Purpose: This study was measured to the bone mineral density(BMD) and biochemical bone markers in young women in order to identify the relationship between bone mineral density and biochemical bone markers. Methods: Forty two healthy young women were enrolled. BMD were checked Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry and biochemical bone markers were checked ELSA-OSTEO(CIS bio international. France) analyzed kit, Pyrilinks-D(Metra Biosystems Inc., U.S.A)analyzed kit. Data were analyzed with frequencies, percentages, means, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: 1) Young women forearm(radius & ulnar) BMD was O.55g/cm², lumbar (1~4) BMD was O.92g/cm², neck of femur BMD was O.75g/cm², trochanter of femur BMD was O.61g/cm², ward´s triangle of femur BMD was O.68g/cm². In biochemical bone marker, Osteocalcin was 21.94ng/ml. Deoxypyridinoline was 1l.94nmol/nmoICr. 2) There was no significant correlation between BMD and biochemical bone markers. Conclusion: Results not indicated association between bone mineral density and biochemical markers. As seen in the small sample, future research on BMD and biochemical markers need to studies to the large sample.
