Sitka Hip Fracture Risk Reduced by Multivitamin Use
Hip fractures. These are significant health issues around the world. Sitka hip fracture risk is impacted negatively by drugs taken for all types of issues and positively by nutritional supplements. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka constantly considers the risk of fragility hip fracture in our osteoporotic patients and carefully observes our Sitka osteoporotic patients. A new, simple way to address hip fracture risk seems to be once-a-day multivitamin supplementation. Easy!
Sitka OSTEOPOROSIS AND HIP FRACTURE
As easy as it seems, just finding the people who are at risk for osteoporotic hip fractures and treating them to avoid a hip fracture is occasionally a trick! 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) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is vigilant about looking for at-risk Sitka osteoporotic and hip fracture patients.
DRUGS AND Sitka OSTEOPOROTIC HIP FRACTURE
Fragility hip fractures and associated matters like mortality are issues for healthcare providers. Certain pharmaceutical products are described as changing 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 subject: antidepressants, antiparkinsonian drugs, antipsychotic drugs, anxiolytic drugs, benzodiazepines, H2 antagonists, proton pump inhibitors, and thyroid hormone. One drug intervention was associated with a reduced risk of hip fracture: hormone replacement therapy with estrogen. The advice researchers suggested to give patients at risk of fragility hip fractures caused by medications: info about osteoporosis and fracture prevention. (2) That’s good advice. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is all about giving out information and would add that new research points to supplementation as a help.
Sitka 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 included. The average age was 69 years. 21% were male. Combined multivitamin supplements are already quite popular and commonly used. Their use was found to be significantly protective against osteoporosis-related hip fracture.
