abstract

background: the main purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between serum vitamin d and the status of bone mineral density in patients with low-energy hip and distal radius fracture. methods: this retrospective case-control study was performed between january 2013 and january 2014. participants aged 55 years or older were divided to case group including 85 patients with low-energy hip fracture and 83 patients with low-energy distal radius fractures, and 82 subjects as a matched control group. bone mineral density was measured with dual energy x-ray absorptiometry and serum sample was obtained to check vitamin d, calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, and protein. results: study subjects for final evaluation consisted of 78 in hip and distal radius fracture groups and 80 in control group. there were no significant differences in the mean serum levels of calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase between the three groups. the overall mean serum level of vitamin d3 was significantly different among the three groups. similar results were observed with hip and spine t-score between the groups. conclusion: there is not only a direct relation between serum vitamin d and the risk of low energy hip and distal radius fractures, but also a significant relation between low bone density in hip and spine area with low serum calcium was observed.

Low bone mineral density is a significant risk factor for low-energy distal radius fractures in middle-aged and elderly men: A case-control study

BACKGROUND In general there is a lack of data on osteoporosis and fracture in men; this also includes low-energy distal radius fractures. The objectives of this study were to examine BMD and identify factors associated with distal radius fractures in male patients compared with controls recruited from the background population. METHODS In a 2-year period, 44 men 50 years or older were diagnos...

Bone Mineral Density and Prevalence of Osteoporosis in Postmenopausal Korean Women with Low-Energy Distal Radius Fractures

The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone mineral density and the prevalence of osteoporosis in postmenopausal Korean women with low-energy distal radius fractures and compared with those of aged-matched normal Korean women. Two hundred and six patients with distal radius fractures between March 2006 and March 2010 were included in this study. Patients were divided into three groups by age...

A cotwin control study of the relationship between hip osteoarthritis and bone mineral density.

OBJECTIVE Previous case-control studies have shown various degrees of inverse relationship between osteoarthritis (OA) and osteoporosis (OP). The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between radiographic hip OA and bone mineral density (BMD) at the affected and contralateral hips, as well as at more distal sites. We also explored the possibility that this association might be confo...
