Risk factors of osteoporosis as a major predictor of fractures
Abstract
In order to determine the most significant risk factors for osteoporosis (OP) in individuals living in the Arctic region, bone mineral density (BMD) was studied using the GE Lunar Achilles ultrasound densitometer and a questionnaire was conducted for men and women of different age groups. The study revealed a decrease in BMD (in comparison with age norm) in the age group up to 50 years, and at the age of 50 and older – osteoporosis and osteopenia in more than half of the subjects. Low-energy fractures were more frequent at the age of 50 years and older, that indicates severe forms of osteoporosis in these individuals. The use of dairy products was a significant risk factor for OP, as patients with fractures used dairy products less frequently than people without fractures (p <0.05). Thus, it was found that inadequate consumption of dairy products, age, early menopause, history of a fracture are the main risk factors for OP, significantly affecting the density of bone tissue and the frequency of low-energy fractures.
