Abstract

Objective: To determine the prevalence of osteoporosis and its associated factors in elderly men receiving treatment at the Geriatrics Department of Tay Nguyen Regional General Hospital. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 304 male patients aged 72 and older who were undergoing their first bone mineral density (BMD) screening at Tay Nguyen Regional General Hospital. The patients were divided into groups based on BMD results, and structured face-to-face interviews were conducted using a pre-prepared questionnaire. Results: The average age of the study participants was 79.73 ± 6.74 years. The prevalence of osteoporosis among the participants was 30.59%, with osteoporosis in the lumbar spine and femoral neck at 23.36% and 19.08%. The study identified associations between osteoporosis and factors such as age, height, weight, BMI, smoking, and type II diabetes mellitus. Conclusion: The prevalence of osteoporosis in elderly male patients is relatively high. Osteoporosis risk factors are associated with anthropometric indicators and lifestyle factors, suggesting that intervention plans may help mitigate the osteoporosis risk in this population
