Background: Low bone density leads to fragility fracture, with significant impact on morbidity and mortality. While ethnic differences in bone density have been observed in healthy subjects, this has not yet been explored in fragility fracture patients. Aims: To assess if ethnicity is associated with bone mineral density and serum markers of bone health in female patients who experience fragility fractures. Methods: 219 female patients presenting with at least one fragility fracture at a major tertiary hospital in Western Sydney Australia were studied. Western Sydney is a region with great cultural diversity, comprising people from over 170 ethnicities. Within this cohort, the three largest broad ethnic groups were Caucasians (62.1 %), Asians (22.8 %), and Middle Eastern patients (15.1 %). Location and nature of the presenting fracture and other relevant past medical history were obtained. Bone mineral density, measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and bone-related serum markers were compared between ethnicities. Covariates (age, height, weight, diabetes, smoking, and at-risk drinking) were adjusted in multiple linear regression model. Results: Although Asian ethnicity was associated with lower bone mineral density at the lumbar spine in fragility fracture patients, this association was no longer significant after adjustment for weight. Ethnicity (Asian or Middle Eastern) was not a determinant of bone mineral density at any other skeletal site. Caucasians had lower estimated glomerular filtration rate compared to Asian and Middle Eastern subjects. Serum parathyroid hormone concentrations were significantly lower in Asians compared to other ethnicities. Conclusion: Asian ethnicity and Middle Eastern ethnicity were not major determinants of bone mineral density at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, or total hip. |
