Journal of Rheumatology, 09/10/09
Thomas JM et al. – Men with osteoporosis had a higher rate of fractures. The majority of fractures occurred in men with T-scores > 2.5 standard deviations below the mean, suggesting that factors other than BMD are also important in determining risk.
Methods- 257 men aged 70 years or older were evaluated for risk factors for osteoporosis and fragility fractures
- Exclusion criteria included conditions known to cause osteoporosis
- Age, weight, weight loss, androgen deprivation treatment, duration of use of dairy products, exercise, and fracture within 10 years prior to study entry were associated with osteoporosis
- Fragility fractures were associated with duration of use of dairy products, androgen deprivation treatment, osteoporosis, and history of fracture within 10 years prior to BMD assessment
- Differences in risk factors between the Caucasian and African American populations suggest that risk factors may vary between ethnic groups.
