ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES:

This study investigated the correlation between bone mineral density (BMD)/trabecular bone score (TBS) and body mass index (BMI), height and weight in Korean adults.

METHODS:

We enrolled 2555 female participants in their 20s–80s and 1631 male participants in their 20s–70s. Participants with history of previous vertebral surgeries or current vertebral diseases were excluded. Female and male participants were divided into osteoporosis group (n = 136 and n = 31, respectively), osteopenia group (n = 822 and n = 460, respectively), and normal group (n = 1596 and n = 1140, respectively) based on their BMD T-score. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry image analysis and linear regression analysis were conducted on each participant in each group to determine the P-value and the correlation between BMD T-score/TBS T-score and BMI, weight, and height.

RESULTS:

We found a significant correlation between BMI and TBS in both male and female participants. In the male participants, the correlation coefficient increased progressively from the normal group to the osteoporosis group. In the female group, we observed a significant positive correlation between height and TBS, and in the male group a significant negative correlation between weight and TBS was observed.

CONCLUSIONS:

BMI and weight are closely correlated to body fat content. BMD was positively correlated to BMI and weight, while TBS was negatively correlated to BMI and weight. Therefore, although BMI causes an increase in BMD, it appears to be negatively affecting bone quality.
