Overview
Risk factors for osteoporosis disease are of two types, including non-modifiable and modifiable (potentially) factors. Non-modifiable risk factors are age, sex, menopause, and family history. Modifiable (potentially) factors are smoking, alcohol consumption, immobility, glucocorticoid abuse, and proton pump inhibitor (PPI).
Risk factors for osteoporosis disease
Common risk factors
- Age > 50
- Menopause (lack of estrogen)
- Family history of fracture or osteoporosis
- History of at least two fractures[1]
- Alcohol consumption
- Smoking (inhibits activity of osteoblasts)[2]
- Insufficient physical activity (lack of bone remodeling)
- Glucocorticoids (steroid-induced osteoporosis)[3]
- Proton pump inhibitors[4]
Less common risk factors
- Low body mass index (BMI): being overweight protects against osteoporosis, either by increasing load or through the leptin hormone[5]
- Low calcium and vitamin D intake: calcium and/or vitamin D deficiency from malnutrition
- Excess physical activity: constant damage to bone and amenorrhea in females
- Heavy metals: higher cadmium exposure results in osteomalacia (softening of the bone).[6] Lead exposure also causes osteoporosis.
- Soft drinks: phosphoric acid may increase chances of osteoporosis[7][8]
- Female athlete triad syndrome
- Barbiturates[9]
Fracture risk factors
- Aging
- Smoking
- Alcoholism
- Chronic corticosteroid use
- Low BMI
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Osteoporosis because of other diseases
- Family history of osteoporotic fracture (especially hip)
Risk factors for osteoporosis complications
- Low body mass index (BMI)
- A history of a prior fracture at a site characteristic for osteoporosis
- A parental history of hip fracture
- Smoking
- Glucocorticoids
- Alcohol
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Falling
Falling risk factors
- Environmental risk factors
- Lack of assistive devices in bathrooms
- Obstacles in the walking path
- Loose throw rugs
- Slippery conditions
- Low level lighting
- Medical risk factors
- Age
- Medications causing sedation (narcotic analgesics, anticonvulsants, and psychotropics)
- Anxiety and agitation
- Orthostatic hypotension
- Arrhythmias
- Poor vision
- Dehydration
- Previous falls or fear of falling
- Depression
- Reduced problem solving or mental acuity and diminished cognitive skills
- Vitamin D insufficiency [serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D)<30 ng/ml (75 nmol/L)]
- Urgent urinary incontinence
- Malnutrition
- Neurological and musculoskeletal risk factors
- Kyphosis
- Reduced proprioception
- Poor balance
- Weak muscles/sarcopenia
- Impaired transfer and mobility
- Deconditioning
