Pituitary Diseases and Bone
Open accessAbstract
Neuroendocrinology of bone is a new area of research based on the evidence that pituitary hormones may directly modulate bone remodeling and metabolism. Skeletal fragility associated with high risk of fractures is a common complication of several pituitary diseases such as hypopituitarism, Cushing disease, acromegaly, and hyperprolactinemia. As in other forms of secondary osteoporosis, pituitary diseases generally affect bone quality more than bone quantity, and fractures may occur even in the presence of normal or low-normal bone mineral density as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, making difficult the prediction of fractures in these clinical settings. Treatment of pituitary hormone excess and deficiency generally improves skeletal health, although some patients remain at high risk of fractures, and treatment with bone-active drugs may become mandatory. The aim of this review is to discuss the physiological, pathophysiological, and clinical insights of bone involvement in pituitary diseases.
Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
Pituitary hormone excess or deficiency commonly causes skeletal fragility, often with fractures despite normal or low-normal bone mineral density by DXA. This narrative review synthesizes mechanisms and clinical evidence across acromegaly, prolactinoma, Cushing disease, TSH-oma, and hypopituitarism, emphasizing morphometric vertebral assessment and the limits of BMD for fracture prediction.
Key findings
- Vertebral fractures are a frequent complication of pituitary diseases; DXA does not reliably predict fracture risk, and morphometric vertebral assessment is currently the mainstay for skeletal evaluation.
- In acromegaly, the overall median prevalence of vertebral fractures is ~40%, with fracture risk threefold to eightfold higher than controls; a prospective study found incident vertebral fractures in 42% of patients over 3 years, related to active disease and duration.
- In prolactinoma, radiological vertebral fractures occurred in 32.6% of women (25/78) and 37.5% of men; 80% of male patients had osteopenia or osteoporosis at the lumbar spine, whereas only 30% had low femoral neck BMD.
- In Cushing disease, DXA osteoporosis prevalence is 28% to 50%, fracture prevalence 15% to 50%, and morphometric vertebral fracture prevalence 78%; in growth hormone deficiency, fracture risk is twofold to fivefold higher, more than 60% of adults had vertebral fractures in one study, and after 6 years untreated GHD had a sevenfold higher risk of vertebral fractures than treated GHD.
Methods
- Narrative review of physiological, pathophysiological, and clinical literature on bone involvement in pituitary diseases, including hypopituitarism, Cushing disease, acromegaly, and hyperprolactinemia.
- Synthesizes experimental, observational, cross-sectional, prospective, and meta-analytic evidence; includes tables of studies evaluating fragility fractures and bone structure in acromegaly, prolactinoma, Cushing disease, and hypopituitarism.
- No new primary patient data or systematic review methodology are reported.
Limitations
- Stated: no specific guidelines have been published on monitoring skeletal health in pituitary diseases, so monitoring cannot be evidence based; no randomized controlled trials evaluate rhGH effects on fracture risk; no studies have tested antiosteoporotic drugs in acromegaly; clinical relevance of IGFBP skeletal effects and FSH effects in humans remains unclear.
- Evident from the text: as a narrative review, it does not use a systematic search or formal meta-analysis, and many cited fracture studies are cross-sectional or retrospective, with heterogeneous designs and endpoints.
- Evident from the text: DXA limitations are repeatedly noted, including inability to capture bone quality, microstructure, and compartment-specific changes, which affects fracture prediction in these populations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-28, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-28 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
