“…The machine normal reference range for male subjects was used to determine T-scores since Zerbini et al [20], comparing these data with the BMD of 288 Brazilian men, observed no significant differences between the Brazilian and US/European male population for BMD in the femoral neck.…”

The objective of this study was to analyze the risk factors for osteoporosis in 325 volunteer men aged 50 years or older. Participants completed questionnaires including demographic and social information, personal medical history, maternal and paternal history of bone fracture after the age of 50 years, smoking habit, alcoholic beverage consumption, calcium intake and present and past physical activities. The individuals were submitted to bone densitometry of the femoral neck and to anthropometric measurements. The chi2 test and multiple logistic regression were used to evaluate the association between the independent variables and the presence of osteoporosis. We concluded that the independent risk factors for osteoporosis were body mass index, present practice of physical/leisure activity (last 12 months), age, present and past smoking habit, no current thiazide diuretic use, white race and maternal history of fracture after the age of 50 years.

Dietary intake of Brazilian black and white men and its relationship to the bone mineral density of the femoral neck Heliópolis Hospital and Faculdade de Saúde Pública da Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil INTRODUCTIONOsteoporosis is an important public health problem because of the significant morbidity and mortality associated with bone fractures and the high cost of treatment. 1Osteoporosis and fragility fractures in men constitute a considerable health care burden. The risk of fracture is directly associated with bone mineral density (BMD).3 Bone loss is expected with age, 4,5 and it dramatically increases the incidence of hip and vertebral fractures in both men and women. 6 The frequency of occurrence of bone fractures in South America is lower than in other regions of the world; however, it is possible that this problem is becoming intensifi ed due to the increasing life expectancy of the population on this continent. 7Although bone loss occurs with age for everybody, the incidence of bone loss fractures varies greatly between racial groups. 8 Higher bone mass has been observed in black individuals than in white individuals. 9,10 Calcium intake is a signifi cant determinant of BMD. In countries with high osteoporotic fracture incidence, low calcium intake among older men and women is associated with increased fracture risk.11 On the other hand, inadequate protein intake, when too high or too low, increases the risk of osteoporotic fractures. 6,11 Low body weight is related to bone mass decline and to increased risk of osteoporotic fractures. 12 It should be noted that the majority of studies on dietary intake, bone mass and osteoporosis have been carried out in developed countries, where the population's lifestyle and food consumption are very different from those of developing nations. Moreover, although it is known that there are important differences in bone mineral density between black and non-black individuals, the study of dietary intake differences in racial groups has received little attention. OBJECTIVEThe aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between calcium, protein and energy intake and the bone mineral density of the femoral neck (FNBMD) in Brazilian men aged 50 years and older, comparing black and white individuals. METHODS Population PopulationThis was a cross-sectional study involving volunteer men. From February to August 1997, we recruited 307 healthy male subjects aged 50 years or older, all resident in the city of São Paulo (southeastern Brazil). They were men whose wives had been referred by their primary care physicians for a bone densitometry scan, or who had responded to a newspaper advertisement.We excluded from the study men using any kind of medication or having medical conditions that could affect bone metabolism: there was one individual with cancer of the colon, one with multiple myeloma, one with hyperthyroidism and one with rheumatoid arthritis. Twenty-two individuals were excluded due to the lack of bone densitometry data and 25 individuals w...

“…6 In 2000, Zerbini et al published the densitometric analysis of 288 Brazilian men aged 50 years or older (mean age 62.5 years), concluding that hip BMD was similar in the population studied, compared to the North American and European, but this study did not include very elderly men (80 years old or more), or presented a percentage of men with osteoporosis, allowing the comparison of prevalences. 7 The lack of studies on the prevalence of osteoporosis in men in Brazil and the results found in this study reinforce the importance of health care policies aimed to the male population to prevent and treat osteoporosis, in order to reduce the risk of fractures. Most data from literature comes from foreign populations, and the treatment of male osteoporosis was done with bisphosphonates and teriparatide.…”

Introduction: Men osteoporosis remains poorly diagnosed. The objective of this study was to measure bone mineral density (BMD) and the prevalence of osteoporosis in a group of men. Patients and methods: 151 men (ages 50-93 years) in good health, from an outpatient clinic for routine urologic evaluation performed the measurement of bone density of lumbar spine and femoral regions. Results: Age had a negative influence on femoral neck BMD and T-Score (rs = 0.49 and 0.73, respectively, P ≤ 0.0001) using the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Femoral neck osteoporosis was detected in 25.16% (n = 38). Most of the osteoporotic patients (81.56%) were over 70 years old, and 47.37% of them were very old (aged 80 years or more). Beside age, hypogonadism induced by GnRH analogues and cyproterone acetate for treatment of prostate cancer, anticoagulants, coronary revascularization history and alcohol were risk factors identified in about 18% of the osteoporotic group. Conclusion: All men over 70 years old and younger men with risk factors for osteoporosis should be submitted to a bone densitometry.
