OBJECTIVE: To examine longitudinal trends in bone mineral density (BMD) levels in Norwegian adolescents into young adulthood.
METHODS: In a prospective cohort design, we followed 980 adolescents (473 (48%) females) aged 16-19 years into adulthood (age of 26-29) on three occasions: 2010-2011 (Fit Futures 1 (FF1)), 2012-2013 (FF2), and 2021-2022 (FF3), measuring BMD (g/cm2) at the femoral neck, total hip, and total body with dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). We used linear mixed models to examine longitudinal BMD changes from FF1 to FF3.
RESULTS: From the median age of 16 years (FF1), femoral neck BMD (mean g/cm2 (95% CI)) slightly increased in females from 1.070 (1.059-1.082) to 1.076 (1.065-1.088, p = 0.015) at the median age of 18 years (FF2) but declined to 1.041 (1.029-1.053, p < 0.001) at the median age of 27 years (FF3). Similar patterns were observed in males: 16 years, 1.104 (1.091-1.116); 27 years, 1.063 (1.050-1.077, p < 0.001); and for the total hip in both sexes (both p < 0.001). Total body BMD increased from age 16 to 27 years in both sexes (females: 16 years, 1.141 (1.133-1.148); 27 years, 1.204 (1.196-1.212), p < 0.001; males: 16 years, 1.179 (1.170-1.188); 27 years, 1.310 (1.296-1.315), p < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: BMD levels increased from 16 to 18 years at the femoral and total hip sites in young Norwegian females and males, and a small decline was observed at the femoral sites when the participants were followed up to 27 years. Total body BMD continued to increase from adolescence to young adulthood.
目的:研究挪威青少年成年期骨密度(BMD)水平的纵向趋势。
方法:在前瞻性队列设计中,我们跟踪了980名16-19岁的青少年(473(48%)女性)到成年(26-29岁)三次:2010-2011(FitFutures1(FF1)),2012-2013(FF2),和2021-2022(FF3),测量股骨颈的BMD(g/cm2),全髋关节,和全身双X射线吸收法(DXA)。我们使用线性混合模型来检查从FF1到FF3的纵向BMD变化。
结果:从中位年龄16岁(FF1)开始,女性股骨颈BMD(平均g/cm2(95%CI))在中位年龄18岁(FF2)时从1.070(1.059-1.082)略微增加至1.076(1.065-1.088,p=0.015),但在中位年龄27岁(FF3)时下降至1.041(1.029-1.053,p<0.001).在男性中观察到类似的模式:16岁,1.104(1.091-1.116);27年,1.063(1.050-1.077,p<0.001);对于两种性别的全髋关节(均p<0.001)。男女的总身体BMD从16岁增加到27岁(女性:16岁,1.141(1.133-1.148);27年,1.204(1.196-1.212),p<0.001;男性:16岁,1.179(1.170-1.188);27年,1.310(1.296-1.315),p<0.001)。
结论:年轻的挪威女性和男性的股骨和全髋关节部位的BMD水平从16岁增加到18岁,在对参与者进行长达27年的随访时,在股骨部位观察到小幅下降。从青春期到成年,全身BMD持续增加。
