Osteoporosis Linked To Age-related Changes In Circadian Rhythm

Listen to a blog summary of an editorial published in Volume 14, Issue 14 of Aging (Aging-US), entitled, "Restoring rhythm to prevent age-related fractures.” ________________________________ The circadian rhythm is a daily cycle (24 hours) of biological activity that is driven by an internal biological clock. A regular circadian rhythm is important for maintaining numerous facets of human life. Aging-related changes to this delicate rhythm have demonstrated negative consequences in many aspects of health, including bone health. “Among the many risk factors for osteoporosis, a new kid on the block is disruption of the biological clock.” On July 19, 2022, an editorial paper was published in Aging‘s Volume 14, Issue 14, entitled, “Restoring rhythm to prevent age-related fractures.” In this editorial, Annelies E. Smit, Maaike Schilperoort and Elizabeth M. Winter from Leiden University Medical Center discuss the treatment of osteoporosis by way of restoring the circadian rhythm. The researchers review the use of both medical and lifestyle interventions that aim to restore the circadian rhythm to minimize the risk of aging-related osteoporotic fractures.

Topics in Aging-US go beyond traditional gerontology, including, but not limited to, cellular and molecular biology, human age-related diseases, pathology in model organisms, signal transduction pathways (e.g., p53, sirtuins, and PI-3K/AKT/mTOR, among others), and approaches to modulating these signaling pathways.
