Fractures Articles

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) have been associated with falls in studies either exclusively or predominantly of women. It is, therefore, less clear if LUTS are risk factors for falls in men.

We conducted a systematic review of the literature on the association between LUTS and falls, injuries, and fractures in community-dwelling older men.

Falls and fractures have a significant impact on our patients, their families, and caregivers, and cost the health care system billions of dollars. Each year, millions of adults aged 65 and older fall.

Osteoporosis and overactive bladder (OAB) are prevalent conditions in older adults and are independent risk factors for falls and fractures. A paucity of evidence exists examining the impact of coexisting OAB in patients with osteoporosis.

PURPOSE - Among older men, moderate and severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are associated with increased fall risk compared to mild LUTS. Falls are a major risk factor for fractures. Therefore, we assessed associations of LUTS with fracture risk in community dwelling U.

To analyze the prevalence of osteoporosis during androgen deprivation therapy (A.D.T.).

Treatment and prognosis of prostate cancer necessitate management of long-term consequences of A.D.T., including accelerated bone loss resulting in osteoporosis; osteoporotic fractures are associated with excess morbidity and mortality.

Although nocturia is associated with various comorbidities, its impact on falls and fractures remains unclear. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the association between nocturia with falls and fractures, both as a prognostic and causal risk factor.
