Murfreesboro Hip Fracture Risk Reduced by Multivitamin Use

March 16, 2021

Hip fractures. These are significant health issues around the world. Murfreesboro hip fracture risk is impacted negatively by drugs taken for all sorts of issues and helpfully by nutritional supplements. Most Chiropractic Clinic constantly keeps in mind the risk of fragility hip fracture in our osteoporotic patients and carefully observes our Murfreesboro osteoporotic patients. A new, simple way to address hip fracture risk seems to be once-a-day multivitamin supplementation. Easy!

Murfreesboro OSTEOPOROSIS AND HIP FRACTURE

As easy as it seems, just figuring out who are at risk for osteoporotic hip fractures and treating them to avoid a hip fracture is occasionally difficult! A meta-analysis (a top-level review) of published research findings about the efficacy of screening the general population reported that such screening reduced osteoporotic fractures and hip fractures.  (1) Most Chiropractic Clinic is watchful of at-risk Murfreesboro osteoporotic and hip fracture patients.

DRUGS AND Murfreesboro OSTEOPOROTIC HIP FRACTURE

Fragility hip fractures and associated matters like mortality are issues for healthcare providers. Certain pharmaceutical products are reported to change bone structure and influence the risk of fragility hip fractures. These drugs were highly linked to these fractures in this 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 suggested to give patients at risk of fragility hip fractures caused by medications: info about osteoporosis and fracture prevention. (2) That is good advice. Most Chiropractic Clinic is all about sharing information and would add that new research points to supplementation as a help.

Murfreesboro 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 reviewed. The average age was 69 years. 21% were male. Combined multivitamin supplements are already very popular and widely used. Their use was observed to be significantly protective against osteoporosis-related hip fracture. (3) Most Chiropractic Clinic hates to think any of our osteoporotic patients would suffer a hip fracture!
