Bone mineral density-related factors of adult health checkup receivers / 中华健康管理学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate bone mineral density-related factors to decrease the prevalence of osteoporosis. Methods This croas-sectional survey enrolled 46 219 adults less than 60 years old. Anthropometry, blood pressure, serum lipid, glucose, electrolytes, uric acid and homocysteine were detected. Bone mineral density (BMD) of distal forearm was measured by using peripheral dual energy-ray detector (MestriscanTM). Our data were analyzed by Pearson's correlation analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results All BMD-related factors except age showed significant difference between male and female. BMD of female subjects was lower than that of male participants (0.50±0. 15 vs 0. 54 ±0. 15,t = 22. 38 ,P < 0. 05 ). The prevalence of osteoporosis in female was higher ( 29. 51% vs 26. 48%, χ2 =47.90,P <0. 05). BMD increased with age before 40-year old, and then decreased more rapidly in female after 50-year old. Conclusion BMD of male is higher. Cigarette smoking, waist-hip ratio, systolic blood pressure, serum sodium, total cholesterol, and ALP were negatively correlated with BMD.
