Prevalence Of Osteoporosis

Abstract Background Psoriasis is considered as a systemic disease since it is an inflammatory skin disorder associated with increased level of many inflammatory cytokines, which can result in many comorbidities. It was hypothesized that there is an association between psoriasis and osteoporosis and many studies investigated this association, but the majority of them focused on the association between psoriatic arthritis and osteoporosis, while this study excluded psoriatic arthritis and investigated the association between psoriasis of different clinical varieties and osteoporosis. Objective to assess the associated relationship between psoriasis and osteoporosis in psoriatic patients of different clinical varieties, by measuring the prevalence of osteoporosis in a sample of these patients. Subjects and methods Our cross-sectional study included 42 psoriatic male and female patients with non specific ages, 48% of them were males (20 patients) and 52% of them were females (22 patients), and it excluded any patients with endocrinal disorders, chronic renal failure, liver cell failure, other chronic inflammatory disoredres, malabsorption, history of alcohol misuse, history of intake of steroids for longer than 6 months, pregnant women and psoriatic arthritis. All patients were subjected to a questionnaire for detailed history taking, complete general and dermatological examinations, evaluation of psoriasis severity by Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score and bone mineral density (BMD) measurement using the DEXA method of the lumbar spine (L1L4) and femoral neck. Results The prevalence of osteoporosis among psoriatic patients was (9.5%), (10%) in males and (9%) in females, which was lower than the prevalence of osteoporosis in the population. While the prevalence of osteopenia was 50%, (45%) in males and (54.5%) in females, which was higher than the prevalence of osteopenia in the population. Additionally this study showed a statistically significant negative correlation between the age of the patients and BMD, and a highly significant positive correlation between the BMI of the patients and BMD, while there were non significant negative correlations between both (duration of psoriasis and PASI score) and BMD, and no significant correlations between clinical variants of psoriasis and BMD. Conclusion Psoriasis is associated with a decrease in the bone mineral density more in males, with higher incidence of osteopenia rather than osteoporosis. The decrease in BMD increases with increasing age, duration of psoriasis and PASI score, decreases with increasing BMI, while the clinical variants of psoriasis didn’t seem to affect the BMD of psoriatic patients.

Prevalence Of Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is one of the systemic features of COPD. Aims and objective is to determine the prevalence of osteoporosis in male COPD. In a cross-sectional study, we conducted dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry bone mineral density scans of the femoral neck and lumbar spine and collected data on smoking, duration of COPD, inhaled and oral corticosteroid treatment and staging by pulmonary function tests. We included 60 male patients with COPD, the mean age was 62.4 ± 8.1 years, smoking was 36.8 ± 17.2 smoking-pack year, duration of COPD was 5.4 ± 3.3 years, GOLD stage-III (56.7%) stage-IV (38.3%) and stage-II (5.0%), use of oral steroid (11.7%) inhaled steroid (63.3%) and none (25.0%). Normal bone mineral density was in 6 (10.0%), osteopenia in 24 (40.0%) and osteoporosis in 30 (50%) patients in femoral neck; whereas normal bone mineral density was in 4 (6.7%), osteopenia in 17 (28.3%) and osteoporosis in 39 (65.0%) patients in lumbar spine. Osteoporosis is highly prevalent in male COPD patients in both femoral neck and lumbar spine.Medicine Today 2018 Vol.30(1): 1-4

Prevalence Of Osteoporosis

Objective. To study the prevalence of osteoporosis and vitamin D deficiency in healthy men and to explore the influence of various life style factors on bone mineral density (BMD) and also to look at number of subjects warranting treatment.Methods. Ambulatory south Indian men aged above 50 were recruited by cluster random sampling. The physical activity, risk factors in the FRAX tool, BMD, vitamin D, and PTH were assessed. The number of people needing treatment was calculated, which included subjects with osteoporosis and osteopenia with 10-year probability of major osteoporotic fracture >20 percent and hip fracture >3 percent in FRAX India.Results. A total of 252 men with a mean age of 58 years were studied. The prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia at any one site was 20% (50/252) and 58%, respectively. Vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/dL) was seen in 53%. On multiple logistic regression, BMI (OR 0.3;Pvalue = 0.04) and physical activity (OR 0.4;Pvalue < 0.001) had protective effect on BMD. Twenty-five percent warranted treatment.Conclusions. A significantly large proportion of south Indian men had osteoporosis and vitamin D deficiency. Further interventional studies are needed to look at reduction in end points like fractures in these subjects.

Prevalence Of Osteoporosis

Abstract Background: While there have been studies in Singapore on the prevalence and economic burden of osteoporotic hip fracture, there is a severe lack of reference data on bone mineral density and prevalence of osteoporosis. The purpose of this study is to establish the reference values for BMD and compare prevalence of osteoporotic conditions using other available reference values so as to better understand the status of bone health in Singaporean adults.Methods: We carried out a population-based cross-sectional study using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (Hologic Discovery Wi) to measure the bone mineral density of Singaporean adults aged ³ 21 years. A total of 542 participants were recruited from the large north-eastern residential town of Yishun. We computed T- scores (denoted by TSG) for each individual in the study. Similar diagnoses were also done based on T-scores provided by the densitometer (TDXA), NHANES database (TNHANES), and China (TCHN), and the differences in prevalence compared. We then compared the concordance between TSG and TDXA in the classification of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis was defined according to criteria by the World Health Organization (WHO).Results: Peak lumbar spine BMD was 1.093±0.168g/cm2 in women, and 1.041±0.098g/cm2 for men. Peak whole-body BMD was 1.193±0.93g/cm2 in women at, and 1.224±0.112g/cm2 for men. Prevalence of osteoporosis based on lumbar spine was 9.3% in postmenopausal women, and 0.7% in men after 50 years of age. The percentage difference in prevalence range from 60.5 - 163.6%, when using reference values from TDXA, TNHANES, and TCHN. Comparing diagnosis using TDXA and TSG cut-off values, 28 versus 15 women were diagnosed as osteoporotic respectively. The kappa statistics was 0.81 for women and 0.85 for men. Conclusion: Our study shows that T-scores provided by DXA manufacturer over-diagnosed osteoporosis in Singaporeans, and the prevalence of osteoporotic conditions is not accurately represented. This over-diagnosis may result in unnecessary treatment in some individuals.
