Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate osteoporosis prevalence and factors influencing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among older Korean women with osteoporosis.
Methods: The study design was a retrospective study using secondary data analysis. Data for 1,355 women aged 65 and older from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2015 to 2016 were included. Linear regression analysis was conducted for influential factors on HRQoL, measured by the Euro Quality of Life-5D (EQ-5D).
Results: The prevalence of osteoporosis was 41.3% in older Korean women. The EQ-5D index score was lower in older women with osteoporosis (0.83) than those without osteoporosis (0.86). Lower HRQoL in older Korean women with osteoporosis was associated with lower household income, perceived health status as bad, comorbidity, activity restriction, and stress.
Conclusion: The findings indicate that the prevalence of osteoporosis was high in older Korean women. In addition, healthcare professionals need to consider individual conditions such as economic status, perceived health status, other chronic diseases, activity restriction and level of stress for improvement of HRQoL in older Korean women with osteoporosis.
