Treatment of low bone mass in premenopausal women: When may it be appropriate?

The diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women has been well defined. Criteria for making a diagnosis using bone density testing has been established and widely disseminated. However, the definition established by the World Health Organization for osteoporosis cannot be used for other populations such as premenopausal women without further study. Measuring bone mass in premenopausal women should be done infrequently and only if specific and significant risk factors are present. Premenopausal women have a low risk for fracturing but women with low bone mass are at a greater risk for developing fractures before and after menopause. The major reason for low bone mass is the failure to reach peak bone mass because of genetic influences, although some environ-mental factors may also play a role. Hormonal therapy for hypogonadism, treatment of diseases such as hyperpara-thyroidism, and keeping medications with detrimental effects on bone to a minimum are important components of treatment. Pharmacologic treatment of low bone mass in premenopausal women has not been well studied although on rare occasions it may be appropriate in women with low bone mass, defined as a Z score of -2 or less, and the presence of other diseases or risk factors. Caution is urged because of the unknown effects of treatment in this population. Further study of the implications of low bone mass and the effects of treatment in this group of women is needed.

“…In all cases, the calcium level was corrected using the protein level. A radiologic study of the thoracic and lumbar spine excluded vertebral deformities, defined as the loss of >25% of the height of the anterior, middle or posterior vertebral body, compared with normal reference values in persons matched for age and sex, as previously reported by our group [15]. The study subjects were not taking any medications and had no diseases, including those associated with abnormalities in mineral metabolism (diabetes mellitus, liver disease, renal osteodystrophy or parathyroid, thyroid, adrenal or ovarian disease) that could interfere with calcium metabolism.…”

“…As in previous studies [15,16,17], all of the women underwent an ultrasound study of the second to fifth proximal phalanges of the non-dominant hand, calculating the mean of all the measurements. The ultrasound study was made with a model DBM Sonic Bone Profiler (Igea, Capri, Italy) equipped with a calliper that closes tangentially on the phalanx and measures the amplitude-dependent speed of sound (Ad-SoS) in meters per second through the phalanx.…”

Dietary Habits, Nutrients and Bone Mass in Spanish Premenopausal Women: The Contribution of Fish to Better Bone Health

et al. 2012

The moderate consumption of fish is recommended for a healthy diet and is also a feature of the Mediterranean diet. Fish is a major food group in diets throughout the world, and studies show that fish consumption is associated with a lower risk of a number of conditions. Spain has one of the highest annual per capita consumptions of fish worldwide. As fish is a source of high quality protein; n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids; vitamins, such as A and D; and minerals, such as selenium, calcium, iodine, magnesium, copper and zinc, nutrients that have positive effects on bone characteristics, it has been proposed that its consumption could improve bone health. In this cross-sectional study, we have investigated the relationship between dietary habits and nutrient intake of 151 Spanish premenopausal women and analyzed the association of fish consumption on bone mass measured by quantitative ultrasound of the phalanges. A higher (P < 0.05) bone mass and vitamin D intake (P < 0.05) was observed in the group with a fish intake of 5–7 servings/week. We conclude that increased fish consumption is helpful in maintaining an adequate bone mass in Spanish premenopausal women.

“…Por eso la capacidad de los QUS para predecir fractura vertebral o femoral sí es similar a la proporcionada por DXA (421,429,430) . Incluso muchos trabajos recientes indican que la valoración mediante US podría ser más adecuada para valorar el riesgo de fractura que los DXA (439,(463)(464)(465)(466)(467)(468) .…”
