Abstract
Background. Parkinson’s disease is a chronic progressive disease of the brain manifested by a combination of hypokinesia with rigidity, resting tremor and postural instability, as well as a wide spectrum of non-motor manifestations accompanied by an increased risk of osteoporotic fractures. The purpose of the study was to study the sexual characteristics of bone mineral density in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Materials and methods. Eighty nine patients with Parkinson’s disease and 89 patients of the corresponding age and sex without neurologic pathology were examined. Women and men of both groups did not differ in age, height and body weight. The bone mineral density (BMD) was determined by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results. Osteoporosis in patients with Parkinson’s disease was registered significantly more often in women than in men (48 and 24.3 %, respectively) and significantly more often than in the control group. Significantly lower BMD was registered in patients with Parkinson’s disease compared with those of the control group: in men — at the level of the femoral neck, the distal forearm and the total body, in women — at the level of the lumbar spine, femoral neck and total hip, distal forearm and total body. The negative correlation of the BMD in different regions of the skeleton and age was recorded in women, in men this relationship was registered at the level of the distal forearm. The positive correlation was found between the BMD and body mass index in men and women. Conclusions. The results of our study suggest that Parkinson’s disease leads to the development of osteoporosis, but the condition of bone tissue in patients with Parkinson’s disease has gender features, in particular, the BMD in women is more dependent on age, and in men — on body mass index.
