Bipolar disorder (BD) is associated with significant psychological and physical comorbidity. Yet little is known about the bone health of individuals with BD. Thus, we aimed to investigate the association between BD and bone health in a population-based sample of women.
Women with a history of BD (cases; n = 117) were recruited from public and private health care settings and controls, without BD, were drawn from the Geelong Osteoporosis Study (n = 909). BD was identified using a semi-structured clinical interview (SCID-I/NP). Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured at the spine, femoral neck and total body using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, and bone quality by quantitative heel ultrasound and included the following parameters: Speed of Sound (SOS), Broadband Ultrasound Attenuation (BUA) and Stiffness Index (SI). Weight and height were measured and information on medication use and lifestyle was obtained.
Adjusted mean BMD among the cases was 4.3% lower at the hip and 1.6% lower at the total body compared to controls. Age was an effect modifier at the spine. Among women <50 years, mean spine BMD for cases was 3.5% lower than controls. No differences in spine BMD for those ≥50 years were detected. Cases also had a 1.0%, 3.2% and 7.8% lower adjusted mean SOS, BUA and SI compared to controls, respectively.
Course, chronicity and recovery of BD were not explored in relation to bone health.
These data suggest BD is associated with low bone quantity and quality in women. Replication and research into underlying mechanisms is warranted.
双相情感障碍(BD)与显著的心理和身体共病有关。然而,人们对 BD 患者的骨骼健康知之甚少。因此,我们旨在调查基于人群的女性样本中 BD 与骨骼健康之间的关联。
从公共和私人医疗保健机构招募了有 BD 病史的女性(病例;n=117),并从基隆骨质疏松研究(n=909)中招募了无 BD 的对照。BD 通过半结构化临床访谈(SCID-I/NP)进行识别。使用双能 X 射线吸收法测量脊柱、股骨颈和全身的骨密度(BMD),并通过定量足跟超声测量骨质量,包括以下参数:声速(SOS)、宽带超声衰减(BUA)和刚度指数(SI)。测量体重和身高,并获取药物使用和生活方式信息。
与对照组相比,病例组髋部的平均 BMD 低 4.3%,全身的平均 BMD 低 1.6%。年龄是脊柱的效应修饰剂。在<50 岁的女性中,病例组的脊柱 BMD 比对照组低 3.5%。对于≥50 岁的女性,未发现脊柱 BMD 存在差异。与对照组相比,病例组的调整平均 SOS、BUA 和 SI 分别低 1.0%、3.2%和 7.8%。
BD 的病程、慢性期和恢复情况与骨骼健康之间的关系尚未得到探讨。
这些数据表明 BD 与女性骨量和骨质量低有关。需要进行复制和研究以探索潜在机制。
