dc.description.abstractObjective: To study and establish sex hormone cutoff levels for osteoporosis risk in men over 50 years old. Methods: Case-control study of 216 men > 50 years, 110 with osteoporosis (O) and 106 with normal bone density (C). We measured estradiol (E2), sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), total testosterone (TT) and albumin. Free testosterone (FT) and bioavailable testosterone (BT) were calculated through Vermeulen’s formula. Results: There was no difference in TT between groups. Relative risks of osteoporosis were 1.89 for E2 < 37 pg/mL (p = 0.02); 1.91 for SHBG > 55 nmol/L (p = 0.019); 2.5 for FT < 7 ng/dL (p = 0.015); 2.7 for BT < 180 ng/dL (p = 0.0003). Conclusions: In men over 50 years old, TT was not indicative of osteoporosis risk while E2 < 37 ng/mL was. SHBG > 55 nmol/L, FT < 7 ng/dL and BT < 180 ng/dL can represent additional indications for osteoporosis screening in men over 50 years old.
dc.description.abstract Objetivo: Estudar e estabelecer pontos de corte dos hormônios sexuais para risco de osteoporose em homens após os 50 anos de idade. Métodos: Estudo caso-controle de 216 homens > 50 anos, 110 com osteoporose e 106 com densidade óssea normal. Foram dosados: estradiol (E2), globulina ligadora de hormônios sexuais (SHBG), testosterona total (TT) e albumina. Foram calculadas: testosterona livre (TLC) e testosterona biodisponível (TB) pela fórmula de Vermeulen. Resultados: Não houve diferença na TT entre os grupos. Os riscos relativos de osteoporose foram de 1,89 para E2 < 37 pg/mL (p = 0,02); 1,91 para SHBG > 55 nmol/L (p = 0,019); 2,5 para TLC < 7 ng/dL (p = 0,015) e 2,7 para TB < 180 ng/dL (p = 0,0003). Conclusão: Em homens acima de 50 anos, TT não indicou risco de osteoporose, mas E2 < 37 pg/mL sim. SHBG > 55 nmol/L, TLC < 7 ng/dL e TB < 180 ng/dL podem representar indicações adicionais para pesquisa de osteoporose em homens acima de 50 anos.pt_BR
