We studied ninety postmenopausal women who were suspected of having osteoporosis and aimed to investigate if 'arm span-height difference' value can help to estimate osteoporosis or related vertebral fractures. Osteoporosis was found in 51 of the patients. There was no statistical difference between osteoporotic and nonosteoporotic patients for 'arm span-height' value (p is less than 0.05). No statistical difference was determined between total Kleerekoper score and 'arm span-height difference' value (p is less than 0.05). It did not seem convenient to estimate the presence of osteoporosis and related fractures by the help of 'arm span-height difference' value.
我们研究了90名疑似患有骨质疏松症的绝经后女性，旨在调查“臂展-身高差值”是否有助于评估骨质疏松症或相关椎体骨折。51例患者被诊断为骨质疏松症。骨质疏松症患者与非骨质疏松症患者的“臂展-身高”值无统计学差异（p<0.05）。总Kleerekoper评分与“臂展-身高差值”之间未发现统计学差异（p<0.05）。借助“臂展-身高差值”评估骨质疏松症及相关骨折的存在似乎并不方便。
