一项新的研究结果显示,老年妇女使用抗癫痫药(AED)有可能增加髋骨和跟骨的骨质丢失率。在为期5年的研究期间内,持续使用这类药物的髋骨骨折危险性估计增加29%。美国明尼阿波利斯 VA 医疗中心的 Kristine E.Ensrud 博士对此解释说,先前的一些横向研究认为 AED 的使用与骨质密度较低 A new study shows that the use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in older women is likely to increase the rate of bone loss in the hip and calcaneus. The risk of hip fracture with continued use of these drugs is estimated to increase by 29% during the five-year study period. Kristine E. Ensrud, MD, of the Minneapolis VA Medical Center in the United States, explains that some previous horizontal studies concluded that AED use was associated with lower bone density
