Abstract

Objective: To determine the prevalence of osteoporosis among women with knee osteoarthritis at Vo Truong Toan University Hospital in 2025.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using retrospective medical record review. A total of 114 female patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis according to the 1991 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria, who underwent bone mineral density assessment using quantitative ultrasound at Vo Truong Toan University Hospital between January 1 and December 30, 2025, were included.

Result: The prevalence of osteoporosis among women with knee osteoarthritis was remarkably high, accounting for 68.4%, while 28.1% had osteopenia and only 3.5% had normal bone mineral density. These findings indicate that osteoporosis is a common comorbidity in this patient population. The mean age of the participants was 60.7 ± 8.9 years, with most patients aged between 50 and 69 years. The mean body mass index (BMI) was 27.1 ± 4.3 kg/m², and 80.7% of participants were overweight or obese. Most patients did not engage in regular physical exercise (71.9%) and predominantly resided in rural areas (61.4%).

Conclusion: Osteoporosis is a highly prevalent comorbidity among women with knee osteoarthritis. These findings highlight the importance of routine bone mineral density screening for the early detection and appropriate management of osteoporosis in this population.
