Abstract. Background. Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a term used to classify a group of heterogeneous pediatric rheumatic diseases. Many of these conditions persist through adulthood. Presence of chronic inflammatory disease along with a glucocorticoid treatment is the risk factor of osteoporosis in young adult males. The purpose was to study the bone mineral density (BMD), T- and Z-scores in young adult males with JIA. Materials and methods. The study included 50 patients aged 19-25 years, divided into two groups: I — 25 apparently healthy young males; II — 25 young men from different regions of Ukraine with a history of JIA in childhood, regardless of the presence or absence of active inflammation at the time of the observation. Two-energy X-ray densitometry (Prodigy, GE Lunar, Madison, USA) was performed at the D.F. Chebotarev Institute of Gerontology, Ukrainian Scientific-Medical Centre for the Problems of Osteoporosis, together with analysis of BMD, T- and Z-scores at different skeletal areas. Results. Young men with JIA and healthy individuals did not differ in age, height, weight and body mass index. Four patients with JIA (16 %) had fractures, while in the control group, there were no fractures. Negative impact of the JIA on the BMD was found in group II compared to group I. Lumbar spine BMD in group II was lower (p < 0.01) than in healthy subjects, as well as the Z-score (p < 0.001) in the L1-L4 lumbar spine region. BMD, T- and Z-scores in femoral neck region were lower in group II than in group

I (p < 0.001; p < 0.001; p < 0.01, respectively). Significant differences between the two groups were found in total body BMD (p < 0.001), T-score (p < 0.01), Z-score (p < 0.05). Patients with JIA had lower BMD (p < 0.01) and T-score (p < 0.05) of the ultradistal radius. Decrease of BMD up to the level of osteopenia (Z-score < -2 SD) was found in 20 % patients at the level of L1-L4 lumbar spine, in 8 % — at femoral neck, in 12 % — at total body and in 8 % patients at the level of ultradistal radius. Conclusions. Young men with JIA aged 19-25 years had reduced total body BMD, T- and Z-scores, which indicate the negative impact of the disease on the bone tissue compared with healthy men of the corresponding age.

Introduction

Identifying the factors that affect the development of osteoporosis (OP) associated with low-energy fractures in women and young men is important not only for medical and preventive care, but also for society as a whole. Risk factors of early secondary OP include administration of some drugs (including glucocorticoids) and presence of chronic inflammatory diseases (endocrine, autoimmune, including systemic connective tissue diseases). It is important to study bone mineral density (BMD) in adults who have been diagnosed with inflammatory joint lesions in childhood — juvenile idiopathic arthritis. This disease includes different forms of arthritis of unknown etiology (other than rheumatoid arthritis), begins at the age

under 16, often continues in adulthood [1] and can affect the formation of BMD, due to a prolonged administration of glucocorticoids and chronic systemic inflammation. In previous studies, we examined BMD in women with JIA, where it was shown that the presence of JIA in childhood affects the formation of peak bone mass in female and leads to a decrease in BMD in adults requiring active monitoring and preventive therapy in childhood and, if necessary, adult treatment for prevention of osteoporotic complications [2, 3]. Diagnosis and treatment of OP in young people aged 20—45 years remain insufficiently studied. There are difficulties in the differentiation of young healthy people with low bone density that reflects low peak bone mass due to their mass and height, puberty period,

hereditary factors and environmental impact during growth [4—6]. Differential diagnosis may be complicated by the fact that 30 % of young women and 50 % of young men usually have had traumatic fractures in childhood and adolescence [7—11]. These fractures are associated with a decrease in bone mass and decrease in the formation of peak bone mass in healthy individuals [12]. It is known that the annual frequency of vertebral fractures in young patients (< 35 years) is 3 cases per 100.000 persons, with an increase of up to 21 cases in people aged 35—44 years, often associated with a trauma [13]. Difficulties in diagnosis of OP in young people appear due to several problems: 1) low bone mass and/or 2) presence of peripheral fractures which are not necessarily related to the fragility of the skeleton. It is known that OP develops less often in males than in females due to higher peak bone mass, larger diameter of long bones and lower rates of bone loss in men. The maximum frequency of osteoporotic fractures in men is registered 10 years later than in women, and the overall risk of osteoporotic fractures at age 50 is 39.7 % for women and 13.1 % for men [14]. In 2012, the Endocrine Society published the Clinical Practice Guidelines, which highlights the risk of OP developing in men [15]. According to these Guidelines, the following factors affect the male BMD: genetic and constitutional factors, heredity (low energy fractures suffered by the parents), low body mass index (< 20 kg/m2), a large hip axial length, lifestyle and dietary characteristics (insufficient calcium and vitamin D intake, smoking, alcohol abuse, low physical activity, prolonged immobilization), certain diseases (endo-

