[Correlations between bone mass density and osteoporosis risk factors in postmenopausal women]. 2009

S V Bulgakova, and I L Davydkin

OBJECTIVE To analyse correlations between bone tissue mineral density (BMD) and risk factors of osteoporosis. METHODS Correlation between bone mass density measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptionmetry (DEXA) and risk factors (RF) of osteoporosis (fractures in relatives, early menopause, fractures in patients, low weight and low food calcium consumption) was studied in 1115 postmenopausal women (mean age 64.24 +/- 3.92). RESULTS A decrease of BMD with age, even without RF leads to osteopenia at the age over 70 years. The presence of almost all RF (except low calcium consumption) often combines with osteopenia, two RF--fractures in the patients, low weight--are associated with osteoporosis. CONCLUSIONS The above correlation helps make decisions on treatment policy in outpatients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008594 Menopause, Premature The premature cessation of menses (MENSTRUATION) when the last menstrual period occurs in a woman under the age of 40. It is due to the depletion of OVARIAN FOLLICLES. Premature MENOPAUSE can be caused by diseases; OVARIECTOMY; RADIATION; chemicals; and chromosomal abnormalities. Premature Menopause
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D015502 Absorptiometry, Photon A noninvasive method for assessing BODY COMPOSITION. It is based on the differential absorption of X-RAYS (or GAMMA RAYS) by different tissues such as bone, fat and other soft tissues. The source of (X-ray or gamma-ray) photon beam is generated either from radioisotopes such as GADOLINIUM 153, IODINE 125, or Americanium 241 which emit GAMMA RAYS in the appropriate range; or from an X-ray tube which produces X-RAYS in the desired range. It is primarily used for quantitating BONE MINERAL CONTENT, especially for the diagnosis of OSTEOPOROSIS, and also in measuring BONE MINERALIZATION.

D015519 Bone Density The amount of mineral per square centimeter of BONE. This is the definition used in clinical practice. Actual bone density would be expressed in grams per milliliter. It is most frequently measured by X-RAY ABSORPTIOMETRY or TOMOGRAPHY, X RAY COMPUTED. Bone density is an important predictor for OSTEOPOROSIS.

D015663 Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal Metabolic disorder associated with fractures of the femoral neck, vertebrae, and distal forearm. It occurs commonly in women within 15-20 years after menopause, and is caused by factors associated with menopause including estrogen deficiency.
