      Background

      Bone related disease is increasingly a problem as lung cancer patients are usually older and the survival rate is increasing. Also cancer patients with multiple chronic comorbidities are at risk of osteoporosis (T-score of ≤ -2.5). The purpose of the study is to investigated the risk factors that attribute to osteoporosis of patients with lung cancer.

      We retrospectively investigated the incidence of osteoporosis of lung cancer patients from March, 2017 to April 2018. A total of 124 patients who were diagnosed with lung cancer at one tertiary academic hospital underwent bone mineral density test.

      Among the 124 patients, 40 (32.3%) showed osteoporosis. Alcohol history, smoking history, lung cancer histology, lung cancer stage, bone metastasis, and comorbidity (hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular accident, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) did not differ significantly among the osteoporosis and normal group . In univariate analysis, age (P = 0.025), BMI (P = 0.028), and female (P < 0.001) were statistically significant. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, age (OR: 1.070, 95% CI:1.016-1.126, p = 0.01), BMI (OR: 0.840, 95% CI:0.738-0.956, p = 0.008), and female (OR: 0.142, 95% CI:0.055-0.366, p < 0.001) were also statistically significant.

      One-third of lung cancer patients were diagnosed with osteoporosis at a high rate. Old age, low BMI and female sex were the risk factors affecting osteoporosis of lung cancer patients. Physicians should be aware to of screening bone marrow density of lung cancer patients with old age, low BMI and female group. Studies on the effect of calcium supply and bisphosphonate treatment on bone metastasis and fracture in these osteoporosis patients are underway.
