Abstract:

Objective To investigate the roles of parathyroid hormone(PTH),C-reactive protein(CRP),osteoprotegerin(OPG)/pyridinoline(PYR) ratio in elderly patients with osteoporosis(OP). Methods Totally,137 patients with suspected OP were enrolled and classified into OP group(32 cases) and non-OP group(105 cases) according to the presence or absence of OP. The clinical data were collected,and lumbar spine and femoral neck bone mineral densities(BMD),serum PTH,CRP and OPG levels and urinary PYR levels were determined. OPG/PYR ratio was calculated. Pearson correlation analysis and partial correlation analysis were used to analyze the relationship between each index and lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to analyze the efficiency of OP. Results The proportion of diabetes mellitus and serum PTH and CRP levels were higher in OP group than those in non-OP group(P<0.05),and lumbar spine BMD,femoral neck BMD and OPG/PYR ratio were lower than those in non-OP group(P<0.05). Between the 2 groups,age,sex,body mass index,the proportion of alcohol consumption history,the proportion of smoking history,the proportion of hyperlipoidemia,the proportion of coronary heart disease and the proportion of hypertension had no statistical significance(P>0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that PTH and CRP were negatively correlated with lumbar spine BMD and femoral neck BMD(P<0.05),and the OPG/PYR ratio was positively correlated with lumbar spine BMD and femoral neck BMD(P<0.05). The results of partial correlation analysis showed that PTH,CRP and OPG/PYR ratio were correlated with lumbar spine BMD and femoral neck BMD after controlling for the factor of diabetes mellitus(P<0.05). The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under curves(AUC) of PTH,CRP and OPG/PYR ratio single and combined determinations to diagnose OP were 0.856,0.826,0.861 and 0.912,respectively. Conclusions PTH,CRP,OPG/PYR ratio are correlated to OP,which can be used in the auxiliary diagnosis and disease monitoring of OP.
