Abstract:
Osteoporosis is the most prevalent metabolic bone disease in postmenopausal women associated with reduced bone mass and increased bone fracture. OP is often associated with brittle fractures, with approximately 1/2 of women and 1/5 of men expected to experience an osteoporotic fracture during their lifetime. An awareness regarding the preventive, curative and rehabilitative care as well as a proper health policy is the need of hour. In the literature, scarce data investigate the link between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D), lipid profile and blood glucose level in the osteoporosis (OP) population. 25(OH)D, as a calcium-regulating hormone, can inhibit the rise of parathyroid hormone, increase bone mineralization to prevent bone loss, enhance muscle strength, improve balance, and prevent falls in the elderly. The aim of this study was to evaluate the independent relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D), lipid profiles and fasting blood glucose levels (FBG) in a group of patients diagnosed with OP.
