A review of lifestyle, smoking and other modifiable risk factors for osteoporotic fractures

Abstract: Although many strong risk factors for osteoporosis-such as family history, fracture history and age-are not modifiable, a number of important risk factors are potential targets for intervention. Thus, simple, non-pharmacological intervention in patients at increased risk of osteoporotic fractures could include reduction of excessive alcohol intake, smoking cessation, adequate nutrition, patient education, daily physical activity and a careful review of medications that could increase the risk of falls and frac… Show more

“…Similar results have previously been shown in women [10,11,12,13,14]. Increase in age is a potential non-modifiable risk factor for osteopenia and osteoporosis [1,4,5,10]. This was evident among both the premenopausal and postmenopausal women included in our study.…”

“…Osteopenia and osteoporosis are associated with several modifiable/non-modifiable risk factors [1,2]. Generally, both conditions are more common in the elderly [3,4,5,6], especially in females [7,8,9].…”

“…Drugs being developed or used for treating osteoporosis include estrogen replacement therapy, calcitonin, selective estrogen receptor modulators, and diphosphate. Although these drugs prevent bone resorption, their effects on bone formation are extremely small (Abrahamsen et al, 2014;Bandeira et al, 2014;Chen and Kubo, 2014;Kulak et al, 2014).…”

“…Any potentially modifiable risk factor should be addressed where at all possible. It might be remarked upon, however, that although most clinicians would consider this good practice, and would certainly seem sensible, we have little in the way of trial evidence to confirm our practice [6]. For example, exercise intervention programs have on occasion increased fracture rates through an increased fall rate [7].…”
