The aim of this study is to compare the Male Osteoporosis Risk Score and the Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool with the gold standard DEXA in determining the risk of osteoporosis in the lumbar and femoral regions in male individuals in the Turkish population, and to investigate their sensitivity and specificity in the first stage of screening for the detection of male osteoporosis.
This study will be conducted as a single-center, retrospective study at the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic of Kayseri City Hospital between January 2024 and January 2025. Male patients aged 50-75 who underwent osteoporosis screening with DEXA between January 2021 and January 2024 at the FTR outpatient clinics of Kayseri City Hospital will be included in this study. Patient data will be obtained retrospectively from the hospital database. Sociodemographic data (age, height, weight, body mass index) and current laboratory data (complete blood count, biochemical values (fasting blood sugar, BUN, creatinine, AST, ALT, calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, total protein, albumin, parathyroid hormone, vitamin D3, T4, TSH), and DEXA values (bone mineral density, lumbar vertebrae, and total T scores for the femoral neck and femur) will be recorded. The OST score will be calculated using body weight and age parameters. The MORES score will be calculated based on age, weight, and hospital data, specifically the presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with ICD-10 code: J44 and its subgroups.
The data will be evaluated using the SPSS 24.0 software package. Descriptive statistical analyses will include calculations of mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentages. In comparative statistics, the Student's t-test or Mann-Whitney U test will be used to compare independent groups. Chi-square analysis will be applied to compare categorical variables. Pearson or Spearman correlation analyses will be applied to evaluate the relationship between variables. Both groups will be compared, and p<0.05 will be considered statistically significant.

| Dual energy Xray Absorptiometry (DEXA) | DEXA measures bone mineral density (BMD; g/cm2) based on the scanned bone area. T and Z scores are used to interpret DEXA results. The T score indicates how many standard deviations below or above the average BMD measurements of a patient of the same gender and younger adults. The T score should be used for the diagnosis of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and men over 50 years of age. The Z score indicates how many standard deviations below or above the average BMD measurements of the same gender and age. The Z score should be used for the diagnosis of osteoporosis in premenopausal women and men under 50 years of age. According to the World Health Organization's definition of bone mineral density:
| January 2021-January 2024 |
| MORES | The Male Osteoporosis Risk Prediction Score uses age, weight, and history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to classify the risk of osteoporosis in men aged 50 and older. Values of 6 or higher are the threshold for screening. | January 2021-January 2024 |
| OST | The Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool (OSA) screening program is used to improve osteoporosis screening in patients. The main tool of this screening program is the OS, a risk formula based on age and weight. OS has proven to be a reliable screening tool for osteoporosis in both female and male populations. The OS score is calculated using the formula: OST Score = [Weight (kg) - Age] x 0.2. Osteoporosis risk:
| January 2021-January 2024 |
