Plainville Hip Fracture Risk Reduced by Multivitamin Use
Hip fractures. These are significant health issues around the world. Plainville hip fracture risk is impacted negatively by drugs taken for all types of issues and positively by nutritional supplements. Layden Chiropractic constantly keeps in mind the risk of fragility hip fracture in our osteoporotic patients and carefully observes our Plainville osteoporotic patients. A new, uncomplicated way to address hip fracture risk appears to be once-a-day multivitamin supplementation. Easy!
Plainville OSTEOPOROSIS AND HIP FRACTURE
As easy as it seems, just figuring out who are at risk for osteoporotic hip fractures and treating them to avoid a hip fracture is sometimes difficult! A meta-analysis (a top-level review) of published research data regarding the efficacy of screening the general population reported that such screening decreased osteoporotic fractures and hip fractures. (1) Layden Chiropractic is vigilant about looking for at-risk Plainville osteoporotic and hip fracture patients.
DRUGS AND Plainville OSTEOPOROTIC HIP FRACTURE
Fragility hip fractures and related issues including mortality are issues for healthcare providers. Certain pharmaceutical products are reported to change bone structure and influence the risk of fragility hip fractures. These drugs were significantly associated with these fractures in a 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 due to medications: info about osteoporosis and fracture prevention. (2) That is good advice. Layden Chiropractic is all about sharing information and would add that new research indicates that supplementation helps.
Plainville 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 reported on 8 studies on hip fracture risk and multivitamin use. 80,148 subjects – 4237 of them had a fragility hip fracture – were reviewed. The average age was 69 years. 21% were male. Combined multivitamin supplements are already very popular and widely used. Their use was found to be significantly protective against osteoporosis-related hip fracture. (3) Layden Chiropractic hates to think any of our osteoporotic patients would deal with a hip fracture!
