Osteoporosis International, 06/30/09
Sakai A et al. – Study demonstrates that unipedal standing time was shorter and bone mineral density (BMD) was lower in women ≥50 years of age with distal radius fractures than those in age-matched women without fractures.
Methods- Aim was to compare unipedal standing time and BMD of women ≥50 yrs of age with distal radius fractures vs age-matched women w/o fractures
- Fracture group: 54 Japanese women with low-energy distal radius fractures resulting from fall
- Non-fracture group: 52 community-dwelling Japanese women w/o fractures
- Unipedal standing time and BMD were measured
- No differences in age and BMI between the 2 groups
- Percentage of women with unipedal standing time <15 s was 44.4% in the fracture group and 13.5% in the non-fracture group
- Respective frequencies for >120 s were 20.4% and 50.0%
- T-score of BMD was lower in the fracture than non-fracture group
- Logistic regression analysis identified unipedal standing time <15 s and T-score <70% as significant factors associated with distal radius fractures
- T-score <70% was significant in subjects <65 yrs
- Unipedal standing time <15 s was significant in those ≥65 yrs
