Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of osteoporosis and vertebral fractures on physical activity and quality of life in female patients 65 years and over. Materials and Method: 50 women with a mean age of 68.48 ± 3.19 years were enrolled to the study. Demographic properties were recorded. Lumbar vertebra and proksimal femur bone mineral density (BMD) were measured by dual energy X-ray absorbtiometry DXA. Lateral spine radiographs were taken to determine vertebral fractures. Physical capacity of the patients was assessed by six-minute walk test (SMWT). “Quality of life European Foundation for Osteoporosis (Qualeffo)” questionnaire was used to evaluate quality of life.Results: Vertebral fracture was determined in 19 (38 %) patients. SMWT was significanly low and physical activity scores of Qualeffo was high in patients with vertebral fracture. Besides Age was negatively correlated with proximal femur and total lumbar BMD and SMWT. Proximal femur total T score correlated with SMWT.Conclusion: In geriatric female patients with vertebral fractures physical performance is lower compared to patients without vertebral fractures. Therefore, during evaluation of elderly patients we should keep in mind that low physical capacity negatively affects quality of life in geriatric patients with vertebral fractures.

Özet

Giriş: Bu çalışmada 65 yaş ve üstü kadınlarda osteoporoz ve vertebra fraktürlerinin fiziksel aktivite ve yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkilerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 68.48 ± 3.19 yıl olan 50 kadın hasta alındı. Hastaların demografik özellikleri kaydedildi. Lomber vertebra ve proksimal femur kemik mineral yoğunlukları (KMY) Dual energy X-Ray Absorbtiometry (DXA) yöntemi ile ölçüldü. Vertebra fraktürklerini belirlemek için lateral omurga grafileri çekildi. Hastaların fiziksel kapasiteleri altı-dakika yürüme testi (ADYT) ile belirlendi. Yaşam kalitesinin değerlendirilmesi için “Quality of life European Foundation for Osteoporosis (Qualeffo)” anketi kullanıldı.Bulgular: Lateral omurga grafilerinde 19 (%38) hastada vertebra kırığı tespit edildi. Vertebra kırığı olan grupta ADYT mesafesi istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde düşük ve Qualeffo, fiziksel aktivite skorları yüksekti. Ayrıca yaş ile proksimal femur ve lomber vertebra KMY; yaş ile ADYT arasında negatif korelasyon tespit edildi. Femur boynu total T skoru ile ADYT arasında pozitif korelasyon mevcuttu.Sonuç: Veretebra fraktürü olan yaşlı kadın hastaların performansları vertebra fraktürü olmayan hastalara göre daha düşüktür. Bu nedenle geriatrik hastaları değerlendirirken, fiziksel aktivitenin düşük olmasının yaşam kalitesini olumsuz yönde etkilediğini göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
