DETERMINANT OF OSTEOPOROSIS OCCURRENCE ON PATIENTS IN REGIONAL GENERAL HOSPITAL, WAHIDIN SUDIROHUSODO IN MAKASSAR CITY

Abstract

Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and worsening of microstructural bone tissue.The research aimed at analyzing the osteoporosis risk factors on the osteoporosis patients in the Regional General Hospital, Wahidin Sudirohusodo. This was the analytic research with the control case study design. The research population was all osteoporosis patients in the Regional General Hospital, Wahidin Sudirohusodo with as many as 122 samples comprising 61 osteoporosis patients as the case group and 61 non-osteoporosis patients as the control group. The samples were taken using the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using the observation sheet. The data were analyzed using the risk analysis (Odds Ratio) and Pearson Chi-Square for the bivariate analysis, and logistic regression for the multivariate analysis. The research result indicates that the variables having the risk of the osteoporosis are: family history (OR:2,052; 95%CI:1,70-2,46; p:0,079), physical activity (OR:6,71; 95%CI:3,04-14,8; p:0,000), consumption of calcium source food (OR:5,497; 95%CI:2,44-12,35; p:0,000), and consumption of soft drink (OR:2,997; 95%CI:1,194-7,520; p:0,016). The multivariate analysis result indicates that the physical activity (OR:4,370; 95%CI:1,856-10,288; p:0,001), consumption of calcium source food (OR:3,150; 95%CI:1,283-7,736; p:0,012), and consumption of soft drink (OR:2,371; 95%CI:0,851-6,606; p:0,099)represent the risk factors having the most significant contribution on the osteoporosis.
