Materials and Methods: Two hundred one patients with OP or osteopenia were included in this study. Sociodemographic characteristics of the patients were recorded and a standardized interview was employed by the researcher physician. BMD values were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry at lumbar spine and femoral neck. Results: The mean age of the patients was 61.47 +/- 10.57 years (182 females/19 males). One hundred fifteen patients (57.2%) were osteoporotic and 86 (42.8%) were osteopenic. A significant negative correlation was found between age and femoral neck T scores. The number of pregnancies showed a significant negative correlation with lumbar T scores. Body mass index and daily tea consumption showed a negligible positive correlation with femoral neck T scores. No association was found between age at menarche, age at menopause, total lactation duration, daily calcium intake and T scores of lumbar spine and femoral neck. Conclusions: Identification of regional OP risk factors may be useful for the OP risk management of patients in clinical practice.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOsteoporosis; risk factors; bone mineral densityArticle10.4274/tod.7553722117232-s2.0-84968779614Q4WOS:000379526700005N/A
