Determination of the standard values of the hand bone mineral density values in males according to ages
Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2013, Vol 40, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: In this study we purposed to determine standard values of hand Bone Mineral Density (BMD) according to ages by Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) in males who applied to our hospital, evaluate association of hand BMD with lumbar and femur BMD and search usefulness of hand BMD measurement by DXA. Methods: Totally, 239 male included, whose ages differ between 27 to 87 years, had no disease associated with bone density were included. The cases, between the ages 20 to 70 separated to age groups, comprised of 5 years. Cases, whose age is 70 and older, included in the same group. Average of dominant and nondominant hand BMD values of the chosen cases were computed according to age groups comprised of 5 years and the association with values of L2-L4 and femur neck BMD is searched separately. Results: There is significant association between dominant hand BMD scores with L2-L4 and femur neck BMD scores. Also there is significant association between nondominant hand BMD scores with L2-L4 and femur neck BMD scores. Also there is asignificant association between scores of hand BMD with hand grip strenght. Conclusion: In this study there is significant association between BMD scores of dominant and nondominant hand with BMD scores of L2-L4 and femur neck in all age groups. Rheumatological diseases, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, tendon and nerve lacerations of hand and forearm, fractures of upper extremity and hemiplegy, that can causes local osteoporosis in the hand, measurement of hand BMD can be done by DXA. Key words: Bone mineral density, dual energy X ray absorptiometry, osteoporosis
