Introduction
Hematopoietic stemcell transplantation (HSCT) isa thera-peuticmodalityusedtotreatmalignantorbenigndiseases. Scientific advances have allowedan increasing number of transplantsand longer disease-free survival.Consequently, thereisanincrementinpost-transplantcomorbidities sec-ondarytothedisease,conditioningregimenorcomplications, suchasgraft-versus-hostdisease(GVHD). Changes inbone mineraldensity(BMD)mayoccurduetotheuseof glucocor-ticoids,reduced physicalactivity,lowexposuretosunlight, reductioninleanbodymass,andvitaminDdeficiency.These changes are observed as early as the first months after HSCToraslateastenyearsaftertheprocedure.1–4Recently,
sarcopeniahasbeen describedafterseveral typesof trans-plantssuchasliver,kidneyandlung,andmayinfluencethe outcome.5–8
Thetermsarcopeniacharacterizeslossoffunctionrelated to loss of skeletal muscle mass. It is denominated pre-sarcopeniawhenonlylossofmusclemassisdetected.The etiologyismultifactorial,butusuallyoccursdueto neurode-generative,endocrineorchronicdiseases,malnutritionorlack ofexercise,whichleadstomuscleatrophy.9AfterHSCT,the
associationofpre-sarcopeniaand sarcopeniawiththe pre-existingdiseasemayworsenthepatient’sbaselinecondition, increasingtherisk offractures,especially whenassociated withreductionsinBMD.Theearlydiagnosisofsarcopeniamay allowpreventiveand/orcurativetreatmentofthesepatients. Thisresearchevaluatedtheprevalenceofpre-sarcopeniaand changesinBMDinagroupofHSCTpatients.
Methods
Thisobservational,transversalstudyenrolledover18-year-old patients,regardlessofethnicbackgroundorsex,who under-wentallogeneicHSCTattheBoneMarrowTransplantUnitof theHospitaldeClinicas da UniversidadeFederaldoParaná (STMO-HC-UFPR).Thesamplewasselectedbyconvenience; patientswereinvitedtoparticipateduringtheirroutinevisit. Toavoidtheconsequencesofacutebonemarrow transplanta-tioncomplications,patientswhohadbeentransplantedless than one year previously were excluded, as were patients withadiagnosisofFanconianemia.Acontrolgroup(CG)was formedofhealthysubjectsmatchedwiththestudygroup(SG) bysex,age,ethnicbackground,andbodymassindex(BMI). Patientsand controls performeddual-energy X-ray absorp-tiometry(DXA)inawhole-bodyscanner(LunarProdigy;GE MedicalSystems,Madison,WI,USA)usedinconjunctionwith enCORE2002 software (GE Medical Systems) to assess the bodycomposition.Thesoftwareprovidesdataaboutleanbody mass(bone massplus fat-free mass), bone-free lean mass (leanmassminusfat-freemass),fatmass,andbonemineral density(BMD).Bloodsampleswerecollectedforbiochemical analysis,andareviewofhospitalrecordswascarriedoutto searchfordataregardingtheHSCT.
TheBMDoftotalbody,lumbarspine(LS),andfemur(neck andtotal)wereevaluatedwiththeresultsbeingcategorized asnormalorabnormalfollowingtheInternationalSocietyFor
ClinicalDensitometry(ISCD).10Thepercentageofleanmass
(%LM)andappendicularleanmass(ALM)werecalculated.
Diagnosisofpre-sarcopenia
Thediagnosisofpre-sarcopeniawasperformedconsidering threecriteriaavailableintheliterature.Patientswere cate-gorizedaccordingtoBMIasnormal(BMI<25kg/m2)orobese
(BMI>25kg/m2).AfterevaluatingtheALMandforthosewith
anormalBMI,thecriterionofBaumgartneretal.11wasused,
which defines the reductionofappendicular skeletal mus-clemassastwostandarddeviations(SDs)belowthemeanof younghealthycontrols,matchedwiththesameethnicgroup oftheNewMexicopopulation.Values<5.45forwomenand <7.26formenwereconsideredpositive.Forindividualswith BMI ≥25kg/m2, the diagnosis ofpre-sarcopenia was
calcu-latedbasedonthecriterionofDelmonicoetal.12Initially,a
linearregressionmodelwasadjustedforALM(kg)including height(m) andtotalfatmass(kg)asexplanatoryvariables. The residualsofthe regression were used toidentify indi-vidualswithaleanmasslowerthanthevaluepredictedfor a given fat mass (given by an equation derived from the model). A positive residual indicates a relatively muscular individual,whereasanegativeresidualindicatesanindividual withsarcopenia.Theequationsderivedfromthemodelwere the following: formales –ALM(kg)=−30.54+30.88×height (m)+0.0823×total fat mass (kg); and for females – ALM (kg)=−12.45+15.79×height(m)+0.1081×totalfatmass(kg). The20thpercentileofthedistributionofresidualswasused asthecut-offpointforthediagnosisofsarcopeniaaccording totheALMadjustedforfatmassaspreviouslydefined.Inthis patientsample,thecut-offpointcorrespondedtoresidualsof −2.021formenand−1.082forwomen.
