Relationship Between Patient’s Age and Bone Mineral Density of Lomber Spine and Femur in Postmenopausal Women
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between patient’s age and lomber spine, hip regions(femur neck, trochanter, Ward’s triangle) bone mineral density (BMD) and T scores. A total of 85 postmenopausal women whose L2-4 T score was equal to or less than -2.5 with a mean age of 65.72 (5...

| Summary: | The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between patient’s age and lomber spine, hip regions(femur neck, trochanter, Ward’s triangle) bone mineral density (BMD) and T scores. A total of 85 postmenopausal women whose L2-4 T score was equal to or less than -2.5 with a mean age of 65.72 (50-81) years were included. Bone mineral density of lomber spine and hip was measured by dual energy x-ray absorbtiometry (DEXA) in all patients. Pearson correlation analysis was used to perform the statistical evaluation. There was negative correlation between patient’s age and femoral neck and ward’s triangle BMD and T scores (p < 0.05). There was no correlation between patient’s age and L2-4, trochanter BMD and T scores (p >0.05). |
