Summary: | To determine comparative fracture risk in HIV patients compared with uninfected controls.
A randomised cross-sectional study assessing bone mineral density (BMD), fracture history and risk factors in the 2 groups.
Hospital Outpatients.
222 HIV infected patients and an equal number of age-matched controls.
Fracture risk factors were assessed and biochemical, endocrine and bone markers measured. BMD was assessed at hip and spine. 10-year fracture probability (FRAX) and remaining lifetime fracture probability (RFLP) were calculated.
BMD, and history of fractures.
Reported fractures occurred more frequently in HIV than controls, (45 vs. 16; 20.3 vs. 7%; OR=3.27; p=0.0001), and unsurprisingly in this age range, non-fragility fractures in men substantially contributed to this increase. Osteoporosis was more prevalent in patients with HIV (17.6% vs. 3.6%, p |
