Abstract

Objective: In
our study, we aimed to determine
the postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) effect on quality of life using The
International Osteoporosis Society Quality of Life Survey (QUALEFFO-41).

Materials and Methods: A total of 123 patients and 49 healthy women with PMO participated to our
study. Bone mineral density was measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry
(DXA). The demographic characteristics, educational status, occupational
activities, age at menopause, duration, physical activity level, presence of
PMO in family, fracture history in family and hospital, presence of treatment
for PMO, and presence of movement system and systemic disease and chronic drug
usage history of the patients were assessed. QUALEFFO-41 was used to assess the
quality of life.

Results: The QUALEFFO-41
total score revealed a statistically significant correlation between exercise,
age, age at menopause, menopause duration, and the t score and total score of
the femur neck in DXA measurement. Age was the most important determinant of
the quality of life.

Conclusion: In our study, we found that there are many
factors that affect the quality of life in patients with PMO. Therefore, it
will be appropriate to evaluate the patients in many ways. When planning the
treatment of patients with PMO, factors affecting exercise and other quality of
life should be considered in addition to drug therapy.

Postmenopozal Osteoporozlu Hastalarda Yaşam Kalitesinin Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmamız Uluslararası
Osteoporoz Derneği Yaşam Kalitesi Anketi (QUALEFFO-41) ile postmenopozal
osteoporozun (PMO) yaşam kalitesi üzerindeki etkisinin anlaşılmasını amaçlamıştır.

Gereç ve yöntemler: Çalışmamıza PMO'lu toplam 123
hasta ve 49 sağlıklı kadın katıldı. Kemik mineral yoğunluğu dual energy
X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) ile ölçüldü. Hastaların demografik
özellikleri, eğitim durumu, mesleki faaliyetler, menopoz yaşı, süre, fiziksel
aktivite düzeyi, ailede PMO varlığı, ailede ve hastanede kırık öyküsü, PMO için
tedavinin varlığı, hareket sistemi ve sistemik hastalık varlığı ve kronik ilaç
kullanım öyküsü sorgulandı. QUALEFFO-41 yaşam kalitesini değerlendirmek için
kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular: Hastalarımızın demografik
ve klinik verileri ile yaşam kalitesi puanları arasındaki değerlendirme
sonucunda; QUALEFFO-41 toplam skoruyla DXA ölçümünde egzersiz, yaş, menopoz
yaşı, menopoz süresi, femur boynu T skoru ve femur boynu toplam skoru arasında
istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki vardı. Yaş, yaşam kalitesinin en önemli
belirleyicisi olarak belirlendi.

Sonuç: Çalışmamızda PMO’lu
hastalarda yaşam kalitesini etkileyen bir çok faktör olduğunu tespit ettik. Bu
yüzden hastaların çok yönlu olarak değerlendirilmesi uygun olacaktır. PMO'lu
hastaların tedavisini planlarken, ilaç tedavisinin yanı sıra, egzersizde ve
diğer yaşam kalitesini etkileyen faktörler de göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
