| Objective To investigate the effect of drink on osteoporosis in middle-aged and elderly population in Beijing community. Method From November 2017 to July 2018, a total of 1,642 middle-aged and elderly people in 10 communities from Chaoyang District and Fengtai District in Beijing were interviewed by using on-site questionnaires. The questionnaire included the subjects’ basic information and their drinking habits (Dairy products, soy milk, black tea, green tea, coffee, and carbonated beverages). Compared the general characteristics, drinking habits and the results of bone mineral density test between osteoporosis patients and normal people and analyzed the possible influencing factors of osteoporosis in the surveyed population logistic regression method. Results 1540 subjects were in accordance with the study protocol at total, including 521 osteoporosis population, 305 normal people, 208 men and 618 women. Their average age was (63.02±7.15) years. There were significant differences in gender, age, body mass index, menopause and menopause years between the two groups (P<0.01). According to χ2 test, the proportion of osteoporosis people who often drink black tea and green tea were lower than that of people with normal bone mass, which had significant statistical difference (P<0.01-0.05). According to logistic regression analysis, drinking milk products regularly in the whole population might be the protective factor of osteoporosis prevention (β=?0.44, OR=0.64, P=0.017), and drinking coffee regularly in the female population might be the protective factor of osteoporosis prevention (β=?1.46, OR=0.23, P=0.032). Conclusion The incidence of osteoporosis in middle-aged and elderly people in the community from Beijing is not only affected by factors such as gender, age, body mass index, age of menopause, but also closely related to residents' drinking habits. Postmenopausal women are the key population for osteoporosis prevention and treatment. |
