Risk factors of bone mineral density deficit and low-energy fractures in primary osteoporosis in men

Abstract: Purpose: to evaluate the role of well-known factors on the formation of bone mineral density (BMD) and risk of fractures in primary osteoporosis in men. Patients and methods. The influence of well-known osteoporosis risk factors such as age, smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, genetic disorders in genes encoding COL1A1, COL1A2 and VDR-receptor products, history of low-energy fractures in first-line relatives upon the BMD value and risk of fractures was evaluated in 231 patients with primary osteoporosis.

“…While examining 231 men, the researchers found that smoking, alcohol consumption, age, mutations in homozygous form of gene rs2412298 and presence of low-energy (fragility) fractures in the first kinship relatives increased the low-energy (fragility) vertebral fracture, and less frequently, the proximal femur fracture risk [25]. The authors claim that the low BMD values associated with genetic disorders may testify to the fact that osteoporosis in the older males has a "pediatric" origin, while age, along with the smoking and alcohol addiction, is the vertebral fracture risk factor.…”
