Groton Hip Fracture Risk Reduced by Multivitamin Use
Hip fractures. These are major health issues around the globe. Groton hip fracture risk is impacted adversely by drugs taken for all types of issues and positively by nutritional supplements. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office constantly considers the risk of fragility hip fracture in our patients with osteoporosis and carefully observes our Groton osteoporotic patients. A new, uncomplicated way to address hip fracture risk seems to be daily multivitamin supplementation. Easy!
Groton OSTEOPOROSIS AND HIP FRACTURE
As easy as it seems, just figuring out who are at risk for osteoporotic hip fractures and treating them to prevent a hip fracture is occasionally difficult! A meta-analysis (a top-level review) of published research data about the efficacy of screening the general population reported that such screening reduced osteoporotic fractures and hip fractures. (1) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is vigilant about looking for at-risk Groton osteoporotic and hip fracture patients.
DRUGS AND Groton OSTEOPOROTIC HIP FRACTURE
Fragility hip fractures and related matters like mortality are issues for healthcare providers. Certain pharmaceutical products are reported to alter bone structure and impact the risk of fragility hip fractures. These drugs were significantly associated with these fractures in this review of 38 studies on the topic: antiparkinsonian drugs, antidepressants, anxiolytic drugs, antipsychotic drugs, benzodiazepines, proton pump inhibitors, H2 antagonists, and thyroid hormone. One drug intervention was associated with a reduced risk of hip fracture: hormone replacement therapy with estrogen. The advice researchers proposed to give patients at risk of fragility hip fractures caused by medications: details about osteoporosis and fracture prevention. (2) That is good advice. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is all about sharing information and would add that new research points to supplementation as a help.
Groton CHIROPRACTIC SUGGESTED NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS AND HIP FRACTURE REDUCTION
As hip fracture is a serious complication of osteoporosis, a non-drug approach like multivitamin use and its effect on hip fracture risk is most interesting. A meta-analysis found 8 studies on hip fracture risk and multivitamin use. 80,148 subjects – 4237 of them had a fragility hip fracture – were examined. The average age was 69 years. 21% were male. Combined multivitamin supplements are already quite popular and commonly used. Their use was observed to be significantly protective against osteoporosis-related hip fracture.
