This study was conducted to assess lean body mass, body fat percentage, and handgrip strength in the prediction of bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women.
This cross-sectional study included 102 postmenopausal women aged between 45 and 80 years (mean age 58) who were screened for osteoporosis using a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan at the lumbar spine. The lean body mass, body fat percentage, and handgrip strength were calculated.
The lean body mass, body fat percentage, and handgrip strength were having a positive association (correlation coefficient: 0.48, 0.29, and 0.3, respectively) with BMD.
Lean body mass, body fat percentage, and handgrip strength can detect early loss of BMD in postmenopausal women leading to early screening for osteoporosis resulting in early interventions minimizing BMD loss over a much longer period after menopause.
本研究旨在评估绝经后女性的瘦体重、体脂百分比和握力对骨密度(BMD)的预测作用。
这项横断面研究纳入了102名年龄在45至80岁之间(平均年龄58岁)的绝经后女性,她们通过腰椎双能X线吸收法扫描进行骨质疏松筛查。计算了瘦体重、体脂百分比和握力。
瘦体重、体脂百分比和握力与骨密度呈正相关(相关系数分别为0.48、0.29和0.3)。
瘦体重、体脂百分比和握力可检测绝经后女性骨密度的早期流失,从而实现骨质疏松的早期筛查,进而进行早期干预,在绝经后的更长时间内将骨密度流失降至最低。
