Summary:West Siberia is the region, where annual sunlight days amount is very small because of geographical location in high latitudes. So, all inhabitants have high risk of vitamin D deficiency, what is proved OP fractures frequency studies. To estimate bone mineral density (BMD) loss in endocrinological patients, we performed 528 persons with such diseases as diabetes mellitus type 1, hypothyroidism, toxic goiter and glucocorticoid-dependent bronchial asthma. BMD was measured by DEXA method in forearm distal parts. Atraumatic fractures were registered in 15,3 %.We demonstrated high frequency of osteopenic syndrome (62,6-80%) in endocrine patients, more expressive in postmenopausal women. The received data allowed to determinate OP risk factors for our territory.
