Increased Risk of Tooth Loss in Postmenopausal Women With Prevalent Vertebral Fractures: An Observational Study
ABSTRACT The association between prevalent fractures and tooth loss in postmenopausal women remains unclear. Herein, we investigated the association between prevalent vertebral and nonvertebral fractures, the number of teeth present at baseline, and the number of teeth lost during follow‐up in postm...

| description | ABSTRACT The association between prevalent fractures and tooth loss in postmenopausal women remains unclear. Herein, we investigated the association between prevalent vertebral and nonvertebral fractures, the number of teeth present at baseline, and the number of teeth lost during follow‐up in postmenopausal Japanese women. This cross‐sectional study enrolled 843 participants (mean age 68.3 years). The number of teeth at follow‐up was evaluated in 655 women in this longitudinal study. The participants were divided into four groups according to their prevalent fracture status: no fractures, vertebral fractures alone, nonvertebral fractures alone, and both fracture types. After adjusting for covariates, Poisson regression analyses were performed to investigate differences in the number of teeth at baseline and that lost during the follow‐up period among the four groups. Participants with prevalent vertebral fractures alone had significantly fewer teeth at baseline than those in participants without fractures or nonvertebral fractures alone (p < 0.001 for both). Furthermore, they lost more teeth during the follow‐up period than did those with no fractures (p = 0.021) and tended to lose more teeth than did those with nonvertebral fractures alone or both prevalent fracture types. We observed no significant difference in the number of teeth lost between the participants with nonvertebral fractures alone and those with no fractures. Postmenopausal women with prevalent vertebral fractures may be at a higher risk of tooth loss. © 2023 The Authors.