crine diseases, blood diseases, rheumatic diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, neurological diseases, organ transplantation, hypogonadism) and administration of certain drugs (glucocorticoids, thyroid drugs, anticoagulants, gonadotrophin releasing hormone agonists, anticonvulsants). In this light, it is interesting to study the bone status in young men with JIA.

Purpose: to study the bone mineral density, T- and Z-scores in young adult males with JIA.

Materials and methods

The study included 50 adult men aged 19—25 years, divided into two groups: I — 25 practically healthy young males; II — 25 young men with a history of JIA in childhood regardless of the presence or absence of active inflammation at the time of the observation. The second group included patients from different regions of Ukraine who have been diagnosed with the JIA during the period between 1984 and 2013. The inclusion criteria included patients with a diagnosis of JIA according to the classification criteria of ILAR, Durban 1997, Edmonton 2001 (Petty R.E. et al., 2004) [16]. The retrospective analysis of patients' medical records was made, the age of the disease onset, delay in diagnosis and received medical treatment were analyzed. In adulthood, all patients with JIA were examined by an adult rheumatologist on the basis of the Oleksandrivska City Clinical Hospital in Kyiv, Ukraine, between April 2015 and February 2017. Demographic and anthropometric data, duration of the disease, ILAR-variant in the onset of the disease were analyzed. All patients underwent dual-energy

X-ray absorptiometry at the SI "D.F. Chebotarev Institute of Gerontology NAMS of Ukraine", Ukrainian Scientific-Medical Centre for the Problems of Osteoporosis. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (Prodigy, GE Lunar, Madison, USA) was performed with analysis of BMD, T- and Z-scores at different skeletal areas.

Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, Student's criteria for unrelated variables, and oneway ANOVA dispersion analysis. We also used the software package Statistica 6.0 by Copyright StatSoft, Inc. 1984— 2001.

Results

The analysis of anthropometric data and bone tissue characteristics of young men with JIA and healthy individuals matched for age and sex, were carried out (table 1).

The I and II groups did not differ in age, height, weight and BMI. Low-energy fractures were found in 4 patients (16 %) in the the JIA group, while there were no patients with fractures in the control group. A negative impact of the JIA on the BMD was found in the II group compared to the I group. The lumbar spine (Lj—L4) BMD in the II group (1.052 ± 0.036 g/cm2) was lower (p < 0.01) than in the I group (1.255 ± 0.041 g/cm2), as well as the Z-score (p < 0.001) at the lumbar spine level. Femoral neck BMD in the II group was 0.942 ± 0.039 g/cm2 versus 1,128 ± 0.025 g/cm2 in the I group (p < 0.001), the T-score in this area in the II group was —0.98 ± 0.32 versus 0.46 ± 0.18 in healthy patients (p < 0.001), Z-score —0.64 ± 0.27 in the II group versus 0.33 ± 0.20 in the I group (p < 0.01). Significant differences between the two groups were found in total body BMD (p < 0,001), T-score (p < 0.01) and Z-score (p < 0.05). The ultradistal radius BMD in the II group was 0.987 ± 0.043 g/cm2 compared to the control group 1.136 ± 0.028 g/cm2 (p < 0.01), T-score (p < 0.05). Figure 1 shows the BMD, T- and Z-scores at different sites of the skeleton of young men with JIA and healthy individuals.

It is known that OP is diagnosed when the BMD is less than or equal to 2.5 standard deviations below that of a young (20—40 year-old), healthy adult women reference population (T-score < —2.5 SD) [17, 18]. However, low bone mass in children and adolescents is determined by BMD decrease by more than —2 SD compared to practically healthy people of the same age (Z-score < —2 SD) [19] and it is recommended to diagnose bone fragility not only on the basis of low bone density, but also due to presence of low-energy fractures [20]. BMD's decrease to a level of osteopenia (Z-score below —2 SD) was found in 5 (20 %) patients at Lt—L4, in 2 (8 %) patients at femoral neck, in 3 (12 %) patients at total body and in 2 (8 %) patients at ultradistal radius. According to the study made in 2012, osteoporosis of spine and femoral neck is diagnosed in young people with diseases that affect the bone tissue metabolism when T is < —2.5 SD, similar to postmenopausal women and men older than 50 years [6]. In our study, osteoporosis according to T-score was detected in 4 (16 %) patients at lumbar spine (Lt—L4), in 4 (16 %) patients at the level of femoral neck, 6 (24 %) patients at the level of total body and 2 (8 %) patients at ultra distal radius.

