The promotion on skeletal health of perimenopausal and postmenopausal women using general health cultivation of TCM

目的:研究探讨中医综合养生干预对广州社区围绝经期、绝经后妇女骨骼健康的影响作用。方法:以广州2个代表社区470例围绝经期、绝经后妇女为研究对象,以东山区为治疗组,施以中医综合养生疗法为干预措施;以荔湾区为对照组,不加干预措施。1年后分析两组受试对象的跟骨骨密度及相关症状指标的变化,以评价干预效果。结果:干预组在运用中医综合养生干预后,跟骨骨密度显示较干预前提高,并能延缓腰背痛、项背痛、小腿抽筋、虚汗、情绪不稳等症状的进展,而对照组骨密度呈下降表现,各临床症状均显示自然衰退。结论:中医综合养生干预能提高围绝经期、绝经后妇女跟骨骨密度,并能延缓腰背痛、项背痛、小腿抽筋、虚汗、情绪不稳等症状的进展,与对照组比较,差异有统计学意义。
