Abstract

Background: Osteoporosis is a common condition among the elderly, characterized by decreased bone mineral density and increased risk of fractures, which significantly reduces patients’ quality of life. Objective: To assess the quality of life in patients with primary osteoporosis at Bach Mai Hospital using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire and to examine associated factors. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 112 patients diagnosed with primary osteoporosis at Bach Mai Hospital from December 2022 to August 2023, based on the WHO (1994) diagnostic criteria. Results: The mean age of participants was 73 ± 9.48 years. The female-to-male ratio was 14.8:1. The average EQ-5D-5L utility score was 0.68 ± 0.18, and the mean EQ VAS score was 48.16 ± 24.29. Osteoporosis adversely affected all dimensions of patients’ quality of life, primarily at mild to moderate levels. Poorer quality of life was observed among older individuals, those with lower educational levels, more than 20 years post-menopause, severe osteoporosis, or recent vertebral fractures. Conclusion: Osteoporosis impacts all aspects of patients’ quality of life. Advanced age (over 70 years), postmenopausal duration exceeding 20 years, and pathological fractures are factors that significantly impair self-care ability and psychological well-being. Early diagnosis and quality of life assessment are essential for implementing appropriate interventions to improve patient outcomes.
