RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to provide an evidence-based framework to guide health care professionals treating patients under glucocorticoid (GC) therapy and develop guidelines for the prevention and treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO) in postmenopausal women and men aged ≥50 years. METHODS: An expert panel on bone diseases designed a series of clinically meaningful questions following the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparator, and Outcome) structure. Using GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) methodology, we made a systematic literature review, extracted and summarized the effect estimates, and graded the quality of the evidence. The expert panel voted each PICO question and made recommendations after reaching an agreement of at least 70%. RESULTS: Seventeen recommendations (9 strong and 8 conditional) and 8 general principles were developed for postmenopausal women and men aged ≥50 years under GC treatment. Bone mineral density (BMD), occurrence of fragility fractures, probability of fracture at 10 years by Fracture Risk Assessment Tool, and other screening factors for low BMD are recommended for patient evaluation and stratification according to fragility fracture risk. The treatment of patients under GC therapy should include counseling on lifestyle habits and strict control of comorbidities. The goal of GIO treatment is the nonoccurrence of new fragility fractures as well as to increase or maintain BMD in certain clinical situations. This was considered for the therapeutic approach in different clinical scenarios. CONCLUSIONS: This GIO guideline provides evidence-based guidance for health care providers treating patients.

Exposure to sunlight (ES) is the main source of vitamin D. There are few reports regarding the seasonal variations of serum 25(OH) vitamin D in young adults and its correlation with ultraviolet radiation dose (UVRd). Our aims were to determine 25OHD variations in young adults and assess the correlation between 25OHD levels, dietary calcium intake (DCI) and the UVRd. Eighty two healthy volunteers were prospectively studied: 42 women and 40 men. Serum 25OHD, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium were measured at the end of winter and at the end of summer. ES and UVRd were determined hourly in winter and summer. Seasonal variation in serum 25OHD levels was observed with significantly higher levels in summer in both gender. Serum 25OHD <20 ng/ml was more frequently found in winter (42.6% in women and 50% in men). The ES and UVRd were significantly lower in winter vs. summer. ES and UVRd positively correlated with 25OHD only in winter in both men and women. DCI was lower than recommended and did not correlate with 25OHD levels.

El estatus de vitamina D depende principalmente de la exposición solar (ES). Son escasos los informes de las variaciones estacionales de 25(OH)vitamina D, 25OHD, en adultos jóvenes y su relación con la dosis de radiación solar ultravioleta (dRUV). El objetivo de este trabajo fue medir variaciones estacionales de 25OHD en adultos jóvenes estableciendo la correlación con la ingesta dietaria de calcio (IDCa) y la dRUV. Se realizó un estudio prospectivo en individuos sanos: 42 mujeres y 40 varones. Se dosaron a fin de invierno y fin de verano: 25OHD, calcio, fósforo y magnesio. Se evaluó ES y dRUV para cada hora del día en invierno y verano. Se observó una variación estacional de 25OHD con valores significativamente mayores en verano tanto en varones como en mujeres. El 42.6% de las mujeres y el 50.0% de los varones tenían 25OHD <20 ng/ml en invierno. La ES y la dRUV fueron significativamente inferiores en invierno que en verano. Sólo en invierno se halló una correlación positiva entre ES y dRUV con 25OHD en ambos sexos. La IDCa fue insuficiente y no correlacionó con 25OHD.
