INTRODUCTION: Secondary hyperparathyroidism sometimes is lacking despite authentic vitamin D insufficiency (VDI) and the concept of functional hypoparathyroidism with a protective role on bone status has been proposed. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that its prevalence was very low in a population of women with a peripheral fragility fracture.
METHODS: We conducted our study in postmenopausal women, admitted for such a fracture in our Fracture Liaison Service. All had bone mineral density (BMD), biochemical assessment and a medical visit.
RESULTS: Two hundred and thirty seven women (72.9±11.6-year-old) were included and 90.4% had VDI (25[OH]D≤30 ng/mL). Yet, 87.9% of the latter had normal PTH levels less or equal to 64 ng/L. In this population with VDI (n=214), we found no PTH plateau level related to 25(OH)D. Since a recent study reported an increase in the risk of fracture only when 25(OH)D was below 15 ng/mL, we then used this value as a new threshold. We observed a significant difference in hip BMD between patients with 25(OH)D either less or equal to or greater than 15 ng/mL. However, 81.2% of the formers were still with normal PTH with no difference in BMD whether PTH level was above or within normal range.
CONCLUSION: In a population of postmenopausal women with a fragility fracture, we found that 25(OH)D less or equal to 15 ng/mL was associated with significantly lower hip BMD. Even using this low threshold, we found a high prevalence of functional hypoparathyroidism and it was not associated with any difference in hip or spine BMD. Overall, our results do not support the hypothesis of a protective effect of this biological profile.
