: To assess activities in daily living and some related factors among older people with osteoporosis examined and treated at National Geriatric Hospital. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study on 141 older patients with osteoporosis examined and treated at National Geriatric Hospital from June to October 2022. Activities in daily living were assessed using Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Instrument Activities of Daily Living (IADL). General information, characteristics of osteoporosis, and geriatric syndromes were collected. Results: Of the total 141 participants, the proportion of participants with functional impairment in ADLs and IADLs was the same, accounting for 34.8%. There were significant associations between impaired ADL and group aged ≥ 80 with OR=4.5; BMI <18.5 (kg/m2) with OR=9.7; those who had diabetes with OR=2.9. There were significant associations between impaired ADL and geriatric syndromes: frailty syndromes (OR=20.8), low levels of physical activity (OR=10.8), cognitive impairment (OR=6.4), malnutrition (OR=4.5), risk of falls (OR=4.5), depression (OR=4.4), sleep disturbances (OR=2.9) and polypharmacy (OR=2.6). There was no statistically significant difference in the decline in daily functioning and some characteristics of osteoporosis. Conclusion: One in three elderly osteoporosis patients has impaired ADL or IADL. Our results highlighted that advanced age, BMI, diabetes, and geriatric syndrome were significantly associated with ADL in older patients with osteoporosis.
