Prevalence of osteoporosis and risk factors in different age categories in adult women

Abstract

Background: Analysis of risk factors and prevalence of osteoporosis in an elderly population suggests a study focused on identifying and evaluating factors contributing to osteoporosis among them. (2) Methods: The aim of this paper is to analyse and compare the prevalence levels of osteoporosis in different age groups in adult women, focusing on the identification and assessment of relevant risk factors. Hypothesis of the work: There are assumed to be significant correlations between adult women age groups and osteoporosis prevalence, and these correlations are influenced by a number of risk factors, including older age, BMI, family history of fractures, and BMD bone mineral density levels. (3) Results: There is a tendency to increase the average weight with age up to the age group of 70-79 years. Mean BMI values indicate significant variation in participants weight status, with relatively high values across all age groups. Mean T-score and Z-score values at femoral neck BMD indicate reduced bone mineral density, possibly associated with osteoporosis or osteopenia, especially in older age groups. (4) Conclusions: There is an increase in average weight with age, and BMI values are relatively high across all age groups, indicating the importance of monitoring and managing body weight to prevent complications associated with osteoporosis.
