Detailed Description

Exploratory study involving functional explorations in longitudinal follow-up, initiated in parallel with a treatment indicated in the patient's usual care and management.

The main objective is the evaluation of the evolution of the vascular and endothelial function.

The secondary objectives are:

  1. To study the evolution of cardiovascular parameters,
  2. To study the evolution of sarcopenia,
  3. To study the evolution of quality of life and pain,
  4. To study the evolution of bone remodeling (by creating a collection of biological samples),
  5. To study the genetic predisposition of osteoporosis including the confirmation of known genetic markers and the potential identification of new genetic variants involved (by creating a biobank),
  6. To study epigenetic biomarkers in the osteoporosis patient population (by creating a biobank),
  7. To study the role of the microbiota in osteoporosis patients (by creating a biobank),
  8. To study the determinants of the evolution of the studied parameters and to identify trajectories (therapeutic response profiles).

As part of their usual care and management, patients will be diagnosed with osteoporosis and prescribed anti-osteoporotic drugs.

The patients will have six visits: a pre-selection visit that will take place in the Rheumatology Department of the Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital and five visits that will take place in the Clinical Investigation Platform/Clinical Investigation Center (PIC/CIC) Inserm 1405 of the Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital.

Visit 0 - Screening visit and diagnosis of osteoporosis T0-1: Rheumatology Department

During this visit, the investigator physician will perform various examinations and tests usually performed as part of the patient's usual care and management in order to establish a diagnosis of osteoporosis.

These examinations are as follows:

  • Bone densitometry less than one year old using Dual energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA),
  • Bone biological assessment, including the following tests: Complete Blood Count (CBC), platelets, C-Reactive Protein (CRP), urea, creatinine with CKD-EPI clearance calculation, liver enzymes (AST, ALT), serum calcium, serum calcium corrected by albumin, serum phosphorus, serum protein electrophoresis, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), 25 OH vitamin D, serum CTX (C-terminal telopeptides of type 1 collagen).

Some patients who require profile radiographs of the spine will have this examination added for the consultation, especially for the evaluation of vertebral fractures if the context justifies it. Other patients will also have these x-rays for the calculation of the abdominal aortic calcification score (Kauppila score) by the rheumatologist.

Body composition will be requested during the bone densitometry evaluation on the DXA machine.

Once the diagnosis of osteoporosis is confirmed, the physician will propose to the eligible patients to participate in this research protocol by explaining the objectives and the course of the study, and give them an information note in order to give them a necessary time of reflection of a maximum of one month, depending on the scheduling of the inclusion visit.

If patients are interested,the investigator physician will prescribe osteoporotic treatment to be started after the V1 (T0) inclusion visit.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Endothelial dysfunction measured by FMD (Flow-Mediated Dilation) in patients with anti-osteoporotic treatment
Time Frame: Visit 1: Day 0
FMD is a non-invasive technique. It was assessed using an ultrasound approach with a high-resolution linear array transducer coupled with computer-assisted analysis software. With this software, changes in the brachial artery could be assessed in real-time through an automated edge detection system. Longitudinal images of the brachial artery were obtained with the transducer fixed on the medial aspect of the dominant arm, approximately 2 cm above the medial epicondyle of the humerus. The transducer was fixed on the arm by a special arm-holding device. The brachial artery diameter was acquired as per a 30 s baseline measure, after which a cuff was placed around forearm (3 cm above wrist) and inflated to 250 mm Hg for 5 min. After cuff deflation, the brachial artery diameter was continuously monitored for 2-4 min to detect the peak artery diameter. FMD was determined as the percentage change in diameter from baseline to peak arterial diameter.

Microcirculation measurement by FLD (Flow Laser Doppler), PeriFlux® (Perimed)
Time Frame: Visit 1: Day 0
The Flowmetry by Laser Doppler (FLD) is a non-invasive and validated technique for continuous measurement of the endothelial dependent reactivity in local microcirculation. The flow estimated by this technique is based on the assessment of the Doppler shift of low-power laser light, which is scattered by moving red blood cells. Vascular endothelial function in the micro-vascular compartment is assessed using the laser-doppler system PeriFlux 5010 (Perimed) at the level of the skin of the hands by following the response to a reactive hyperemia induced by a temporary occlusion of the brachial artery (same stimulus as for FMD measurement).
Visit 1: Day 0
Sphygmocor CPV® (Atcor Medical) large artery stiffness measurement (PWV)
Time Frame: Visit 1: Day 0
The carotid-femoral Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) is an established index of arterial stiffness. Pulse, which travels at a higher velocity in stiff arterial vessels, is calculated from measurements of pulse transit time and the distance travelled between the 2 considered recording sites (i.e., carotid artery and femoral artery). The measurements are performed using a validated non-invasive device (SphygmoCor; AtCor Medical Pty. Ltd.) that allows online pulse wave recording and automatic PWV calculation [PWV = distance (m)/transit time (s)].

