“…In our study, many women with normal T-scores were obese (based on their BMI and WC) compared to those with osteoporosis and osteopenia. These results are consistent with previous studies done in Chinese population [25][26][27]. Kim et al, found high body weight and BMI are positively related to high BMD among Korean postmenopausal female (n = 907), aged 60-79 years [28].…”

Background: Osteoporosis and menopausal women’s health had paucity data from Africa, especially Sub-Saharan countries. The current study aimed to assess the relationship between lipid profile, atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP), anthropometric measurements, and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among osteoporotic Sudanese postmenopausal women.Methods: An epidemiological, cross-sectional comparative, community-based study was conducted. Postmenopausal women (n = 300), aged 47- 90 years, with an average one year postmenopause, were recruited from various centers in Khartoum State. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) was used to assess bone density. DEXA scan was interpreted in terms of T-score as per World Health Organization guidelines. Weight, height, and waist circumference were measured twice following standard protocols. In addition, fasting blood samples (5ml) were collected for the determination of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). AIP was calculated as an indicator for CVD risk. Blood samples were assayed on the Roche/Hitachi Cobas c311 system (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Germany). Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS version 26. Results: The mean age of the postmenopausal women was 61.7±10.3 years, with 80 women having normal T-score and an equal number of osteoporotic and osteopenic (n = 110 each). Most women (59%) aged 47-64 years. The prevalence of osteoporosis was 36.7%. Many postmenopausal women with normal BMD suffered from general (68%) and central obesity (94%) compared with their counterparts. Hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, high LDL-C, hypo-HDL-C were identified among 26.4%, 31%, 16.3%, and 32.7% osteoporotic women respectively. Osteoporotic postmenopausal (36.4%) women had medium to high risk of CVD according to their AIPs. There was a significantly inverse correlation between age and HDL-C (r= -0.205; p=0.032) whereas positive association between AIP and TC (r=0.230; p=0.016), among osteoporotic women. Osteoporotic (52%) and osteopenic (42%) women had ≥2 CVD risk factors. Multiple Linear regression analysis showed T-score value decreased significantly with age and AIP and increased with BMI. Conclusion: Osteoporosis is prevalent among Sudanese postmenopausal women who are at increased risk for CVD. Necessary steps are needed for public education and wider dissemination of information about osteoporosis, CVD and their prevention.

“…7 Similarly, study conducted in Nigeria also showed that non participation in sporting activities at younger ages and lack of interest in occupational activities were significantly associated with the prevalence of osteoporosis. 10 Our result is compatible with another study conducted during 2015-2016 at University Clinical Center of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina depicting that physical activity was a key to good bone health (p=0.036). 12 We found that 67.2% who exposed to sunlight, 43% were osteopenic and 11.2% were osteoporotic and among 32.8% who had not exposed to sunlight 23.2% were osteopenic and 4.3% were osteoporotic due to extremes of weather in this part of country.…”

“…This is comparable to a study conducted in Nigeria which showed that point prevalence of osteoporosis (56.9%) was high among females than males (males = 43.7% and females = 65.8%). 10 Another similar study conducted in Karachi also showed that factors that were statistically significantly, associated with low bone mineral density was female gender for osteoporosis. 7 In another study conducted at Oman revealed that osteoporosis is strongly associated with female gender.…”

Osteoporosis means “porous bone”. This condition occurs when body lose minerals like calcium more than body can replace it and this leads to thinning of bone mass and increase fragility of bones. This disease is a silent public health issue because of its increasing morbidities, mortalities and disabilities. Objectives: 1. To determine the frequency of osteoporosis and osteopenia. 2. To find out risk factors associated with osteoporosis and osteopenia. Study Design: This was a Cross Sectional study. Setting: In a private sector Medical College of Faisalabad. Period: From 1st June 2018 to 1st December 2018. Material & Methods: After approval from ethical review committee, this study was conducted through the BMD screening camps held in a private sector Medical College of Faisalabad. It was a cross-sectional study. Data was collected through well-structured close-ended questionnaire. Convenient sampling was done. Calcaneal quantitative ultrasound machine was used to assess bone mineral density of the participants through their right heel. BMD values in the form of T-score were converted by machine. Results: Out of 116 participants 20 (17%) were male and 96 (83%) were female. Factors that were statistically (p ≤0.05) associated with osteoporosis and osteopenia were female gender and inadequate physical activity. More than 50% of the women had either osteoporosis or osteopenia and doing regular physical activity were mainly significant determinants. Exposure to sunlight was not associated with the low BMD or osteoporosis (p>0.05). Conclusion: It is concluded from this study that important modifiable risk factors like increase in calcium and vitamin D intake and life style modification can improve bone health. Health education and awareness programs with special reference to balanced diet should be held to educate general population.

“…This continuous calcium deficiency state during adolescence could lead to depletion of calcium stores thereby resulting to osteoporosis which is characterized by low bone mass and deterioration in the microarchitecture of bone tissue, leading to an increased risk of fracture in later years [ 12 ]. Though osteoporosis is not considered a childhood disease, early onset at 10 to 13 years old has been reported [ 10 , 11 ], and it has become an emerging public health problem in Nigeria because of its complications and attendant morbidity and mortality [ 13 , 14 ]. This finding suggests the need to focus on early lifetime measures to prevent bone loss and degradation later in life.…”
