Risk factors of osteoporosis and osteopenia in postmenopausal women based on the L2-L4 BMD T score of the lumbar spine: a study in Iran

To determine the risk factors of osteoporosis and osteopenia of the spine in postmenopausal women. An analytical cross-sectional study was performed on postmenopausal women. The T-score of the lumbar spine (L2-L4) was measured by densitometry and compared between osteoporotic, osteopenia, and normal...

Description
Summary:To determine the risk factors of osteoporosis and osteopenia of the spine in postmenopausal women. An analytical cross-sectional study was performed on postmenopausal women. The T-score of the lumbar spine (L2-L4) was measured by densitometry and compared between osteoporotic, osteopenia, and normal women. One thousand three hundred fify-nine postmenopausal women were evaluated. The prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis was 58.2% and 12.8% respectively. Age, BMI, parity, total breastfeeding years, dairy use, calcium-D supplements, and regular exercise were significantly different in women with osteoporosis, osteopenia, and normal women. Ethnicity, diabetes, and previous fracture history were only other among women with osteoporosis (not osteopenia) and normal women. For osteopenia of the spine, age [AOR 1.08 (1.05-1.11; p 30 [AOR 0.36 (0.28-0.58; p
