Abstract
Aim: to assess compliance to osteoporosis (OP) prophylaxis recommendations and its influence on mineral bone density (BMD) and development of comorbid diseases in postmenopause. Methods: prospective cohort study included 404 postmenopausal women aged from 47 to 59 with OP risk factors. BMD was assessed by distant forearm X-ray absorptiometry. Comorbid diseases were registered. Compliance to recommendations was assessed by questionnaire.. Results. Group 1 consisted of 276 non-compliant women. Group 2 (128 persons) changed their lifestyle and consumed recommended amount of daily calcium and vitamin D. Group 1 demonstrated significant increase of coronary heart disease, chronic heart failure and a fraction of persons in whom BMD decreased during 2 years of survey(x2 = 6.986; P = 0.017).. Relative risk of arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease, chronic heart failure and glucose metabolism disorders significantly decreased in group 2. Comclusion: constant co-operation between doctors and patients is necessary to keep the patient compliant and to obtain clinically relevant results in OP prophylaxis.
