Avaliação de perfil de pacientes mulheres na região da COMCAM com base em exames de densitometria óssea

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of osteoporosis through a cross-sectional observational analytic study. Registered in the Plataforma Brasil of the Ministry of Health and approved by the Ethics Committee of the Integrated Educational Center (CEI), this research adheres to the ethical guidelines outlined in Resolution 466/2012 of the National Research Council (CONEP). Participants were informed via an Informed Consent Form (ICF) about the study's scientific nature, objectives, methods, and potential risks and benefits. The study was conducted, involving patients from the COMCAM region in Paraná, Brazil, specifically focusing on individuals who underwent bone densitometry exams. Secondary data were sourced from specialized literature using keywords like osteoporosis, densitometry, and pattern of results. The empirical research was performed in a private medical clinic from the second half of 2023 to the second half of 2024. The sample consisted of patients from COMCAM, comprising 25 municipalities with Campo Mourão as the central hub. According to 2019 IBGE data, COMCAM had 328,863 inhabitants, with Campo Mourão having an estimated population of 96.102 in 2021 and a Human Development Index (HDI) of 0.757. Primary data were collected through a questionnaire and bone densitometry results, focusing on age, gender, weight, race, diet, physical activity, fracture history, medication use affecting bone density, menopause, alcohol consumption, smoking, family history of osteoporosis, and other risk factors. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel® , employing descriptive statistics, Cluster Analysis to identify variables directly influencing osteoporosis severity.
