“…Two of the studies claimed tea consumption to have a beneficial impact on BMD compared with non-tea consumption [28,29] ; no correlation between them was found in the remaining 3 studies. [26,27,30] The pooled results showed that tea consumption could reduce the occurrence of low bone mass (OR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.47–0.94, P = 0.02) (Fig.…”

Background:Current studies evaluating the association of tea consumption and bone mineral density (BMD) have yielded inconsistent findings. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to assess the relationship between tea consumption and BMD.Methods:The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were comprehensively searched, and a meta-analysis performed of all observational studies assessing the association of tea consumption and BMD. Forest plots were used to illustrate the results graphically. The Q-test and I2 statistic were employed to evaluate between-study heterogeneity. Potential publication bias was assessed by the funnel plot.Results:Four cohort, 1 case–control, and 8 cross-sectional studies including a total of 12,635 cases were included. Tea consumption was shown to prevent bone loss [odds ratio (OR): 0.66; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.47–0.94; P = 0.02], yielding higher mineral densities in several bones, including the lumbar spine [standardized mean difference (SMD): 0.19; 95% CI, 0.08–0.31; P = 0.001], hip (SMD: 0.19; 95% CI, 0.05–0.34; P = 0.01), femoral neck [mean difference (MD): 0.01; 95% CI, 0.00–0.02; P = 0.04], Ward triangle (MD: 0.02; 95% CI, 0.01–0.04; P = 0.001), and greater trochanter (MD: 0.03; 95% CI, 0.02–0.04; P < 0.00001), than the non-tea consumption group.Conclusion:This meta-analysis provided a potential trend that tea consumption might be beneficial for BMD, especially in the lumbar spine, hip, femoral neck, Ward triangle, and greater trochanter, which might help prevent bone loss.

“…Unexpected, this study indicated a high prevalence of osteopenia and OP in those patients who were ≤ 50 years and the effect on bone continued for >2 years from the last cycle of chemotherapy [82]. However, others found that hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) and oral contraceptive pills (OCP) have a protective effect on BMD, and those women were less likely to have OP [10].…”

“…In a community-based study involving 620 Turkish people, the prevalence of OP was 15.1% among women and 10.7% among men [10]. High frequencies of OP and osteopenia (58% and 32%, respectively) had been detected among patients admitted to the geriatric department [11].…”

“…Significant hypovitaminosis D but not OP was observed in women categorized into groups according to the longevity of dressing [70]. In Moroccan and Turkish women, wearing traditional clothing covering arms, legs and head, the risk of OP was increased [10,71]. Vitamin D inadequacy (deficiency and insufficiency) has become an epidemic with the assumption that women in Arab countries are at a higher risk due to their clothing style of wearing dark colored suits or a veil.…”

Background: Osteoporosis (OP) is defined by low bone mass and microstructural deterioration. It is an escalating public health problem due to increase life expectancy and the resulting bone fractures represent a significant burden for both the individual and the society in terms of morbidity, mortality and cost. Osteoporosis, a multifactorial disease, results from the interaction between genetic and environmental risk factors. Currently, the data available regarding OP epidemiology and predisposing risk factors differ greatly between regions and within population ethnicities. Proper estimation of the epidemiology of OP and its health related outcomes can help identity those at risk and permit prophylactic treatment before its occurrence. The main barrier towards disease prevention strategies is the impaired awareness of the disease and its risk. Enhanced understanding of the OP disease may influence personal behaviors and reduce its prevalence.Objectives: This review was undertaken to wrap-up and throw-light on the published literatures related to the epidemiology of osteoporosis in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and expose the extent of awareness in the corresponding populations. Describing and discussing key points on the current state of knowledge on these hot issues are well thought-out.Conclusion: Osteoporosis prevalence is variable among MENA populations. Limited reports regarding the established prevalence of osteoporotic fractures among those populations and therefore, lack of guidelines for prevention and management were noticed. In order to improve bone health, preventive measures against OP should be considered. Increase OP awareness and preventive practices in the societies as part of the prophylactic strategy need to be initiated.

“…In a study conducted in the region of Thrace, OP was revealed to be a significant health problem as 1 in 4 individuals over the age of 55 years were osteoporotic. The prevalence in females was determined as 15.1% and in males over the age of 40 years, 10.7% [9]. Ipek et al [10] determined the OP rate with DEXA as 31.8% in the L1-L4 vertebrae region, as 40.2% in the femoral neck and as 34.3% in at least one area of the L1-L4 vertebrae and/or the femoral neck.…”

Aim: The aim of this prospective study was to provide an estimation of the 10-year probability of the four major osteoporotic fractures using fracture risk evaluation scale (FRAX) and to review the risk factors for osteoporosis in males and females aged over 50 years in Erzurum, Turkey. Material and Method: An evaluation was made 1254 patients who presented at the Outpatient Clinics of State Hospital in 2013. Taking the risk factors and bone mineral density (BMD) values into consideration, and using the FRAX risk evaluation scale, the 10-year major osteoporotic (MO) and hip fracture risks were evaluated for all the participants. Results: While a significant difference was seen between the genders in respect of measurements of the osteoporosis (OP) major risk fracture with BMD determined as mean 7.4% in females and 5.77% in males, and without BMD, as 8.27% in females and 4.59% in males and without BMD, the hip fracture risk was 2.92% in females and 1.91% in males (p=0.016, p<0.001, p<0.001, respectively), no significant difference was determined in the hip fracture risk with BMD at 2.62% in females and 3.05% in males (p=0.517). With an increase in body mass index (BMI), there was a decrease in the OP risk (p<0.001). With BMD, the MO fracture risk groups were formed of 84.5% low risk, 10.5% moderate risk and 5% high risk. Discussion: If BMD values were taken as the basis for medical treatment in Turkey, the use of scanning tests and fracture risk evaluation scales such as FRAX would be useful. However, to be able to better determine the extent of OP and the fracture risk in the general population and maybe to be able to determine threshold values which may be different in our population, there is a need for further multi-center studies including greater numbers of patients. Early diagnosis of OP, identification of risk groups for early treatment and prevention, and determination of the risk before a fracture all play an important role in the prevention of morbidity and mortality associated with OP and in the reduction of healthcare costs. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine cases of osteopenia and OP in the early stages by measuring BMD and to determine the 10-year fracture risk using the FRAX scale in patients presenting at our hospital. Keywords Material and MethodIn the study period of 2013, a total of 1254 patients aged over 50 years, with no previous OP treatment underwent a DEXA scan at State Hospital. BMD measurements were taken with a DEXA Hologic Q 2000 device of the posteroanterior lumbar spine (L1-L4) and hip (femoral neck). The machine calibrations, tests, controls, and phantom measurements were applied routinely by certified technicians. The participants removed outer clothing and were weighed and measured, then DEXA scanning was applied. The BMD values were evaluated with the T-scores defined according to the peak young adult bone density value. According to the WHO classification, patients with a T-score of ≤-2.5 were accepted as osteoporotic, those with scores of -1--2.5 as os...
