FRAX-Based Intervention Thresholds for Osteoporosis Treatment in Ukraine.

Objectives: Osteoporosis, in addition to its consequent fracture burden, is a common and costly condition. FRAX is a well-established, validated, web-based tool which calculates the 10-year probability of fragility fractures. A FRAX model for Ukraine has been available since 2016 but its output has not yet been translated into intervention thresholds for the treatment of osteoporosis in Ukraine; we aimed to address this unmet need in this analysis.

FEATURES OF BONE METABOLISM AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON ARTERIAL WALL STIFFNESS IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN WITH CONTROLLED UNCOMPLICATED HYPERTENSION.

The aim of this study was to investigate the features of bone metabolism and their influence on the arterial wall stiffness in postmenopausal women with a controlled uncomplicated arterial hypertension (AH). The study involved 44 women (main group) with the mean age of 69.04±0.

[10-YEAR MORTALITY IN PATIENTS AFTER HIP FRACTURES].

The aim is to study the indexes of short- and long-term mortality in patients after hip fractures (HF). In a retrospective study, the data of 146 women and 82 men with HF aged 50 years and older (mean age (Me [25Q-75Q]): 74.5 [64.

[Vertebral pain syndrome and quality of life in senior women with vertebral fractures depending on their quantity and localization.].

The features of vertebral pain (VP) and quality of life in postmenopausal women were analyzed depending on the number and location of vertebral fractures (VF). It was found that the intensity of pain in thoracic and lumbar spines, according to McGill pain index, was significantly higher in patients with two or more VF compared to women without any fractures, and absence of differences in subjects with a single VF. Most indices of 11-component Numerical Rating Scale at the thoracic spine were significantly higher only in females with two or more VF.

Bone mineral density and trabecular bone score in postmenopausal women with knee osteoarthritis and obesity.

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spine, femoral neck, trabecular bone score (TBS) and body mass index (BMI), in postmenopausal women with knee osteoarthritis (OA).

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study group comprised 359 postmenopausal women aged 50-89 years. They were divided into 2 groups: I group - 117 postmenopausal women with symptomatic knee OA and II group -242 women with a normal functional activity of knee joints.
