A cross sectional study on disease course and prognosis of patients with regional osteoporosis and hip or lumbar vertebral fracture

Abstract

The mean age of the subjects affected by hip or vertebral fractures was 63.31 years with newlinean age range of 47 to 85 years. The proportion of the females (96.77%) was quite higher newlinethan males in the study population (3.23%), Indicating higher risk of hip and vertebral newlinefractures in women compared to men. The prevalence of osteoporosis was 25.81%, and newline20.16% based right and left femoral neck T-scores. The prevalence based on any newlinefemoral neck score was 30.6%. Based on the femur T-scores, the prevalence of newlineosteoporosis was 16.13% on the right and 14.52% on the left and 20.2% when any side newlinewas considered positive. The prevalence of osteoporosis was 41.94% based on lumbar newlinespinal t-scores. The proportion of subjects with osteopenia was 69.35%, 77.42% and newline67% as assessed by femoral neck T-score right side, left side and Bilateral. The newlineproportion of subjects with osteopenia was 77.42%, 79.84% and 76.20% as assessed by newlinefemur T-score right side, left side and Bilateral. It was 56.45% at spine. The proportion newlineof subjects with osteoporosis was highest at spine, followed by femoral neck and least newlineat femur in the study. newline
