BACKGROUND Menopause is defined as the permanent cessation of menstruation following loss of ovarian activity. One of the most important problems associated with menopause is osteoporosis. This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between bone mineral density, body mass index, age, serum calcium, and serum magnesium in 120 women. METHODS Present study was an observational study done from Feb 2017 to July 2017 in Pt. J.N.M. Medical College to evaluate the relationship of bone mineral density with age, body mass index (BMI), obesity and serum magnesium in 120 postmenopausal women. A detailed medical, obstetrical, menstrual, and drug history was recorded in a proforma designed for the study. Past fracture history, family history of fracture and osteoporosis, socioeconomic status, occupation, educational level and weightbearing exercises were collected and recorded. RESULTS Average age of women with normal bone health was 30.5 + 0.58 years, while the age of osteopenic and osteoporotic women was 43.11 + 6.79 years and 54.64 + 11.92 years respectively. Most of the osteopenic women belonged to the age group of 40 – 49 years. Osteoporotic patients (78.57 %) had a high (> 0.85) waist-hip ratio, while women with normal bone mineral density had a normal waist-hip ratio. Most of the women with normal bone mineral density (100 %), osteopenia (85.29 %) and osteoporosis (57.14 %) had normal serum magnesium levels. CONCLUSIONS We found that the bone mineral density reduced with advancing age, decreasing BMI and obesity, while we found no correlation of serum magnesium level with bone mineral density (BMD).

<strong>Background:</strong>Osteoporosis and Obesity are severe public health problems. Body weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) are considered strong predictors of osteoporotic fractures.<p><strong>Objectives:</strong> The interest of several studies has been focused on women, but there are only few studies worldwide focused on this issue in men. The objective is to focus towards evaluation of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in male population.</p><p><strong>Material and Methods:</strong> The study was conducted on 400 men up to the age of 80 years. Subjects having history of diseases or drugs that might influence BMD were excluded from the study. Height (m) and weight (kg) were measured and BMI was calculated. Calcaneus bone was scanned for QUS to measure BMD. The diagnosis of Osteoporosis and Osteopenia were done according to WHO T- score criteria. The whole data was collected and statistically analyzed using Correlation Coefficients and Pearson's Chi Square test.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> Pearson's correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between age and BMD and between age and BMI, and a positive correlation between BMI and BMD. Pearson's chi square analysis showed that BMI had a highly significant association with BMD whereas age had a highly significant association with BMD.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Although the results show significant relationship between BMI and BMD, the negative relationship of age with BMI and BMD may serve as a guidance to initiate early assessment of BMD as preventive measure of osteoporosis and fractures among ageing men population.No abstract</p>

Background: Osteoporosis is a common health problem that affects postmenopausal females, leading to increased susceptibility to fractures. Body mass index (BMI) has been shown to be an important predictor of bone mineral density (BMD) with increased body weight correlating with positive influence on bone metabolism. Low BMI predisposes postmenopausal females to rapid bone loss and low bone mass, crucial in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. However, a specific BMI value chart to accurately predict osteoporosis remains to be fully established. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship of BMI and BMD in postmenopausal Indian females.Methods: 90 healthy postmenopausal females with 1-5 years of menopause were enrolled in the study. Subjects were categorized according to their BMI into normal, overweight and obese. BMD was assessed using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan at L1-L4 vertebrae and femoral neck and expressed as T-scores. Quantitative variables were compared using ANOVA/Kruskal Wallis Test.Results: Bone mineral density was significantly higher in the obese group as compared to normal BMI group at both lumbar spine (p=0.001) and femoral neck (p=0.001). BMD at lumbar spine was lower than that at femoral neck across all the three groups of BMI.Conclusions: BMI and body weight are important factors affecting BMD. Postmenopausal females with low BMI are more likely to have osteopenia and osteoporosis and are thus at an increased risk of pathological fractures. Routine BMD monitoring in postmenopausal females with low BMI may be necessary to initiate early clinical interventions for osteoporosis.
