding follow-up DXA examinations based on a systematic review of literature published through December 2022. Adoption of official positions requires consensus agreement from an expert panel following a modified RAND protocol. Unless explicitly altered by the new position statements, prior ISCD official positions remain in force. This update reflects increased consideration of the clinical context prompting repeat examination. Follow-up DXA should be performed with pre-defined objectives when the results would have an impact on patient management. Testing intervals should be individualized according to the patient's age, sex, fracture risk and treatment history. Incident fractures and therapeutic approach are key considerations. Appropriately ordered and interpreted follow-up DXA examinations support diagnostic and therapeutic decision making, thereby contributing to excellent clinical care. Future research should address the complementary roles of clinical findings, imaging and laboratory testing to guide management.

AIMS: Evaluate changes in circulating biomarkers as predictors of kidney disease, and cardiac/vascular dysfunction in participants from the Treatment Options for type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) study. METHODS: Candidate biomarkers were assessed annually in 507 participants over a mean follow-up of 6.9 ± 2.4 years. Moderate albuminuria was defined as urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥ 30 mg/g and hyperfiltration as eGFR ≥ 135 mL/min/1.73 m2 at two consecutive visits. Echocardiography (n = 256) and pulse wave velocity (n = 193) were evaluated twice, 5 years apart. Adjusted Cox proportional hazard models and logistic regression models were used to examine associations between biomarkers and outcomes. RESULTS: At baseline, 35.7% were male, with a mean age 13.9 years, diabetes duration 7.8 months, and HbA1c 6.0%. Higher concentrations of E-selectin and proinsulin were associated with incident moderate albuminuria and hyperfiltration. Higher concentrations of FGF-23 were associated with lower risk of hyperfiltration and negatively correlated with eGFR. No candidate biomarkers predicted a decline in cardiac or vascular function. CONCLUSIONS: Circulating biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction and markers of ß-cell dysfunction and insulin sensitivity could be used in a more personalized risk assessment of kidney disease in youth-onset type 2 diabetes. However, biomarkers studied have limited value in predicting cardiac dysfunction or vascular stiffness.

AIMS: Youth-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) confers a high risk of early adverse cardiovascular morbidity. We describe the cumulative incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors over time and examine relationships with diabetes progression in young adults with youth-onset T2D from the Treatment Options for type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) study. METHODS: Longitudinal data was used to evaluate the relationships between hypertension, LDL-C dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and smoking with risk factors in 677 participants. RESULTS: Baseline mean age was 14 ± 2 years and mean follow-up 10.2 ± 4.5 years. The 14-year cumulative incidence of hypertension, LDL-C dyslipidemia, and hypertriglyceridemia was 59%, 33%, and 37% respectively. Average prevalence of reported smoking was 23%. Male sex, non-Hispanic white race/ethnicity, obesity, poor glycemic control, lower insulin sensitivity, and reduced beta-cell function were significantly associated with an unfavorable risk profile. At end of follow-up, 54% had ≥2 cardiovascular risk factors in addition to T2D. CONCLUSIONS: Cardiovascular risk factor incidence and prevalence was high over a decade of follow-up in young adults with youth-onset T2D. Glucose control and management of cardiovascular risk factors is critical in youth with T2D for prevention of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

The Endocrine Society recognizes racism as a root cause of the health disparities that affect racial/ethnic minority communities in the United States and throughout the world. In this policy perspective, we review the sources and impact of racism on endocrine health disparities and propose interventions aimed at promoting an equitable, diverse, and just healthcare system. Racism in the healthcare system perpetuates health disparities through unequal access and quality of health services, inadequate representation of health professionals from racial/ethnic minority groups, and the propagation of the erroneous belief that socially constructed racial/ethnic groups constitute genetically and biologically distinct populations. Unequal care, particularly for common endocrine diseases such as diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, and thyroid disease, results in high morbidity and mortality for individuals from racial/ethnic minority groups, leading to a high socioeconomic burden on minority communities and all members of our society. As health professionals, researchers, educators, and leaders, we have a responsibility to take action to eradicate racism from the healthcare system. Achieving this goal would result in high-quality health care services that are accessible to all, diverse workforces that are representative of the communities we serve, inclusive and equitable workplaces and educational settings that foster collaborative teamwork, and research systems that ensure that scientific advancements benefit all members of our society. The Endocrine Society will continue to prioritize and invest resources in a multifaceted approach to eradicate racism, focused on educating and engaging current and future health professionals, teachers, researchers, policy makers, and leaders.

Accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGE) in bone alters collagen structure and function. Fluorescent AGEs are associated with fractures but less is known regarding non-fluorescent AGEs. We examined associations of carboxy-methyl-lysine (CML), with incident clinical and prevalent vertebral fractures by type 2 diabetes (T2D) status, in the Health, Aging, and Body Composition cohort of older adults. Incident clinical fractures and baseline vertebral fractures were assessed. Cox regression was used to analyze the associations between serum CML and clinical fracture incidence, and logistic regression for vertebral fracture prevalence. At baseline, mean ± standard deviation (SD) age was 73.7 ± 2.8 and 73.6 ± 2.9 years in T2D (n = 712) and non-diabetes (n = 2332), respectively. Baseline CML levels were higher in T2D than non-diabetes (893 ± 332 versus 771 ± 270 ng/mL, p < 0.0001). In multivariate models, greater CML was associated with higher risk of incident clinical fracture in T2D (hazard ratio [HR] 1.49; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.24-1.79 per 1-SD increase in log CML) but not in non-diabetes (HR 1.03; 95% CI, 0.94-1.13; p for interaction = 0.001). This association was independent of bone mineral density (BMD), glycated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1c), weight, weight loss, smoking, cystatin-C, and medication use. CML was not significantly associated with the odds of prevalent vertebral fractures in either group. In conclusion, higher CML levels are associated with increased risk of incident clinical fractures in T2D, independent of BMD. These results implicate CML in the pathogenesis of bone fragility in diabetes. © 2021 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

CONTEXT: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is an inherited skeletal disorder that can lead to lifelong deleterious musculoskeletal and functional consequences. Although often perceived as a childhood condition, children and adults both experience the negative effects of XLH. Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) benefit from effective health care transition (HCT) preparation to support the transfer from pediatric- to adult-focused care. Whereas transition timelines, milestones, and educational tools exist for some chronic conditions, they do not meet the unique needs of patients with XLH. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: To produce the first expert recommendations on HCT preparation for AYAs with XLH developed by clinical care investigators and transition experts, a formal literature search was conducted and discussed in an advisory board meeting in July 2020. A modified Delphi method was used to refine expert opinion and facilitate a consensus position. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: We identified the need for psychosocial and access-related resources for disease education, genetic counseling, family planning, and AYA emancipation from caregiver-directed care. Additionally, we recognized that it is necessary to facilitate communication with patients through channels familiar and accessible to AYAs and teach patients to advocate for their health care/access to specialists. CONCLUSION: Clear HCT preparation guidelines and treatment-related goals are defined. Individualized timelines and practical strategies for HCT preparation are proposed to optimize health outcomes resulting from continuous clinical care throughout the patient lifecycle. We provide an expert consensus statement describing a tailored HCT preparation program specifically for AYAs with XLH to aid in the effective transfer from pediatric- to adult-focused health care.

Cushing's disease (CD) is the most common cause of endogenous cortisol excess. We discuss the case of a 60-year-old woman with recurrent venous thromboembolism, refractory hypokalemia, and lumbar vertebrae compression fractures with a rapidly progressive disease course. Ectopic hypercortisolism was suspected given the patient's age and rapid onset of disease. Investigations revealed cortisol excess from a pituitary microadenoma. This case demonstrates that CD can present with severe findings and highlights the increased risk of venous thromboembolism in hypercortisolism, especially in CD.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome of abnormal phosphate and vitamin D metabolism caused by typically small endocrine tumors that secrete fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). TIO is characterized clinically by progressive musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, proximal muscle weakness, and multiple fractures, leading to long-term disability. Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis are common because of the nonspecific symptoms, and several years may elapse before patients receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Thus, it is vital that awareness of the appropriate recognition and management of TIO is increased among healthcare professionals who may encounter patients with suspected TIO. METHODS: A roundtable meeting was held on 10 January 2020 in Dallas, TX, USA, to gather perspectives on the diagnosis and treatment of TIO. The following topics were considered: clinical presentation, patient history, differential diagnosis, laboratory assessment, imaging, venous sampling, and treatment. RESULTS: This report provides a summary of our collective experiences in the management of TIO. MAIN CONCLUSIONS: Laboratory tests are mandatory to expedite TIO diagnosis and should include measurement of fasting serum phosphorus, renal phosphate reabsorption, serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and serum FGF23 levels. Functional and anatomical imaging are essential to locate the FGF23-secreting tumor(s) causing TIO. Surgical resection is often a curative treatment when the tumor can be localized; however, better management of patients who cannot be operated on with targeted therapies is needed. Further efforts to increase awareness of TIO within the medical community, and education on recommended diagnostic and treatment pathways are required to improve the management of this debilitating disease.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The pathogenesis of bone fragility in diabetes has not been fully characterized. The antifracture efficacy of available therapies remains unproven in patients with diabetes. We aim to collate current evidence of the treatment of diabetic bone fragility, and to provide a rationale for considering optimal therapeutic option in patients with diabetes. RECENT FINDINGS: The antifracture efficacy of antiresorptive and anabolic therapies is well established in patients without diabetes. Studies in patients with osteoporosis have shown that anabolic therapies lead to faster and larger benefits to bone mineral density and offer greater protection against fracture than antiresorptive therapies. Available data suggest that antiresorptive and anabolic therapies have similar effect on bone density and fracture risk reduction in patients with and without diabetes. However, the evidence in diabetes is limited to observational studies and post hoc analyses of osteoporosis studies. SUMMARY: There are no specific guidelines for the treatment of bone fragility in patients with diabetes. We offer a rationale for use of anabolic therapies in diabetes which is a low bone formation state, in contrast to postmenopausal osteoporosis that is characterized by increased bone turnover. Prospective studies evaluating the effect of available therapies on bone quality and fracture outcomes in patients with diabetes are needed.

