It has been shown that patients with thoracic kyphosis due to osteoporosis have diminished pulmonary function. The aim of this study was to determine the pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, and endurance of patients with osteoporosis who did not have compression fractures.
The patient group consisted of 88 recently diagnosed postmenopausal osteoporotic women without spinal fractures. They were matched for age and body mass index with 54 healthy women, who formed the control group. Bone mineral density, pulmonary function test (PFT), maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV), maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) measurements of both groups were performed.
There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding PFT parameters and MIP and MEP. However, osteoporotic patients had significantly lower MW values.
Women with postmenopausal osteoporosis without spinal compression fractures have normal PFT, MIP, and MEP values, but they have reduced respiratory muscle endurance.
研究表明，因骨质疏松症导致胸椎后凸的患者肺功能会下降。本研究的目的是确定没有发生压缩性骨折的骨质疏松症患者的肺功能、呼吸肌力量和耐力。
患者组由88名近期诊断出的无脊柱骨折的绝经后骨质疏松症女性组成。她们在年龄和体重指数方面与54名健康女性匹配，这些健康女性组成对照组。对两组进行骨密度、肺功能测试（PFT）、最大自主通气量（MVV）、最大吸气压力（MIP）和最大呼气压力（MEP）测量。
两组在PFT参数以及MIP和MEP方面没有显著差异。然而，骨质疏松症患者的MVV值明显较低。
没有脊柱压缩性骨折的绝经后骨质疏松症女性的PFT、MIP和MEP值正常，但呼吸肌耐力降低。
