| Description |
Fractures of the proximal femur (FPF) significantly affect the increase of mortality and disability in men. According to the data of the epidemiological studies in Russian Federation the incidence FPF at the age of 65 years is higher in men than in women, which is different from those obtained in most other countries. Objective: To assess the risk factors for fracture and to estimate the risk of fracture using the FRAX in order to calculate the absolute risk of fracture in men with occurred FPF. Materials and Methods: We performed a cross-sectional continuous epidemiological study. The study group included 128 men 40-69 years old with FPF, the comparison group consisted of 108 patients with FPF 70 years of age or older. The patients filled out questionnaires to assess the risk factors for fracture. Alcohol consumption was estimated based on the results of tests «CAGE» and «Audit». In order to identify vertebral fractures we performed radiography of thoracic and lumbar spine with morphometric studies. We measured the levels of testosterone and 17-estradiol electrochemiluminescence immunoassay «ECLIA» (Elecsys 2010). FRAX (www.shef.ac.uk\FRAX) was applied to estimate the absolute risk of fracture; the results were interpreted according to the schedule thresholds depending on the patient’s age (www.osteoporoz.ru). Statistical analysis was performed using STATISTICA v.10.0 software. Results: The patients in the study group had more prior fractures (p
