Title: Analysis of Bone Mineral Density of Lumbar Vertebrae in Female Adult in Jinan Area
Abstract: Objective To understand the normal value and changes of bone mineral density(BMD) of lumbar vertebrae of healthyfemale adult in Jinan area.Methods BMD was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA) at lumbar vertebrae(L_1~L_4) in 399 healthy female adult in Jinan area.The data on the basis of 5 years in age as a group were analysed.Results The peak of BMD was in the group of 35~39 years old.There was a tendency of decreased BMD with the increasing age,while BMD was slightly increased in the group of 65~74 years old.BMD tended to increase from L_1 to L_4 in the same age group,the mean BMD and changes of BMD in every lumbar vertebrae were significant differences.Conclusion The normal range and characteristics of BMD in the lumbar vertebrae(L_1~L_4) of healthy female adult in Jinan area are gained in this study.
