Fernandina Beach Hip Fracture Risk Reduced by Multivitamin Use
Hip fractures. These are significant health issues globally. The risk of Fernandina Beach hip fracture is impacted negatively by drugs taken for all types of issues and helpfully by nutritional supplements. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic always keeps in mind the risk of fragility hip fracture in our osteoporotic patients and carefully observes our Fernandina Beach osteoporotic patients. A new, uncomplicated way to address hip fracture risk seems to be once-a-day multivitamin supplementation. Easy!
Fernandina Beach OSTEOPOROSIS AND HIP FRACTURE
As easy as it seems, just finding the people who are at risk for osteoporotic hip fractures and treating them to avoid a hip fracture is sometimes a trick! A meta-analysis (a top-level review) of published research findings regarding the efficacy of screening the general population reported that such screening reduced osteoporotic fractures and hip fractures. (1) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is vigilant about looking for at-risk Fernandina Beach osteoporotic and hip fracture patients.
DRUGS AND Fernandina Beach OSTEOPOROTIC HIP FRACTURE
Fragility hip fractures and associated issues like mortality are issues for healthcare providers. Some pharmaceutical products are reported to alter bone structure and influence the risk of fragility hip fractures. These drugs were highly linked to these fractures in this review of 38 studies on the subject: antidepressants, antiparkinsonian drugs, antipsychotic drugs, anxiolytic drugs, H2 antagonists, benzodiazepines, proton pump inhibitors, and thyroid hormone. One drug intervention was associated with a decreased risk of hip fracture: hormone replacement therapy with estrogen. The advice researchers proposed to give patients at risk of fragility hip fractures caused by medications: info about osteoporosis and fracture prevention. (2) That is good advice. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is all about sharing information and would add that new research points to supplementation as a help.
Fernandina Beach CHIROPRACTIC SUGGESTED NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS AND HIP FRACTURE REDUCTION
As hip fracture is a serious complication of osteoporosis, a non-drug approach like multivitamin use and its effect on hip fracture risk is of interest. A meta-analysis reported on 8 studies on hip fracture risk and multivitamin use. 80,148 subjects – 4237 of them had a fragility hip fracture – were examined. The average age was 69 years. 21% were male. Combined multivitamin supplements are already quite popular and widely used. Their use was found to be significantly protective against osteoporosis-related hip fracture. (3) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic would hate to see any of our osteoporotic patients suffer a hip fracture!
