ODP087 Dose-dependent effect of long-term statin use on risk of osteoporotic fracture in elderly patients

Abstract

Abstract Introduction Studies have been conducted to assess the association between the use of statin and risk of new onset osteoporosis or osteoporotic fractures, however, they have shown conflicting results. We aimed to investigate the association between statin use and the risk of major osteoporotic fractures in elderly population. Methods In this population cohort study with Korean National Health Insurance Service-Senior Cohort database, a total of 365,656 elderly (≥60 years) without previous history of osteoporosis were included. The patients who did not have a history of statin use in year 2003 were followed from January 2004 to December 2012. Incidences of major osteoporotic fractures and site specific fractures were compared using the Cox proportional hazards model with use the inverse probability weighting method. Results During years follow-up period, 54,959 major osteoporotic fractures occurred; the risk of major osteoporotic fractures was significantly reduced (OR,0.769; 95% CI,0.716-0.826) in statin users compared with that in non-users. Among subtypes of major osteoporotic fracture, a risk reduction with statin therapy was significant for both vertebral fracture (OR,0.701; 95% CI,0.641-0.767) and non-vertebral fracture (OR,0.807; 95% CI,0.726-0.898). Longer duration and higher cumulative dose of statin, defined by cumulative daily defined dose, were negatively associated with the risk of major osteoporotic fracture. Conclusion In this population-based cohort study, the use of statin was associated with significant reduction in the risk of osteoporotic fractures in elderly patients without previous history of osteoporosis.
