| Abstract | Osteoporosis is a disease very frequent that rises the risk of bone fracture. Diagnosis is usually done by practicing a Bone Mineral Densitometry, usually located in the femoral neck and / or lumbar spine. This study wants to determine the prevalence of osteoporosis, by using a calcaneal densitometry, in old Mallorcan women. The results establish a prevalence between the 8,5 and 32,6% depending the T-score used. Osteoporosis is related to age, weigh, BMI, previous osteoporotic fractures and breastfeeding. |