Strength, Assistance with walking, Rising from a chair, Climbing stairs, and Falls (SARC-F) questionnaire
Time Frame: Visit 1: Day 0
Consists of 5 questions and a score higher than 4 suggests the presence of sarcopenia (or age-related muscular dystrophy). On the other hand, if the score is less than or equal to 3, the patient is diagnosed as "non-sarcopenic" but tests must be repeated regularly in clinical practice.
Visit 1: Day 0
Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) Questionnaire
Time Frame: Visit 1: Day 0
The Short Physical Performance Battery is the sum of the scores on three criteria: the balance test, the walking speed test and the chair lift test. This test is used to evaluate the physical performance of an individual. Adding the scores of all the tests gives an overall performance score. A score below 8 is an indicator of risk of sarcopenia (0-6 low performance 7-9, intermediate; 10-12 high).
Visit 1: Day 0
Evaluation of the muscular strength
Time Frame: Visit 1: Day 0
A dynamometer measures grip strength, which decreases with age and is associated with more sarcopenia and cardiovascular comorbidities. The dynamometer is held in the dominant hand, in a sitting position, elbow bent at 90°, shoulders relaxed and forearm in a neutral position. The measurement is taken twice and the highest value is retained. Muscle strength is low when the grip strength is less than 27kg for men or 16kg for women.
Visit 1: Day 0
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
Time Frame: Visit 1: Day 0

The PSQI is a self-administered questionnaire with 19 items. It was developed to measure sleep quality in the month prior to the patient interview. This questionnaire includes 7 components: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, hypnotic medication use and daytime dysfunction.

The global score (0 to 21) is obtained by adding the sub-scores of the 7 components, each ranging from 0 to 3 points. In the absence of an answer to one or more questions, the subtotal using this question cannot be calculated and will affect the overall score.

The higher the overall score, the greater the impairment in sleep quality. An overall score >5 is an indicator of sleep disturbance.

The 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36)
Time Frame: Visit 1: Day 0
The quality of life of patients is assessed by the general questionnaire 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) which can be administered by self or hetero-questionnaire. The SF-36 questionnaire was developed from the Medical Outcome Study, a 149-item questionnaire that was developed to assess how the American healthcare system affects the outcome of care. The SF-36 questionnaire is composed of 36 items and makes it possible to assess the physical and mental health of an individual using eleven questions relating to eight aspects of health: Physical activity, limitations due to physical state, physical pain, perceived health, vitality, life and relationship with others, limitations due to the mental state and mental health. Scores between 0 and 100 are determined. Scores tending towards 100 indicate a better quality of life.
Visit 1: Day 0
The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD)
Time Frame: Visit 1: Day 0

It is a self-administered questionnaire completed by the patient and based on the Hamilton scale. The HAD scale is a tool for screening for anxiety and depressive disorders. It includes 14 items rated from 0 to 3. Seven questions relate to anxiety (total A) and seven others to the depressive dimension (total D), thus making it possible to obtain two scores (maximum score for each score = 21).

To screen for anxiety and depressive symptomatology, the following interpretation can be proposed for each of the scores (A and D): ≤ 7: normal case; 8 to 10: borderline case; ≥ 11: abnormal case.

SPPB Questionnaire
Time Frame: Visit 2: Day 0+1 year
The Short Physical Performance Battery is the sum of the scores on three criteria: the balance test, the walking speed test and the chair lift test. This test is used to evaluate the physical performance of an individual. Adding the scores of all the tests gives an overall performance score. A score below 8 is an indicator of risk of sarcopenia (0-6 low performance 7-9, intermediate; 10-12 high).

Evaluation of the muscular strength
Time Frame: Visit 2: Day 0+1 year
A dynamometer measures grip strength, which decreases with age and is associated with more sarcopenia and cardiovascular comorbidities. The dynamometer is held in the dominant hand, in a sitting position, elbow bent at 90°, shoulders relaxed and forearm in a neutral position. The measurement is taken twice and the highest value is retained. Muscle strength is low when the grip strength is less than 27kg for men or 16kg for women.

Body composition measurement on Dual energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA)
Time Frame: Preselection visit V0: Day 0-1 month (D0-1)
Body composition analysis by DXA, and quantification of appendicular muscle mass, is the reference method for the diagnosis of sarcopenia. It consists of measuring the appendicular skeletal mass (ASM), i.e. the muscle mass of the upper and lower limbs, or the ASM index (ASMI = ASM/height2). Sarcopenia is confirmed when the MSA is less than 20kg in men and 15kg in women or when the ASMI is less than 7kg/m2 in men and 5.5kg/m2 in women.

The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
Time Frame: Visit 2: Day 0+1 year

The PSQI is a self-administered questionnaire with 19 items. It was developed to measure sleep quality in the month prior to the patient interview. This questionnaire includes 7 components: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, hypnotic medication use and daytime dysfunction.

The global score (0 to 21) is obtained by adding the sub-scores of the 7 components, each ranging from 0 to 3 points. In the absence of an answer to one or more questions, the subtotal using this question cannot be calculated and will affect the overall score.

The higher the overall score, the greater the impairment in sleep quality. An overall score >5 is an indicator of sleep disturbance.

The Brief Pain Inventory Questionnaire (BPI)
Time Frame: Visit 1: Day 0

This self-assessment scale allows the patient to characterize the pain in terms of its intensity and its psychosocial repercussions by means of 11 scales rated from 0 (no pain or does not bother) to 10 (the most horrible pain you can imagine or completely bothers you).

The QCD also asks the patient to black out the painful areas on a diagram (front and back) and to put an "S" if the pain is on the surface or a "P" if it is deep. The questionnaire also asks the patient to indicate what treatment or medication he or she is taking for the pain and what percentage improvement has been obtained.
