Study of bone mineral density to predict osteoporosis in Indian population
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Orthopedics - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Osteoporosis is the most frequent problems leading to or aggravating orthopaedic problems. Calcaneal quantitative ultrasound is frequently used method with ease of access and usage that can provide information about osteoporosis. The aims of this study are to identify efficacy of detecting underdiagnosed osteoporosisand finding out prevalence of osteoporosis. Despite osteoporosis related fractures be a major health issue, osteoporosis remains underdiagnosed. Objective: To determine the prevalence of osteoporosis by bone mineral density in general population. Subjects: Patients who visited to outpatient departments in Hyderabad and vikarabad have been included in the study after taking informed consent. Methods: This study was conducted in patients attending the outpatient departments of hyderabad and vikarabad during 2016to 2018.The assessment of osteoporosis diagnostic accuracy was performed for calcaneal quantitative ultrasound. Results: We enrolled 900patients out of which 350 are male patients, 550 are female patientsand almost 25%(228) of them had osteoporosis, and osteopenia in 38% (345) with most number of patients with osteopenia and osteoporosis were present in 51-60years age group. Conclusions: Use of calcaneal quantitative ultrasound for screening is a reasonable alternative of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. since many studies confirm that none strategy is clearly superior, but various available tools must be always completed with X-ray.
