Abstract
Osteoporosis is highly prevalent in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and has been related to several clinical features. However, most studies have been in relatively small COPD cohorts. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to compare bone attenuation measured on low-dose chest computed tomography (CT) between COPD subjects and smoker and nonsmoker controls, and to relate bone attenuation to clinical parameters, inflammatory biomarkers, and outcomes in a large, well-characterized COPD cohort. We studied 1634 COPD subjects, 259 smoker controls, and 186 nonsmoker controls who participated in a large longitudinal study (ECLIPSE). We measured bone attenuation, extent of emphysema, and coronary artery calcification (Agatston score) on baseline CT scans, and clinical parameters, inflammatory biomarkers, and outcomes. Bone attenuation was lower in COPD subjects compared with smoker and nonsmoker controls (164.9 ± 49.5 Hounsfield units [HU] versus 183.8 ± 46.1 HU versus 212.1 ± 54.4 HU, p
