The prevalence and treatment rate trends of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
<h4>Background</h4>To evaluate the prevalence and treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis in recent years, analyze differences between the prevalence diagnosed by physicians and the prevalence detected by bone mineral density (BMD), and observe the trends of prevalence and tr...

| description | <h4>Background</h4>To evaluate the prevalence and treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis in recent years, analyze differences between the prevalence diagnosed by physicians and the prevalence detected by bone mineral density (BMD), and observe the trends of prevalence and treatment rate of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women over time are of great value for the management of osteoporosis.<h4>Methods</h4>This cross-sectional study collected the data of 4012 postmenopausal women from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005 to 2010, 2013 to 2014 and 2017 to 2018. The prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia as well as the treatment rate of osteoporosis were analyzed using Mann-Kendall trend test. Subgroup analysis was conducted in different age, race, body mass index (BMI), diabetes, hypertension, or glucocorticoid use groups.<h4>Results</h4>The overall prevalence of physician diagnosed of osteoporosis was 17.4% and was fluctuated in a small range and remained relatively stable within a certain range (Mann-Kendall trend test: Z = 2.20, P = 0.027) during 2005-2018. The prevalence of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women determined by bone mineral density (BMD) examination reached 9.2% during the five cycles. From 2005 to 2018, the prevalence of physician diagnosed osteoporosis fluctuated in a small range. For osteopenia measured by BMD, the prevalence was 59.6% and a gradual increasing trend was found between 2005 and 2018 (Mann-Kendall trend test: Z = 2.20, P = 0.027). Among patients with physician diagnosed osteoporosis, the treatment rate reached 70.49%. The treatment rate of physician diagnosed osteoporosis was decreased from 2005 to 2008, and further decreased from 2009 to 2018 (Mann-Kendall trend test: Z = -2.20, P = 0.027). The actual treatment rate of osteoporosis patients was 55.53%. During 2005-2018, the actual treatment rate of osteoporosis showed a continuous decline (Mann-Kendall trend test: Z = -2.20, P = 0.027).<h4>Conclusion</h4>Osteoporosis management might be insufficient and more efforts are needed to improve the diagnosis and treatment rates of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. |
