Abstract

encouragement to 76 individuals. Risk factor measurements showOsteoporosis in older adults can lead to bone fracture, which can aggravate not only the quality of life but also life convalescence. Previous studies have shown that fewer patients receive treatment than the estimated total number. Studies have demonstrated that changes in bone density are associated with age, sex hormones, environmental factors, genetic factors, and medication. Thus, the Toyoake Pharmaceutical Association conducted an investigation that targeted people without osteoporosis, which was confirmed through bone density measurement using supersonic wave bone mass measuring equipment, via an interview on remedy medication. The study recruited 209 individuals (female: 87.1%; median age: 70.0 years; interquartile range: 57.0–76.0 years). Female respondents demonstrated a higher enforcement rate of fracture precaution (53.8%) than male respondents (29.6%). Further, we provided lifestyle guidance to 12 individuals and consultation ed that the condition of the elderly and women are the worst. The risk of bone beam area fracture was <23.9% in the elderly and those who have already had fracture in addition to the possibility of taking fall-related medicines. The present study found that bone density measurement and survey interview of locals on remedy medication enabled the prediction of fracture risk. The results can serve as reference for various types of interventions, such as lifestyle guidance and consultation encouragement.
