Objective: To demonstrate the relationship between anemia and complete blood count (CBC) parameters with bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional chart-review study was conducted between November 2017 and June 2019. Three hundred twenty-four postmenopausal women aged 50 years or older who had BMD and CBC results were included in the present study. Results: The prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis diagnosed by T-score were 53.1% and 32.7%, respectively. Simple and multiple linear regression analyses showed that no association between CBC parameter with BMD except basophil count, which was negatively associated with BMD (p=0.011). There was no correlation between anemia and BMD status (p=0.168). Conclusion: CBC parameters such as hemoglobin or white blood cell count were not statistically correlated with BMD. This is the first study demonstrating that basophil count may be an associated factor for deceased BMD. Keywords: Postmenopausal women, Bone mineral density, Complete blood count, Basophil

Osteopenia is regarded as a bone condition whereby its is observed that the Bone Mineral Density (BMD) is less than that of the mean value. however, it is not as low as Osteoporosis. Unfortunately Pakistan has become one of those countries which encounter the issues of Osteoporosis and Osteopenia among women which may or may not be influenced by dietary factors. Objectives: The objective of this study was to find the frequency of osteopenia among females and its relationship with dietary factors. Methods: It was an analytical and cross-sectional study. the research was carried out at Niaz Medicure Clinic in Faisalabad. The study was completed in 9 months from 18 October 2019 to 18 July 2020. Selection of the participants was based on Non probability purposive sampling. 323 females were taken for the study. The Bone Mineral Density was measured using Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS) machine. The factor dietary habits was taken into account for the study. Results: The results showed that about 56% of the females had Osteopenia. However, Dietary factors didn’t seem to influence BMD levels in this study (p<0.05). Conclusion: There was no association found between Osteopenia and Dietary factors including milk intake (p =0.603) and junk food (0.159).

ObjectiveRecent evidence suggests that adiponectin may play a role in bone metabolism. Previous studies demonstrated that the adiponectin levels had a negative correlation with bone mineral density (BMD) in women. However, little is known about the relationship between adiponectin and BMD in men. The aim of this study was to determinate the relationship between the adiponectin levels and BMD in elderly men.DesignCross-sectional study including 92 healthy men aged 60–80 years.MethodsMain outcome measures were the adiponectin levels estimated by RIA and BMD at lumbar spine and femoral neck using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.ResultsThe negative correlation between adiponectin and BMD at the spine was r=−0.209, (P<0.05) and at the femoral neck was r=−0.237, (P<0.001). These correlations disappeared after adjustment for body mass index (BMI). When stratified by BMI, the relationship between BMD and adiponectin remained significant in the subgroup of participants with BMI >27 kg/m2, but disappeared in men with BMI ≤27 kg/m2. In multiple regression analysis, adiponectin was a significant determinant of BMD at the spine, not at the femoral neck, in those with BMI >27.ConclusionBMD is negatively associated with the adiponectin levels in men older than 60 years and this relationship is greater in those men with BMI >27, which suggests a plausible connection between bone and fat tissue.
