Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate analysis of bone mineral density according to Women with low back pain women.
Methods: The data were collected from women who visited Physical Examination Center of a Catholic University hospital located in Daegu. Questionnaires were completed by 50 women during the period from July 20, 2000 to January 12, 2001. The sample was divided into three groups(the normal group of 16 cases and the osteopenia group of 12cases and the osteoporosis group of 22 cases). Bone mineral density(BMD) of lumbar spine was measured using energy absorptiometry.
Results: The bone mineral density of the lumbar spine decreased with aging. The bone mineral density of the lumbar spine decreased with the serum Calcium and Phosphorus and Alkaline phosphatase increased. The mean bone mineral density of the lumbar spine of healthy women in age(50∼59) was 0.87g/㎠, the lumbar spine of women with low back pain in age(50∼59) was 0.77g/㎠. In the multiple regression of risk factors to bone mineral density(BMD) oflumbar spine were correlated with age, marriage existence, exercise time, the loving food of taste, calcium, bone mineral density standard T scores(p＜0.05). The experience for LBP increased as weight increased(Odds ratio=999.000). The experience for LBP increased as number of Exercise decreased(Odds ratio=999.000). The experience for LBP increased as menopause existence increased(Odds ratio=999.000). The experience for LBP increased as serum Calcium and Phosphorus increased(Odds ratio=999.000). however all four variables had significant no relationship.
The correlation in variables in relation to low back pain and bone mineral density, age showed contra-correlation with low back pain existence. Alkaline phosphatase(p＜0.01). Weight showed contra-correlation with body mass index(BMI)(p＜0.01). Exercise time showed correlation with number of exercise(p＜0.01). The loving food of taste showed contra-correlation with Alkaline phosphatase(p＜0.05). Bone mineral density showed correlation with menopause existence(p＜0.05).
Conclusion: Results from this study indicated that a statistically significant association between bone mineral density of the lumbar spin and age, marriage existence, exercise time, the loving food of taste, calcium, bone mineral density standard T scores. In logistic regression test, there were no related variables. The combination of bone mineral density measurement and assessment of the bone turnover rate by measuring biochemical would be helpful for the treatment of patients with risks of osteoporosis. The more precise study for risk factors to osteoporosis is essential.
