The purpose of this study was to examine the association between depressive symptoms and bone mineral density (BMD).
Depressive symptoms were measured using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale. BMD of total hip, femoral neck, anterio-posterior (AP) spine, wrist, and total body were measured by DXA using standardized procedures. Mean levels of BMD across gender-specific tertiles of CES-D score were obtained using ANOVA and ANCOVA.
Participants included 97 police officers (41 women; 29-64 years). Depressive symptoms were not associated with BMD at any site among men. However among women, mean BMD values decreased across increasing (worsening) tertiles of CES-D for the AP spine (low CES-D=1.22 ± 0.04; medium CES-D=1.05±0.04; high CES-D=1.03±0.04 g/cm2; p=0.035) and for the whole body (low=1.26±0.03; medium=1.20±0.03; high=1.11±0.03 g/cm2; p=0.018) after adjustment.
Higher depressive symptoms were associated with lower BMD among female but not male officers.
本研究旨在探讨抑郁症状与骨密度(BMD)之间的关联。
使用流行病学研究中心抑郁量表(CES-D)来测量抑郁症状。采用标准化程序通过双能X线吸收法(DXA)测量全髋、股骨颈、腰椎前后位、腕部和全身的骨密度。使用方差分析(ANOVA)和协方差分析(ANCOVA)获得CES-D评分按性别分层的三分位数分组中的骨密度平均水平。
研究对象包括97名警察(41名女性;年龄29 - 64岁)。男性中,抑郁症状与任何部位的骨密度均无关联。然而在女性中,调整后,腰椎前后位(低CES-D组 = 1.22 ± 0.04;中CES-D组 = 1.05 ± 0.04;高CES-D组 = 1.03 ± 0.04 g/cm²;p = 0.035)和全身(低 = 1.26 ± 0.03;中 = 1.20 ± 0.03;高 = 1.11 ± 0.03 g/cm²;p = 0.018)的骨密度均值随着CES-D评分三分位数的增加(抑郁症状加重)而降低。
女性警察中,较高的抑郁症状与较低的骨密度相关,而男性警察中则无此关联。
