Auburn Hip Fracture Risk Reduced by Multivitamin Use

March 16, 2021

Hip fractures. These are major health issues globally. The risk of Auburn hip fracture is impacted negatively by drugs taken for all types of issues and positively by nutritional supplements. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. always keeps in mind the risk of fragility hip fracture in our patients with osteoporosis and carefully observes our Auburn osteoporotic patients. A new, uncomplicated way to address hip fracture risk appears to be once-a-day multivitamin supplementation. Easy!

Auburn 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 prevent a hip fracture is occasionally difficult! A meta-analysis (a top-level review) of published research data regarding the effectiveness of screening the general population reported that such screening decreased osteoporotic fractures and hip fractures.  (1) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is watchful of at-risk Auburn osteoporotic and hip fracture patients.

DRUGS AND Auburn OSTEOPOROTIC HIP FRACTURE

Fragility hip fractures and associated issues like mortality are issues for healthcare providers. Some pharmaceutical products are reported to alter bone structure and influence the risk of fragility hip fractures. These drugs were significantly associated with these fractures in a review of 38 studies on the subject: antidepressants, antiparkinsonian drugs, antipsychotic drugs, anxiolytic drugs, H2 antagonists, benzodiazepines, proton pump inhibitors, and thyroid hormone.  One drug intervention was linked to a reduced risk of hip fracture: hormone replacement therapy with estrogen. The advice researchers proposed to give patients at risk of fragility hip fractures caused by medications: info about osteoporosis and fracture prevention. (2) That’s good advice. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is all about sharing information and would add that new research points to supplementation as a help.

Auburn 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 reported on 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 quite popular and commonly used. Their use was found to be significantly protective against osteoporosis-related hip fracture. (3) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. hates to think any of our osteoporotic patients would experience a hip fracture!
