Osteoporosis incidence and its associated factors in the older Korean population: findings from a population-based cohort study.
Article in Archives of osteoporosis, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
In South Korea, osteoporosis incidence among the elderly was unclear. Our study revealed an incidence of 18.4 per 1000 person-years, with higher rates in females and those with lower education. The findings indicate a need for targeted prevention strategies to guide health policy for improved osteoporosis care for the elderly.
backgroundAlthough osteoporosis significantly affects morbidity and mortality among the older population in South Korea, the incidence of osteoporosis and its associated factors within this demographic group remains unclear.
methodWe analyzed data from the Korean National Health Panel Survey, a nationally representative, population-based panel survey covering 2008 to 2018, to compute the incidence of osteoporosis among South Koreans aged 50 and older. Using the stepwise Cox Proportional Hazard model, we then identified and determined the associated factors of osteoporosis.
resultOut of the 7304 study participants in our analysis, we identified 792 osteoporosis events, resulting in an overall cumulative incidence rate of 18.4 per 1000 person-years. The incidence of osteoporosis increased steadily with age and was higher among those with lower levels of education. We also found that female study participants were at a statistically significant 7.2-fold higher risk (aHR = 7.2, 95% CI = 5.8-8.8) of developing osteoporosis compared to males. At the same time, those with hyperlipidemia had a statistically significant 1.3-fold increased risk (aHR = 1.3, 95% CI = 1.1-1.4) of developing osteoporosis.
conclusionOur study highlights a significant proportion of the older South Korean population developed osteoporosis, especially among those who are older, females, and who have hyperlipidemia. This indicates the pressing need for the government's and healthcare systems' consideration of osteoporosis diagnosis and prevention strategies to ensure the health and well-being of the older South Korean population.
