ARTICLE 65-75 Years Old Relationship Between Cardiovascular Risk and Fracture Risk
ABSTRACT
AIM: The aim of our study is to determine the relationship between fracture risk and cardiovascular risk in patients aged 67-75 years.
METHOD: Detailed anamnesis of the patients was taken and physical examinations were performed. Laboratory parameters including fasting plasma glucose, lipid profile, kidney, liver, thyroid functions and complete blood count were examined. Bone mineral densities were measured. Using the information obtained, cardiovascular risk scores (Framingham, SCORE, Q-Risk and BNF) and fracture risk scores (FRAX) were calculated. All cardiovascular risk score results were compared separately with FRAX and it was investigated whether there was a relationship between them.
