Thực trạng loãng xương và các yếu tố nguy cơ ở nam giới trên 50 tuổi tại Bệnh viện E năm 2025

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the prevalence of osteoporosis and to analyze risk factors associated with osteoporosis in men aged 50 years and older who underwent bone mineral density (BMD) measurement using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) at E Hospital in 2025. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on a convenient sample of 200 male patients aged ≥ 50 years who attended the Musculoskeletal Department and had BMD measured at the lumbar spine and femoral neck using DEXA between January and October 2025. Risk factors assessed included age, body mass index (BMI), occupation, living area, smoking, alcohol consumption, history of fractures, physical exercise and long-term corticosteroid use. Data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0. The prevalence of osteoporosis in the study population was 18.5%, while osteopenia accounted for 52.5%. Osteoporosis was more common in patients aged ≥ 70 years old. Low BMI, smoking, previous fractures, lack of regular exercise and prolonged corticosteroid use were significantly associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis in men over 50 years of age is relatively common and is influenced by several modifiable risk factors. Screening, lifestyle modification and preventive strategies should be strengthened in this population.
