“…Researchers reported that femoral neck and total hip BMD values were related with the occupational character. They further revealed that that the skeletal status was considerably healthier with women who stand while working in comparison to those who sit while working, but both did not affect the incidence of fractures 4. In multiple logistic regression analysis, the profession was not found as a predictive factor against BMD.…”

“…Fractures among postmenopausal women have an enormous economic impact and high financial burden on health system due to increasing utilization of health resources, hospitalization, nursing home requirements, loss of productivity and reduced mobility after hip fractures 3. In Pakistan, the reported prevalence of osteopenia is 34%-72.9%, and OP is 2.4%-30.90% 4. Makhdoom et al (2014), found that 30.9% and 45.60% Pakistani females were osteoporotic and osteopenic, respectively 5.…”

Background & Objective: The “silent thief” of bone osteoporosis is associated with various modifiable factors, identifying these factors is important in decreasing the prevalence of this highly prevalent disease. Therefore, this study was planned to identify these risk factors for osteoporosis in premenopausal and postmenopausal Pakistani women. Methods: A total of 1205 pre and postmenopausal females between the age of 20 to 80 years were selected. Detailed history about the socio-demographic characteristics including age, education, profession, marital and resident status was recorded. Medical and gynecological history was also taken after informed consent Bone health of females was assessed using calcaneal ultrasound bone densitometer. SPSS 22.0 was used to analyze data. Results: Univariate analysis showed that age (30-39 yrs, and 60-69 yrs), occupation (housewives) and education (secondary and primary education, illiterate) were significantly associated with low bone mass density (LBMD). Multivariate analysis showed that age 30-39 years (OR=0.25 95%CI 0.13 – 0.49), age 40-49 years (OR=0.30 95%CI 0.15 – 0.59), age 50-59 years (OR=0.42 95%CI 0.22 – 0.79), primary education (OR=3.83, 95%CI 2.30 - 6.38) and illiteracy (OR=3.83 95%CI 2.52 – 5.82), were significantly associated with LBMD. The prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis was 29.8%, 27.2%, respectively, while 43% of subjects had normal BMD. Conclusion: It is concluded that within Pakistani population, the prevalence of osteopenia is high even at an early age group and the odds of having LBMD are more in less educated or illiterate women. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.3.551 How to cite this:Tariq S, Baig M, Tariq S, Shahzad M.

“…Women aged 45-70 years, the prevalence regarding osteoporosis and osteopenia has been observed for being 16 and 34%, respectively (Sultan et al, 2006). In KP Province a same review showed an epidemic of 29 and 42% (Lowe et al, 2008). More than two hundred million people worldwide suffer from osteoporosis.…”

Osteoporosis is increasingly being recognized by the medical fraternity as a significant health problem. This research was designed to study the incidence of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women and its relation to body mass index, body muscles, body fat and mineral status (calcium and phosphorus). Thirty samples of post-menopausal women aging between 45-60 years were divided into 3 groups. Body weight and height seemed to be tested through the use of electronic weighing balance and Stadiometer. Body muscles and fat percentage were determined through Beurer GmBH BLACK Blr.64. Bone mineral density was calculated by bone densitometry. Serum concentration of calcium and phosphorus was determined by spectrophotometer. The data obtained was subjected to Analysis of Variance. Results showed the significant decrease in body muscle, bone mineral density and serum calcium with increasing age. It was concluded that body weight, body muscles, body fat, bone mineral density, serum calcium and phosphorus had significant association with age and osteoporosis. Body fat and serum phosphorus increases with age in post-menopausal women. Body mass index and height had non-significant association with age and osteoporosis.

“…The incidence of osteoporotic hip fracture is steadily increasing in the developed as well as developing countries [24][25][26]. Lifestyle prevention of osteoporosis is in many aspects the inverse of the potentially modifiable risk factors.…”
