Objetivo: Determinar la incidencia de osteoporosis densitométrica en mujeres adultas mayores posmenopáusicas. Material Y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, prospectivo de corte transversal y no probabilístico. Se incluyeron 146 pacientes mujeres adultos mayores que se realizaron un examen de densitometría ósea completa en el servicio de densitometría del centro médico Global Diagnóstico. Resultados: De los 146 casos, se encontró 8(5.48 %) densitometrías normales y 138(94.52%) anormales; de las cuales tenemos 38(26.03% casos de osteopenia y 100(68.49%) casos de osteoporosis. De los 100 casos de osteoporosis 6(6%) solamente presentaron compromiso en columna, 25(25%) solamente presentaron compromiso en antebrazo, 49(49%) presentaron compromiso en columna y antebrazo, 3(3%) presentaron compromiso en caderas y antebrazo, y únicamente 17(17%) casos comprometieron las tres regiones: columna, caderas y antebrazo. La osteoporosis es mayor a partir de los 75 años hasta los 84 años y desde los 85 años hasta los 94 años, donde ya no se encontró casos normales. Conclusión: Se concluyó que en la mayoría de exámenes densitométricos que se realizan, al sexo femenino adulto mayor, la osteoporosis es frecuente. En nuestro estudio el 68.5 % de las mujeres tienen osteoporosis. Se demostró que la osteoporosis es mayor en las mujeres posmenopáusicas que tienen mayor peso, con 51(70%) de casos y menor talla, con 68(74.7%) de casos. Se concluyó que la mayor incidencia de osteoporosis según las tres regiones evaluadas, es en el antebrazo con 95 (65.1%) casos de osteoporosis. Palabras clave: densitometría, osteoporosis, osteopenia / Objective: To determine the incidence of densitometric osteoporosis in elderly postmenopausal women. Material and Methods: We conducted an observational, prospective cross-sectional and descriptive and non-probability. 146 Patients were included women older adults who were a bone densitometry test complete in the service of densitometry of the center Global medical diagnosis. Results: Of the 146 cases, found 8 (5.48 %) and normal densitometry 138 (94.52 %) abnormal; of which we have 38 (26.03 % of the cases of osteopenia and 100 (68.49 %) cases of osteoporosis. Of the 100 cases of osteoporosis 6 (6 %) only presented commitment in column, 25 (25 %) only presented commitment in forearm, 49 (49 %) showed commitment in column and forearm, 3 (3 %) showed commitment in hips and forearm, and only 17 (17 %) cases committed the three regions: spine, hips and forearm. Osteoporosis is higher in women older than 75 years to 84 years; since the age of 85 to 94 years, where is no longer found normal cases. Conclusion: We concluded that in the majority of reviews densitometric which they are performed, the female sex older adult, osteoporosis is frequent. In our study, the 68.5 % of women have osteoporosis. It was shown that osteoporosis is higher in postmenopausal women who have greater weight, with 51 (70 %) of cases and smaller size, with 68 (74.7 %) of cases. It was concluded that the highest incidence of osteoporosis according to the three regions evaluated, is in the forearm with 95 (65.1 %) cases of osteoporosis.