RESUMEN
CONTEXT: Increased bone fragility and reduced energy absorption to fracture associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) cannot be explained by bone mineral density alone. This study, for the first time, reports on alterations in bone tissue's material properties obtained from individuals with diabetes and known fragility fracture status. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of T2D in altering biomechanical, microstructural, and compositional properties of bone in individuals with fragility fracture. METHODS: Femoral head bone tissue specimens were collected from patients who underwent replacement surgery for fragility hip fracture. Trabecular bone quality parameters were compared in samples of 2 groups, nondiabetic (n = 40) and diabetic (n = 30), with a mean duration of disease 7.5 ± 2.8 years. RESULTS: No significant difference was observed in aBMD between the groups. Bone volume fraction (BV/TV) was lower in the diabetic group due to fewer and thinner trabeculae. The apparent-level toughness and postyield energy were lower in those with diabetes. Tissue-level (nanoindentation) modulus and hardness were lower in this group. Compositional differences in the diabetic group included lower mineral:matrix, wider mineral crystals, and bone collagen modifications-higher total fluorescent advanced glycation end-products (fAGEs), higher nonenzymatic cross-link ratio (NE-xLR), and altered secondary structure (amide bands). There was a strong inverse correlation between NE-xLR and postyield strain, fAGEs and postyield energy, and fAGEs and toughness. CONCLUSION: The current study is novel in examining bone tissue in T2D following first hip fragility fracture. Our findings provide evidence of hyperglycemia's detrimental effects on trabecular bone quality at multiple scales leading to lower energy absorption and toughness indicative of increased propensity to bone fragility.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increases fracture risk despite normal or increased BMD. Abaloparatide reduces fracture risk in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO); however, its efficacy in women with T2DM is unknown. This post hoc analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of abaloparatide in patients with T2DM. The analysis included patients with T2DM from the Abaloparatide Comparator Trial In Vertebral Endpoints (ACTIVE), a phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo- and active-controlled trial. In ACTIVE, participants were randomized 1:1:1 to daily s.c. injections of placebo, abaloparatide (80 µg), or open-label teriparatide (20 µg) for 18 months. A total of 198 women with PMO and T2DM from 21 centers in 10 countries were identified from ACTIVE through review of their medical records. The main outcomes measured included effect of abaloparatide versus placebo on BMD and trabecular bone score (TBS), with secondary outcomes of fracture risk and safety, in patients from ACTIVE with T2DM. Significant (p < 0.001) improvements in BMD at total hip (mean change 3.0% versus -0.4%), femoral neck (2.6% versus -0.2%), and lumbar spine (8.9% versus 1.3%) and TBS at lumbar spine (3.72% versus -0.56%) were observed with abaloparatide versus placebo at 18 months. Fracture events were fewer with abaloparatide treatment in patients with T2DM, and differences were not significant between groups except nonvertebral fractures in the abaloparatide versus placebo groups (p = 0.04). Safety was consistent with the ACTIVE population. In conclusion, in women with PMO and T2DM, abaloparatide treatment resulted in significant improvements in BMD and TBS versus placebo, consistent with the overall ACTIVE population © 2020 The Authors.

