Abstract

A cross-sectional study aimed at analyzing some factors related to bone density in elderly people treated at the National Geriatric Hospital. 300 patients visited the medical examination department, on-demand examination department and inpatient treatment at the Department of Endocrinology and Musculoskeletal system at the National Geriatric Hospital satisfying the following conditions (i) Age ≥ 60, (ii) Agree to participate in the study. Excluded from the study subjects (i) Diabetes, (ii) Secondary osteoporosis, (iii) Treated osteoporosis. The results show that the majority of osteoporosis occurs in the age group ≥ 80. The mean age of the osteoporosis group is 73.3 ± 7.6. Mainly seen in women (93.6%). Bone density decreased with age in both lumbar spine and vertebral column (p < 0.05). Patients who exercise without osteoporosis are 1.8 times more likely than those who do not exercise (95% CI: 1.3 – 2.4). The risk of people with underlying medical conditions developing osteoporosis is 2.37 times higher than those without underlying disease (95% CI: 1.8 – 3.1). Bone density in lumbar spine and bone density in femoral neck were negatively correlated with cholesterol TP, Triglyceride and HDL - C (p < 0.01). In contrast, bone density in the lumbar spine and bone density in the femoral neck were positively correlated with LDL-C.
