Bone mineral density in long-living patients with coronary artery disease
Abstract
The results of cross-sectional study aimed to investigate bone mineral density (BMD) in 202 patients over 90 years old with coronary artery disease are presented in this atricle. Normal BMD indices in the lumbar spine were observed in 40,9%, osteoporosis - in 26,9%, osteopenia - in 32,2% of patients. Normal BMD indices in the proximal femur were observed in 21,3%, osteoporosis - in 39,9%, and osteopenia - in 38,8% of patients. A negative correlation between the severity of frailty, assessed using the questionnaire «Age is not a hindrance», and indicators of BMD (r=0,26; р=0,01) was found. A positive correlation was found between BMD indices and functional abilities of patients assessed using the Barthel index (r=0,44; p=0,000002) and the IADL scale (r=0,36; p=0,00008). Fractures in history were observed in 27,6% of patients.
В работе представлены результаты одномоментного исследования минеральной плотности костной ткани (МПКТ) у 202 пациентов старше 90 лет, страдающих ИБС. Нормальные показатели МПКТ в поясничном отделе позвоночника отмечены у 40,9%, остеопороз — у 26,9%, остеопения — у 32,2% больных. Нормальные показатели МПКТ в проксимальном отделе бедра отмечены у 21,3%, остеопороз — у 39,9%, остеопения — у 38,8% больных. Выявлена отрицательная корреляция выраженности старческой астении, оцененной с помощью опросника «Возраст не помеха», и показателей МПКТ (r=0,26; р=0,01). Обнаружена позитивная корреляция показателей МПКТ и функциональных способностей больных, оцененных с…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a cross-sectional, done in people. Its evidence level is 4 of 5 (Low · observational). Observational designs can show an association but not prove cause. Reported size: 202 participants or records.
