dc.description.abstractObjective Left-handedness was reported to be associated with lower bone mineral density in a recent study and also to be a risk factor for accident-related injuries, head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, sport-related injuries and bone breaks and fractures. Therefore, the bone mineral densities of 17 left-handed patients with osteoporosis were compared to those of 141 right-handed ones in 14 males and 144 females. Methods Hand preference was assessed using the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory. To measure the bone mineral density, a Hologic QDR-4500W (S/N 48403) densitometer was used. Multivariate analysis of variance was used for the statistical evaluation. Results The bone mineral densities were higher in the right-handed patients with osteoporosis than in the left-handed ones. Conclusions These results support the claim that the left-handed patients with osteoporosis had higher bone damage risk in traumas and accidents. © 2013 Elsevier GmbH. © 2014 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
