Introduction:
Osteoporosis patients undergoing surgery often have significant bleeding, which is closely related to coagulation function. This study aimed to assess the correlation between bone turnover markers (BTMs), bone mineral density (BMD), and coagulation biomarkers.
Material And Methods:
Cases meeting the inclusion criteria were included from our center from January 2020 to December 2021. The relationships between coagulation biomarkers, BTMs, and BMD were investigated by Spearman correlation analysis and canonical correlation analysis (CCA). Consequently, age, bone mass stage, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-(OH)D), and BMD were included as independent variables in the logistic regression model. Furthermore, the international normalized ratio (INR), fibrinogen, platelets, and D-dimer levels were set as dependent variables in the regression analysis. Finally, multivariable regressions were conducted to adjust for differences in demographics and comorbidities among groups.
Results:
A total of 306 patients were included in the study. Significant differences were observed in prothrombin time, fibrinogen, INR, D-dimer, and platelets (p < 0.05). D-dimer exhibited the most significant positive association with age and the most pronounced negative correlation with the BMD of Ward's triangle (r = 0.322, p < 0.001; r = -0.298, p < 0.001; respectively). 25-(OH)D and calcium were related to coagulation biomarkers. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that age was positively associated with D-dimer levels (odd ratio [OR] = 1.046, p = 0.007), while the BMD of Ward's triangle was negatively related to D-dimer levels (OR = 0.004, p = 0.0017).
Conclusions:
For the Chinese population aged 50 and above, attention should be paid to alterations in coagulation biomarkers.

01:29Bone 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...

Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...

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...
