Abstract
Aim. To analyse correlations between bone tissue mineral density (BMD) and risk factors of osteoporosis.
Material and methods. Correlation between bone mass density measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptionmetry (DEXA) and risk factors (RF) of osteoporosis (fractures in relatives, early menopause, fractures in patients, low weight and low food calcium consumption) was studied in 1115 postmenopausal women (mean age 64.24 ± 3.92).
Results. A decrease of BMD with age, even without RF leads to osteopenia at the age over 70 years. The presence of almost all RF (except low calcium consumption) often combines with osteopenia, two RF - fractures in the patients, low weight - are associated with osteoporosis.
Conclusion. The above correlation helps make decisions on treatment policy in outpatients.
