Background: The fracture risk induced by anti-estrogen therapy in patients with breast cancer remains controversial. The aim of this study was to perform a meta-analysis and systematic review to evaluate the risk of osteoporotic fracture in patients with breast cancer.
Methods: A systematic search was performed to identify studies that included any osteoporotic fracture (hip fracture and vertebral fracture) in patients breast cancer. Main outcome measures were occurrence and risk of osteoporotic fractures including hip and vertebral fractures in patients and controls.
Results: A systematic search yielded a total of 4 studies that included osteoporotic fracture outcomes in patients with breast cancer. Meta-analysis showed a higher risk of osteoporotic fracture in patients with breast cancer. Analysis of these 4 studies involving a total of 127,722 (23,821 cases and 103,901 controls) patients showed that the incidence of osteoporotic fractures was higher in the breast cancer group than in the control group. The pooled estimate of crude relative risk for osteoporotic fracture was 1.35 (95% confidence interval, 1.29-1.42; <0.001).
Conclusions: Although studies were limited by a small number, results suggested a possible association between anti-estrogen therapy and increased risk of osteoporotic fractures in patients with breast cancer.

Background: Poor sleep health is associated with cognitive impairment (CI) in older adults. The cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) sleep spectrogram, which estimates the sleep state modulated synchronization between heart rate variability and respiration, is an increasingly recognized measure of sleep stability. However, little is known about the longitudinal association between CPC measures of sleep stability and risk of incident CI.

Background: Individuals with dementia frequently exhibit disturbed sleep electroencephalography (EEG) microstructures, including spindles and slow oscillations. We have previously developed a sleep EEG-based brain age index (BAI), which integrates multiple sleep EEG microstructures and has been associated with prevalent dementia in clinical populations. Here, we aim to determine if BAI is associated with incident cognitive impairment (CI) in a community population of older men, and its discrimination capability as a digital biomarker.

Objective: To explore the status of kinesophobia in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and analyze the influencing factors of different kinesophobia profiles.
Design: Cross-sectional survey study.
Participants: A total of 245 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures who underwent surgical treatment at our Department of Orthopedics between January 2023 and March 2024 were selected.

Background: Osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder affecting nearly 20% of the global population, poses a significant health concern, with osteoporotic vertebral body fractures (VBF) representing a common clinical manifestation. The impact of osteoporotic sintering fractures in the thoracolumbar spine on the sagittal lumbar profile is incompletely understood and may lead to the onset of clinical symptoms in previously asymptomatic patients.
Methods: This retrospective single-center study analyzed data from patients presenting with osteoporotic spine fractures between 2017 and 2022.

Unlabelled: Our study investigated trends in osteoporosis management in Xiamen from 2012 to 2021, revealing improvements in screening and treatment, although medication use remained low. Additionally, we identified factors that may influence medication use and emphasized the importance of effective osteoporosis management strategies.
Purpose: The goal of the current study is to explore trends in assessment, diagnosis after fragility fractures, and osteoporosis treatment among hospitalized patients in Xiamen, China, between 2012 and 2021.
