Background: Osteoporosis jeopardizes the quality of life of many post-menopausal women due to its sequelae of fractures on trivial trauma. With a rapid increase in average life expectancy India is becoming home to a huge population at risk of osteoporosis. The aims and objectives of the study were to assess the prevalence of fractures due to trivial trauma and probable symptoms of osteoporosis and prevalence of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors of osteoporosis in postmenopausal womenMethods: A cross-sectional study, conducted by a door to door survey in 400 post-menopausal women (below 65 yrs) in urban Gwalior city from September to December 2012. The risk factors of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women have been classified into modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Modifiable risk factors include exercise/physical activity and consuming milk and milk products while age of menarche, age of menopause, reproductive period and parity were categorized as non-modifiable risk factors.Results: In our study, the overall prevalence of osteoporotic symptoms was 62.75% (251/400). Out of 400 postmenopausal women, 45.25% had backache, 55.75% had joint pain and 24.00% had fractures. Prevalence of osteoporotic fractures was much higher (39.16%) in females not consuming milk and milk products & in females who never exercised (35.22%). 60% of females who underwent hysterectomy had osteoporotic fractures.Conclusions: The overall prevalence of osteoporotic fractures among post-menopausal females was higher in our study when compared to other studies in the same setting. Thus, a multipronged approach involving educational intervention, lifestyle modification and appropriate hormonal treatment is required. Lifestyle modification involves nutritional interventions and motivation for regular physical activity.

Background: To determine the usefulness of risk assessment and screening for osteoporosis in a hospital based population of postmenopausal women. Methods: 100 women with post-menopausal women, age more than 40 yrs, cessation of period more than 1yr were included in the study. Result: 17 (17.0%) were more than 65 years of age. Low body weight, inadequate dietary intake of calcium and decreased physical activity were most commonly associated risk factor. 4 (4.0%) women were smokers, women had history of oral steroid intake for >3 months for various medical illnesses. Conclusion: Evaluation of postmenopausal women by screening for risk factors was found to be a powerful tool to define the risk status for osteoporosis. Low body weight and poor dietary calcium are modifiable risk factors for developing osteoporosis. Keywords: Osteoporosis, Post-Menopausal, Prevalence

Risk factors for ischemic stroke is suggested to differ by etiologic subtypes. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors and atherothrombotic stroke (i.e., excluding cardioembolic stroke), and to examine if the potential benefit of modifiable lifestyle factors differs among subjects with and without predisposing comorbidities. After a median follow-up of 21.2 years, 2339 individuals were diagnosed with atherothrombotic stroke out of 26,547 study participants from the Malmö Diet and Cancer study. Using multivariable Cox regression, we examined non-modifiable (demographics and family history of stroke), semi-modifiable comorbidities (hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus and atherosclerotic disease), and modifiable (smoking, body mass index, diet quality, physical activity, and alcohol intake) risk factors in relation to atherothrombotic stroke. Higher age, male gender, family history of stroke, and low educational level increased the risk of atherothrombotic stroke as did predisposing comorbidities. Non-smoking (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.62, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.56–0.68), high diet quality (HR = 0.83, 95% CI 0.72–0.97) and high leisure-time physical activity (HR = 0.89, 95% CI 0.80–0.98) decreased the risk of atherothrombotic ischemic stroke independent of established risk factors, with non-significant associations with body mass index and alcohol intake. The effect of the lifestyle factors was independent of predisposing comorbidities at baseline. The adverse effects of several cardiovascular risk factors were confirmed in this study of atherothrombotic stroke. Smoking cessation, improving diet quality and increasing physical activity level is likely to lower risk of atherothrombotic stroke in the general population as well as in patient groups at high risk.

Abstract Background Physical activity and macronutrient intake, important contributors to energy balance, may be independently associated with female urinary incontinence (UI). Methods We evaluated the association of baseline self-reported physical activity and macronutrient intake, via food-frequency questionnaire, with incident UI subtypes after 3 years among 19,741 post-menopausal women in the Women’s Health Initiative Observational Study. Odds ratios (OR) for incident urgency, stress, and mixed UI were calculated using multivariable logistic regression. Results Women who reported total physical activity (MET-hours/week) ≥30 vs <0.1 were 16% less likely to develop urgency UI (OR=0.84; 95% CI 0.70, 1.00) and 34% less likely for mixed UI (OR=0.66; 0.46, 0.95), although linear trends were no longer statistically significant after adjusting for baseline weight and weight change (P-trend=0.15 and 0.16, respectively). The association between physical activity and incident stress UI was less consistent. Higher uncalibrated protein intake was associated with increased odds of incident urgency UI (≥19.4% versus <14.1% of energy intake OR=1.14; 95% CI 0.99, 1.30; P-trend=0.02), while confidence intervals were wide and included 1.0 for calibrated protein intake. Other macronutrients were not associated with urgency UI and macronutrient intake was not associated with incident stress or mixed UI (P-trend>0.05 for all). Conclusions Among post-menopausal women, higher physical activity was associated with lower risk of incident urgency and mixed UI, but not stress UI, independent of baseline weight and weight change. Higher protein intake was associated with increase urgency UI, but no associations were observed between other macronutrient and UI subtypes.

The article deals with the question of the prevalence of overweight and obesity among the cohort of mental profession. It determines the level of their motivation for lifestyle changes, as well as possibility to enhance their motivation while using of the guar gum Guarem drug (Orion Corporation, Finland). 161 persons where skinned for diet habits, physical activity, the presence of risk factors as well as dislipidemiya. Motivation for lifestyle changes was evaluated. It was found that the prevalence of overweight and obesity in population with predominantly mental and light physical labor, is extremely high at 68% women and 73% men and incidence increased with age. While dynamic monitoring of the patients, who underwent motivational counseling while taking the drug guar gum Guarem, noted strengthening of motivation to comply with the recommendations, compared with patients who received only verbal motivation.
