Outline Bone Structure, Metabolism, and Assessment Prevalence of Bone Disease Risk Factors for Low BMD, Osteoporosis, and Fracture Diagnosis and Management of Osteoporosis
Background People >50 years old account for 17% of new and 42% of known HIV diagnoses Many of these patients are also facing diseases associated with aging Osteoporosis is a common age-related condition CDC. HIV Surveillance Report 2014
Bone Structure, Metabolism, and Assessment
Bone Structure Bone is an active organ that undergoes constant remodeling via bone formation (mediated by osteoblasts) and bone resorption (mediated by osteoclasts)1 In people with osteoporosis, there are changes in both bone mass and bone architecture2 Normal Bone Osteoporotic Bone 1Orwall E & Bliziotes M.

Etiology of Osteoporosis Bone mineral density (BMD) changes with age1 Peak BMD usually occurs by age 18 to 25 years Osteoporosis can occur as a result of: Faster than normal loss of bone mass, either due to decreased bone formation or increased bone resorption1 Failure to reach peak bone mass, potentially due malnutrition, childhood illness, inadequate exercise, or genetic factors1,2 1National Osteoporosis Foundation. Clinician’s Guide to Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis, 2010. 2Heaney RP, et al. Osteoporos Int. 2000;11:985-1009.
Measuring Bone Health Bone health is most often assessed by measuring BMD of the hip and spine with a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanner1 Scans are non-invasive, painless, and result in little radiation exposure1,2 BMD is reported as a score3 T-score: number of standard deviations between the measured BMD and the mean BMD of young healthy white women Z-score: number of standard deviations between the measured BMD and the mean BMD of individuals of the same age and gender Using Medicare’s 2011 fee schedule, the cost of a DXA scan is about $1304 1National Osteoporosis Foundation.

Relationship Between BMD and Fracture Risk The risk of fracture increases as BMD decreases For every unit decrease in T-score (one standard deviation [SD] away from the mean), the risk of fracture doubles A T-score of 0 is the mean BMD for healthy young women and is assigned a relative risk of 1.0 as the reference value. Meunier PJ, et al. Clin Ther. 1999;21:1025–1044.
Defining Osteopenia and Osteoporosis The World Health Organization (WHO) defines osteopenia (low BMD) and osteoporosis based on T-score1 These categories are intended for postmenopausal women and men ≥50 years of age2 For premenopausal women, men under 50 years of age, and children, The International Society for Clinical Densitometry recommends Z-scores instead of T-scores2 A Z-score of ≤ -2.0 is defined as “below the expected range for age” 1World Health Organization. Assessment of Fracture Risk and its Application to Screening for Postmenopausal Osteoporosis. 1994. 2The International Society for Clinical Densitometry. 2007 Official Positions & Pediatric Official Positions.

Prevalence of Bone Disease
Prevalence of Osteoporosis and Fragility Fractures in General US Population In the general population, 55% of people ≥50 years of age have low BMD or osteoporosis1 In white women ≥50 years of age, a population often associated with decreased BMD, the prevalence of osteoporosis is 30%2 Men account for 20% of people with osteoporosis1 In the remaining lifetime of people ≥50 years of age, osteoporosis-related fractures will occur in1: Approximately 50% of women Approximately 20% of men Consequences of fractures can include decreased quality of life, decreased mobility, and death1 In the 12 months following a hip fracture, the estimated rate of mortality is 14% to 37%1,3-5 1National Osteoporosis Foundation.

Prevalence of Low BMD/Osteoporosis in Patients With HIV vs Controls SUN study: 5-year prospective cohort of adults with HIV1 Data collected 2004-2006 NHANES: healthy controls matched for age, race, gender, and BMI1 Rates of low BMD and osteoporosis were higher in patients with HIV compared with matched controls (based on femoral neck T-scores)1 NHANES = National Health and Nutrition Examination Study III 1Overton ET, et al. 14th CROI 2007: Poster 836.
Prevalence of Osteoporosis in Patients With HIV vs Controls In a meta-analysis of 11 studies, the overall prevalence of osteoporosis (T-score ≤ -2.5) in patients infected with HIV (n=884) was 15%, 3.7 times greater than in HIV-uninfected controls (n=654) Brown T, et al. AIDS. 2006;20:2165-2174.
Fracture Rates in Patients With HIV vs Controls Triant, et al.1: patients with HIV had higher rates of fracture than uninfected patients, regardless of sex and age Womack, et al. (VA)2: incidence rate of fragility fractures was significantly higher among people with HIV compared with matched controls Young, et al. (HOPS)3: sex- and age- standardized fracture rates were higher among people with HIV compared with general US population Hansen, et al.4: patients with HIV had a higher rate of low-energy fractures than matched controls 1Triant V, et al.

Diagnosis and Management of Osteoporosis Risk Assessment Next Steps for At-Risk Patients Secondary Causes of Osteoporosis Treatment Considerations
Risk Assessment Making an initial assessment of a patient’s risk for osteoporosis does not require a DXA scan1 Consider common risk factors, such as1,2: Age Low BMI Personal and family fracture history Smoking Alcohol use (≥3 drinks/day) Physical activity level FRAX® is a free online tool that calculates the 10-year probability of a major osteoporotic fracture or hip fracture1 Developed by the World Health Organization DXA measurement (femoral neck) is optional www.shef.ac.uk/FRAX/index.jsp 1World Health Organization.
