The relationship between body mass index and physical activity levels in relation to bone mineral density in premenopausal and postmenopausal women

Abstract Summary The aim of the study was to assess the associations of bone mineral density and bone mass with physical activity levels, vitamin D, phosphorus, magnesium, total cholesterol and triglyceride concentration and body composition in young women and men. Physical activity has the most significant effect on bone status especially in men. Purpose The aim of the study was to assess the associations of bone mineral density and bone mass with physical activity levels, vitamin D, phosphorus, magnesium, total cholesterol and triglyceride concentration and body composition in young women and men. Methods One hundred subjects aged 19–24 years were included. Bone mineral density (BMD) in distal and proximal parts was evaluated by forearm densitometry. Body composition was analysed with the use of JAWON-Medical-x-scan. The following biochemical indicators were analysed: 25(OH) D and 1,25(OH)2D, magnesium, phosphorus, total cholesterol and triglycerides. Physical activity levels were assessed by interview. Results Significant correlations between BMD and physical activity, skeletal muscle mass and body fat percentage were revealed in men. Among women, considerably weaker correlations of BMD with body composition and physical activity were noted than in men. BMD in the distal part correlated only with lean body mass, soft lean mass and body fat percentage. The strongest relationship between physical activity and bone mineral status parameters was noted for BMD in men. In women, physical activity did not affect BMD. Conclusions Physical activity has the most significant effect on bone status especially in men.

Menopause is commonly associated with rapid bone loss and this bone loss manifests as a significant decrease in bone mineral density (BMD). Body weight or body mass index is the most important factor which influences BMD. Aim of this study was to evaluate the association between BMI and BMD in post menopausal women. Also to measure the correlation between age, duration of menopause, weight with BMD. This cross-sectional study was undertaken in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka from January, 2012 to December, 2012. The study included women of 50 to 70 years who had menopause with three or more parity. Total 100 women were evaluated by history taking, physical examination and laboratory investigation (BMD).The results showed that there was significant positive correlation between BMI and BMD value of L1-4 and total femur (Pearson‘s coefficient was +0.285, P<0.01 and +.350, P<.001). There was also significant positive correlation between weight and T- score of L1-4 (r =+ .482, P<.01) and Total femur (r = +.513, P< .01). In addition, significant negative correlation was found between BMD with age and duration of menopause. It can be concluded that in postmenopausal women as the BMI decreases bone mineral density also decreases. So, adequate weight and BMI necessary for the prevention of osteoporosis.

Risk factors for the prediction of osteoporosis are an important and cost effective method since osteoporosis is a silent disease. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the associations between weight, body mass index (BMI), the Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool (OST), and bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women in India. In this cross sectional study, 90 postmenopausal women aged 45–85 years who had given consent participated and the study was conducted between April, 2012 and May, 2013. BMD was measured by ultrasound bone densitometry at calcaneal site. Linear regression multivariate models were used to examine the associations with weight, BMI, OST, and BMD. Body weight, BMI, and OST had almost similar overall performance in their ability to classify women with BMD T-score ≤−2.5. Regression results showed that the linear combination of three independent variables BMI, OST and body weight. BMI predicted 65.7% of the variance in BMD, R2 = .657, R2 adjusted = .609, (F=21.295, p<.000). The strongest predictor of low BMD was BMI. BMI showed significant association with BMD with a correlation of .846. Low weight and BMI predict osteoporosis and are associated with increased risks in postmenopausal women. The negative impact of low body weight on bone health should be more widely recognized.
