dc.description.abstractObjective: Osteoporosis (OP) is a disease of bones that leads increasing risk of the bone fracture, decreasing of mineral density (BMD) and deterioration of bone microarchitecture. In this study, it is aimed to assess the quality of life by using QUALEFFO-41 scale in postmenopaused women with and without osteoporosis. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional analytic survey was conducted on 280 postmenopaused women. BMD of the patients was diagnosed and osteoporosis-specific quality of life criteria (QUALEFFO-41) was used to determine the quality of life. Results: In our study, the mean age of the participants was 56.9 +/- 8.3. Of the participants, 38 (13.6%) were osteoporotic, 156 (55.7%) were osteopenic, 86 (30.7%) were normal. While the age and menopause duration increased, osteoporosis frequency increased (p<0.001), but while body mass index (BMI) increased, osteoporosis frequency decreased (p<0.001). When their activities increased, osteoporosis frequency decreased (p=0.006) and osteoporosis frequency was higher in having previous fracture history (p=0.015). When the women's quality of life compared with the results of DXA, a negative, moderate significant relationship was found. The quality of life was decreasing in the individuals having older age and lower education level. Quality of life of was higher in workers, individuals having high income level, having exercise and high activities (p<0.001). Conclusion: While OP was higher with aging, menopause duration, having previous fracture history; OP was lower for high activitiy and for high BMI. While the quality of life was higher in workers, individuals having high income, having exercise regularly; the quality of life was lower in aging, OP and lower educational level.en_US
