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.

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.

Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are prone to certain diseases in their lifetime, such as osteoporosis. Absorption of calcium is essential to maintaining good bone health and preventing osteoporosis. This study examined primary care providers’ (PCPs) choice of calcium supplementation, as well as type of calcium supplementation, and the relationship between variables in the IDD population. Ten PCPs were asked to complete a 14-question web-based survey, with five surveys completed. Calcium citrate was the preferred supplement among respondents at 50%. Retrospective data was collected from patient records and included type of calcium supplement prescribed, bone density test results, and other variable factors. The type of calcium supplement prescribed did not affect bone density results in subjects with IDD. There was a weak significance between calcium supplement type and gender and vitamin D. It is of modest benefit to include vitamin D with calcium supplementation to enhance calcium absorption.
