Özet
A lot features, belonging to reproductive periods of women can affect the development of osteoporosis. We have aimed to search whether one of the reproductive factors, which is parity, is a risk factor for the progression of postmenopausal osteoporosis or not. This research has been realized on 328 postmenopausal women who have applied to Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Polyclinic. Patients, who have secondary osteoporosis and risk factors, have not been included in this research. The patients have been categorized into 4 groups, such as patients who have never given birth, given birth once and twice, three and four times, five times and over. Bone mineral density of the patients have been examined from femoral neck and lomber vertebrae region (L1-L4). As a result of statistical analysis, a negative correlation has been found both in bone mineral density of femoral neck and lomber vertebrae with parity (p=0.002, p=0.010, respectively). When the patients are examined according to their age group, a significant relation has been found between parity and bone mineral density only in 50-60 age group. A significant relation has not been found between parity and osteoporotic fracture. It has been found that increased parity is a factor, decreasing the bone mineral density. We have concluded that the early detection and treatment of osteoporosis can be realized with the search of the parity, while the risk factors for osteoporosis are being examined on women who are in postmenopausal period. Finally, it has been concluded that since many different results have been concluded from this subject, new studies must be done so as to enlighten this subject.
