Prevalence and patterns of bone mineral density disorders among women in Buraidah, KSA.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: Bone mineral density (BMD) disorders are disorders of bone mineralization in which bone density is reduced (T score <-1). BMD causes health and social burdens on individuals and communities. This study estimated the prevalence and determined the patterns of BMD disorders among women in Buraidah, KSA. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 342 women visiting the DEXA Scanning Center in Buraidah. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan was used to measure the BMD, and cutoffs were defined based on World Health Organization criteria: normal = T score >-1, osteopenia = T score <-1 to >-2.5, and osteoporosis = T score ≤-2.5. Sociodemographic and health-related data were collected. Logistic regression was used to measure the association of various participant characteristics with BMD disorders. Results: The mean age of the participants was 61.2 ± 7.54 years. The overall prevalence of BMD disorders was 76%, of whom 42% had osteopenia, 24% had both osteoporosis and osteopenia, and 10% had osteoporosis. Body mass index, menopause, hypertension, oral hypoglycemics, and calcium supplementation were significant predictors of BMD disorders. Conclusions: The high prevalence of BMD disorders among women in KSA necessitates establishing and strengthening osteoporosis prevention programs to ensure healthy aging among women in KSA. Large-scale community-based studies are needed to accurately estimate the burden and risk factors of BMD disorders in the community.
