Prevent Osteoporosis Broken Bones

We know that osteoporosis causes bones to weaken.

We also know that if you suffer from osteoporosis, you’re at critical risk of breaking bones.

There are many factors that increase the risk of people with osteoporosis breaking bones.

A new study from BMC Women’s Health identified seven factors that add to the risk of broken bones in people with osteoporosis.

Many of these factors are easily avoidable.

The researchers obtained health information about 2,478 postmenopausal osteoporosis patients between 2007 and 2016.

All of the patients were women above age 50.

1,239 of them had never had bone fractures; the other 1,239 had suffered fractures. Of those who had suffered fractures, 1,008 had suffered only one, while the other 231 had suffered multiple fractures of the same bone.

When they compared the group of women with no fractures to the groups of women with one or two fractures, they made the following discoveries.

1. The women with one or two fractures were older on average than the women with no fractures.

2. The women in the unfractured group had the highest bone mineral density, followed by those in the single-fracture group, with those in the multiple-fracture group having the lowest bone mineral density scores.

3. Women in both fracture groups had lower osteocalcin in their blood than the unfractured group did, and those in the single-fracture group had the lowest scores of all. Osteocalcin is a protein that builds and maintains bones.

4. Women in both the single-fracture and multiple-fracture groups were more likely to have diabetes than women in the unfractured group did, with those in the multiple-fracture group having the highest risk. Those with diabetes also had the lowest bone mineral density and osteocalcin.

5. Those with cardiovascular disease were most likely to be in the multiple-fracture group and to have the lowest bone mineral density and osteocalcin.

6. Those with chronic liver and kidney diseases were most likely to suffer a first bone fracture.

7. Those who were of advanced age, were overweight, had lower lumbar spinal damage, and had low total hip mineral density were more likely to have single or multiple fractures.

While we cannot do anything about our age, many of the other risk factors for fractures in this list are under our control.
