Methods: BMD were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA) in 2288 residents aged 20 to 80. BMD values were analyzed by different age groups in 5 years interval, and the incidence of osteoporosis was analyzed by different age groups in 10 years interval. Results: The peak bone mass were detected in 30~35 age group and declined afterwards. A remarkable decrease in BMD was shown in women after 50 years old. The female group has a higher incidence of osteoporosis than the male group, especially in the Ward’s trigonal area. Conclusion: This study provides references for the diagnosis and therapy osteoporosis in Shenyang region.Read More
