Evaluation of Factors Associated with Fall History and Fear of Falling in Geriatric Female Patients with Osteoporosis

Öz

Aim: Fear of falling is a common condition in patients with osteoporosis and leads to a decrease in physical performance of patients, causing a vicious cycle. The objective of the study was to determine the frequency of falls, descriptive data regarding falls, and factors associated with falling in female patients with osteoporosis aged 65 years and over, and to evaluate the factors that may affect fear of falling (FoF). Material and Methods: Ninety eight female patients (mean age: 74.0±5.1 years) were evaluated with descriptive information about fall history and FoF, demographic and clinical data, and routine blood tests. Falls Efficacy Scale International, hand grip strength, the Rivermead Mobility Index, and the Douleur Neuropathique 4 questionnaire scores were compared. Results: 25-hydroxyvitamin D, vitamin B12, and hand grip strength were lower and hemoglobin A1C level was higher in patients who fell within the last three months (p<0.001, p=0.002, p<0.001, p=0.026, respectively). All patients who fell had FoF, did not live alone, and did not engage in regular physical activity. The majority of the patients who fell had previously been diagnosed with osteoporosis (83.3%) and had poorer sleep quality (p=0.003). Increasing age, late menopause, and living alone had a significant effect on FoF (p=0.026, p=0.010, p=0.006, respectively). Conclusion: While falling may be associated with serum vitamin D and B12 levels, muscle strength, blood glucose level, regular physical activity, having FoF, living alone, poor sleep quality and previously diagnosed with OP; FoF may be associated with advanced age, age of menopause, and living alone. These results show that falls and FoF are multifactorial events in geriatric patients with osteoporosis
