THURSDAY, Dec. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) — Adults with M \u00a9ni \u00a8re disease (MD) have increased risk of osteoporosis, and those with osteoporosis have increased risk of MD, according to a study published online Nov. 18 in Nutrients<\/em>.<\/p>\n Hyo Geun Choi, M.D., from the Hallym University College of Medicine in Anyang, South Korea, and colleagues estimated the bidirectional association of MD with osteoporosis in a population aged \u00e2\u0089\u00a540 years. In study I, 9,529 participants with MD and 38,116 controls were examined for prior history of osteoporosis; in study II, 65,858 patients with osteoporosis and 65,858 controls were assessed for prior history of MD.<\/p>\n The researchers found that the rate of prior history of osteoporosis was 13.3 and 11.3 percent for the MD and control group in Study I, with a hazard ratio of 1.12 for MD among patients with a prior history of osteoporosis. In Study II, the rate of a prior history of MD was 3.7 and 2.0 percent for patients with osteoporosis and controls, respectively, with a hazard ratio of 1.50 for previous MD among patients with osteoporosis.<\/p>\n “Patients with MD showed a high rate of subsequent occurrence of osteoporosis. In addition, patients with osteoporosis showed a greater rate of MD occurrence,” the authors write. “Clinicians need to consider this reciprocal association when managing patients with MD and osteoporosis.”<\/p>\n
