Background and Aim: Osteoporosis significantly compromises the quality of life of postmenopausal women. There are DALY (Disability-Adjusted Life Years) losses for postmenopausal women who suffer from osteoporosis. Therefore, this study was taken up with the objective to determine prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis among postmenopausal women and to study the association of their anthropometric parameters and lifestyle factors with their bone mineral density (BMD). To study the determinants of BMD among postmenopausal women with special reference to anthropometric and lifestyle factors in an urban slum. Materials and Methods: A community-based, cross-sectional study was conducted in an urban slum of Mumbai. The study was conducted among 148 postmenopausal women. BMD of the study group was measured using portable, noninvasive Calcaneum Ultrasound Bone Densitometer, and T-score reading was noted. Lifestyle factors and dietary habits were assessed through a prestructured, validated questionnaire. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated with a standard procedure. No trial was conducted in the study. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (version 20) was used for statistical analysis. Results: The prevalence of osteopenia among study participants was found to be 43.9% and that of osteoporosis was 12.8%. Their BMI was in the range of 16.44–39.18 kg/m2. Walking, stretching exercises, and yoga were the form of exercise being practiced by 29.1% of postmenopausal women. Conclusions: BMD was significantly associated with age, socioeconomic status, BMI, exercise, walking, and consumption of fruits. Negative correlation was found between duration since menopause and BMD T-score reading, which implied that duration since menopause had an inverse relationship with BMD.

“…In addition, osteoporotic fractures occurred in approximately 17.4% of people residing in Southeast Asia. 4 Moreover, it is estimated that osteoporotic hip fractures occurring in Asia are the cause of 50% of all osteoporotic Article history: energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is the most commonly used method. 15,16 In this study, the distal forearm BMD of the people who inhabit those three districts was measured by peripheral DEXA (pDEXA).…”

Background: We previously reported distal forearm bone mineral density (BMD) information for individuals residing in Mae Chaem and Omkoi districts, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. Objective: This study was aimed to observe distal forearm BMD in residents of Doi Lo District and compare this data with individuals residing in Mae Chaem District and Omkoi District in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. Materials and methods: Two hundred fifty-one subjects (215 women, 36 men), aged 24 to 69 years, currently reside in Doi Lo District. BMD was measured on the non-dominant distal forearm using peripheral dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (pDEXA). Subsequently, data from Doi Lo District were compared with data from Mae Chaem District and Omkoi District obtained from earlier studies. Results: Distal forearm BMD decreased, and the prevalence of osteoporosis increased in both females and males across age groups. This trend was consistent with data from Mae Chaem District and Omkoi District. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the prevalence of distal forearm BMD and osteoporosis among females and males in Doi Lo District. The findings from Doi Lo District were consistent with those from Mae Chaem District and Omkoi District in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. These results provide valuable insights into bone health among residents of Chiang Mai Province, Thailand.

“…Osteoporosis is a silent disease; if it remains undiagnosed and untreated nearly 60% of women will sustain fragility fractures during their life time. 1 The reported prevalence of osteoporosis among Indian women varies between 53% to 81%. 2,3 The current life expectancy for India in 2022 is 70.19 years.…”

Background: To determine the prevalence of osteoporosis among pre and post menopausal women using quantitative ultrasound of calcaneal bone and to identify the risk factors associated with osteoporosis.Methods: This prospective community based epidemiological study was conducted during 2019 in a suburban area attached to Sri Muthu Kumaran Medical College Hospital and Research Institute, Chennai. 305 subjects met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Using a structured questionnaire, demographic details, obstetric, gynaecological and medical history were collected. Quantitative ultrasound of the calcaneal bone was used to calculate the bone mineral density. Using statistical methods, risk factors for osteoporosis were analysed.Results: The mean age of the participants was 52.67±9.41 years, 62.2% were post menopausal and 37.38% were premenopausal. The BMD ‘T’ score was normal in 29.8%, osteopenia was diagnosed in 38.4% and osteoporosis in 31.8% of participants. 14% of premenopausal women and 42.4% of postmenopausal women were osteoporotic. Age, menopausal status, duration of menopause, and previous history of fractures emerged as significant risk factors for osteoporosis.Conclusions: The prevalence of osteoporosis is high among both pre-menopausal and menopausal women, but the awareness is limited. This study highlights the need for screening all women after the age of 40 years which is feasible using portable and easily available technology such as quantitative ultrasound of peripheral bones.
