In different age groups, the prevalence of osteoporosis was significantly higher in females than in males (P < 0.01). The peak BMD in this region was higher than that reported in Japan and Denmark, and was comparable to that in Beijing. Furthermore, differences were significant (P < 0.01) as Han population of Changchun was compared with Dai population of Xishuangbanna, Tibet, and Dongxiang population of Gansu province.

Due to demographic changes, the burden of osteoporosis is expected to increase by almost a fifth by 2020. Due to the lack of country-specific data, these results rely on several assumptions regarding the incidence of non-hip fractures, trends in BMD and rate of incidence over time.

These patients, however, exhibited a much higher fracture propensity. Due to deformities, low body height and pre-existing fractures, DXA assessment is complicated in this disease, and further studies are needed to work out how to minimize the impact of these confounders.

The “4th Summit on Osteoporosis—CEE” held in Prague, Czech Republic, in December 2010 will reveal whether these recommendations prove of value when implemented in the clinical routine or whether further improvements are still required.

Introduction  With increasing longevity, hip fractures become more and more a serious burden not only for societies in developed civilization, but also for emerging countries. According to world-wide projections 1.5 million people are affected each year. Although a lot of research has been performed over the last decade, there is still a lack of standardized and evidence-based approaches for prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of this worst complication of osteoporosis. Therefore, the evi...

Given the characteristics of the design of this study, we are not able to infer a relationship between these findings and any specific factor. Nevertheless, the fact that the change has occurred in the age groups which have received the most treatment for osteoporosis may suggest the existence of some kind of association.

The vast majority of hip fractures in the twenty-first century will occur in developing countries; Asia and Latin America are estimated to be the two regions that will have the highest increases [2]. Osteoporosis and fragility fracture have become a focus of research in Mexico, and the National Institutes of Health in Mexico have recently recognized osteoporosis as a public health problem. However, osteoporosis still remains a greatly undetected and untreated national health priority disease because of the lack of awareness at all levels. Content Type Journal ArticleDOI 1...

Hospitalization costs of hip and vertebral fractures in Argentina exceed 190 million USD per year. Consequently, the costs of osteoporosis for the public health system are staggering; however, the federal or the provincial governments of Argentina do not give the disease a high priority. To conclude, efforts for the prevention and management of osteoporosis are urgently needed. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory ReviewDOI 10.1007/s11657-010-0038-4Authors Francisco R.

Future studies should investigate possible associations between intake of vitamin K1, K2 and fracture risk.

The exact reasons for this are unknown, but drug therapy for osteoporosis and fall prevention programs might have influenced the results.

These findings disagree with our expectations considering the bone mineral density and vitamin D status of Iranian population, especially women. Breastfeeding could be one of the probable protective factors.

The significant “tracking” of bone measurements in this 6-yr follow-up study underscores the importance that osteoporosis prevention should begin in childhood and adolescence.

The results show that the age-adjusted incidence has stabilized in recent years. Among subjects aged 50–59 years, a declining fracture rate is observed. Increasing awareness and a healthier ageing population could partly explain this improvement. Introduction  Studies published in the early 1990s projected that half of the world’s hip fractures would occur in Asia, mostly in China, by 2050. Whether this prediction will become a reality is not clear. This study was conducted to determine the incidence (per 100,000 persons) of hip fracture in Southern Chinese subjects ≥50 years in Hong Kong between 1995 and 2004 and compare them with the fracture rates during the pr...

Therefore, we suggest that an immediate prevention program among Ethiopian women be started and guidelines for care-givers be developed, in order to raise their awareness for osteoporosis.

Methods  Whole body bone mineral content (WBMC) in (g), whole body bone area (WBA) in (cm2), and %BF were measured using DEXA (Lunar Prodigy, USA). Regression analysis of within-pair differences was used to assess the strength of the association, and the analysis was stratified by gender and age group, where age cut-offs were based on ages at spermarche or menarche estimated from large population based studies in China. Males were stratified at ages before 14 and age 14–18, and females at...

Weight has a stronger effect on BMD than does the height. The prevalence of osteoporosis in the lumber spine was more than double that in the femur neck in postmenopausal women.

Objectives  The aim of the study was to evaluate age-related changes of hand bone mineral density (BMD) in both sexes using data obtained by digital radiographic densitometry in a large Chuvashian cohort. Methods  The data were gathered in 1994 (557 individuals) and 2002 (513 individuals). The latter sample included 260 individuals who were studied only during the second expedition and 253 individuals who had been previously investigated in 1994. Digital radiographic densitometry was employed to evaluate hand BMD. Statisti...

Due to the differences in ethnicity, diet, lifestyle, and small body size, BMD values of Iranian subjects were generally lower than those of the American population.

Methods  A cohort of 1,543 inhabitants aged 40–79 years was established using resident registration in 1989. Of these, 400 participants were selected and divided into four age strata, each containing 50 men and 50 women. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire and anthropometric measurements were taken. In 1990, baseline radiographic examinations of the thoracolumbar spine in anteroposterior and lateral views were performed. Radiographic examinations of the same sites were performed on the same participants in 2000. All VFx were diagnosed by the sa...

This information should alert the health authorities so they may begin to initiate plans of prevention and management of these very debilitating injuries. The incidence of hip fractures in Salamanca (Spain) has shown a marked increase during past decades. The aim of this work is to ascertain the real incidence of hip fractures in the province of Salamanca (Spain) in the period 1994–2002, and base on these results make a prediction for the future (up to the year 2015). This present study is based on collected data from the discharge register of the University Hospital of Salamanca (100% codified) f...

The present study failed to find associations between vitamin D status and gravity-center sway, grip strength, or the incidence of falls. This may be due to relatively high serum 25(OH)D level differences in this population. However, a significant association between vitamin D status and postural sway was found in the vitamin-D-insufficient subgroup, suggesting supplementation of vitamin D should be considered for those with vitamin D insufficiency.

The performance of these risk indices among women in Morocco was similar to that reported earlier for other samples in Asian countries, the US, and Belgium. The OST and other risk indices are effective and efficient tools to help target high-risk women for DXA measurement.

This risk is almost 2.6 times greater in demented people living in residential care. These data may be useful in health policy decisions and strongly support development of targeted HF prevention strategies, planning and allocation of resources and prioritisation of prevention efforts toward those with dementia, especially in residential care.
