摘要
The purpose of this prospective study was to extend the results of previous studies to determine if an accelerated rate of loss of bone mineral density (BMD) continues for 6 years after a hip fracture. Eighty-five elderly patients who had sustained a hip fracture had determinations of BMD made at the time of fracture; 55 of these patients were available for reassessment of BMD 1 year later, and 21 were available for reassessment of BMD 6 to 7 years later. The change in BMD from injury to 1 year and from 1 to 6 years was determined and correlated with pre- and postinjury variables, such as ambulatory ability, dietary intake of calcium, serum vitamin D levels, and mental status. There was a marked decrease in BMD in the in the first year after fracture, with the mean change in BMD being -4.3% at the femoral neck and -1.8% at the lumbar spine. Between 1 and 6 years after fracture, however, there was a dramatic increase in the BMD at both the femoral neck and lumbar spine measurement sites. Relative to 1 year after fracture, the mean increases were 7.7% at the femoral neck and 4.5% at the lumbar spine. In many cases, the loss of bone mineral that occurred in the first year after fracture was completely recouped in the subsequent 5 years. Five of the 21 patients (24%) sustained a contralateral hip fracture in the 6 years after the index fracture. Lumbar spine BMD was lower at baseline (p = 0.02), 1 year after fracture (p = 0.007), and 6 Sears after fracture (p = 0.003) in patients who sustained a second hip fracture than in those who did not. There was a general decrease in the functional activity level of patients in the 6 years after a hip fracture, but there were no statistically significant relationships between changes in BMD and the functional mobility of patients. The mean calcium intake in patients improved remarkably in the 6 years after fracture, but there was no correlation between daily calcium intake and changes in BMD, During the first year after a hip fracture, there is a rapid loss of bone mineral from the lumbar spine and contralateral femoral neck. Between 1 and 6 years after fracture, however, BMD is likely to increase, perhaps to levels greater than those at baseline. Although this investigation is small, the findings of this study point to the importance of further larger studies to further clarify the natural history of BMD after a hip fracture and the potential impact of pharmacological intervention on that natural history.
