ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
To analyze the necessity of bone densitometry for patients long-term taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) over a long period of time, which is one of the risk factors of osteoporosis.METHODS:
We selected patients from 5 veterans hospitals who took SSRI for more than 2 months while taking bone densitometry on a regular basis.RESULTS:
Of the 85 patients from a total of 5 veterans hospitals taking SSRI for more than two months, only 34 patients were under diagnosis and treatment measures of osteoporosis through checking each person's bone mineral density.CONCLUSIONS:
It is necessary for patients taking SSRI to check bone density on a regular basis.
