研究人员对50岁以上的120名男性和337名女性的问卷调查进行了研究,以确定老年人背痛的患病率。为了获得老年妇女中可能由骨质疏松引起的背痛的粗略指示,比较了两种性别的患病率。在70-79岁年龄组的男性和女性中,未对腿部进行放射治疗的背痛患病率和伴随发病率相似。在这个年龄之后,妇女的患病率更高。那些身高异常下降或脊柱后凸的人有很高的背痛患病率,而那些以前有髋关节或桡骨骨折的人则没有。随着先前骨折次数的增加,女性背痛的患病率也在增加。这项研究几乎没有表明在很老之前以背痛形式出现的骨质疏松症的严重发病率。
Questionnaire responses from 120 men and 337 women over the age of 50 years were studied to determine the prevalence of back pain among the elderly. In order to gain a rough indication of the back pain among elderly women which might be due to osteoporosis, the prevalence was compared in the two sexes. The prevalence of back pain without radiation to the legs and concomitant morbidity was found to be similar among men and women up to the 70-79-year age-group. After this age the prevalence was higher in women. Those with exceptional loss of body height or kyphosis had a high prevalence of back pain, while those who had sustained previous hip or radius fractures did not. There was increasing prevalence of back pain among women with increasing number of previous fractures. The study gives little indication of serious morbidity of osteoporosis in the form of back pain before very old age.
