| Abstract |
Purpose
Among the various kinds of osteoporosis s risk factor, body weight (BW) is one of the most important factor
for osteoporotic fracture. But young age s BW or body mass index (BMI) is not studied for the relationship with BMD
in postmenopausal patients. So author investigated the relationships between young age s BMI and postmenopausal BMI
for BMD in postmenopausal Korean women.
Methods
From Jan. 2005 to Sep. 2009, total 109 postmenopausal women who visited endocrinology department of
Soonchunhyang University Hospital were enrolled. All the subjects were checked current and young age s BW, BMI
and BMD. Patients were devided by 2 groups, one was osteoporosis group (OS, n = 38) and the other was normal and
osteopenia group (OP, n = 37).
Results
Total 75 subjects who's mean age was 61.07 years and BMI was 23.5 kg/m2 were included. BMI at young age
was 20.29 kg/m2 in osteoprosis (OS) group and 20.30 kg/m2 in normal and osteopenia (OP) group which showed no
statistical difference. BW after postmenopausal period showed significant correlations with lumbar spine (r = 0.292, P =
0.011), femur neck (r = 0.283, P = 0.014), total hip (r = 0.271, P = 0.019). But BW at young age showed significant
correlations only with lumbar spine (r = 0.265, P = 0.021). BW change from young age to postmenopausal period
showed significant difference (P = 0.03) between OS group (5.23 ± 7.21 kg) and normal and OP group (9.81 ±
10.31 kg).
Conclusion
Young age s BW was only correlated with lumbar spine BMD and young age s BMI were not correlated
with BMD. BW changes are bigger in normal and OP group than OS group which means that weight gain after peak
bone mass formation to menopausal period is more important than young age's BW for prevention of osteoprosis.
