The Relation between some Vitamins and Homocysteine Levels with Pre and Postmenopausal osteoporosis Women

Abstract

Osteoporosis is a chronic condition with several stages. Low bone mass and microstructural degeneration of bone tissue are two characteristics of this chronic, progressive condition, which raises the risk of fracture. The study, which lasted from December 2021 to April 2022 and included participants aged 18 to 76, was carried out at the Dijla Hospital for Medical Rehabilitation in Tikrit. 80 people made up thes total number of subjects: 25 pre- and postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, and 30 pre- and postmenopausal healthy women (15 for each group). Our study found that pre- and postmenopausal osteoporotic women had higher homocysteine levels while having lower amounts of folic acid and vitamin B12 compared to the control group. The study found a negative link between vitamins and osteoporosis but a positive correlation with homocysteine, which is thought to be a diagnostic marker for the osteoporosis condition.
