Methods 155 persons underwent quantitative CT of lumbar vertebrae for bone mineral density (BMD), and filled out interview sheet for the details of general condition, lifestyle and risk factors. The correlation between the BMD and risk factors was analyzed using multiple linear regression software. Results (1)The risk factors for BMD in males are age, drinking, milk intake, fracture, calcium, total cholesterol, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and urine protein, while the risk factors for females are age, body mass index and total cholesterol (P 0.05) . (2) Multiple linear regression proved that age, drinking, total cholesterol, and creatinine influence BMD remarkably in both males and females, age, drinking, blood sugar, and blood urea nitrogen play an important role for BMD in males while age, body mass index, and total cholesterol for BMD in females. (3) Three formulae were used for roughly estimating the situation of BMD with scanned factors. Conclusions (1) The main factors for BMD in males are different from those for that in females. (2) Many risk factors of cardiovascular diseases such as age,obesity, hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol influence BMD. (3) Drinking has effect on BMD. There are positive correlation between the BMD and the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. Control of these risk factors can prevent cardiovascular disease as well as osteoporosis.Read More
