Aims: Hip fractures are associated with high mortality, one of the most important risk factors of which is low bone density; The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between bone density and hip fractures.
Materials & Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed with the participation of 200 participants (100 patients and 100 healthy individuals) in the orthopedic hospital of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. Patients with hip fractures were assessed for bone mineral density by Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry and their bone mineral density was compared with that of healthy individuals by t-test.
Findings: The bone density in elderly patients had positive relationships with the history of hypertension (p=0.045), history of diabetes (p=0.014), history of previous bone fractures (p=0.001) and smoking (p=0.019). The T-index in elderly patients had positive relationships with the history of hypertension (p=0.048), history of diabetes (p=0.037), previous history of bone fractures (p=0.001) and smoking (p=0.017). The Z-index in elderly patients had positive relationships with the history of hypertension (p=0.049), history of diabetes (p=0.041), previous history of bone fractures (p=0.001) and smoking (p=0.027).
Conclusion: Osteoporosis is the leading cause of fractures in the elderly, and factors such as a history of bone fractures, old age, diabetes and high blood pressure, as well as smoking can increase its severity. The gold standard for diagnosing this problem is measuring bone density.
