Introduction.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
Proper diagnosis of osteoporosis as a systemic adverse effect of COPD is of significant importance.
The present study aimed at evaluating the prevalence of osteoporosis and its risk factors in men suffering from COPD in Qazvin (2014).
Methods.
This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 90 patients with COPD using random sampling.
Anthropometric data and results from physical examination were collected.
Pulmonary function test and bone mineral densitometry were done for all participants as well.
Results.
The prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in COPD patients was 31.5 and 52.8 percent, respectively.
Bone mineral density (BMD) at the femoral neck was associated significantly with body mass index (BMI), increased severity of COPD, and use of oral corticosteroid ( P < 0.05 ).
Conclusion.
The results showed that patients’ BMI and severity of COPD are two valuable risk factors for osteoporosis screening in COPD patients.
