Calcium supplements increase the risk of dementia inn older people

1. #Calcium tablets are commonly prescribed to older people to lower the risk of #osteoporosis and #fractures. However, calcium tablets may increase the risk of #Dementia.
#neurotwitter #MedTwitter
2. Women (aged 70 or more) taking calcium supplements had a higher risk of all type dementia, vascular and mixed dementia at 5-year follow up.
The risk of dementia was higher in women with previous history of #stroke and those with white matter lesions (WML) on #MRI brain.
3. In another study, higher serum calcium status (even if not hypercalcemia) was associated with increased risk of #Alzheimers disease in elders. Serum calcium is a useful biomarker in predicting clinical progression in nondemented elders.

1/n A fascinating article came out this summer that argues for a plant-forward omni diet, and it contains a very inflammatory headline:

"Debunking the #vegan myth: The case for a plant-forward omnivorous whole-foods diet"

Note author Loren Cordain, a paleo proponent Image
2/n

The abstract:

"Veganism is without evolutionary precedent in Homo sapiens species. Strict adherence to a #vegan diet causes predictable deficiencies in nutrients including vitamins B12, B2, D, niacin, iron, iodine, zinc, high-quality proteins, omega-3, and calcium."

Let's review the images quickly because they show some of these dangers.

All cause mortality for #vegans and vegetarians is higher! Image

Medications and Bone Health:
A Thread 🦴🧵

Let’s discuss some medications that can have harmful effects on your bone health

(Not medical advice. Consult first with your physician prior to changing your medications)

Let’s start with the common anti-acids …
#Osteoporosis
Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)

These are commonly used in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Examples include omeprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, etc.
PPIs basically inhibit the formation of acid in the stomach. As such, they can affect nutrient absorption, including calcium.
The body then starts breaking down its own bone in order to obtain calcium for bodily functions

Patients with T2DM, CVD, conditions of hyperinsulinaemia, have lower: bone remodelling and osteocalcin levels, and increased rates of fragility fractures.

T2DM “hyperinsulinaemia-osteofragilitas” bone phenotype presents with normal to increased BMD mdpi.com/2227-9059/9/9/…
Hyperinsulinaemia and IR positively associate with increased BMD and fragility fractures

Hyperinsulinaemia enforces glucose fuelling, decreasing NAD+-dependent antioxidant activity:

➡️⬆️ ROS & mt fission,
➡️⬇️ OxPhos ATP production capacity, needed for osteoblasto/cytogenesis.
Osteocytes directly mineralise and resorb bone, & inhibit mineralisation of their lacunocanalicular space via pyrophosphate.

Hyperinsulinaemia decreases vitamin D availability via adipocyte sequestration, reducing dendrite connectivity, and compromising osteocyte viability.

With 2020 almost over, it's time again to look back at some of the BEST in the #bone field: 🔝20 papers (+extras).

Happy to hear your input! Disclosure: fully subjective ranking!
@ASBMR @AcademyEcts @Osteoporosis_NL @osteoporosisNI @mmse30 @NatalieASims
#1 Atypical Femoral fractures @NEJM (Black DM et al.)
Risk reduces within months of @Bisphosphonate1 discontinuation. Benefit>risk in any group but less so in Asians and women <65yr
nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NE…
-side note- @ECTS_science very useful systematic review and recommendations for managing osteoporosis following AFFs.

And oral BPs may not only reduce fractures but also cardiovascular events

اليوم موضوعنا من اشهر واهم مواضيع العظام 😍اللي هو
#Osteoporosis
#هشاشةالعظام
تعالوا نشوف تفاصيل المرض في هذا الثريد 👇🏼
ايش يعني هشاشة عظام ؟ Osteoporosis
is a bone disorder characterized by low bone density, impaired bone
architecture, and compromised bone strength predisposing to fracture.
Pathophysiology
Two cells are responsible for promoting bones health:
⭕️osteoblast (promotes the
formation of bone tissues) خلايا بناءة
⭕️osteoclast (promotes bone breakdown) خلايا هادمة
Osteoporosis occurs when the resorption (bone breakdown) exceeds the formation.

1/x I’ll be teaching on #osteoporosis diagnosis and management tomorrow to future physicians @MUCOM_Indy. A few thoughts... #WorldOsteoporosisDay
2/x For most people #osteoporosis is a silent disease until a fracture disrupts and potentially changes their life. Many never regain full mobility or independence. Just 1 fragility fracture raises risk of a second fracture and increases risk of mortality. #WorldOsteoporosisDay
3/x For other #osteoporosis patients, fear of fracture causes elevated anxiety and decreases their well-being. The anxiety may cause patients to self-limit their physical activity and actually increase fall risk and fracture risk. #WorldOsteoporosisDay

Incredibly refreshing to read this review that details how 👉components of the intestinal #microbiome (+ the metabolites they express) can regulate bone metabolism (#osteoporosis)☝️by influencing host metabolism, immunity + the endocrine environment: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… ImageImageImageImage
For example LCA, a ligand synthecized by intestinal #bacteria 👉 can bind into the vitamin D receptor (#VDR) where it reduces the ability of vitamin D to activate osteocalcin and RANKL (two human genes associated w/ bone formation): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… ImageImageImageImage
The level of complexity + nuance in the review (in which many pathways, #microbes + metabolites can influence osteoporosis progression) 👉 helps explain why recent RCTs that relied on #vitamin D supplemetation alone to treat bone health have failed: thelancet.com/journals/landi… ImageImage

5 Life-Enhancing Benefits of Strength Training for Adults Over 55 🏋🏽‍♀️

Strength training and regular aerobic activity help prevent many chronic and degenerative diseases related to #aging.

Here are 5 #health benefits that strength training can provide to older adults...

1/7 Image
1. Stronger Muscles

Stronger muscles protect the joints of the body. Muscle weakness can cause the hips, spine, and shoulder to be less stable and more prone to injury.

A stronger body can withstand the #stress of daily activities.

#strengthtraining
2. Chronic Pain Relief

Many #chronicpain issues are a result of muscle weakness and muscle imbalances.

Strength exercises can correct these imbalances to restore the function and integrity of the joints.
