|
|
Purpose: To evaluate the association of sasang constitution with bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal Korean women.
Methods: Sasang constitution was analyzed by Phonetic System for Sasang Constitution in 92 postmenopausal Korean. The BMD was checked using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometer(DEXA) at lumbar spine, femur neck.
Results: Bone mineral density of lumbar spine(T-score) according to Sasang constitution was Taeumin(-1.12±1.26), Soyangin(-1.30±1.06), Soeumin(-1.51±1.21). Bone mineral density of femur neck(T-score) according to Sasang constitution was Taeumin(-0.76±1.07), Soyangin(-0.92±0.81), Soeumin(-0.84±0.86).
Conclusion: There was significant relationship between sasang constitution and BMD of femur neck. There was no significant relationship between sasang constitution and BMD of lumbar spine.
