Abstract

Objective:Analysing bone mineral density(BMD)of spongy bone in L 1 ～L 4 vertebral body and the correlation between osteoporosis and the ratio of cortical bone BMD to spongy bone BMD (C?S).Materials and Methods :The BMD in L 1 ～L 4 vertebral body was measured by QCT(quantitive computed tomography)in554subjects aged20～80(231males,323females).SPSS software were used for analysis.Results:There was no significant difference in BMD of spongy bone between different vertebrae(L 1 ～L 4 )for the females and males(P0.05).The BMD of spongy bone in lumbar spine has marked linear correlation with C?S.Conclusions :There was no significant difference in BMD of spongy bone between different vertebrae(L 1 ～L 4 )for the females and males(P0.05).The increasing ratio of cortical to spongy bone(C?S)suggested the presence of osteo-porosis and the degree of degeneration of lumbar spine due to aging.
