“…It is still much discussed whether the consumption of alcohol is a risk factor or protection factor for BMD. Studies indicate that, besides the amount of alcohol ingested, the quality of the alcohol can affect this association [ 27 ]. This could be related to the beneficial influence of nonalcoholic compositions on the health of bones [ 27 ].…”

Objective. Analysis of bone mineral density (BMD) in the elderly and its associated factors according to sex. Methods. A cross-sectional study is presented herein, with a random sample of 132 noninstitutionalized elderly people. Individuals who did not use diuretics were excluded. BMD was obtained from examination of total body densitometry and its association with sociodemographic variables, lifestyle, anthropometric, and body composition was verified. Results. Mean BMD for men was 1.17 ± 0.12 g/cm2 and for women was 1.04 ± 0.11 g/cm2. Higher education was associated with higher BMD values in men (p < 0.05). There was a reduction in BMD in the age group 75–79 years of age in women and over 80 years of age in men (p < 0.05). Underweight was associated with significantly low BMD for both sexes (p < 0.01), while normal weight was associated with low BMD in women (p < 0.001). Discussion. The elderly with low schooling and in older age groups are more probable to also present low BMD. Lower levels of body mass index also indicated towards low BMD.

“…Several epidemiological studies have shown that high dietary caffeine intake is associated with reduced BMD and increased urinary calcium loss [ 8 , 13 ]. In addition, both alcohol and caffeine have been implicated in the development of osteoporosis in patients at risk [ 11 , 13 , 14 ]. These factors are associated with an increased risk of hip fracture [ 6 , 15 ].…”

IntroductionThe aim of this study was to determine the best site for bone mineral density (BMD) measurements based on T-scores, age, and beverage consumption.Material and methodsIn this prospective study, 271 women stratified by age (average age: 61.9 years) underwent dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scanning of their lumbar spine, hips, and forearms. Osteoporosis was defined as a BMD of 2.5 standard deviations or more below the mean peak bone mass based on a reference population of adult women (translated as a T-score ≤ –2.5), as measured by DEXA. Participants were also evaluated regarding alcohol and caffeine consumption by a semiquantitative questionnaire.ResultsA significant discrepancy was observed in the classification of osteoporosis at different locations, with hip and forearm showing the best correlation (Pearson’s r = 0.627, p < 0.001). In addition, for participants over 50 years of age, hip and forearm showed the best correlation. Significant correlations were also noted between forearm T-scores and caffeine consumed and, to a lesser extent, the level of alcohol consumption. In the group ≤ 50 years of age, lumbar spine and forearm T-scores were only associated with alcohol consumption. In the group over 50 years of age, hip and forearm T-scores were only associated with caffeine consumption.ConclusionsBone mineral density measurements at the hip and forearm correlated with caffeine consumption in elderly Taiwanese women. This is an important finding since age and caffeine consumption are known risk factors for osteoporosis.

ObjectivesThis analytic retrospective case-control study was designed to analyze risk factors and the epidemiological profile of hip fractures among the Indian population with special importance to the mechanism of injuries.MethodsPatients of hip fractures (n = 41) and age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers (n = 41) were interviewed by a questionnaire regarding the occurrence of the fracture, past history of diseases and long-term medication usage, past and physical activity, supplements, smoking, and alcohol intake. The data were tabulated using descriptive statistics and logistic regression was used to determine significant risk factors.ResultsAge group 60–69 was found to be most affected by hip fractures, though an early onset of fractures was noted in males. Falls due to slipping indoors from standing position was found very commonly. However, an increasing trend of falls was noted from lying down position in the older age groups which was more common during the morning and night hours. Logistic regression analysis for the detection of risk factors was applied to the various variables in the questionnaire. Active status in the past was inversely related (odds ratio [OR], 0.33; P < 0.05) to fracture risk while alternative medication usage in the past 1 year (OR, 4.086; P < 0.05) and significant alcohol consumption were directly associated with fracture risk (OR, 5.484; P < 0.05). A potential inverse relation of use of calcium supplements in the past 3 months and fracture risk (OR, 0.872) was seen, although this was not significant. A potential positive relation of smoking with hip fractures was also seen, but not found significant (OR, 2.204).ConclusionsHip fractures in the elderly population are on a rising trend especially in the Indian subcontinent due to a number of factors both hereditary and acquired. Simple measures like routine usage of bedside railing, wall-side railings at an appropriate height, high friction tiles inside rooms and washrooms, and adequate lighting indoors can play a significant role in reducing falls and hip fractures among the elderly.
