Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Osteoporosis (OP) and its fractures are a major problem due to their impact in morbidity and mortality in the elderly. Although this entity is well studied in other countries, OP and its fractures have not been evaluated carefully in our population. The objective was to assess risk factors for osteoporotic hip fracture in Mexicans. METHODS:A total of 295 subjects, 152 cases and 143 controls, were studied. Cases were patients with hip fracture, of both sexes and 45 years of age or older. Controls were healthy subjects who were in hospital waiting rooms accompanying patients without hip fractures. A questionnaire covering known possible risk factors for osteoporotic hip fracture was administered by the same evaluator to all subjects. Pelvic roentgenograms, anterior-posterior view, were obtained in both cases and controls to perform the Singh index and the cortical index of the femur. RESULTS:Fractures were present in (72.2%) of women. Weight and any alcohol ingestion were associated with an increased risk of hip fracture. The odds ratio (OR) for low weight by the Quetelet Index was 4.03 (95% CI 1.93-8.39) p < 0.001. Any alcohol intake was associated with an OR of 1.73 (95% CI 1.04-2.90) p < or = 0.03 for the total group, and 2.78 (95% CI 1.25-6.14) p < or = 0.003 for women. Controls had a significantly higher mean daily calcium intake compared to cases (mean, SD 575.9 +/- 297.2 vs. 490.4 +/- 245.5, p < or = (0.007). Family history, smoking, physical activity, pregnancies, breastfeeding or concomitant diseases were not associated with risk of hip fracture. CONCLUSIONS:This study confirmed the risk factors for osteoporotic hip fracture in Mexicans, previously shown for other ethnic groups. Further research in different factors, such as rate of bone turnover, anthropometric dimensions, and genetic studies (osteoporosis gene) are needed in order to define the differences among ethnic groups.
