Purpose
In our study, we investigated the effect of dietary and drinking habits, the number of birth and the age of last delivery on bone mineral density (BMD), serum 25-hydroxivitamin-D (vit D) and beta-crosslaps level in a South Hungarian female population.
In Hungary, the maternal age at delivery started to increase. According to our health statistics in 2018 more women deliveried a baby over 40 years old, while less baby was born under the maternal age of 30 (1). So we wanted to investigate the effect...
Methods and materials
202 of Caucasian female between 40-80-year-old (mean: 63.72, SD: 7.97) participated in this survey between 2015 and 2017. Physical examination included height, weight measurement. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated with the following formula: BMI=weight (kg)/height (m2). BMD was measured in femoral neck (FN) and lumbar spine (LS; L1-4) using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA; Lunar Prodigy Advance, GE Healthcare Malborough, MA, USA). The DXA result were analyzed by enCORE-W7 Software (version:16SP2) (GE Healthcare, Malborough, MA, USA). Body composition was also analyzed by DXA. We also...
Results
In our study, participants' mean BMI was increased (over 30: 29,42 kg⁄m2 and before 30: 29,31 kg⁄m2). For further details of physical parameters please see Table 1.
Bone mass and bone density were significantly and moderately correlated (r=0,57 and p
Conclusion
In the Western world, life span is increasing. In elderly people the higher rate of bone fracture is known which can lead to detrimental effects to the healthcare system, to the society and to the patients' family. Therefore it is getting more important to achieve and maintain proper bone composition even at older age or facilitate bone gain when the bone is still accreting. Prevent of bone loss is another way to decrease bone fracture occurance at older age.
In Hungary, the age of delivery...
