Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4

Abstract

Introduction: Osteoporosis amongst post-menopausal females is regarded as a important public health matter associated with significant socioeconomic burden and morbidity. It is generally divided into primary type and secondary type depending upon its underlying causation. The present study was conducted with the aim to determine the risk factors of osteoporosis amongst postmenopausal women reporting to the Hospital. Material and methods: The present cross sectional survey was conducted amongst 270 post-menopausal females reporting to the Hospital for a period of 1 year. It was a multiple choice questionnaire in which the subjects were made to select the most related terms. The variables in the questionnaire had information regarding exercise, family history, alcohol and smoking history etc. Student t test was used for the purpose of comparison. Probability value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The present study was conducted using 270 subjects. The mean age of the study subjects was 59.76+/-9.82 years and the mean duration of menopause was 8.96+/-6.21 years. There were 20.7% subjects with osteoporosis, 27.3% with osteopenia and 30% normal subjects indulged in regular exercise. There were only 0.9% subjects with osteopenia that had a habit of smoking Conclusion: Osteoporosis is increasing at an alarming rate amongst post menopausal women. The prime reason behind it is the diagnosis at later stage and very subjects are aware about it.
