Objectives : This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence rate of osteoporosis according to age and the effect of physical characteristics and obstetrical history on bone mineral density in pre- and postmenopausal women in Korea.
Methods : The subjects were 961 premenopausal and 1,167 postmenopausal women who had been examined in health promotion center of Yeungnam University Hospital in Daegu city from January, 1999 to January, 2001. The test for bone mineral density, and body composition were conducted.
Results : The results of this study were as follows;
1. The prevalence rates of reduced bone mineral density and osteoporosis in premenopausal women were 23.8% and 1.6%, respectively. However, these values were increased to 46.1% and 28.1% in postmenopausal women.
2. The age was most important predictive factor for bone mineral density in pre- and postmenopausal women. The bone mineral density was peaked at the thirties and declined sharply around fifty years old and declined slightly after the seventies, which revealed a typical cubic equation. The loss of bone mineral density was started at forty years old.
3. The body weight and height were important predictive factors for bone mineral density. The effects of age, body weight, and height on bone mineral density were 39%. The body weight was correlated statistically significantly with bone mineral density in pre- and postmenopausal women. The higher body mass index(BMI), the greater value of bone mineral density was revealed in pre- and postmenopausal women.
4. In multiple regression analysis, age, body weight, height showed statistically significant inverse correlation with bone mineral density.
Conclusions : These results suggested that to prevent osteoporosis, the systemized program including physical condition for promoting anti-osteoporotic factor have to be developed and apply from the thirties whom have maximal bone mineral density.
