Abstract
Objective To explore the correlation between osteoporosis and cardiovascular risk factors in elderly patients. Methods From January 2010 to January 2017, 760 patients aged over 80 who were admitted and treated in the department of orthopedics and geriatrics of the hospital were selected.According to the BMD measurement results, 450 patients in the osteoporosis group and 310 patients in the normal bone mass group were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in both groups were recorded with cardiovascular disease and all risk factors that might affect the occurrence of osteoporosis.Possible risk factors included age, gender, weight, BMI(Body Mass Index), homocysteine, uric acid, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, left ventricular ejection fraction, triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, blood pressure, smoking history, drinking history, heart failure history, coronary heart disease history, diabetes history, and stroke history.The correlation between the two was recorded analyzed. Results The results of univariate analysis showed that osteoporosis was associated with homocysteine, LDL, gender, hypertension and coronary heart disease (P 0.05). Logistic regression model was used to analyze the significant indicators in the univariate analysis, and the results showed that homocysteine, low-density lipoprotein, hypertension, women's history of coronary heart disease were independent risk factors for osteoporosis in the elderly patients (P<0.05). Conclusions Homocysteine, low density lipoprotein, hypertension, female, coronary heart disease history are the most important risk factors for osteoporosis in elderly patients.In order to reduce the incidence of osteoporosis, individualized and targeted intervention measures should be implemented in the clinic for the elderly patients with such high risk factors.
