Little is known about prevalence of osteoporosis risk factors among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIAN).
We included AIAN people (n=8,039) enrolled in the Education and Research Towards Health (EARTH) Study. Prevalence ratios were used to determine cross-sectional associations of risk factors with self-reported bone fractures.
There is a high prevalence of multiple risk factors for osteoporosis in AIAN, although the factors that are associated with past fracture vary by gender and geographical area. In general, women who reported a fracture reported more risk behaviors, more than two medical conditions, and low physical activity. Men with higher BMI were less likely to report a fracture. Smoking history was associated with fracture for both genders, though not significantly in all sub-groups.
We prevent a high prevalence of risk factors for osteoporosis for AIAN. Future research for osteoporosis risk reduction and prevention in AIAN people is indicated.
对于美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民(AIAN)中骨质疏松症风险因素的患病率了解甚少。
我们纳入了参与健康促进教育与研究(EARTH)研究的AIAN人群(n = 8,039)。患病率比值用于确定风险因素与自我报告的骨折之间的横断面关联。
AIAN中存在多种骨质疏松症风险因素的高患病率,尽管与既往骨折相关的因素因性别和地理区域而异。总体而言,报告有骨折的女性报告了更多的风险行为、两种以上的疾病状况以及低体力活动。体重指数较高的男性报告骨折的可能性较小。吸烟史与两性的骨折均相关,尽管并非在所有亚组中都具有显著性。
我们发现AIAN中骨质疏松症风险因素的患病率很高。有必要对AIAN人群中降低和预防骨质疏松症风险进行未来研究。
