Abstract
Objective: to determine the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in women with risk factors in the province of Jaén, to identify the relationship between risk factors and the site on which the diagnosis test is conducted.
Materials and method: transversal descriptive study. It included women who visited a Gynecologist in the private setting. They underwent a bone density test of the hip and spine (DEXA technique). Univariate analysis was conducted both for quantitative and qualitative variables. Hypothesis contrast was developed through Pearson Correlation Coefficient in quantitative variables, and Ji-square in qualitative variables.
Results: the study was conducted on 151 women, with 56 years as median age, and an average BMI of 26.86. Of these, 57% underwent the test in order to prevent osteopenia and osteoporosis. There was a connection between age, weight and BMI (protective factor) and the diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis. Prevalence of osteoporosis was 4% when the test was conducted on the hip, and 20% when it was conducted on the spine.
Conclusions: age is positioned as a risk factor for the presence of osteopenia and osteoporosis. Weight and increase in BMI seem to act as a protective factor in these women. There is an important diagnostic difference between them, based on the area in the body where the bone density test was performed, with a higher prevalence when performed on the hip.
