Fort Wayne Hip Fracture Risk Reduced by Multivitamin Use

Hip fractures. These are significant health issues globally. Fort Wayne hip fracture risk is impacted negatively by drugs taken for all sorts of issues and helpfully by nutritional supplements. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc constantly considers the risk of fragility hip fracture in our patients with osteoporosis and carefully observes our Fort Wayne osteoporotic patients. A new, simple way to address hip fracture risk seems to be daily multivitamin supplementation. Easy!

Fort Wayne 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 prevent a hip fracture is sometimes a trick! A meta-analysis (a top-level review) of published research findings regarding the effectiveness of screening the general population reported that such screening decreased osteoporotic fractures and hip fractures.  (1) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is vigilant about looking for at-risk Fort Wayne osteoporotic and hip fracture patients.

DRUGS AND Fort Wayne OSTEOPOROTIC HIP FRACTURE

Fragility hip fractures and related issues 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 highly linked to these fractures in this review of 38 studies on the topic: antidepressants, antiparkinsonian drugs, antipsychotic drugs, anxiolytic drugs, benzodiazepines, H2 antagonists, proton pump inhibitors, and thyroid hormone.  One drug intervention was linked to a reduced risk of hip fracture: hormone replacement therapy with estrogen. The advice researchers proposed to give patients at risk of fragility hip fractures due to medications: information about osteoporosis and fracture prevention. (2) That’s good advice. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is all about sharing information and would add that new research points to supplementation as a help.

Fort Wayne 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 very popular and commonly used. Their use was found to be significantly protective against osteoporosis-related hip fracture. (3) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc would hate to see any of our osteoporotic patients experience a hip fracture!
