A Cross Sectional Study of Prevalance and Determinants of Osteoporosis in Women Aged 25-45 Years
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 8
Abstract
Introduction: Osteoporosis is defined as a progressive, systemic, skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and micro architectural deterioration of bone tissues with a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture.1 Studies have shown that bone loss starts from the age of 20–40 years in both men and women. In women, it has been postulated that menopause is followed by an immediate decrease in bone mass and density within a year. Materials and methods: This was a cross sectional study done over a period of 12 months at M.G.M Medical College, Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. A sample size was calculated statistically and 600 women in 25 to 45 years group were included in this study. A structured proforma and QUS were the study tools. The bone mineral density of the calcaneum on the right foot was measured. The t-score values were obtained using quantitative ultrasound and individuals with the score values less than -2.5 were categorized as osteoporotic. Results: In this hospital, prevalence of osteoporosis is 18.32 % and findings suggest a significant positive correlation between age, time since menopause, sunlight exposure, family history of osteoporosis and Bone mineral density. Conclusion: Osteoporosis is an important public health problem leading to an increased risk of developing spontaneous and traumatic fractures. Because of the morbid consequences of osteoporosis, the prevention of this disease and its associated fractures is considered essential to the maintenance of health, quality of life, and independence in the elderly population.
