Dynamics Of Osteoporosis Development In Perimenopausal Women

Osteoporosis is one of the most common diseases, which occupies a leading place in the structure of morbidity and mortality of the population. According to the WHO, osteoporosis is the fourth leading cause of disability and mortality among patients with bone fractures (only 25% of patients fully recover from a hip fracture, 50% remain disabled, and 25% die from complications). The perimenopausal period is known to be a risk factor for bone disease. We assessed the skeletal health of 62 perimenopausal women, including their complaints, clinical symptoms of menopause, hormonal status, calcium and vitamin D metabolism, and use of the transdermal gel Estrogel. Based on the data obtained, we developed a scale for assessing the clinical signs of osteoporosis in menopause. A point-based assessment of the 10 parameters studied allows us to create risk groups for bone fractures in perimenopause.
