Risk factors for low BMD in healthy men age 50 years or older: a systematic review

Abstract: Summary-In this systematic review, we summarize risk factors for low bone mineral density and bone loss in healthy men age 50 years or older. Consistent risk factors were: age, smoking, low weight, physical/functional limitations, and previous fracture. Data specific to men has clinical and policy implications.Introduction-Osteoporosis is a significant health care problem in men as well as women, yet the majority of evidence on diagnosis and management of osteoporosis is focused on postmenopausal women. The ob… Show more

“…The results of our study demonstrate a positive correlation between BMD at the regions of the proximal femur and weight or body mass index. Low body weight is known to be a risk factor for low BMD in the general population and several studies in CKD patients observed the same relationship [40][41][42][43] .…”

“…A meta-analysis of exercise intervention studies has shown that a range of physical activities is associated with at least some reduction in bone loss among postmenopausal women [12]. For men, a review of the literature concluded that PA has bone-positive effects, but this conclusion was largely based on smaller and less representative populations [13]. Thus, evidence is inconsistent on the relationship between PA and longitudinal BMD changes in older women and men, and studies have not included longitudinal measurements in population-based studies of men and women with additional demographic data relevant to public health stakeholders.…”

“…Male patients with osteoporosis have rarely been the focus of previous studies (Dy et al, 2011). Most studies involving males with osteoporosis have addressed prevalence, life time risk and risk factors for osteoporosis-related fractures (Papaioannou et al, 2009), or results of therapeutic interventions (Amin, 2003). Unlike previous studies, in this study we investigated the relationship between erectile dysfunction and osteoporosis in men; also we discussed the probable pathophysiology of these two diseases.…”
