Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Objectives: Osteoporosis has become an important public health problem that has to be assessed in parallel with the prolonged life expectancy in recent years. Management of bone health condition and prevention of fractures requires evaluation of the risk factors for osteoporosis, especially thyroid functions, in postmenopausal women. The study was conducted to determine the effects of bone mineral density (BMD) on changes in thyroid function in postmenopausal women. Methods: The study sample included a total of 240 postmenopausal women. Data were collected using thyroid hormone results and BMD measurement results. Data were analyzed using statistical analysis methods. The results were evaluated at a 95% confidence interval and a significance level of p <0.05. Results: While there was no statistical significance between TSH blood biochemistry and bone mineral density, a significant negative correlation was found between T4 blood biochemistry value and femoral neck bone mineral density. Conclusions: In terms of osteoporosis of the femur neck, thyroid dysfunctions in postmenopausal women may be an important problem that can go unnoticed. Therefore, assessment of thyroid hormones will be effective in preventing postmenopausal osteoporotic.
