“…3 In Korea, the number of patients with osteoporosis increased annually by 13% between 2005 and 2009. 4 According to a recent model in the Korean Osteoporosis Risk-Assessment, the prevalence of osteoporosis was estimated to be 33.9% among postmenopausal women aged 50 years or older. 5 Another study reported that among 39.1% of osteoporotic women in Korea, only 23.5% are undergoing treatment.…”

“…Height is recognized as one of the risk factors for osteoporosis in several types of research. [23][24][25][26][27] In our analysis, the results revealed that the average height of the patients with osteoporosis was significantly lower than the non-osteoporosis group. Compared with other research in which the study group focused on people of middle age, high body height is the risk factor for osteoporosis.…”

PurposeThis article is aimed to evaluate through quantification the prevalence and related aspects of osteoporosis among the aging people working in the fishing and agricultural areas in Taipei, Taiwan. MethodsThe population (n=4360) aged 65 years and above and who were admitted to a teaching hospital for a physical examination in 2010 were involved in this study. Osteoporosis is defined as bone mineral density (BMD) of 2.5 standard deviation (SD) or more under the young adult mean value (−2.5 SD or inferior). ResultsThe population presented an over-occurrence of osteoporosis, scoring 34.4%, and exposed a statistically important rise with cumulative age (P<0.001). Female population displayed a higher incidence than male population (48.1% vs. 26.4%; P<0.001). The age-specific frequency of osteoporosis in 65-74 years, 75-84 years, and ≥85 years was 27.7, 40.0, and 56.7%, respectively. The multinomial logistic regression showed that age (odds ratio [OR]=1.

Background: Height loss is a simple clinical measure associated with increased fracture risk. However, limited data exists on the association between height loss and fracture risk in postmenopausal Korean women. It is unknown whether this association varies with age.Methods: Data on height loss over a 6-year period were collected from a community-based longitudinal follow-up cohort (Ansung cohort of the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study). Incident fractures were defined based on self-reported fractures after excluding those due to severe trauma or toes/fingers. The association between incident fractures and height loss was investigated using a Cox proportional hazards model.Results: During a median follow-up of 10 years after the second visit, 259/1,806 participants (median age, 64 years) experienced incident fractures. Overall, a 1 standard deviation (SD) decrease in height (1.6 cm/median 5.8 years) was associated with 9% increased risk of fracture (hazard ratio [HR], 1.09; P=0.037), which lost statistical significance after adjustment for covariates. When stratified into age groups (50–59, 60–69, 70 years or older), a 1 SD decrease in height remained a robust predictor of fracture in the 50 to 59 years age group after adjusting for covariates (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.52; P=0.003), whereas height loss was not an independent predictor of fracture in the 60 to 69 (aHR, 1.06; P=0.333) or the 70 years or older age groups (aHR, 1.05; P=0.700; P for interaction <0.05, for all).Conclusion: Height loss during the previous 6 years was associated with an increased 10-year fracture risk in postmenopausal women in their 50s.
