Body weight, BMI, and stature have a protective effect on bone mineral density in women with postmenopausal vertebral osteoporosis, whereas greater age at menarche and years after menopause have a negative effect

To investigate the influencing factors that influence the mental and bone health status of older women. Methods: A total of 576 older women aged more than 75 years old were recruited from 30 communities. Participants completed the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). Participants' bone mineral density was measured by ultrasound bone densitometer or dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results: The average K10 score was (14.78±4.23). There were 352 subjects (61.11%) in "good" mental health status, 158(27.43%) in general status and 66(11.46%) in poor status. There were 315 older women(54.69%) who developed OP, and they had significantly higher K10 score than the non-OP subjects. A Multivariate Logistic Regression analysis showed that poor mental status, aging, age at menarche <16 years, long time of menopause, more delivery times were the risk factors for OP in older women, while regular exercise and high BMI were the protective factors against OP in older women. Pearson Correlation Coefficient analysis showed that bone mineral density was negatively correlated with K10 score. Conclusion: Mental and bone health of older women are affected by a variety of factors. Clinical care can focus on providing comprehensive prevention and control of these factors.

Introduction: Osteoporosis is generally associated with menopause. Scientific research has shown the existence of several factors involved in decreasing bone density in post-menopausal women.Goal: The aim of the review study is to map in detail the prevalence of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women in the context of postmenopausal age, postmenopausal duration, women's BMI and selected behavioural factors. Methods: Relevant sources were selected in 2020 using search services and sources in electronic databases (PubMed, BioMed Central, Web of Science). The analytical review was performed using PRISMA and PICO tools. Results and discussion: In analysing the available studies, we found that the most frequently observed significant findings showed a relationship between the prevalence of osteoporosis and age at menopause and the prevalence of osteoporosis and advancing age in postmenopause. Opinions differ on the influence of BMI as a protective or risk factor. Some behavioural factors that are preventable can have a significant effect on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. The results of several studies suggest an association between the prevalence of osteoporosis and smoking and alcohol consumption. Conclusions: Menopause is a critical period for bone health. The incidence of osteoporosis increases with increasing age of postmenopausal women. As part of prevention, it is recommended to have a suitable type of diet, exposure to sunlight, regular exercise and to stop smoking and drinking alcohol.
