Relationship between Decrease in Serum Sodium Level and Bone Mineral Density in @entity3604 XXXX .

@entity3604 @entity1 @entity170 @entity174
BACKGROUND: Recently, it has been suggested that decrease in serum sodium level is associated with @entity170 . However, no study in Korea has reported the association of decrease in serum sodium level with @entity170 . In this study, we investigated the relationship between the decrease in serum sodium level and severity of @entity3604 in @entity1 . METHODS: We enrolled 290 subjects who were admitted and operated at Soonchunhyang University Hospital due to major @entity174 . For the control group, we enrolled 1,027 subjects who visited a health promotion center. We carried a 1:1 matching with age and sex from the case group. RESULTS: In a total of 164 age- and sex-matched subjects, serum sodium level was significantly lower in the @entity174 group than in the non- @entity174 group (P=0.001). Serum sodium level was significantly lower in the severe @entity170 group than that in the non-severe @entity170 group (P=0.002). Old age and decrease in serum sodium level were independent risk factors of @entity170 (odds ratio [OR]=1.088, P=0.008, confidence interval [CI]=[1.022-1.157]; OR= 0.840, P=0.037, CI=0.713-0.989). CONCLUSIONS: Serum sodium level was significantly lower in the @entity174 group than that in the non- @entity174 group and in the severe @entity170 group than that in the non-severe @entity170 group. Based on our results, the decrease in serum sodium level could be an independent risk factor for @entity170 .
