The prevalence of radiographically defined vertebral deformities, as a marker of vertebral osteoporosis, was calculated in a population based cross-sectional survey in Germany.
Lateral spine X-rays were taken according to a standardized protocol and evaluated centrally. Three thousand nine hundred and eighty subjects (2064 male and 1916 female) aged 50 to 79 years, have been examined in 8 German centers.
Based on McCloskey's method of deformity definition the age-standardized mean prevalence of vertebral deformities in Germany was 10.2% for males and 10.5% for females. Based on the definition by Melton/Eastell a significant higher prevalence was calculated (males 17.8%, females 18.7%). The prevalence increased with age in both sexes with a steeper increase in females. There was no difference in East and West German populations. There were substantial variations between the centers regarding the prevalence of deformities in females and males.
在德国进行的一项基于人群的横断面调查中,计算了作为椎体骨质疏松症标志物的影像学定义的椎体畸形患病率。
按照标准化方案拍摄脊柱侧位X线片并进行集中评估。德国8个中心对3980名年龄在50至79岁之间的受试者(2064名男性和1916名女性)进行了检查。
根据麦克洛斯基的畸形定义方法,德国椎体畸形的年龄标准化平均患病率男性为10.2%,女性为10.5%。根据梅尔顿/伊斯泰尔的定义计算出的患病率显著更高(男性17.8%,女性18.7%)。男女患病率均随年龄增长而增加,女性增加更为明显。东德和西德人群之间没有差异。各中心之间男女畸形患病率存在很大差异。
