Objective : to study bone mineral density (BMD) in elderly and senile women with knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA). Patients and methods . The investigation enrolled 124 women (mean age, 73.3±8.46 years) diagnosed with OA meeting the ACR diagnostic criteria. Lumbar spine (LI-IV) and femoral neck BMD values were determined; knee and hip X-ray in the frontal projection was carried out to assess the radiographic stage according to the Kellgren and Lawrence classification. Results and discussion . The overall incidence of osteoporosis (OP) and ostopenia in the study cohort was 28 and 41%, respectively. OP was diagnosed in 20% of women aged 60–74 years and in 38% of those aged 75–90 years (p 0.05). In the age groups of 65–74 years and ≥75 years, women with stage III–IV hip OA had a significantly higher femoral neck BMD than those with Stage I–II (p 0.05). Conclusion . The relationship between BMD and OA-related structural changes is contradictory and requires further investigation.
