ABSTRACT

Background: Osteoporosis is a systemic disease characterized by loss of bone density; it primarily affects persons of advanced age, increases the risk of fractures, and has direct impact on morbidity and mortality.
Objective: Determine the prevalence of patients with diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis at Hospital Christus Muguerza Alta Especialidad using computed tomography bone densitometry.
Material and method: An observational, transversal and descriptive study. Based on bone densitometry studies conducted by tomography at Hospital Christus Muguerza, patients were classified based on their bone mineral density as: osteoporosis, osteopenia, or normal results; some associated risk factors were analyzed in the period June through October 2014.
Result: 64 patients answered a questionnaire: 58 were female (90.6%), of whom 29.3% had osteopenia, 15.5% mild osteoporosis, 13.7% moderate osteoporosis, and 3.4% severe osteoporosis. Of the 6 male participants, 1 presented mild osteoporosis, 2 osteopenia, and 3 had normal results.
Conclusions: 60.9% of the patients presented diagnoses of osteopenia or osteoporosis based on bone mineral density; density was lower in patients over 50 years of age.
