Abstract
Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the prevalence of osteoporosis in patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and to determine the associated factors.
Materials and methods: We conducted a case-control study, between January 2019 and April 2019, including patients with MGUS and age- and sex-matched healthy controls (one patient/three controls). For all participants, demographic and clinical data were collected as results of bone mineral density by two-photon X-ray absorptiometry at the lumbar spine and femoral neck.
Results: In our series, we included 120 participants: 30 patients with MGUS and 90 healthy controls. In the MGUS carrier group, the mean age was 66.26 ± 8.61 years. The mean monoclonal peak was 11.57 g/L. Densitometric osteoporosis was noted in 12 (40%) patients with MGUS versus 17 (18.9%) in the control group (P = 0.021). In addition, only one patient with MGUS had a vertebral fracture. On multivariate analysis, associated factors with osteoporosis in the MGUS group were age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.14; confidence interval [CI] [1.03-1.26]; P < 0.05) and previous fracture (OR = 3.03; CI [1.22-15.06]; P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Our study suggests an increased risk of osteoporosis in patients with MGUS.

The Annals of African Medicine is published by the Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto, Nigeria and the Annals of African Medicine Society. The Journal is intended to serve as a medium for the publication of research findings in the broad field of Medicine in Africa and other developing countries, and elsewhere which have relevance to Africa. It will serve as a source of information on the state of the art of Medicine in Africa, for continuing education for doctors in Africa and other developing countries, and also for the publication of meetings and conferences. The journal will publish articles I any field of Medicine and other fields which have relevance or implications for Medicine.
