Hip fracture and risk of
major osteoporotic fracture were associated with psychotropic medication use.
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 %).
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 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.
