    Los factores de riesgo de OP son las variables, estados o condiciones que confieren un riesgo incrementado para su desarrollo. Los objetivos de este trabajo son analizar la influencia de los factores de riesgo clínico y de la edad en la prevalencia de OP en los pacientes que acuden a la consulta de rehabilitación y que presentan dos o más factores de riesgo clínico de baja densidad mineral ósea. Efectuamos un estudio transversal de 108 pacientes, mujeres, en las que se cuantificó la densidad mineral ósea mediante densitometría. Comparamos la prevalencia de osteoporosis en nuestra muestra con la prevalencia en la población femenina española, por grupos de edad. Como resultado obtuvimos una prevalencia de OP en las pacientes de nuestro estudio superior a la de la población femenina española. La prevalencia de OP aumenta con la edad, y es en el estrato de 50 a 59 años en el que mayor razón de prevalencias encontramos con respecto a la población general. El uso de los factores de riesgo clínico de OP en la consulta de rehabilitación es útil para el manejo de la OP. The risk factors of osteoporosis are variable and are states or conditions that confer an increased risk for the development of osteoporosis. This study aims to analyze the influence of the clinical risk factors in osteoporosis and age of the osteoporosis prevalence in patients who come to our clinic with two or more clinical risk factors of low bone mineral density. We are conducting a cross-sectional study of 108 female patients in whom bone mineral density was quantified by densitometry. We compare the prevalence of osteoporosis in our sample with the prevalence of the Spanish female population by age group. As a result we obtained a prevalence of osteoporosis in the patients of our study greater than the prevalence in the Spanish female population. Osteoporosis prevalence increases with age, the peak being among the 50-59 age group where the greatest prevalence ratio is found in regards to the general population. The use of osteoporosis clinical risk factors in the rehabilitation clinic is useful for its therapeutical management.
