Increased frequency of impaired fasting glucose and isolated systolic hypertension in Paget’s disease of bone

Abstract

Purpose

Scanty data about glucose metabolism and hypertension have been reported in Paget's disease of bone (PDB) to be related with increased cardiovascular mortality. The aim of the present study was to evaluate glucose and blood pressure levels in PDB, looking for their association with disease severity.

Methods

We performed an observational cross-sectional study in 54 patients with PDB and 54 age, sex and BMI-matched controls. Glucose and blood pressure levels and parameters of bone and mineral metabolism were assessed.

Results

Patients with PDB showed increased glucose levels (6.3 ± 1.7 vs 5.3 ± 1.4 mmol/l, p < 0.001) and prevalence of impaired fasting glucose (14.8%, 5.3–24.3 vs 1.9%, 0–5.4, p < 0.02) as well as enhanced systolic blood pressure (145.9 ± 21.3 vs 132.9 ± 18.9 mmHg, p < 0.005), pulse pressure (69.6 ± 20.0 vs 56.0 ± 16.9 mmHg, p < 0.01) and prevalence of isolated systolic hypertension (46.3%, 33.0–59.6 vs 16.7%, 6.7–26.6, p < 0.003) in comparison to controls. Moreover, we found a positive association of (1) glucose levels with ionized calcium and bone alkaline phosphatase; (2) both systolic and pulse pressure with total and bone alkaline phosphatase (p < 0.05). By multiple linear regression analysis (R2 = 0.26; p < 0.05) serum ionized calcium correlated with glucose levels (β = 0.44; p < 0.04), after adjusting for age and BMI.

Conclusions

Our study shows increased fasting glucose, systolic and pulse pressure levels as well as enhanced prevalence of impaired fasting glucose and isolated systolic hypertension in PDB, potentially accounting for increased cardiovascular mortality. Furthermore, our findings suggest high serum calcium and/or increased bone alkaline phosphatase as a link between PDB and cardio-metabolic disorders.
