Manahawkin Hip Fracture Risk Reduced by Multivitamin Use
Hip fractures. These are major health issues around the world. Manahawkin hip fracture risk is impacted adversely by drugs taken for all types of issues and positively by nutritional supplements. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center always keeps in mind the risk of fragility hip fracture in our patients with osteoporosis and carefully monitors our Manahawkin osteoporotic patients. A new, simple way to address hip fracture risk seems to be daily multivitamin supplementation. Easy!
Manahawkin 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 effectiveness of screening the general population reported that such screening decreased osteoporotic fractures and hip fractures. (1) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is vigilant about looking for at-risk Manahawkin osteoporotic and hip fracture patients.
DRUGS AND Manahawkin OSTEOPOROTIC HIP FRACTURE
Fragility hip fractures and related issues like mortality are issues for healthcare providers. Certain pharmaceutical products are described as changing bone structure and impact the risk of fragility hip fractures. These drugs were significantly associated with these fractures in a review of 38 studies on the topic: 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 suggested to give patients at risk of fragility hip fractures caused by medications: info about osteoporosis and fracture prevention. (2) That’s good advice. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is all about sharing information and would add that new research points to supplementation as a help.
Manahawkin 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 most interesting. A meta-analysis found 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 very popular and commonly used. Their use was observed to be significantly protective against osteoporosis-related hip fracture.
