| description | Background This study aimed to investigate the association between smoke exposure and the risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women in the United States, using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).Methods A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using NHANES data from 2005 to 2010, 2013 to 2014, and 2017 to 2018. The study population consisted of postmenopausal women aged 18 years and older. Their bone health status was assessed using self-reported osteoporosis and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurements, smoke exposure was evaluated through serum cotinine levels, and multivariate logistic regression models were used to examine the association between smoke exposure and osteoporosis risk, adjusting for sociodemographic factors, health behaviours, and comorbidities.Results The analysis comprised 4,140 postmenopausal women, and data analysis showed that active smoking was significantly associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis, with an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 2.020 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.35–3.03), after adjusting for potential confounders. Additionally, age, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, marital status, and body mass index were identified as significant predictors of osteoporosis risk.Conclusions Smoke exposure, particularly active smoking, was associated with an elevated risk of osteoporosis among postmenopausal women in the United States. The findings underscore the need to address modifiable risk factors, such as smoking cessation, and implement targeted interventions to mitigate disparities in bone health. |
