Bone Mineral Density, Osteopenia, OsteoporosisAbstract
Osteoporosis is a silent disease and it generally leads to fragility fracture. The present study compares the Bone Mineral Density (BMD) by portable ultrasonic bone densitometer in premenopausal and post-menopausal women and also examines the association of BMD with age and Body Mass Index (BMI). A cross-sectional study was done among 79 apparently healthy females grouped as pre and post-menopausal females. An elaborate questionnaire was used and BMD was calculated based on the Tscore by a portable ultrasonic bone densitometer. Similar osteopenic changes were observed in both pre and post-menopausal females while osteoporosis was more prevalent in post-menopausal females. There was an inverse correlation between BMI and BMD in both pre and post-menopausal females but it was only significant in premenopausal women. Additionally, there was an increased frequency of osteopenic changes in our participants which suggested a higher risk of osteoporosis in women hence there is a need to treat osteopenia early to prevent osteoporosis and risk of fragility fractures.
