“…The first of these studies was conducted in 2009 on 17 postmenopausal women [15]. The second study was a retrospective analysis of 205 patients, which showed a higher prevalence of osteoporosis than that found in our study [16]. The final study showed a significantly lower prevalence of osteoporosis in approximately 892 women [17].…”

“…In the kingdom of Bahrain, the prevalence data for osteoporosis are limited, and only a few studies were conducted that showed different results [15][16][17]. By conducting this study, we aimed to accurately evaluate the prevalence of osteoporosis in Bahrain and help the health authorities implement plans to reduce the patients' morbidity and improve their quality of life.…”

The objective is to estimate the prevalence of osteoporosis among women in Bahrain who are aged ≥18 years. MethodsIn this retrospective study conducted at Salmaniya Medical Complex, a total of 590 Bahraini women were enrolled. Their bone mineral density measurements were obtained through dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) performed between January 2017 and December 2017. Six sites were chosen as the measurement targets. Patients were diagnosed with osteoporosis if their T-score was > -2.5 according to the World Health Organization guidelines. ResultsOsteoporosis was diagnosed in 27.1% of the patients; 53.2% had osteopenia, 0.3% had severe osteoporosis, and 19.3% had normal bone conditions. The prevalence of osteopenia as well as osteoporosis increased with age. ConclusionOsteoporosis and osteopenia are common among Bahraini women. This study provides useful information on the prevalence of osteoporosis among Bahraini women. Major steps by health authorities in the country are needed to reduce morbidity and improve the quality of life.

“…The data on the prevalence of low BMD in Bahrain is scarce. Indeed, the first study in Bahrain, which was published in 2020, was conducted over two year’s period, in a single center, with a relatively small number of patients (251 patients) [ 25 ]. That study revealed that the prevalence of osteoporosis was 38.5%, which was significantly higher than what we reported in our current study.…”

Objectives the primary aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and risk factors of low bone mineral density in Bahrain. Methods this was a retrospective study, which targeted a cohort of 4822 Bahraini subjects (mean age 59.36 years: 93% females). Demographic data and results of lumbar and femur DEXA scan for the targeted sample, over the period 2016–2018, were retrieved from four hospitals. Results The prevalence of low BMD was 62.3% (46.4% had osteopenia and 15.9% had osteoporosis). The highest rate of osteopenia was detected at the age group younger than 44 years. However, with increasing age, the rate of osteopenia declined, whereas osteoporosis increased (P < 0.001). Females were found to be at higher risk of developing both osteopenia (45.8%) and osteoporosis (18.1%) compared to males (39% and 12.4%, respectively) (P < 0.001). Postmenopausal women exhibited higher rates of low BMD (42.4% osteopenia, 22.3% osteoporosis) compared to elderly men (30.9% osteopenia, 9% osteoporosis). Conclusions We reported high prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in Bahrain. Low BMD was more common in females, especially in postmenopausal women. Highest prevalence of osteopenia happened at young age. Therefore, we advocate screening at younger age than previously recommended.

“…Although the prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia in Bahrain has been well documented in adults, this is not the case in the pediatric age group, which makes comparisons difficult. The first retrospective study conducted by Sadat-Ali and Mattar [ 15 ] found that of 205 adults enrolled patients, 79 (38.5%) were osteoporotic and 97 (47.3%) were osteopenic. However, in a recent cross-sectional study of young females (mean age, 47±11 years) in Bahrain, Alsayyad et al[ 16 ] found that, of 892 females, 4.9% were osteoporotic and 29% were osteopenic.…”

“…In Bahrain, only 2 adult studies tackled osteoporosis and osteopenia, but there were no reports about these conditions in the pediatric age group for comparison. [ 15 , 16 ] However, our institution is considered the main tertiary hospital that serves most of the population in the Kingdom of Bahrain. It is the only hospital providing care for pediatric patients with IBD and has the largest patient database, making it representative of this group of patients.…”

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory immune-mediated condition that affects the gastrointestinal system and alters bone growth and bone mineral density (BMD). Here we aimed to study the prevalence and predictors of a low BMD in pediatric patients with IBD.Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional analytical study included pediatric patients with IBD in whom BMD was evaluated using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry of the total body and lumbar spine. Osteoporosis was defined as a BMD Z-score ≤-2, osteopenia as -2 to -1, and normal as >-1. Clinical and laboratory findings were compared between patients with and without osteoporosis.Results: Of the 48 patients, 30 (62.5%) were males, 35 (72.9%) had Crohn’s disease, and 13 (27.1%) had ulcerative colitis. The mean age at diagnosis was 9.9±2.8 years. The median age at the time of the BMD scans was 11.9 (interquartile range, 9.9–14.3) years. Total body BMD scans identified 13 (27.1%) and 16 (33.3%) patients with osteoporosis and osteopenia, respectively. Spinal BMD scans revealed that 17 (39.5%) and 14 (32.6%) patients had osteoporosis and osteopenia, respectively. A low body mass index (BMI) Z-score (p=0.038), ileocolonic disease location (p=0.008), and a low calcium level (p=0.008) were significant predictors of osteoporosis on the total body BMD scans. A low BMI Z-score (p=0.039), decreased hemoglobin level (p=0.018), low calcium level (p=0.033), and infliximab use (p=0.019) were significant predictors of osteoporosis on the spinal BMD scans.Conclusions: This study showed a high prevalence of low BMD among pediatric patients with IBD. A low BMI, ileocolonic disease location, low hemoglobin and calcium levels, and infliximab use were significantly associated with osteoporosis.
