Aim: To determine the prevalence of osteoporosis in Smokers Materials and Methods: The current research was undertaken to evaluate the prevalence of osteoporosis among individuals who smoke. Included in the study were 200 individuals who had a smoking history of at least 10 cigarettes per day for a minimum of 5 years. In addition, a cohort of 200 individuals who were non-smokers served as normal controls. Comprehensive demographic and clinical information of all the patients was acquired. A comprehensive medical and personal history of all the individuals was also documented. A comprehensive clinical and oral examination was conducted on all the participants. The occurrence of osteoporosis was also recorded. Results: The average age of patients in the smoking group was 47.85±2.85 years, whereas in the control group it was 48.96±2.88 years. The prevalence of osteoporosis was 30 percent among smokers and 5 percent among non-smokers. Smokers have a much greater prevalence of osteoporosis compared to non-smokers. Among the patients in the smoking group, 50 percent of those with osteoporosis were between the ages of 45-55, while 25 percent were between the ages of 35-45. Among the non-smokers, 40 percent of the patients with osteoporosis were between the ages of 45-55, while 30 percent were between the ages of 35-45. Among the patients with osteoporosis, 71.67 percent of the smokers and 60 percent of the non-smokers were females. Conclusion: Based on the findings of the current investigation, the scientists have determined that smoking is a notable risk factor for osteoporosis.
