The ageing process causes changes in the bone structure, in bone mineral density, and musculoskeletal disorders.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare involutive changes in bone structure that occur in relation to age in men and women through the study of bone mineral density at the Ward's triangle and trabecular volume.
In this study, we analysed bone mineral density at Ward's triangle in 70 people (38 men and 32 women) and did a histomorphometric study of trabecular volume at the right iliac crest in 66 samples (42 males and 24 females) obtained from autopsies of court cases, aged between 13 and 83 years.
The results show significant correlations between measurements of bone mineral density, trabecular volume values and anthropometric measures of age, gender and body mass index.
This study shows involutional changes that occur in the bone mineral density and Ward's triangle in the bone structure during the process of ageing. In addition, both weight and height have a great influence on bone mineral density and changes in bone that occur; and body mass index is a very important determinant of bone mineral density.
衰老过程会导致骨骼结构、骨矿物质密度及肌肉骨骼疾病发生变化。
本研究旨在通过对沃德三角区骨矿物质密度及骨小梁体积的研究，评估和比较男性与女性因年龄增长而发生的骨骼结构退行性变化。
本研究分析了70人（38名男性和32名女性）沃德三角区的骨矿物质密度，并对从年龄在13至83岁的法庭案件尸检中获取的66个样本（42名男性和24名女性）右侧髂嵴处的骨小梁体积进行了组织形态计量学研究。
结果表明，骨矿物质密度测量值、骨小梁体积值与年龄、性别及体重指数的人体测量指标之间存在显著相关性。
本研究显示了衰老过程中骨矿物质密度及骨骼结构中沃德三角区发生的退行性变化。此外，体重和身高对骨矿物质密度及发生的骨骼变化有很大影响；体重指数是骨矿物质密度的一个非常重要的决定因素。
