Abstract
|
|
|
We evaluate the bone mineral density of lumbar spine, femur neck, femur trochanter, Ward´s triangle, and distal radius of orthopaedic women patients over 50 years old who wanted to evaluate BMD, or who had soft tissue disease and trauma history such as tendon, ligament and skin injury(583 cases) to compair with normal korean women BMD, by using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA)
Results obtained were as follows :
1)The average incidence of the osteopenia is 22%, and of the osteoporosis is 71%.
2)The changes of the bone mineral density according to age demonstrate linear decrease in spine and hip, but shows cubic form in distal radius.
2)The changes of the bone mineral density according to height demonstrate linear increase in spine, hip, and distal radius regardless of age, but according to height of same age group, the correlation of bone mineral density of spine and height is only statistically significant.
3)The changes of the bone mineral density according to body weight demonstrate linear increase irrespective of the difference between sponge bone and compact bone.
4)There is statistically significant correlation of menopausal age and bone mineral density irrespective of the difference sponge bone and compact bone.
5)There is no statistically significant correlation of menarche and bone mineral density.
In conclusion, we should have more considerations of the bone mineral densities whose statures are short, and of the bone mineral densities of the patients of the department of orthcpaedics