Discussion

It has been shown that young men with JIA aged 19—25 have reduced BMD at all areas of the skeleton, indicating the negative effect of the disease on the bone tissue in this category of patients compared to healthy men of the corresponding age. Unlike healthy people, whose peak bone mass is achieved in adolescence, patients with JIA had peak bone mass formation suppressed by direct and indirect mechanisms, namely due to the presence of inflammatory disease, drug therapy and immobilization.

In our study we did not take into account disease activity and its association with the BMD changes based on the results of V. Vasdev et al. [21] where it was shown that OP develops in young men with early ankylosing spondylitis, which is a chronic inflammatory disease like JIA. BMD does not depend on the activity of the disease and its total duration. According to the results of studies of the structural and functional state of bone tissue, OP was found in 1 % of men aged 20—29 years in Ukraine [22], however, in our study OP in patients with JIA was detected in 8—24 % of patients at different sites of the skeleton, which is significantly higher than in general population. Comparing similar data studies, osteopenic BMD reductions by the Z-score and T-score at the levels of Lt-L4, femoral neck, and ultradistal radius were found more frequently in young women with JIA [2], while osteopenia by T-score in total body was found in 24 % of observed men versus 15 % in women, according to our previous studies [3]. On the one hand, this difference may be due to a small group of male patients that are included in the study. On the other hand, the study of the National Health and Nutrition USA (NHANES) III, based on the results of the largest single studies of femoral neck BMD in adult men [23-26] proves that the peak of BMD at hip and lumbar spine is reached at the age of 20-30 years, while BMD peak of total body and ultradistal radius are reached in men after 30 years. This may explain why our group of patients who haven't reached the peak BMD yet, had higher rates of osteopenia. Therefore, our results should be interpreted with caution because the study included patients aged under 30, who may not have reached the peak BMD at the affected areas.

Our research has some limitations. First, it was a cross-sectional study, which limits the assessment of the natural course of JIA and prognostic factors of OP in the JIA. Secondly, the influence of drugs, including glucocorticoids and biological drugs, on the BMD was not taken into account. Previous studies showed that treatment, geographical origin and socio-economic differences may have effects on BMD at JIA.

Nevertheless, our study also has its strengths: this is the first study in Ukraine where BMD is studied in young adult males with JIA aged 19-25 years, and it is a controlled study with control group matching by age and gender.

Conclusion

Young men with JIA aged 19-25 years have a reduced total body BMD, T-, Z-score, which indicates the negative impact of the disease on the bone tissue compared to healthy men of the corresponding age.

Минеральная плотность костной ткани, показатели T и Z у молодых мужчин с ювенильным идиопатическим артритом

Резюме. Актуальность. Ювенильный идиопатический артрит (ЮИА) — это термин, используемый для обозначения группы гетерогенных педиатрических ревматических заболеваний. Многие из этих состояний персистиру-ют и в более зрелом возрасте. Наличие хронического воспалительного заболевания наряду с лечением глюкокор-тикоидами является фактором риска остеопороза у молодых мужчин. Целью работы было изучение минеральной плотности костной ткани (МПКТ), показателей T и Z у молодых мужчин с ЮИА. Материалы и методы. Исследование включало 50 пациентов в возрасте 19—25 лет, разделенных на две группы: I — 25 практически здоровых молодых мужчин; II — 25 молодых мужчин из разных регионов Украины, у которых в детстве диагностирован ЮИА, независимо от наличия или отсутствия активного воспаления во время наблюдения. Двухэнергетическая рентгеновская денситометрия (Prodigy, GE Lunar, Madison, США) была проведена в Институте геронтологии им. Д.Ф. Чеботарева, Украинском научно-медицинском центре проблем остеопороза наряду с анализом МПКТ, показателей T и Z в различных частях скелета. Результаты. Молодые пациенты с ЮИА и здоровые мужчины не отличались по возрасту, росту, весу и индексу массы тела. У 4 пациентов с ЮИА (16 %) были переломы, тогда как в контрольной группе их не отмечалось. Отрицательное

