Abstract

Objective To find the difference between bone mineral density (BMD) and femoral neck strength (FS) in osteoporosis diagnosis.Methods 118 postmenopausal women received the examination of Dual Energy X-ray Absorption Densitometry (DEXA) and Muscle Evaluative System (MES) .Results The prevalence of osteoporosis by DEXA's BMD T-score in the subjects is 40.67% , but the prevalence by MES's FS is 20.34% . Conclusion Femoral neck strength (FS) analysis introduced in the diagnosis of osteoporosis can avoid missed di-agnosis and false alarm by simple BMD evaluation.
