The aim of this study is to assess the relations between demographic properties, body mass indexes (BMI); calcitriol, parathormone (PTH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels, bone fractures and dual-energy-X ray absorptiometry (DXA) T scores of osteoporotic patients. 310 patients with osteoporosis were assessed. Serum calcium, calcitriol, PTH, ALP levels and BMI of patients were determined. DXA lumbar total (LT), femur neck (FN), femur total (FT) values were measured. Thoracal, lumbar lateral, pelvic radiographs were obtained. In women, FT values were positive correlating with BMI, FN and FT were positively correlated with LT; FN and FT were positively correlated with each other. There was a negative correlation between PTH and calcitriol levels. In men, LT and PTH were positively correlated. 113 patients had bone fractures. These patients' PTH levels were higher than patients who were not having fractures. Women with bone fractures had higher BMI values. Except BMI and fractures; in men, LT and PTH were positively correlated. Our results were similar with literature. Exceptional results may be associated with our small patient population.
