Purpose: To investigate bone mineral deficit in children survivors of childhood acute leukemia and analyze the association of IGF-1 with BMD status Methods : A total 214 patients (aged 8.47±4.42 for girls and 8.31±4.09 for boys at diagnosis) who were treated for acute leukemia were retrospectively reviewed. Types of leukemia, transplantation, and radiation therapy were investigated. Standard deviation scores (SDSs) of height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and lumbar spine BMD were measured at the end of treatment. Lumbar spine BMD was measured using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Its relationships with calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, bone specific alkaline phosphatase, calcitriol, parathyroid hormone, growth hormone, IGF-1, and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) were analyzed. Low BMD was defined lumbar spine BMD SDS less than -2.0 according to International Society for Clinical Densitometry guideline. Results: The overall prevalence of low BMD was found to be 15% (32/214). Age at diagnosis, transplantation, and radiation therapy were not significantly different between low BMD and normal BMD groups, however, BMI SDS and IGF-1 SDS were different between those two groups (-0.84±1.94 vs. 0.17±2.09, P = 0.012; -1.23 ±0.82 vs. -0.72 ± 0.78, P = 0.001, respectively). Correlation analysis showed that IGF-1 SDS is associated with BMI SDS and lumbar spine BMD SDS (rho=0.19, P=0.006; rho=0.248, P=0.001, respectively). Lumbar spine BMD SDS was related to BMI SDS and IGF-1 SDS by multivariate linear regression analysis (β = 0.15, P = 0.003; β = 0.31, P = 0.021, respectively). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher IGF-1 SDS was associated with a decreased of prevalence of low BMD (odds ratio: 0.42, 95% confidence interval: 0.24-0.75, P = 0.003). Conclusion: IGF-1 SDS was related to BMD, especially lumbar spine BMD, and a risk of prevalence of low BMD in children and adolescents. IGF-1 SDS seems to be a good tool for evaluating and predicting osteoporosis in children and adolescents. Presentation: Friday, June 16, 2023
