AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify risk factors for osteoporosis and osteopenia in postmenopausal women, using T-scores from lumbar spine measurements.
- Results showed that 58.2% of women had osteopenia and 12.8% had osteoporosis, with significant differences in age, BMI, breastfeeding history, calcium-D supplements, and exercise among the groups.
- Key risk factors for osteoporosis included hyperthyroidism, low BMI, Kurdish ethnicity, and previous fractures, while age and high BMI were associated with osteopenia.
Article Abstract
Objective: To determine the risk factors of osteoporosis and osteopenia of the spine in postmenopausal women.
Method: 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.
Results: 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; < .001)] was the risk factor, and BMI = >30 [AOR 0.36 (0.28-0.58; < .001)] and BMI 25-<30 [AOR 0.55 (0.34-0.88; = .012)] were protective factors. Hyperthyroidism (AOR 23.43, = .010), Kurdish ethnicity (AOR 2.96, = .009), not having regular exercise (AOR 2.22, = .012), previous fracture history (AOR 2.15, = .041)], and age (AOR 1.14, < .001)], were risk factors for osteoporosis, while BMI ≥30 [AOR 0.09, < .001], BMI 25-<30 [AOR 0.28, = .001], and diabetes [AOR 0.41, = .038] were protective factors for osteoporosis of the spine.
Conclusion: Hyperthyroidism, low BMI <25, parity ≥ 6, Kurdish ethnicity, not having regular exercise, history of previous fracture, and age, were risk factors for osteoporosis of the spine respectively, while low BMI and age were risk factors for osteopenia.

Background: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory disorder marked by eosinophilic infiltration of the esophageal mucosa. Despite advances in understanding and management, optimal therapeutic strategies remain unclear, with conflicting guidelines.
Objective: We sought to evaluate effectiveness and safety of topical corticosteroids (TCSs) and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in managing EoE and their economic implications in Italy.

Unlabelled: Low-sodium salt has a protective effect on BMD and also reduces the risk of osteopenia due to elevated blood glucose. This provides a direct and effective way to improve bone health in patients with hyperglycemia.
Objective: There is no consensus on the relationship between salt type and bone mineral density (BMD).

Unlabelled: Dietary quality may be a factor in the progression of non-communicable, chronic diseases. This analysis of NHANES data demonstrates association between consumption of UPF and prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia in adults 50 years and older. UPF intake is an important consideration when recommending dietary patterns for optimum bone health PURPOSE: Declining bone mineral density in older adults can result in osteoporosis, leading to decreased physical function, quality of life, and increased risk of mortality.
