OP would induce fracture2, which do poses a negative effect on the elders' life quality and causes financial and care burden to the patients' families and to society3. It is important to track risk factors associated with osteoporosis so that interventions to prevent osteoporosis can be done in a timely manner. Most of the existing literatures about risk factors of osteoporosis focus on demographic variables, socioeconomic status, and lifestyle and environment variables. However, very few studies have looked at the association between housing type and osteoporosis. Method Data from tracking research about the urban and rural elders in Beijing, China in 2010, comprising 3,168 samples, is used to test the hypothesis whether housing conditions satisfaction is negatively associated with the occurrence of osteoporosis among elders by multivariable logistic regression. Results & Discussion After controlling for confounding variables, housing conditions satisfaction is found to be significantly associated with osteoporosis (OR=0.60, 95%CI 0.46-0.78). Efficient intervention of osteoporosis among elders should consider housing factors. In order to modify the house to meet the senior adults' need, further qualitative research is needed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: abstract proceedings research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
