Comparison between Study of Bone Mineral Density in Males and Females of Various Age Groups

Background: Osteoporosis is one of the complex diseases which have multiple etiology. The cause of it is maybe genetic and environmental or nutritional. There are various techniques for the measurement of bone mineral density. The DXA (DUEL ENERGY X-RAY ABSORBTIOMETRY AND BONE DENSITOMETER) is frequently used to measure bone mineral density. The other measures to measure bone mineral density are Quantitative computed

Results: With the increase in negative T tomography and ultrasound tonometry. The WHO standard for distinguishing patients as normal with 1 standard deviation of peak bone mass. Osteopinic 1 to 2.5 below peak bone mass .osteoporotic ;>2.5 standard deviation below peak bone mass.

Materials and Methods: The study included 200 Subjects of various age groups of both sexes. The study was carried out in the department of anatomy with the collaboration of the Department Of Orthopedics. The proforma was structured to include the details of the subjects with height, weight, etc. With a score of one, the risk of fracture increased 1.5 to 3 fold.

Conclusion: The study of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) can help in increasing awareness about bone health in growing countries. There is a significant association between various age groups and a non-significant association between genders for BMD evaluation.

The current study puts up to our understanding of BMD disparities among people that would suggest the use of local testimonial scales for an authentic explanation of BMD reports.
