  • The relationships between nutrients intake, physical activity and bone mineral density were investigated in 19 elderly men aged 71-80 years. A trained nutritionist interviewed usual dietary intake and daily activity with a questionnaire, and bone mineral density was measured at the lumbar spine and three regions of the proximal femur (femur neck, Ward's triangle and trochanter) with a Luna DP3 dual photon absorptiometry. The correlations between dietary calcium intake and bone mineral density at the lumbar spine and trochanteric region were significant at P<0.05 and P<0.01 level respectively. the significant correlations were also found between vitamin A(P<0.005), riboflavin(P<0.01), and ascorbic acid(P<0.05) intake and bone mineral density at these sites. Higher physical activity was associated with greater bone mineral density of four sites, but this was not significant. But there were significant relationships between total energy expenditure and bone mineral density of the lumbar spine(P<0.01), femur neck (P<0.05) and Ward's triangle(P<0.05). In this study the results revealed that bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and trochanteric region were associated with dietary calcium intake. And bone mineral density of the femur neck and Ward's triangle were related to physical activity but not to nutrients intake. In conclusion, dietary calcium intake seems to be a important factor for greater bone mineral density. Further evidence will be needed that physical activity protects against bone fracture and osteoporosis in the edlerly.

  • There were some controversies about direct cause of hip fracture. We attempted to look at 40 osteoporotic proximal femur fractures in women over 50 years between March in 1999 and Febuary in 2000. The bone density of the fracture group and the healthy 85 control group was measured by Dual Energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA). The result was compared using age matched paired T test. The results were as follows ; 1. The femoral neck fractures were 14 cases and the trochanteric fractures were 26 cases. Mean age at a fracture was 67.1 years in neck fracture group and 76.5 years in trochanteric fracture. 2. In the control group, the bone density of both side of the proximal femur was measured and it showed statistically no difference between both sides in same person. 3. The bone density of neck, Ward's triangle, trochanter(P<0.05) and lumbar spine(P<0.001) was significantly reduced in the proximal femoral fracture group comparing with the control group. 4. The bone density of neck, Ward's triangle, trochanter(P<0.05) was significantly reduced in the proximal femoral neck fracture group comparing with the control group, but there was no statistical difference in lumbar spine comparing with the control group. 5. The bone density of neck, Ward's triangle, trochanter and lumbar spine(P<0.001) was significantly reduced in the proximal femoral neck fracture group comparing with the control group. We concluded that the bone mineral densities(BMD) of proximal femur and lumbar spine had decreased in hip fractures but that the bone mineral density and T-score % of the proximal femur were statistically lower than that of the lumbar spine. We suggest that measuring the bone mineral density of the proximal femur may reflect the weakness of the proximal femur more precisely than measuring the bone mineral density of the lumbar spine.

  • To evaluate the applicability of osteoporosis management by statistical analysis of the correlation between bone mineral density (BMD) changes after menopause by dividing the T-score of bone mineral density measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry do. Between January 1, 2016 and July 31, 2017, women who visited the medical center of W Medical Center were enrolled in this study. The postmenopausal period was divided into 5 groups, There were 18 patients within 5 years, 44 patients in 6~10 years, 134 patients in 11~15 years, 109 patients in 16~20 years and 21 patients in 21 years or older. And postmenopausal women. Bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine and femur was measured using a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. The lowest value among lumbar spine 1, 2, 3 and 4 and the lowest value among the femoral neck, greater trochanter, total femur, and ward Values were measured. The statistical significance was analyzed by using bivariate correlation coefficient method and one - way ANOVA. In 326 patients who underwent BMD, the correlation between bone mineral density and postmenopausal BMD showed a negative correlation (-.159, p<.01) with BMD of femur and BMD of lumbar spine The correlation between the menopausal period and negative (-.208, p<.01) was shown. There was a significant difference (p<.012) between the postmenopausal femur bone density and the mean value of the lumbar spine BMD (p<.000). The relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and postmenopausal women's postmenopausal status can be estimated by estimating the bone mineral density and using it as a basic data for osteoporosis management.

  • In children with cerebral palsy, bone density is decreased by disturbance of bone remodelling due to lack of normal weight bearing and muscle contraction through physical activity. Loss of bone density cause fracture, delays treatment with immobilization, and leads to functional limitation. The purpose of this study was to investigate bone mineral density of lumbar spine in children with spastic quadriplegia and diplegia. Six spastic quadriplegia and 14 spastic diplegia were evaluated in this study. QDR 4500 X-ray densitometer was used to measure bone density at lumbar spine (L1~L4). Children with cerebral palsy showed lower bone density than that of normal children. Bone density in children with spastic quadriplegia and diplegia was $-1.812{\pm}.962$, $-1.519{\pm}.935$, respectively. However, there was no significant differences in bone density between children with spastic quadriplegia and diplegia. There was no significant difference in bone density relation to motor development level, height, and weight. Further study is needed to find the appropriate interventions for preventing loss of bone density in children with cerebral palsy.

  • Osteoporosis is a disease that increases the risk of fracture. In this study, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to compare bone density according to the lumbar spine rotation and inclination. The results of the showed that the bone density decreases with the rotation of the lumbar spine, but the result was not predicted in the inclination of the lumbar spine. This is due to the change of the inclusion of lumbar spine in the area of the bone and the bone density due to the overlap between the lumbar spine 1 and 4. In other words, the Radiogical technologists needs to make efforts to prevent the rotation of lumbar spine and the overlap according to the inclusion to obtain the accurate bone density results.

  • Recent studies suggest a possible pathogenic linkage between the osteoporosis and atherosclerosis. We investigated the relationship between cardiovascular risk factors, including high sensitivity C-reactive (hs-CRP), hs-CRP and bone metabolism in females. Anthropometric measurements were performed on 300 women, and cardiovascular risk factors, including fasting blood glucose, lipid profiles and hs-CRP. An atherogenic index was calculated using the serum total cholesterol level divided by the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level. The lumbar spine bone mineral density was measured using dual X-ray abosorptiometry. By bivariate analysis, the lumbar spine BMD showed negative correlations with age, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, serum total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The Age, BMI and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol showed significant correlations with the lumbar spine BMD. From linear regression analyses of all the study subjects, age, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were found to be determinants of the lumbar spine BMD($R^2=0.272$).