Finally, theALM/BMIcriterionofTheFoundationforthe NationalInstituteofHealth(FNIH)wasused,andthevalues of<0.789formenand<0.512forwomenwereconsidered pre-sarcopenia.13

Results
Thesamplewasinitiallycomposedofthe first100patients (SG) who agreed to participateand who met the selection criteria. Asthreepatients didnotperform bone densitom-etry, theywere excluded and the final samplesizewas 97 patients (n=52–53.6% male). Themean age was 37.4±12.7 years,withanaverageweightof70.1±14kg,meanheightof 1.67±0.09mandmean BMIof25±4.5kg/m2.Basedonthe

Discussion
This study evaluated lean mass, BMD, and food intake in patientsafterHSCTwiththeresultsshowingahighprevalence ofdecreasedBMDandpre-sarcopenia,especiallyinpatients withGVHDandlowlevelsofvitaminD.
Abnormal BMD was present in 25% of the SG, higher inwomen(40%),and similartothe prevalenceobservedin climactericwomenafterlivertransplantation(14.6%of osteo-porosisand35.4%oflowbonemass).18Variousmechanisms
explainchanges inbonemetabolismafterallogeneicHSCT such as the decreased bone formation related to the pre-HSCTconditioningregimen,aswellasmedicationssuchas cyclosporine and glicocorticoides,19 besides the severity of
the underlyingdisease,that cancompromisebonemineral densityandmusclestrength.20,21 Nevertheless,inthisstudy
neithertheunderlyingdiseasenortheuseofglucocorticoids oranyvariablerelatedtotheHSCTwascorrelatedtotheBMD. AnotherfactorthatmayexplainthehigherprevalenceofBMD changesinwomenisthattheuseofalkylatingagentssuch ascyclophosphamide,methotrexate,and busulfam,withor withoutovarianradiation,leadstoprematureovarianfailure, asnotedin18patientsinthisstudy.Bothchemotherapyand radiotherapyinunder20-year-oldwomenareassociatedwith ahigherprevalenceofearlymenopause:42%ofpatientsby age31comparedto5%incontrols.22,23
TheSGpatientshadlowserumlevelsofvitaminDwith secondaryhyperparathyroidism,and60%ofpatientsreported sporadic sunexposurefollowingmedicaladvicetoprevent GVHDafterHSCT.24 ThishighprevalenceofvitaminD
defi-ciency (77.2%) is similar to that found inrenal transplant patients(79%),alsojustifiedbylowexposuretosun.25
Although the literature associates sarcopenia with advanced age, the patients in this study were young (37.4±12.7years)andpre-sarcopeniawaspresentin15–34%, whichcan havea greatimpact onthe quality oflife. Esti-mationsoftheprevalenceofsarcopeniavarywithage,from 30%inover65-yearoldstomorethan50%inthoseaged80 ormore.25Althoughfewdataareavailableontheprevalence
ofsarcopeniaintheBrazilianpopulation,itisclearthatthe studypopulationhad sarcopeniaatalower ageand itwas moreprevalent inthe firstfive yearsafter transplantation. Studiesonhumansandanimalshaveshownmusclewasting andcachexiarelatedtocancer27–29possiblyduetothe
oxida-tivestressandchronicinflammationimmediatelyafterHSCT. Inthisstudy,theexclusionofpatientswhounderwentHSCT lessthanoneyearpriortotheevaluationwasanattemptto eliminatetheimpactofacutecomplicationsofHSCTon sar-copeniaandBMD.Sarcopeniawasobservedin66.2%patients before liver transplantation, with 75% of patients without sarcopeniabeforethetransplantdevelopingthediseaseafter withinamean of 19.3±9months; no association between nutritional status and post-transplant factors such as the immunosuppressionregimenwereidentified.30Inthisstudy,
wedidnotfindanyrelationshipoftheconditioningregimen or the use of immunosuppression with the prevalence of sarcopenia.
The diagnostic criteria were concordant with a higher prevalenceofpre-sarcopeniaintheSG.However,themethod proposedbytheFINHprovedtobemoreconservativeinboth groups,comparedtotheBaungartnerand Delmonico crite-ria.Furthermore, the clinicalcorrelation observed between theseverityofGVHDandthediagnosisofpre-sarcopeniawas observedonlywiththeFNIHmethod,whichhasimportant clinicalrelevanceforthesepatients.
Conclusion
PatientsundergoingallogeneicHSCThadahigherprevalence ofBMDchangesandhigherpre-sarcopeniarateswhen com-paredtothecontrols.ConcerningthefactorsrelatedtoHSCT, thepresenceofsevere GVHDwasassociatedwithahigher prevalenceofpre-sarcopenia.
