Factors affecting osteoporosis among people aged 60 years and above / 预防医学

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the prevalence of osteoporosis (OP) and its influencing factors among people aged 60 years and above, so as to provide insights into OP prevention and treatment among the elderly.@*Methods@#People aged 60 years and above who underwent physical examinations were selected from Hangzhou First People's Hospital from January to October 2023. Demographic information, lifestyle and physical examination data were collected through field surveys and hospital information systems. Bone density was measured by dual-energy X-ray densitometer, and OP was diagnosed with reference to the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Osteoporosis (2022). Factors affecting the OP were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.@*Results@#A total of 482 participants were included and had a mean age of (69.10±6.52) years. There were 217 men (45.02%) and 265 women (54.98%). The prevalence of OP was 43.36%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified gender (women, OR=3.791, 95%CI 1.726-8.314), age (70 to 79 years, OR=1.260, 95%CI 1.018-1.559; 80 years and above, OR=3.083, 95%CI 1.546-6.147), body mass index (≥24 kg/m2, OR=0.358, 95%CI 0.205-0.626), family history of fracture (OR=1.475, 95%CI 1.073-2.030), diabetes (OR=1.626, 95%CI 1.109-2.382), regular exercise (OR=0.457, 95%CI 0.287-0.726), intake of milk products (OR=0.511, 95%CI 0.335-0.780), intake of calcium supplements (OR=0.473, 95%CI 0.287-0.778) and vitamin D deficiency (OR=2.132, 95%CI 1.309-3.473) as factors affecting OP.@*Conclusion@#The prevalence of OP is associated with gender, age, body mass index, family history of fracture, diabetes, diet and vitamin D deficiency.
