Abstract

Background: Osteoporosis is considered a common health problem in elderly, especially post-menopausal women. Objectives: To survey on the prevalence of osteoporosis and related factors in post-menopausal female patients at On-demand Consultation Department of Bach Mai Hospital. Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study including 191 post-menopausal women. Diagnosis of osteoporosis was based on the World Health Organization definition of osteoporosis with bone mass density (BMD) measured by American Hologic's Horizon DEXA system. Data was processed with “SPSS 20.0”. Results: Osteoporosis was recorded in 43.5% lumbar spines, 35.1% femoral necks and the overall rate of osteoporosis was 43,89%. Osteoporosis was strongly correlated with age (p<0.001), menopause age (p<0.05), years from menopause (p<0.001), height (p < 0.001), weight (p<0.001), BMI (p<0.01). Osteoporosis was also significantly associated with calcium and vitamin D supplementation (p<0.05), milk use (p<0.05), sunlight exposure and physical activity (p<0.05). Conclusion: Osteoporosis was strongly related with age, menopause age, years from menopause, BMI, and significantly related to diet, lifestyle, and exercise.
