Abstract

Modern methods of determination of bone mineral density by means of dual energy x-ray absorptiometry with sufficient specificity and a low sensitivity don’t always available. In this regard, to identify the patients for appointment of therapy, the search strategy consisting in the identification of persons with a high risk of fracture was carried out. As priority direction in the diagnosis is not the fact of having osteoporosis, but the assessment of the risk of fracture. Geographical feature of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Yugra, the lack of equipment x-ray osteodensitometry in medical institutions and their absence in clinics indicate low diagnostic availability in the assessment of the bone mineral density of the population – this determines the importance of research in the region the significant risk factors of osteoporosis and important risk factors for osteoporotic fractures.
