“…Compared to South American countries, Chile has a health expenditure similar to the countries in the area. e expense for osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures in Brazil is USD 92 million (2.8 times higher than in Chile) [17], for a population of 209 million (11.7 times higher than the Chilean); hospitalization expense for hip fracture and vertebrae in Argentina is USD 190 million (5.7 times higher than in Chile) [15], for a population of 44 million (2.5 times higher than the Chilean); hospital expenditure for treating hip fractures in Colombia is USD 51 million (1.5 times higher than in Chile) [19,39], for a population of 49 million (2.8 times higher than the Chilean); fragility fracture spending in Mexico is USD 256 million (7.8 times higher than in Chile) [16], for a population of 130 million (7.3 times higher than the Chilean).…”

The osteoporotic hip fracture is associated with a high impact on morbidity, mortality, and health expenditure. The Chilean health system is made up of a mixed care system, with the public system called FONASA and the private system called ISAPRE. The people with lower incomes are listed on FONASA and correspond to 80.8% of the population. The aims of this study were to describe the incidence of hip fracture in the Chilean population from the age of 45 years and to estimate the direct medical cost of this disease. The records of the Department of the Health Statistics and Information of the Ministry of Health were used, from which the number of national hospital discharges due to hip fractures was obtained (codes S720, S721, and S722 of the ICD-10), in adults aged 45 years or older, by sex, from 2006 to 2017. The cost of osteoporotic hip fracture treatment in the public health system was obtained from the data of the surgical treatment according to the payment method associated with diagnosis (PAD bonus). A surgical intervention budget was used in a private clinic to calculate the direct cost of osteoporotic hip fracture in the private system. Between 2006 and 2017, the number of hospital discharges due to osteoporotic hip fracture in adults aged 45 years and older has increased progressively, registering 9.583 hospital discharges for this cause in 2017, which corresponds to 50% more than those recorded in 2006, with a 3 : 1 F/M ratio. The mean annual rate of hip fractures is 148.7 per 100,000 inhabitants aged above 45 years. The individual cost of managing an osteoporotic hip fracture in the public system was USD$ 3,919, and USD$ 9,092 in the private health system. The incidence of hip fracture was comparable with data from Southern European countries and from neighboring countries, such as Argentina and Uruguay. Hospitalization cost of hip fracture in Chile was 34 million USD per year. Hip fracture constitutes a serious healthcare problem in Chile, and efforts for the prevention and management of osteoporosis are needed.

“…In Latin America, studies on the economic impact of osteoporotic fractures (mainly hip fracture) estimate that the annual national expenditure for this cause is 190 million dollars in Argentina [15], 256 million dollars in Mexico [16], and 97 million dollars in Brazil [17].…”

Antecedentes: Los niveles de vitamina D en humanos han sido ampliamente estudiados alrededor el mundo, sin embargo la mayoría de estudios se han realizado en áreas geográficas donde hay estaciones climáticas y una gran variación en la exposición solar de sus pobladores. La hipovitaminosis D, se asocia a baja masa ósea y riesgo aumentado de caídas y fracturas en mujeres postmenopáusicas, la prevalencia de déficit de vitamina D varía entre 11 y 70% en diferentes poblaciones estudiadas. Objetivo. Determinar la prevalencia de hipovitaminosis D, asociado a baja masa ósea en la ciudad de Villavicencio entre enero de 2012 y diciembre de 2013. Materiales y Métodos. Se adelantó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal; de manera secuencial no probabilística se realizó densitometría ósea (DXA) y se midieron las concentraciones séricas de Calcio, Vitamina D y Paratohormona a una muestra de 106 mujeres posmenopáusicas. Resultados. Media de edad 65,9 años (SD=10,4). La media de niveles de Vitamina D en mujeres mayores de 60 años fue de 30,23% (SD: 11,6). Tan solo el 39,6% de las pacientes tenían niveles suficientes de vitamina D, encontrando deficiencia en el 60,37%. Se encuentra una mayor proporción de osteoporosis en las mujeres que presentan deficiencia de Vitamina D (77,3%), cuando se compara con el grupo que se presenta con insuficiencia (64,3%) y con las que tienen concentraciones normales de vitamina D (61,9%). Conclusión. El déficit de vitamina D es altamente prevalente en mujeres con baja masa ósea en la ciudad de Villavicencio, se sugiere la necesidad de intervenciones preventivas en las mujeres, al llegar a la perimenopausia, que permitan incrementar en el aporte de Vitamina D.