воздействие ЮИА на МПКТ было обнаружено во II группе в отличие от первой. МПКТ поясничного отдела позвоночника во II группе была ниже (р < 0,01), чем у здоровых субъектов, как и показатель Z (р < 0,001) на уровне L1—L4 поясничного отдела позвоночника. МПКТ, индексы Т и Z в области шейки бедренной кости были ниже во II группе, чем в первой (р < 0,001; р < 0,001; р < 0,01 соответственно). Значительные различия между двумя группами были обнаружены в отношении общей МПКТ (р < 0,001), показателей Т (р < 0,01) и Z (р < 0,05). У пациентов с ЮИА более низкими были МПКТ (р < 0,01) и индекс Т (р < 0,05) в ультрадистальной области лучевой кости. Снижение МПКТ до уровня остеопении (показатель Z < —2 SD) было обнаружено у 20 % пациентов на уровне L1—L4 поясничного отдела позвоночника, у 8 % — в области шейки бедренной кости, у 12 % — всего организма и у 8 % пациентов — в ультрадистальной области лучевой кости. Выводы. У молодых мужчин с ЮИА в возрасте 19—25 лет отмечается снижение общей МПКТ, показателей Т и Z, что указывает на отрицательное воздействие заболевания на костную ткань по сравнению со здоровыми мужчинами соответствующего возраста.

Багато з цих сташв персистують i в бшьш зр1лому вiцi. Наявнiсть хрошчного запального захворю-вання разом iз л^ванням глюкокортико!дами е фактором ризику остеопорозу в молодих чоловМв. Метою роботи було вивчення мшерально! щiльностi шстково! тканини (МЩКТ), показнишв T i Z у молодих чоловь кiв з Ю1А. Матерiали та методи. Дослщження включало 50 пащенпв вiком 19—25 рошв, розподiлених на двi групи: I — 25 практично здорових молодих чоловь шв; II — 25 молодих чоловМв iз рiзних репошв Укра!-ни, у яких у дитинствi дiагностований Ю1А, незалеж-но вщ наявностi або вiдсутностi активного запалення пщ час спостереження. Двохенергетична рентгешвська денситометр1я (Prodigy, GE Lunar, Madison, США) була проведена в 1нституп геронтологи iм. Д.Ф. Чеботарьова, Укра!нському науково-медичному центрi проблем остеопорозу разом з аналiзом МЩКТ, показнишв T i Z у рiзних частинах скелета. Результати. Молодi пащен-ти з Ю1А та здоровi чоловiки не вiдрiзнялися за вшом, ростом, вагою й шдексом маси т1ла. У 4 пащенпв з Ю1А (16 %) були переломи, тодi як у контрольны групi !х не

вiдзначалося. Негативний вплив Ю1А на МЩКТ було виявлено в II груш на вщмшу вiд першо!. МЩКТ попе-рекового вiддiлу хребта в II груш була нижчою (p < 0,01), шж у здорових суб'екпв, як i показник Z (p < 0,001) на рiвнi L1—L4 поперекового вiддiлу хребта. МЩКТ, шдек-си T i Z в дшянщ шийки стегново! кiстки були нижчими в II груш, шж у першш (p < 0,001; p < 0,001; p < 0,01 вщ-повiдно). Значнi вщмшносл мiж двома групами були ви-явленi щодо загально! МЩКТ (p < 0,001), показникiв T (p < 0,01) i Z (p < 0,05). У пащенпв з Ю1А нижчими були МЩКТ (p < 0,01) й iндекс T (p < 0,05) в ультрадисталь-нiй дiлянцi променево! кiстки. Зниження МЩКТ до рiв-ня остеопени (показник Z < —2 SD) було виявлено у 20 % пащенпв на рiвнi L1—L4 поперекового вщдшу хребта, у 8 % — в дшянщ шийки стегново! шстки, у 12 % — всьо-го оргашзму i у 8 % пащенпв — в ультрадистальнш да-лянцi променево! шстки. Висновки. У молодих чоловь шв з Ю1А вiком 19—25 рошв вщзначаеться зниження загально! МЩКТ, показнишв T i Z, що вказуе на негативний вплив захворювання на шсткову тканину порiвняно зi здоровими чоловiками вiдповiдного вшу.
