Objective Systematically evaluate the efficacy of probiotics in treating osteoporosis. Methods Computer search of Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, VIP, CNT and Wanfang data knowledge service platform, the search time limit of August 15, 2023, included as a randomized controlled experiment of probiotics for the treatment of osteoporosis. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and evaluated the risk of bias in the included literature. The effects of probiotic treatment on BMD, blood calcium, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, osteocalcin, bone alkaline phosphatase and adverse reactions were analyzed by using Stata A. 14 and Revman. 5.4 software. Results Eight articles were finally included, Including 744 study subjects, The results of the Meta-analysis showed that, Add probiotics to traditional drug therapy, Can increase hip bone mineral density in patients[WMD 0.05 ( 0.01, 0.10) ] g/cm³, Increase the calcium ion concentration in the patient's blood [WMD 0.26 (0.02, 0.50) ]mmol/L mmol/L, Increase the concentration of blood osteocalcin [WMD 1.84 (0.60, 3.07) ] ng/mL, Lower the bone-specific alkaline phosphatase concentration [SMD-1.06 (-2.06, -0.07) ], And reduce the incidence of nausea and diarrhea, However, there was no significant change in vitamin D and parathyroid hormone. Conclusion The addition of probiotics on the basis of routine treatment may improve the level of bone mineral density and reduce the adverse reactions of gastrointestinal tract, which is beneficial to the prognosis of patients.

Background: Osteoporosis in the elderly has dangerous complications, the most important of which are bone fractures and reduced quality of life in the elderly. The present study was aimed at estimating the prevalence of osteoporosis in Iranian elderly using systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: This search was conducted using authentic Persian and English keywords in national and international databases including Scientific Information Database, Magiran, IranDoc, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Sciencewith no time limit until 20.06.2020. Heterogeneity of studies was assessed using I2 index. Data were analyzed using STATA Ver. 15 software. Results: In 30 studies with a sample size of 13,347 people, the prevalence of osteoporosis and low bone density in people over 60 years in Iran were 34% (95% CI: 27%, 42%) and 47% (95% CI: 41%, 53%), respectively. We also found that 34% of women and 41% of men over the age of 60 suffer from osteoporosis. Prevalence of osteoporosis was in lumbar bone 23% (95% CI: 20%, 26%), spine 25% (95% CI: 19%, 31%), hip 35% (95% CI: 7%, 62%), and femur 23% (95% CI: 15%, 31%). Prevalence of low bone density was in lumbar bone 41% (95% CI: 19%, 63%), spine 30% (95% CI: 15%, 46%), and femur 35% (95% CI: 21%, 48%). Conclusion: The prevalence of low bone density in people over 60 years is higher than the prevalence of osteoporosis in them. About one-third of Iranian elderly people suffer from osteoporosis, but about half of them have low bone density.
