  • Identification of 613 new loci associated with heel bone mineral density and a polygenic risk score for bone mineral density, osteoporosis and fracture - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30048462

    ABSTRACT: Low bone mineral density (BMD) leads to osteoporosis, and is a risk factor for bone fractures, including stress fractures. Using data from UK Biobank, a genome-wide association study identified 1,362 independent SNPs that clustered into 899 loci of which 613 are new. These data were used to train a genetic algorithm using 22,886 SNPs as predictors and showing a correlation with heel bone mineral density of 0.415. Combining this genetic algorithm with height, weight, age and sex resulted in a correlation with heel bone mineral density of 0.496. Individuals with low scores (2.2% of total) showed a change in BMD of -1.16 T-score units, an increase in risk for osteoporosis of 17.4 fold and an increase in risk for fracture of 1.87 fold. Genetic predictors could assist in the identific

  • An atlas of genetic influences on osteoporosis in humans and mice - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30598549

    ABSTRACT: Osteoporosis is a common aging-related disease diagnosed primarily using bone mineral density (BMD). We assessed genetic determinants of BMD as estimated by heel quantitative ultrasound (eBMD) in 426,824 individuals, identifying 518 genome-wide significant loci (301 novel), explaining 20% of its variance. We identified 13 bone fracture loci, all associated with eBMD, in ~1.2M individuals. We then identified target genes enriched for genes known to influence bone density and strength (maximum odds-ratio=58, p=10-75) from cell-specific features, including chromatin conformation and accessible chromatin sites. We next performed rapid-throughput skeletal phenotyping of 126 knockout mice lacking target genes and found an increased abnormal skeletal phenotype frequency compared to 526

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Diet

  • Adequate daily calcium intake High

    Calcium is essential for bone formation; genetic predisposition to lower BMD requires optimized calcium intake

    1000-1200 mg daily from diet and supplements; prioritize dairy, fortified foods, and leafy greens

Exercise

  • Weight-bearing and resistance exercise High

    Mechanical loading stimulates bone formation; individuals with genetic lower BMD particularly benefit from consistent loading

    30-45 minutes moderate weight-bearing or resistance exercise 4-5 times weekly

Screening

  • Bone density screening starting at age 50 High

    Genetic variant associated with reduced heel bone mineral density; early screening enables preventive intervention

    Discuss baseline DEXA scan or quantitative ultrasound at age 50; repeat every 1-2 years if abnormal

Supplements

  • Vitamin D supplementation or annual testing Moderate

    Vitamin D supports calcium absorption and bone mineralization; genetic predisposition to lower BMD requires optimized vitamin D

    Test 25-OH vitamin D level annually; maintain 30-50 ng/mL; supplement 1000-2000 IU daily if deficient
