绝经妇女肌力改变对骨量的影响

Effects of muscle strength of postmenopausal women on her bone mineral density

流行病学显示骨质疏松症是老年人常见的疾患其可导致骨折,使患者骨折后,生活质量明显下降。由于女性期望寿命长于男性,老年妇女发生慢性疾病如肌力异常和骨质疏松症增加,该文对高风险人群绝经妇女肌力改变对骨量影响进行分析,认为肌力衰变是绝经妇女骨质疏松的重要影响因素,通过改善肌力,可能是积极预防、治疗绝经妇女骨质疏松或骨质疏松症的较好策略。

Epidemiological study showed that osteoporosis is a common disease of the senile. Fracture is a final consequence of osteoporosis. When fracture occurs, the life quality of the patient would descend greatly. Because the life expectancy of the female is longer than the male, senile women have higher rate of chronic disease, such as sarcopenia and osteoporosis. In this article, we investigated effects of change in strength on bone mineral density of high-risk population and considered that sarcopenia is one of the most important influential factors of osteoporosis for menopausal women, and increasing muscle strength may prevent or treat osteoporosis of those posmenopausal women.
