“…Another study regarding the knowledge of osteoporosis in Turkish patients documented that only 54% of the patients undergoing treatment were aware of their disease (10). Likewise, one of the most striking results of this study is that although 24 patients had a history of fragility fracture, only 17 underwent DXA investigation; 15 patients were under osteoporosis treatment when fracture occurred.…”

Objective: There is a lack of information regarding the period between the occurrence of fracture and time until surgical treatment. Despite the presence of epidemiological data on hip fracture, more detailed estimates of time and site of hip fractures are necessary to develop effective fracture prevention policies. The aim of this study is to analyze characteristics of falls resulting in hip fracture in Turkish patients and to document what happens in the early acute phase of the fracture. Methods:A questionnaire was applied to the patients who were hospitalized for osteoporotic hip fracture. The questionnaire included demographic variables, fall frequency, time of fall, site of fall, time taken for admission to health-care, time until operation. Results:The study included 31 female (47.7%) and 34 male (52.3%) patients. The mean age of the population was 79.1±6.7 (range, 54-90 years). Of all fractures, 73.8% (n=48) occurred during the day between 06:00 am and 18:00 pm, and 69.2% (n=45) of the fractures occurred indoors. Most of the fractures occurred on the non-dominant side (n=45; 69.2%). Forty-three patients (66.2%) were admitted to the health care center in less than 2 hours. However, most of them were operated (n=41; 62.1%) after 48 hours of hospital admission. Conclusion:Osteoporotic hip fractures occurred indoors and during the day in Turkish patients. Educational programs may be introduced focusing on indoor precautions for fracture prevention and on increasing osteoporosis awareness. Hip fracture teams may be organized in emergency units.

“…Osteoporosis has recently been recognized as a major public health problem [1,18], it is no longer confined to the growing older population but has implications for all age groups [19]. Hence increasing knowledge of osteoporosis should be a priority for future intervention programs in order to promote specific behavioral strategies for osteoporosis prevention [20].…”

Abstract:Osteoporosis is a growing chronic health problem that could result in mortalities and poor living quality.Although osteoporosis is a preventable disease affecting millions of people, the public awareness remains low and the most effective prevention of this disease is founded during childhood and adolescence when the prevention is actually the easiest. Aim: The current study assessed osteoporosis knowledge among female adolescents students in selected secondary school at El-Minia, Egypt. Methods: Information was gathered through across-sectional survey. Self-administered questionnaire consisted of 58 items assessing knowledge regarding osteoporosis was administered to one hundred and twelve female adolescent aged 15-18 years in one secondary school. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data. Results: Regarding knowledge of the studied sample about osteoporosis, it was found that 38.4 % of the studied sample didn't know the meaning of osteoporosis, more over 75.9 % of them didn't know what to do in the case of osteoporosis. Majority of the studied sample (90.2 %) mentioned exposure to sunlight as one of the preventive measures from osteoporosis. Conclusion: The present study revealed lack of awareness about osteoporosis among female adolescent, hence the findings highlight the need for educational interventions to enhance female adolescents' knowledge about osteoporosis.

“…Previously, in another nationwide study evaluating the educational status of osteoporotic individuals and their awareness about the disease, it was demonstrated that significant differences exist in terms of educational status, clothing style, smoking, level of physical activity, calcium intake, and knowledge about OP between geographical regions of our country. As a result, it was stated that education has profound effects on awareness about OP and many aspects of human behaviour, such as calcium intake, physical activity, clothing style and smoking (11).…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the ones with osteoporosis (OP) in elderly patients presenting with musculoskeletal complaints and to evaluate the distribution of region of pain and the medications used for the musculoskeletal disease(s) in these patients. Materials and Methods: 1141 elderly patients who were consecutively admitted to the outpatient clinics in nine different provinces were screened for the diagnosis of OP. Age, gender, complaints, diagnosis and current medications related to musculoskeletal system disorder(s) were recorded. Results: 382 elderly (341 female, 41 male) with a mean age of 71.9±5.3 years had the diagnosis of OP. Low (54.5%) and upper back (39.6%) pain were the most common complaints in both sexes. These were followed by knee, hip, cervical and shoulder pain, respectively. Osteoarthritis (36%), lumbar (21%) and cervical spondylosis/stenosis (10%) were the most common musculoskeletal diseases accompanying OP. The mean number of drugs used was 3.0±1.2. The most commonly Özet Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı kas iskelet sistemi (KİS) yakınması ile başvuran yaşlı hastalar içerisinden osteoporozu (OP) olanları belirlemek, bu hastaların ağrıyan bölgelerinin dağılımını ve KİS hastalıklarına yönelik kullandıkları ilaçları değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Dokuz farklı şehirdeki polikliniklere ardı sıra başvuran 1141 hasta OP tanısına yönelik olarak tarandı. Hastaların yaşları, cinsiyetleri, kas iskelet sistemine dair başvuru yakınmaları, tanıları ve ilaç kullanımları kaydedildi. Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 71,9±5,3 yıl olan 382 hastanın (341 kadın, 41 erkek) OP tanısı mevcuttu. Her iki cinste de hastaların en sık başvuru yakınmaları bel (%54,5) ve sırt ağrısı (%39,6) olarak belirlendi. Bunları sırasıyla diz, kalça, boyun ve omuz ağrısı takip ediyordu. OP'ye en sık eşlik eden tanılar arasında osteoartrit (%36), lomber spondiloz/stenoz (%21) ve servikal spondiloz/stenoz (%10) ilk sıralarda yer alıyordu. Hastaların kullanmakta olduğu ortalama ilaç sayısı 3±1,2 idi.
