  •   Objective  To investigate the influence of sarcopenia on bone mass loss, the risk factors for bone mass loss in liver cirrhosis, and the correlation between body composition and bone mineral density (BMD) by comparing the clinical features of bone mass loss in patients with liver cirrhosis.  Methods  A total of 92 patients who were hospitalized and diagnosed with liver cirrhosis in Department of Gastroenterology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, from April to December of 2022 were enrolled, and based on the results of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, they were divided into bone mass loss group (osteopenia/osteoporosis) with 57 patients and normal bone mass group with 35 patients. The two groups were compared in terms of general data, laboratory examination, imaging data, and body composition analysis. The independent samples t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test or the continuity correction chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups; Pearson correlation analysis and Spearman correlation analysis were used to investigate correlation; a binary logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the risk factors for bone mass loss in liver cirrhosis.  Results  Compared with the normal bone mass group, the bone mass loss group had significantly higher age (t=-3.597, P<0.05), proportion of female patients (χ2=8.393, P<0.05), N-terminal middle molecular fragment of osteocalcin (N-MID) (Z=-3.068, P<0.05), β isomer of C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (β-CTX) (t=-2.784, P<0.05), and proportion of patients with sarcopenia (χ2=13.884, P<0.05) and significantly lower calcitonin (CT) (Z=-2.340, P<0.05) and L3 skeletal muscle index (L3-SMI) (t=4.621, P<0.05). Compared with the normal bone mass group, the bone mass loss group had significantly lower total muscle mass (Z=-2.952, P<0.05), right upper limb muscle mass (Z=-2.929, P<0.05), left upper limb muscle mass (Z=-2.680, P<0.05), right lower limb muscle mass (Z=-3.366, P<0.05), left lower limb muscle mass (Z=-3.374, P<0.05), presumed bone mass (t=2.842, P<0.05), body water mass (Z=-2.779, P<0.05), basal metabolic rate (BMR) (Z=-3.153, P<0.05), and BMD of L1— L4 and femoral neck (t=9.789, t=10.280, t=10.832, Z=-7.298, t=8.945, all P<0.05). Total muscle mass, muscle mass of trunk and limbs, presumed bone mass, BMR, and body water mass in body component analysis were positively correlated with L1 — L4 BMD and femoral neck BMD (all P<0.05), and fat mass was positively correlated with L1 — L4 BMD (all P<0.05). Sarcopenia (odds ratio [OR]=8.737, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.237 — 34.129, P=0.002), age (OR=1.094, 95%CI: 1.019 — 1.175, P=0.013), and N-MID (OR=1.095, 95%CI: 1.019 — 1.176, P=0.014) were independent risk factors for bone mass loss in patients with liver cirrhosis.  Conclusion  Old age, female sex, sarcopenia, elevated N-MID, elevated β-CTX, reduction in CT, low muscle mass, low presumed bone mass, low BMR, and low body water mass are the features of bone mass loss in patients with liver cirrhosis, and sarcopenia, age, and N-MID are independent risk factors for bone mass loss in patients with liver cirrhosis. Detailed assessment of body composition changes can help to identify abnormal BMD in patients with liver cirrhosis.
