Carrolltown Hip Fracture Risk Reduced by Multivitamin Use
Hip fractures. These are major health issues globally. Carrolltown hip fracture risk is impacted adversely by drugs taken for all types of issues and helpfully by nutritional supplements. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation constantly considers the risk of fragility hip fracture in our patients with osteoporosis and carefully monitors our Carrolltown osteoporotic patients. A new, uncomplicated way to address hip fracture risk seems to be daily multivitamin supplementation. Easy!
Carrolltown OSTEOPOROSIS AND HIP FRACTURE
As easy as it seems, just finding the people who are at risk for osteoporotic hip fractures and treating them to prevent a hip fracture is occasionally difficult! A meta-analysis (a top-level review) of published research data about the efficacy of screening the general population reported that such screening decreased osteoporotic fractures and hip fractures.

DRUGS AND Carrolltown OSTEOPOROTIC HIP FRACTURE
Fragility hip fractures and related issues including mortality are issues for healthcare providers. Certain pharmaceutical products are reported to alter bone structure and influence the risk of fragility hip fractures. These drugs were significantly linked to these fractures in this review of 38 studies on the topic: antiparkinsonian drugs, antidepressants, anxiolytic drugs, antipsychotic drugs, benzodiazepines, proton pump inhibitors, H2 antagonists, and thyroid hormone. One drug intervention was linked to a decreased risk of hip fracture: hormone replacement therapy with estrogen. The advice researchers suggested to give patients at risk of fragility hip fractures due to medications: details about osteoporosis and fracture prevention. (2) That’s good advice. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is all about giving out information and would add that new research indicates that supplementation helps.
Carrolltown CHIROPRACTIC SUGGESTED NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS AND HIP FRACTURE REDUCTION
As hip fracture is a serious complication of osteoporosis, a non-drug approach like multivitamin use and its effect on hip fracture risk is most interesting. A meta-analysis reported on 8 studies on hip fracture risk and multivitamin use. 80,148 subjects – 4237 of them had a fragility hip fracture – were reviewed. The average age was 69 years. 21% were male. Combined multivitamin supplements are already quite popular and widely used. Their use was found to be significantly protective against osteoporosis-related hip fracture.
