Abstract

Objective To analyze the changing rule of bone mass density(BMD) and the relationship between BMD with age,sex and body weight index(BMI).Methods 142 healthy middle-aged and elderly people who came to our hospital for physical examines from Jan.2006 to Jan.2007 were studied.The BMD was measured with digitization X bone density meter(MetriScan).The relationships of BMD with age,sex and BMI(body mass index) were analyzed.Results The BMD reduced rate was positively correlated with the age,remarkably in the pre-elderly and the elderly people(P0.05).The BMD reduced rate was negatively correlated with BMI(P0.01).Conclusion The reduction of BMD for the elderly is connecting not only with age and sex,but also with BMI.Middle-aged and elderly people should take healthy life style to prevent and delay the occurrence of osteoporosis.
