Bone mineral density in long-living patients with coronary artery disease.

The results of cross-sectional study aimed to investigate bone mineral density (BMD) in 202 patients over 90 years old with coronary artery disease are presented in this atricle. Normal BMD indices in the lumbar spine were observed in 40,9%, osteoporosis - in 26,9%, osteopenia - in 32,2% of patients...

Summary:The results of cross-sectional study aimed to investigate bone mineral density (BMD) in 202 patients over 90 years old with coronary artery disease are presented in this atricle. Normal BMD indices in the lumbar spine were observed in 40,9%, osteoporosis - in 26,9%, osteopenia - in 32,2% of patients. Normal BMD indices in the proximal femur were observed in 21,3%, osteoporosis - in 39,9%, and osteopenia - in 38,8% of patients. A negative correlation between the severity of frailty, assessed using the questionnaire «Age is not a hindrance», and indicators of BMD (r=0,26; р=0,01) was found. A positive correlation was found between BMD indices and functional abilities of patients assessed using the Barthel index (r=0,44; p=0,000002) and the IADL scale (r=0,36; p=0,00008). Fractures in history were observed in 27,6% of patients.
