Methods BMD values of lumber spine and proximal femur were determined by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry in 2711 residents aged 20 to 80. Results The peak values of BMD were detected in 20-29 age group and declined gradually afterwards. The female BMD showed a sharp decline in 50-59 age group while the male did not. The incidence rate of osteoporosis after 40 years old was 28. 3% (male) and 45. 2% (female) , respectively. Significant difference was found between male and female in age group of 50-59 (P0. 05) . Conclusions This study provides a subjective and effective evidence for diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis in Urumqi region.Read More
