To evaluate the association between the level of iodine in the body and postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Previous studies have documented the fact that thyroid hormone level
may be a contributing factor to bone loss during the postmenopausal period. The
results of this research revealed that the urinary iodine level was
significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
To evaluate the association between the level of iodine
in the body and postmenopausal osteoporosis.
One hundred thirty-two patients selected and categorised
into three groups. Group one involved 34
healthy postmenopausal females; group two involved 38 osteopenic females
and group three involved 60 postmenopausal osteoporosis. The three groups were
compared for laboratory, clinical, and demographic findings.
Group one exhibited higher urinary iodine levels followed
by osteopenic and postmenopausal osteoporosis group. These differences were
conserved following the adjustment for body mass index. The urinary iodine
level precisely associated with the total T-score for the lumbar spine. The
urinary iodine level was considerably related to total T-score after adjusting
alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme, urinary deoxypyridinoline, and body mass index.
The females with postmenopausal osteoporosis exhibited
considerably lower levels of urinary iodine and iodine replacement may be
necessary in countering osteoporosis within areas where iodine insufficiency is
endemic.
