A survey of bone mineral density in 9 158 urban residents in Chongqing / 实用医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study retrospectively the changes of bone mineral density,the prevalence of osteopenia/osteoporosis and risk factors in urban residents in Chongqing.Methods The data of radial bone mineral density of 9,158 healthy Han people (4 577 males and 4 581 females) who received health examination in the Health Management Center of Southwest China University were collected,from September 2012 to December 2016.Osteoporosis was judged according to T-value and the detection rate,BMI and OSTA indexes were calculated respectively.Results The total detection rate of osteoporosis in this group was 15.6％ (9.5％ in males and 21.6％in females,respectively).Among all the vocational groups,the detection rate of osteoporosis of teachers was the highest,while that of workers was the lowest.The detection rate of osteoporosis in the fcmales was higher than those in male,which in the emaciation group was much higher than those in the overweight/obesity group,among all the BMI status.The male over 70 years and female over 50 years belonged to the intermediate-risk group,which were also the focus for osteoporosis prevention and treatment.Conclusions The detection rate of osteoporosis in the urban residents in Chongqing is higher than those in other regions of China.Hence,Chongqing has a high-prevalence area of osteoporosis.Meanwhile,risk assessment using indexes such as vocation,BMI and OSTA and systematic intervention of osteopenia/osteoporosis for the urban residents are critical for the prevention and control of osteoporosis incidences.
