Objective:
To systematically assess the association between osteoporosis and cognitive impairment, and to provide new light on the prevention of cognitive impairment in patients with osteoporosis.
Method:
A comprehensive research of Embase, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, Wangfang Data and VIP was performed from inception to January 2022, using the search term 'osteoporosis' and 'cognitive impairment'. Literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation were conducted by two reviewers independently, and meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.4 software.
Results:
A total of 8 studies (136222 participants) were included. Meta-analysis showed that patients with osteoporosis had an increased risk of cognitive impairment [OR=2.01, 95% CI(1.63-2.48), P<0.01]. This initial meta-analysis had significant heterogeneity, and subgroup analysis suggested that potential heterogeneity in different study types, age and outcome indicators.
Conclusion:
Patients with osteoporosis are at increased risk of cognitive impairment, and osteoporosis intervention could prevent or delay the onset of cognitive impairment for those at risk.

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in the process of bone remodeling. Retinoic acid, the active metabolite of Vitamin A, has nuclear receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are involved in bone remodeling.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor during the formation of osteoblast-related proteins, such as osteocalcin. Vitamin B12 plays a role...
