Risk factors associated with osteoporosis in a cohort of prospectively diagnosed adult coeliac patients.
United European Gastroenterology Journal 2018 October
Background: Up to 75% of patients with untreated coeliac disease (CD) present with osteopenia or osteoporosis. Guidelines do not express with certainty whether each patient with newly diagnosed CD should undergo a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan.
Aim: The aim of this article is to evaluate the prevalence of bone mineral density (BMD) alterations at diagnosis and risk factors associated with osteoporosis.
Methods: A total of 214 adult patients (median age 38 years; female = 71.5%) newly diagnosed with CD underwent DEXA. The patients were divided into three groups: patients with normal BMD, those with osteopenia and those with osteoporosis. Clinical, histological and serological features were assessed and compared among the three groups. Logistic regression including relevant independent variables was performed.
Results: DEXA indicated that 39.7%, 42.5% and 17.8% of the CD patients had normal BMD, osteopenia and osteoporosis, respectively. Logistic regression indicated that features significantly associated with osteoporosis were male gender (OR 4.7; 95%CI 1.1 to 20.8), age ≥45 years (OR 6.5; 95% CI 1.3 to 32.2), underweight (OR 7.4; 95% CI 1.3 to 42.5) and greater histological damage (Marsh 3C; OR 5.8; 95% CI 1.4 to 24.1).
Conclusions: BMD alterations were found in 60.3% of newly diagnosed adult coeliac patients. Osteoporosis was significantly associated with age ≥45 years, male gender, underweight and Marsh 3C, suggesting that at CD diagnosis, a DEXA scan might be beneficial, particularly in these subgroups of patients.
