MATERIAL AND METHODS: The medical records from a recent 3-year period of annual health examinations at a single institution were reviewed. A total of 1514 men (mean age 49.08 +/- 13.62) and 1955 women (48.07 +/- 14.12), who lived in the Taipei area, had no major systemic disorders, and who had undergone both L-BMD and F-BMD examinations, were recruited. RESULTS: In women, peak L-BMD (1.078 +/- 0.133 g/cm2) occurred in the 30 to 39-year age group, whereas peak F-BMD (0.873 +/- 0.101 g/cm2) occurred in the 17 to 29-year age group. In men, peak L-BMD (1.095 +/- 0.137 g/cm2) and F-BMD (0.989 +/- 0.140 g/cm2) both occurred in the 17 to 29-year age group. The estimated annual bone loss was 0.69% of peak L-BMD in women over 50 years; in the proximal femur this was 0.688% in women and 0.332% in men. In women over 60 years, approximately half of the population had osteoporosis in the lumbar spine. CONCLUSION: We report descriptive BMD data of a Chinese population recruited from a Taipei urban area who underwent routine health examination. The values are similar to or higher than those of Japanese, Canadian and Greek populations. L-BMD was lower than that in the Lebanese, and F-BMD of both sexes was lower than that reported in the Greek study. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=10326 ------>authors2=Liu JF ------>authors3=Chi WL ------>authors4= ------>authors5= ------>authors6= ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Chan WP ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=Evaluation of bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and proximal femur in population-based routine health examinations of healthy Asians. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=None ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2004 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=None |
