Abstract

Summary

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor use in women was associated with lower femoral neck and lumbar spine bone mineral density as well as trabecular bone score compared to non-users. No differences were identified for men or for those who used ARB medications.

Purpose

Many individuals at high fracture risk use medications such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) that could affect bone; thus, this study aimed to investigate whether there are any differences in bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS) between ACEI users, ARB users, and non-users.

Methods

Participants (685 men, 573 women) were from the Geelong Osteoporosis Study. Current medication use was self-reported. BMD at the femoral neck (FNBMD) and lumbar spine (LSBMD) were measured using DXA. TBS was calculated using TBS iNsight software. Linear regression models were used to investigate associations between ACEI or ARB use and bone measures, adjusting for other potential confounders. Due to interaction terms, data were stratified by age.

Results

There were 88 (12.8%) men and 41 (7.2%) women taking an ACEI medication, and 71 (10.4%) men and 76 (13.3%) women taking an ARB medication. Compared to non-users, ACEI use was associated with lower FNBMD (− 7.2%), LSBMD (− 12.2%), and TBS (− 9.0%) for women aged < 65 years. Lower TBS was also observed for women aged ≥ 65 years (− 17.3%). No differences were identified for ARB use.

Conclusions

Women who used an ACEI medication had lower values for FNBMD, LSBMD and TBS compared to non-users. No differences were identified for men or for those who used ARB medications.