RESUMEN
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This article summarizes the risk factors for atypical femur fractures (AFF), discusses current and emerging imaging modalities for early identification of AFF, and offers recommendations for prevention and management of AFFs based on the current concepts. RECENT FINDINGS: Antiresorptive therapies are widely recommended for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Despite their well established effectiveness to reduce fracture risk, emerging concerns related to potential adverse effects have led to a substantial decline in the use of bisphosphonates. Although, the pathogenesis of AFF has not yet been elucidated, the bulk of evidence supports that the well known therapeutic benefits of bisphosphonate far outweigh the relatively low risk of AFFs. Recommendations for early identification of patients at risk for AFF using radiographic imaging have been established. Consensus on the management of AFF and osteoporosis in patients with AFF needs to be formulated. SUMMARY: AFF is a rare event associated with long-term bisphosphonate therapy, which represents an apparent paradox in the management of osteoporosis. Improved understanding of pathogenetic mechanisms will be helpful in further refining of screening guidelines and standardization of management and treatment strategies.

OBJECTIVE: In the Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) study, metformin plus rosiglitazone (M + R) maintained glycemic control better than metformin alone (M) or metformin plus lifestyle (M + L) in youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We hypothesized that changes in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) would explain the differential treatment effects on glycemia. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: In 626 youth ages 11-17 years with T2D duration <2 years, VAT and SAT were estimated by DXA at baseline and at 6 and 24 months. Changes from baseline were analyzed in linear mixed models. RESULTS: Baseline mean age was 13.9 years, 66.4% were female, 72.2% were Hispanic/non-Hispanic black, and 20.3% were non-Hispanic white (NHW). Mean BMI was 33.7 kg/m2. VAT increased more in M + R (13.1%) than M + L (3.9%, P = 0.0006) or M (6.5%, P = 0.0146). SAT also increased more in M + R (13.3%) than in M + L (5.4%, P < 0.0001) or M (6.4%, P = 0.0005), indicating no significant fat redistribution in M + R. In NHWs, VAT increased more in M + R than M (P = 0.0192) and M + L (P = 0.0482) but did not explain the race-ethnicity differences in treatment effects on glycemic control among treatment groups. VAT and SAT increases correlated with higher HbA1c, lower insulin sensitivity, and lower oral disposition index (all P < 0.05), but associations did not differ by treatment group. CONCLUSIONS: In contrast to the existing reports in adults with T2D, in TODAY, M + R resulted in the most VAT accumulation compared with M + L or M. Differential effects on depot-specific indirect measures of adiposity are unrelated to treatment effects in sustaining glycemic control. Additional studies are needed to understand the clinical markers of metabolic risk profile in youth with T2D on rosiglitazone.

Fibrogenesis imperfecta ossium (FIO) is an extremely uncommon fatal bone disorder of poorly understood etiology. The pathogenesis of FIO is not well known. The fundamental skeletal defect appears to be an abnormality in organic matrix of bone characterized by defective mineralization of the abnormal collagen. FIO clinically manifests in middle-aged adults presenting with fracture and bone pain. Elevated serum alkaline phosphatase is the only and the most consistent biochemical abnormality. Although paraproteinemia is observed in one-third of cases, the pathogenic link to the disease process is unclear. Limited information on FIO and its close resemblance to many metabolic bone disorders leads to delayed or missed diagnoses and management. Prednisolone, bisphosphonates, melphalan and steroids have been tried previously with variable success. Recently, a trial of recombinant growth hormone therapy was found to be effective. Further research focused on the pathogenetic mechanisms of FIO is needed to identify and develop targeted therapeutic options.

CONTEXT: Fibrogenesis imperfecta ossium (FIO) is a rare and progressive skeletal bone disorder of undetermined etiology. Given its rareness, the pathogenesis of FIO remains elusive and no effective treatment exists. Based on review of all published cases and our collective experience of FIO, we offer a comprehensive approach for the diagnosis and management of this complex and fatal disorder. DESIGN: A review of electronic and print medical literature comprising case reports and articles retrieved from PubMed database up to March 2018 was conducted using the search term "fibrogenesis imperfecta." In addition, references from retrieved case reports and articles were screened for articles containing information on FIO and differential diagnoses. RESULTS: Twenty-six articles containing information concerning 29 cases were identified. We reviewed the clinical and pathophysiologic features of all published cases. Comprehensive information on FIO is lacking in the literature. Diagnostic approach, in an attempt to gain insight into the disease, differed depending on the advancements in science and tools available at the time of patient identification. The response to various treatments used has been widely variable. CONCLUSION: The dearth of information on FIO and low index of suspicion may lead to delayed or missed diagnoses and management. The fundamental skeletal defect appears to be an abnormality in organic matrix of bone characterized by defective mineralization of the abnormal collagen. Research focused on the identification of pathogenetic factors is needed. Although long-term outcomes of GH therapy are yet to be ascertained, short-term effectiveness appears promising.
