Toronto Hip Fracture Risk Reduced by Multivitamin Use
Hip fractures. These are significant health issues around the world. Toronto hip fracture risk is impacted adversely by drugs taken for all sorts of issues and helpfully by nutritional supplements. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre constantly considers the risk of fragility hip fracture in our osteoporotic patients and carefully monitors our Toronto osteoporotic patients. A new, simple way to address hip fracture risk seems to be once-a-day multivitamin supplementation. Easy!
Toronto OSTEOPOROSIS AND HIP FRACTURE
As easy as it seems, just figuring out who are at risk for osteoporotic hip fractures and treating them to avoid a hip fracture is sometimes a trick! A meta-analysis (a top-level review) of published research data regarding the effectiveness of screening the general population reported that such screening decreased osteoporotic fractures and hip fractures.

DRUGS AND Toronto OSTEOPOROTIC HIP FRACTURE
Fragility hip fractures and related matters including mortality are issues for healthcare providers. Some pharmaceutical products are reported to alter bone structure and impact the risk of fragility hip fractures. These drugs were highly linked to these fractures in this review of 38 studies on the topic: antidepressants, antiparkinsonian drugs, antipsychotic drugs, anxiolytic drugs, H2 antagonists, benzodiazepines, proton pump inhibitors, and thyroid hormone. One drug intervention was linked to a reduced risk of hip fracture: hormone replacement therapy with estrogen. The advice researchers suggested to give patients at risk of fragility hip fractures caused by medications: details about osteoporosis and fracture prevention. (2) That’s good advice. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is all about sharing information and would add that new research points to supplementation as a help.
Toronto CHIROPRACTIC SUGGESTED NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS AND HIP FRACTURE REDUCTION
As hip fracture is a serious complication of osteoporosis, a non-drug approach like multivitamin use and its effect on hip fracture risk is of interest. A meta-analysis found 8 studies on hip fracture risk and multivitamin use. 80,148 subjects – 4237 of them had a fragility hip fracture – were reviewed. The average age was 69 years. 21% were male. Combined multivitamin supplements are already quite popular and widely used. Their use was observed to be significantly protective against osteoporosis-related hip fracture.
