Abstract
By 2030, obesity is expected to affect more than 50% of the global population as well as fractures risk is also forecasted to increase.
Aim: To assess the association between obesity and fragility fractures risk in the Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) outpatients.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey enrolled 129 subjects.
Results: Group 1 (29 women and 1 man, aged 68.3 ±6.4) were obese, and Group 2 (94 women and 5 men, aged 68.6 ±6.2) were non obese. In Group 1, humerus fractures were significantly more frequent (?2=4.871, p=0.028) and wrist fractures were significantly less frequent than in Group 2 (22=4.973, p=0.026). No differences were found for other fractures localizations and FRAX® risk assessments between the groups.
Conclusion: In the FLS outpatients setting, obesity was associated with a lower risk of wrist fracture but with a higher risk of humerus fractures. The sampling being highly heterogeneous, the results should be interpreted with caution.
