Evaluation of Frequency Pattern of Risk Factors for Decreased Bone Mineral Density in Postmenopausal Women Referred to the Bone Mineral Density Assessment Center of Al-Zahra Hospital in Isfahan during Years 2018 and 2019

| description | Introduction: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease in which the internal structure and ability of bone to repair its daily damage is impaired. Menopause is a vital period that affects bone health, causing rapid loss of bone mass, which in turn increases the risk of fractures in postmenopausal women. The present study was performed to evaluate the frequency pattern of risk factors for decreased bone mineral density in postmenopausal women referred to the bone mineral density assessment center of Al-Zahra Hospital in Isfahan in years 2018 and 2020.
Methods: Among postmenopausal women referred to the Bone Density Assessment Center of Al-Zahra Hospital from March 2018 to March 2020, 384 people were included in the study using simple random sampling method. Patients’ information was extracted from their files. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16 software.
Results: In this study, the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women was 46.1% and 41.1%, respectively. The results showed that with increasing age, diabetes, use of corticosteroids, autoimmune disease and a previous history of femoral fracture, the chance of osteopenia and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women increased sharply. Among the known risk factors for decreased bone density, diabetes was the most common in postmenopausal women and followed by corticosteroids consumption.
Conclusion: This study showed that 87.2% of postmenopausal women had decreased bone mineral density. Osteoporosis as one of the main problems of women's health requires proper planning and preventive measures. |
