Introduction. Osteoporosis is a metabolic skeletal disease characterized by bone mineral density reduction, which may lead to an increased risk of bone fractures. Obesity is a condition of excessive body fat that causes or aggravates many public health problems. As it is easy to be measured, body mass index is widely used as an index of the degree of obesity. Material and Methods. The study included 1.372 female orthopedic patients between the ages of 30 to 79 years who visited the Clinical Centre of Vojvodina in Novi Sad to have a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) examination in the period from March, 2010 to June, 2013. The following anthropometric data were collected: body mass index, body weight, height, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry T-score and bone mineral density (BMD), as well as some other data. Results. The mean age was 62.08 years, the mean weight was 73.59 kg and the mean height was 1.6 m. There were 392 participants in the group of normal body mass index, 14 participants were underweight, and 966 were overweight and obese. In the overweight and obese group, 25.25% participants had osteoporosis, 35.4% had osteopenia and 39.33% had the normal T-score. In the normal body mass index group, 42.34% of the participants had osteoporosis, 29.3% had osteopenia and 28.31 had the normal T-score. In the underweight group, 57.14% of the participants had osteoporosis, 21.42% had osteopenia and 21.42% had the normal T-score. Conclusion. No strong correlation between body mass index and bone mineral density was found in our study, but it is obvious that there was a stronger correlation between body mass index and bone mineral density of the total hip than between body mass index and bone mineral density of the lumbar spine.

Dexa Scan

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a good indicator for measurements of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) which measures the density of minerals present in the bones using a special scan. This study was conducted to assess the association between BMI and status of BMD among 101 individuals who underwent Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. 39 subjects had normal and 62 had low bone mineral density. BMD was low in 82.4% of people with normal BMI, 78.1% among overweight, and 44.2% among obese. There was a statistically significant association between these two variables (). Low BMD was recorded in 59.1% of females and 76.9% of males. Association between advancing age and lower BMI is an important risk factor in the occurrence of low BMD.

Background: Bone mineral density (BMD) measurement is one of the method for making osteoporosis diagnosis. World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the measurement of BMD conducted at antero-posterior lumbar vertebrae, unilateral hip (femur), and radius. However, there was a concern about osteoporosis under diagnosis if the measurement is only conducted at unilateral hip. Some studies found significant differences of BMD between both femur and evidence of the importance to examine both femur in making the diagnosis of osteoporosis. This study aims to determine anydifference between right and left femur BMD measurement and to investigate the bone status result with measurement of BMD of bilateral femur in Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from June to November 2015. Patients who received dual-femur BMD testing using General Electrics (GE) Lunar Prodigy dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry at the DXA Facility in Hasan Sadikin General Hospital,Bandung between January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2014 were included. Statistical analysis performed to assess the difference and the correlation between theBMD of two femurs (g/cm2). T-scores of the subject were implemented into bone status according to WHO Diagnostic Criteria for Osteoporosis.Results: From sixty-one patients included in this study, there were difference bone status resulted from BMD of the femoral neck, Ward’s triangle, trochanter, andtotal hip area between right and left femur, although no statistically significance were found. There was a positive correlation between BMD of right and left femurat all areas of femur. There were 16 subjects (26.1%) showed combination level of bone status (normal, osteopenia, or osteoporosis in one femur).Conclusion: BMD results in each area of the right and left femurs are different.Therefore, performing bilateral hip BMD examination as a routine measurement for makingdiagnosis of osteoporosis is important.Keywords: Bone Mineral Density, Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry, Femur, Osteoporosis

Objective.Although several studies have investigated the association between body mass index (BMI) and bone mineral density (BMD), the results are inconsistent. The aim of this study was to further investigate the relation between BMI, weight and BMD in an Iranian men population.Methods.A total of 230 men 50-79 years old were examined. All men underwent a standard BMD scans of hip (total hip, femoral neck, trochanter, and femoral shaft) and lumbar vertebrae (L2-L4) using a Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scan and examination of body size. Participants were categorised in two BMI group: normal weight <25.0 kg/m2and overweight and obese, BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2.Results.Compared to men with BMI ≥ 25, the age-adjusted odds ratio of osteopenia was 2.2 (95% CI 0.85, 5.93) and for osteoporosis was 4.4 (1.51, 12.87) for men with BMI < 25. It was noted that BMI and weight was associated with a high BMD, compatible with a diagnosis of osteoporosis.Conclusions.These data indicate that both BMI and weight are associated with BMD of hip and vertebrae and overweight and obesity decreased the risk for osteoporosis. The results of this study highlight the need for osteoporosis prevention strategies in elderly men as well as postmenopausal women.

With an aging population, osteoporosis is increasingly becoming a public health concern. Bangladesh has a high incidence of osteoporosis and occurs among a relatively younger age group than in the developed world. There are several factors that could be associated with bone mineral density (BMD). We are keen to determine the association with BMD and BMI. The study was carried out on 152 patients who were referred to INMAS for dual energy X- ray absorptiometry (DEXA) measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) during the periods of January 2018 to July 2019. BMD was measured at right femoral neck and lumbar spines. Data about age and sex, BMI were recorded. Reporting was done according to the T score following WHO criteria. Prevalence were compared using chi-squared tests. Among 152 patients, 84.9% were females and 15.1% were males. Results showed for right femur that normal bone density in 91 (59.1%), osteopenia in 54 (35.1%), osteoporosis in 9 (5.8%) and BMD in spine was normal in 57 (37.0%) osteopenia in 44 (28.6%), osteoporosis in 53 (34.4%). About 60% of the study population was normal weight and others were underweighted or overweighed. Status of BMD was associated with BMI in the lumbar spine and femur. In this study group, total 61.2% and 26.3%were found low BMD in spine and right femur respectively. In age group ≥ 60 years, low BMD in spinewas 72.0% that is 42.29% higher compare to below 60 years’ group (50.6%).Correlation of BMI with lumbar spine T score, right femur and left femur T score were measured by Pearson’s correlation coefficient test. Positive significant Pearson’s correlation was observedbetween BMI with spine T score (r = 0.397; p = <0.001), BMI with right femur T score (r = 0.347; p = <0.001) and BMI with left femur T score (r = 0.382; p = <0.001).

Background:Dual energy X-ray absoprtiometry is the reference method to mesure bone mineral density (1). Loss of bone mineral density is significant if it exceeds the least significant change. The threshold value used in general population is 0,03 g/cm2 (2). Patients with obesity are known for having a higher bone mineral density due to metabolism and physiopathology characteristics (3,4).Objectives:The aim of our study was to determine the least significant change in bone densitometry in patients with obesity.Methods:We conducted an interventionnal study in 120 patients with obesity who performed a bone densitometry. We measured twice the bone mineral density at the lumbar spine, the femoral neck and the total hip in the same time (5,6). We determined the least significant change in bone densitometry from each pair of measurements, using the Bland and Altman method. We also determined the least significant change in bone densitometry according to each stage of obesity.Results:The least significant change in bone densitometry in patients with obesity is 0,046g/cm2 at the lumbar spine, 0.069 g/cm2 at the femoral neck and 0.06 g/cm2 at the total hip.Conclusion:The least significant change in bone densitometry in patients with obesity is higher than in general population. These results may improve DXA interpretation in this specific population, and may personnalize their medical care.References:[1]Lees B, Stevenson JC.
