Abstract

Objective To investigate the bone mineral density (BMD) in part of the population in Qingdao and provide the basis for prevention,diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis.Methods The BMDs of 1206 inhabitants of different age group in Qingdao were measured using dual X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA).Results The peak BMDs in men and women in Qingdao lie both in the age group of 25～30.The bone loss rate and prevalence of osteoporosis increased after 50 years old in women and 60 in men.Conclusions The prevalence of osteoporosis increases with age,especially after 50 years old in women and 60 years old in men.Earlier prevention is important for osteoporosis.
