The team used a University of Sheffield developed tool called FRAX, which predicts the probability of a
hip fracture or a major
osteoporotic fracture (a
hip, spine, upper arm or lower arm fracture), to identify older women at high risk.
It can be concluded that high urinary phytate concentrations are correlated with reduced bone mass loss in lumbar spine over 12 months and with reduced 10 - year probability of
hip and major
osteoporotic fracture, indicating that increased phytate consumption can prevent development of osteoporosis.
The 10 - year fracture probability was also significantly higher in the low - phytate group compared to the high - phytate group, both in
hip (0.37 ± 0.06 % vs 0.18 ± 0.04 %) and major
osteoporotic fracture (2.45 ± 0.24 % vs 1.83 ± 0.11 %).
Almost 30 % of
hip fractures occur in men, and 1 in 8 men over age 50 will have an
osteoporotic fracture.
Hip fracture and risk of major
osteoporotic fracture were associated with psychotropic medication use.
