Epidemiology of low-energy fracture in Chinese postmenopausal women: changing trend of incidence since menopause and associated risk factors, a national population-based survey.
Menopause : the Journal of the North American Menopause Society 2018 October 16
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to report the incidence of low-energy fracture since menopause in postmenopausal women ≤70 years and to explore associated risk factors METHODS:: This was a part of the Chinese National Fracture Survey (CNFS), which was carried out in eight provinces of China mainland between January and May 2015. Data on 68,783 postmenopausal women ≤70 years were extracted from the CNFS database for calculations and analyses.
RESULTS: A total of 309 women were confirmed to have low-energy fractures in 2014, indicating the incidence of 449.2 (95% CI, 399.3-499.2) per 100,000 women. There were two obvious peaks of fracture incidence at the 4th year and the 9th year since menopause. From the 10th year on, the fracture incidence rate presented the relatively steady trends over years, only with slight interannual fluctuation. After adjustment for confounding variables, advanced age, higher latitude, milk intake ≥1/d, residence ≥2nd floor without elevator, alcohol consumption, sleep duration <7 h/d, history of past fracture, and more births were identified as significant risk factors. Supplementation of calcium or vitamin D or both was associated with 44% of fracture reduction (OR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.37-0.84).
CONCLUSIONS: These data on low-energy fractures in postmenopausal women provided an updated clinical evidence base for better national healthcare planning and preventive efforts in China.
