Intervención integral para el control en pacientes adultos mayores con osteoporosis. comunidad Ainche.

Abstract

The objective was to apply the comprehensive strategy for the control of elderly patients with osteoporosis in the Ainche community of the Chambo canton. Methods: 60 older adults with osteoporosis from the Ainche community of Chambo canton, in the province of Chimborazo, were studied. The variables studied were: Sex, age, schooling, marital status, beneficiary of the human development bonus, weight, height, BMI, knowledge, densitometry, FRAX, was determined using the questionnaire designed and validated internationally in Colombia 2006 OKAT. Osteoporosis predominance was found in women (78.4%) between 70 and 79 years (41.8%), in addition they were found that the predominance of older adults with low weight (52.5%) have osteoporosis. To test the hypotheses, a student of related samples was detected that was performed with the values ​​of the first densitometry performed (p = 0.00) for the diagnosis of osteoporosis plus the application of the FRAX instrument (p = 0.00) and once the integral intervention was made, the values ​​of both densitometry and the FRAX instrument decreased, so it is known that there were differences in differences between the two variables. It is concluded that the application of the integral intervention performed in older adults with osteoporosis is valid since it could be verified in the results; that if there is a significant difference from the beginning of the intervention with the one after it and this population could be made aware to prevent its complications. Promote the use of comprehensive intervention not only in older adults, but in the general population, so that it is not only the complications that will be avoided at the onset of osteoporosis.
