绝经后妇女腰椎骨密度测量及其临床意义

Clinical value of measuring lumbra vertebra bone mass density in postmenopausal women

目的 探讨绝经后妇女腰椎骨量的变化规律 ,找寻低骨量的危险因素。方法 记录 2 0 9例绝经后妇女的年龄、绝经年龄、绝经年限 ,测量体重和身高 ,采用Hologic双能X线骨密度测量仪检测腰椎正侧位的骨密度。结果 绝经后妇女年龄越大、绝经越早、绝经年限越长、体重指数越小 ,骨密度越低。结论 绝经和低体重是绝经后骨质疏松症的危险因素 ,应加强对绝经后妇女尤其是早绝经和低体重的中老年妇女进行骨密度的监测。

Objective To study the change of lumbra vertebra bone mass density and its risk factor in postmenopausal women.Methods The age of menopause, duration of menopause, weight and height were recorded. Lumbra vertebra bone mass density was measured by Hologic dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results Lower bone mass density was associated with older age, longer duration of menopause, earlier menopause and lower body mass index. Conclusion Menopause and low body weight are risk factors of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Monitoring bone mass density is necessary for postmenopausal women, especially for those with early menopause and low body weight.
