Abstract

Background: Osteoporosis in males has lower prevalence, awareness, and treatment rates than that in females. However, if fracture occurs, the injury is generally more serious in males. This study evaluated potential factors associated with loss of bone mineral density (BMD) in male smokers and analyzed its relationship with the metabolic syndrome.
Methods: The participants were 140 male adults who had undergone BMD testing at the Medical Examination Saint Paul¡¯s Hospital. We selected medical records retrospectively and extracted data regarding BMD, smoking history, criteria for metabolic syndrome diagnosis, vitamin D levels, and routine blood tests. The association between BMD and metabolic syndrome was evaluated. In addition, relevant factors associated with BMD in male smokers were analyzed.
Results: Aging and metabolic syndrome in male smokers showed a significant association with BMD on multiple regression analysis (P=0.044 and P=0.027, respectively).
Conclusion: BMD in males showed a positive association with metabolic syndrome and a negative relationship with aging.
