Slight religiosity associated with a lower incidence of any fracture among healthy people in a multireligious country
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the degree of religiosity and subsequent fractures and a decrease in bone mineral density in a Japanese population. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective longitudinal study at St. Luke’s International Hospital in Tokyo, Japan,...

description | BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the degree of religiosity and subsequent fractures and a decrease in bone mineral density in a Japanese population. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective longitudinal study at St. Luke’s International Hospital in Tokyo, Japan, from 2005 to 2018. All participants who underwent voluntary health check-ups were included. Our outcomes were any fractures and the change in T-score from baseline to each visit. We compared these outcomes by the self-reported degree of religiosity (not at all; slightly; somewhat; very) and adjusted for potential confounders. RESULTS: A total of 65,898 participants were included in our study. Their mean age was 46.2(SD:12.2) years, and 33,014(50.1%) were male. During a median follow-up of 2,500 days (interquartile range (IQR):987–3,970), 2,753(4.2%) experienced fractures, and their mean delta T-score was -0.03%(SD:18.3). In multivariable longitudinal analyses, the slightly religious group had a statistically lower adjusted odds ratio (AOR) for a fracture than the nonreligious group(AOR:0.81,95% confidence interval(CI):0.71 to 0.92). CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated that slightly religious people, but not somewhat or very religious people, had a lower incidence of fracture than nonreligious individuals, although the T-scores were similar regardless of the degree of religiosity.
