OSTEOPOROSIS RISK ASSESSMENT FOR COMMUNITY-DWELLING OLDER ADULTS: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY IN HO CHI MINH CITY
Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
Background: Osteoporosis is a common feature in the elderly population. Despite many review articles mentioning osteoporosis in inpatients, there is a lack of original research directly investigating osteoporosis in the community, particularly among the elderly population. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the risk of osteoporosis in individuals and to determine some related factors associated with the risk using the OSTA and OSTC tools among community-dwelling elderly adults in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study started in January 2024 and was conducted for six months. Multi-level mixed methods sampling was used to randomly select 6 out of 12 wards in District 5, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. We studied 285 participants aged 60 years and older who were invited for a routine medical check-up in a health center. Results: The mean OSTA value of the elderly participating in the study was 2.97 2.50, in which the high and medium-risk groups of osteoporosis accounted for 26.3% and 59.0%, respectively. The elderly had a risk of osteoporosis according to the OSTC score of 97.9%. The high risk of osteoporosis was associated with age (aOR 21.06, 95% CI 6.80 to 65.24), BMI (aOR 10.88, 95% CI 3.63 to 32.59) and gender (aOR=2.79, 95% CI 1.25 to 6.26). Conclusions: In conclusion, the findings indicate a high prevalence of osteoporosis risk among the elderly in a district of Ho Chi Minh City, as assessed by the OSTA and OSTC scores. Elderly persons suffer an increased risk of osteoporosis with age and a reduced nutritional state. Research indicates that OSTA is an effective tool, consistent with earlier studies focused on Vietnamese populations. It is straightforward and user-friendly. Utilizing OSTA may motivate both patients and clinicians to evaluate osteoporosis risk and recommend bone mineral density (BMD) measurements as needed, potentially preventing severe events before they occur in the future.
