Evaluation of physical capacity and quality of life in osteoporotic women

Abstract

Energy expenditure showed a correlation with the angle of thoracic kyphosis. Patients with or without osteoporosis showed the same energy expenditure during the walking period. The SF-36 score was similar for the three groups.

Health-related quality of life in older people with osteoporotic vertebral fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Sixteen studies that met all inclusion criteria were included in the final analysis [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] with a total of 3131 men and women (1698 with vertebral fracture, and 1433 without vertebral fracture). Fourteen of these studies were cross-sectional [13-17, 19, 20, 22-28], one case-control [21], and one baseline data from an RCT [18].…”

“…Osteoporosis was defined as T score ≤ 2.5 SD, and lumbar BMD was measured in five studies [19][20][21][22]24], eight studies reported lumbar or/and hip BMD [13, 16-18, 23, 25, 27, 28], and in three studies the site of DXA scan was not mentioned [14,15,26]. Vertebral fractures were identified using Semi-quantitative (SQ) method in 11 studies [13, 16, 17, 21-25, 27, 28], quantitative morphometric (QM) method in two studies [14,19], the SQ, the binary semi quantitative (BSQ), and the QM in one study, the Japanese diagnostic criteria in one study [26], and in one study the method is not mentioned [15]. The number of participants with vertebral fracture in each study ranged from 9 [28] to 548 [17].…”

“…Six papers reported HRQoL by using the (QUALEFFO) questionnaire [17,19,20,22,23,25], three used the (SF-36) questionnaire [14,15,28], one used the generic SF-12 [16], one used both QUALEFFO and SF-36 [27], one used SF-36, mini-osteoporosis quality of life questionnaire (OQLQ) and the generic (EQ-5D) [13], one used QUALEFFO and EQ-5D [21], one used QUALEFFO and the World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL-100) [24], one used the generic Nottingham health profile questionnaire (NHP), EQ-5D and QUALEFFO [18], and one used SF-36, the Japanese Osteoporosis Quality of Life Questionnaire (JOQOL), and EQ-5D [26]. The effect size between groups was reported as mean (SD) in all studies apart from Lombardi study [14] which reported effect in median (range).…”

“…The effect size between groups was reported as mean (SD) in all studies apart from Lombardi study [14] which reported effect in median (range). In the combined 16 studies, 2252 participants had HRQoL assessed by QUALEFFO, 654 by SF-36 and 225 by SF-12.…”

“…In 13 studies patients were recruited from secondary care [14,15,[17][18][19][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28], one study recruited patients from primary care [20], one study from both secondary and primary care [13], and one was a population-based study [16]. In 11 studies the age for those with and without vertebral fractures were reported [13, 14, 16-18, 21-23, 25, 27, 28].…”
