Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Investigation regarding bone mineral density (BMD) change rule and osteoporosis in many areas of China has been much reported. However, studies regarding BMD change rule and osteoporosis in Guiyang area, China have been rarely reported.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate BMD in adult population in Guiyang area, China and provide the basis for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis.
METHODS: BMD was measured in 1 334 cases aged 20-79 years from Guiyang area using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry during 2008-2011. The measurement sites included lumbar vertebrae 1 to 4 lumbar spine, right proximal femur. The peak BMD reduced by 2.0 SD was taken as the diagnosis for osteoporosis. Statistical analysis was performed based on 10-year age group according to gender.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The peak BMDs of 60 men and 50 women from Guiyang area appeared in age group of 20-29. Female population aged 20-29 years showed a high incidence of osteoporosis and bone loss. These findings suggest that awareness of osteoporosis prevention should be enhanced for women before 50 years old and men before 60 years old, while for the subsequent years, relevant interventions should be taken to reduce osteoporosis incidence.
