Prevalence of osteoporosis, serum vitamin D and serum calcium deficiency cases among women: A hospital based retrospective study
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction Osteoporosis is a disorder of the bones characterized by low bone massOne out of three women in India suffers from osteoporosis Vitamin D deficiency prevails as an epidemic in India and a formidable issue The present study was done to estimate prevalence of osteoporosis rates among women and correlation of BMD with serum vitamin D and calcium levelsMaterials and Methods The present retrospective study was conducted on162 women who attended orthopedic OPD at KLEs hospital BelagaviCases were evaluated for serum 25 OH vitamin D serum calcium and bone mineral density by DEXA Lumbar spine scanData analyzed by SPSS version 20Results Results of our study showed 543 of women were osteoporotic 265 were osteopenic and 191 were having a normal BMD The highest hypovitaminosis D was seen in 60 above age group There was a significant and positive correlation between BMD scores with vitamin D r06644 p00001 and calcium r05974 p00001at 5 level was observed A statistically significant association was found between age group and BMD chisquare149597 p00004 and serum vitamin D status in women chisquare118052 p00189 Further multiple linear regression analysis indicated the influence of vitamin D and calcium on BMD is positive and significant t352502 p00001Conclusion Serum vitamin D and calcium were the significant predictors of BMD in women It was compelling to observe age was an important factor for high prevalence of low BMDHence prevention and early detection of hypovitaminosis D and hypocalcemia is the key to reduce the incidence of osteoporosis among womenKeywords Bone mineral density Osteoporosis 25 hydroxy vitamin D Hypocalcemia DEXA scan
