“…This was in accordance with a previous study that reported a significant association between household income and bone health in elderly women [44]. A lower household income may imply limited access to healthcare [25,45]. Subjects with a lower income might not have the opportunities to engage with medical professionals to ensure their well-being.…”

The prevalence of osteoporosis is forecasted to escalate in Malaysia with an increasing elderly population. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence and the risk factors of osteoporosis among middle-aged and elderly Chinese Malaysians. Three hundred sixty seven Malaysian Chinese aged ≥40 years in Klang Valley, Malaysia, were recruited. All subjects completed a structured questionnaire comprised of demographic details, medical history, diet, and lifestyle practices. Body anthropometry and bone mineral density measurements were also performed. The relationship between bone health status and risk factors was determined using multivariate logistic regression. Fifteen-point-three percent of the overall study population and 32.6% of those aged ≥71 years had osteoporosis. The prevalence of osteoporosis among women (18.9%) was higher than men (11.5%). The significant predictors of osteoporosis were age, body weight, and low monthly income. Lean mass, low education level, and being underweight predicted osteoporosis in women. Lean mass was the only significant predictor of osteoporosis in men. Overall, 15.3% of the Malaysian Chinese aged ≥40 years from Klang Valley, Malaysia, had osteoporosis. Osteoporosis was associated positively with increased age and low monthly income and negatively with body weight. Therefore, osteoporosis preventive strategies targeting Chinese elderly from a low socioeconomic background is necessary.

Background and objectives: Studies on osteoporosis risk factors are limited in Malaysia, so this study assesses the factors associated with bone health assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) among Malaysians aged ≥40 years. Subjects and Methods: Data on demography, medical history, dietary and lifestyle practices of 786 Malaysians (51.4% women) aged ≥40 years recruited in Klang Valley were obtained. Their body composition and bone health were determined using DXA. The association between risk factors and bone health status was assessed using binary logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of suboptimal bone health and osteoporosis was higher in women (59.4% and 16.1%) than men (40.8% and 8.4%). Overall, the predictors of suboptimal bone health and osteoporosis among the subjects were increased age and higher fat mass. Lower monthly income was positively associated with osteoporosis. Being menopausal was a risk factor for both suboptimal bone health and osteoporosis in women. Women with no formal education were more likely to get osteoporosis. Being a smoker and Chinese were positively related to suboptimal bone health among men. Meanwhile, predictors of osteoporosis among men were regular alcohol and dairy product consumption, higher fat mass and having a tertiary education. Conclusions: This study calls for immediate and effective interventions for middle-aged and elderly populations with risk factors to halt the progression of bone loss.

“…[51][52][53][54] Also, the results of the study corresponded with those of previous studies that found as the socioeconomic status of family income is lower, women were more likely to have osteoporosis. 55 Socioeconomic status of women is more associated with obesity and stroke than men, as there are differences in enough of nutritional consumption and level of stress depending on the level of socioeconomic status. 56,57 There are several limitations to this research.…”
