Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between the Systemic Inflammatory Response Index (SIRI) and bone mineral density (BMD) in children and adolescents aged 8-19 years.
Methods: A cross-sectional design was used, utilizing NHANES data from 2011-2016, including 3,205 participants aged 8 to 19 years. Weighted multivariable regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between SIRI and BMD at the lumbar spine, pelvis, trunk, and whole body. Additionally, smooth curve fitting was applied to examine the nonlinear relationship between SIRI and BMD, and subgroup analyses were performed to explore potential interaction effects and modifiers.
Results: SIRI was significantly positively correlated with BMD at the pelvis, trunk, and whole body (p < 0.05). After adjusting for covariates, a one-unit increase in ln(SIRI) was associated with increases in BMD of 0.018 g/cm², 0.006 g/cm², and 0.005 g/cm² for the pelvis, trunk, and whole body, respectively. Nonlinear analysis revealed a saturation effect between ln(SIRI) and BMD, with a more pronounced impact at specific threshold values. Subgroup analysis indicated that gender, age, BMI and total calcium levels modulated the relationship between SIRI and BMD.
Conclusion: SIRI is significantly associated with BMD in children and adolescents, with a positive effect on BMD at specific threshold levels. This finding suggests that SIRI may serve as a potential biomarker for assessing the risk of low bone mineral density, offering theoretical support for the prevention and intervention of bone health issues such as osteoporosis.

Obesity is a global health challenge associated with significant metabolic and cardiovascular risks. Bariatric surgery and GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are effective interventions for weight loss and metabolic improvement, yet their comparative effects on systemic metabolism-particularly energy metabolism, bone health, and heart function-remain unclear. In this study, obese male mice underwent vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), 6 weeks of GLP-1RA (semaglutide) treatment, or sham procedure with saline injection as controls.

Introduction: The authors of the latest recommendations state that osteoporosis diagnosis should not rely solely on densitometric (DXA) criteria. Fracture risk assessment is crucial for determining diagnosis and intervention thresholds. Comprehensive assessment of fracture risk requires consideration of bone mineral density (BMD) results, use of risk calculators like Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAXTM), and analysis of clinical and lifestyle factors.

Introduction: A densitometric diagnosis of osteoporosis qualifies patients to a diagnostic-therapeutic process, but densitometric evaluation may not be sufficient for osteopaenic patients. Therefore, it is essential to assess osteoporosis risk factors, fracture history, and 10-year fracture risk, and classify patients into low-, medium-, high-, or very high-risk categories. In our study, we aimed to assess the risk of fractures in patients with newly diagnosed osteopaenia and determine the percentage of patients at high and very high risk of fracture.

Bone mineral density is the primary basis for the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Bone mineral density measurement methods include dual-energy X-ray (DXA) and quantitative computed tomography (QCT). Based on traditional bone density detection equipment, the newly developed imaging detection technology can further detect the microstructures and geometric features of bones, providing important reference for exploring the pathophysiological changes, sensitive clinical diagnosis, and disease monitoring of osteoporosis.

Malnutrition in CF now includes an increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity, particularly in those receiving CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator therapy (CFTRm). We aimed to characterise peripheral muscle function and body composition in pwCF on Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ETI) CFTRm, compared to healthy controls.
