| Objective To analyze the relationship between obesity and osteoporosis, and to provide reliable data for the prevention and treatment of obesity and osteoporosis. Methods A total of 1192 people for health screening in Harbin Medical University Affiliated Second Hospital from Jan 2014 to Jan 2015 were enrolled. Triglyceride, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein, and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were measured. Bone mineral density (BMD) of the femurs and lumbar vertebrae was determined using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. People were divided to normal bone mass group, bone loss group, and osteoporosis group, according to the BMD T score, and to general obesity, combined obesity, and central obesity, according to height, weight, blood pressure. The results were analyzed using t-test and x2 test for statistical difference among the groups. Results Osteoporosis detection rate of the 50-59 age group in the male population increased significantly (12.06 %), and it reached to the highest in the 80-89 age group (16.67%). In the female group, the detection rate in the 70-79 years old group was the highest (54.55 %). There were significant differences in fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, and low density lipoprotein cholesterol among the normal bone mass group, bone loss group, and osteoporosis group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In the study of one metabolic abnormality with osteoporosis, there was statistically different between high blood sugar and high blood fat with osteoporosis group (P<0.05). In two metabolic abnormalities associated with osteoporosis group the differences between the two group were statistical significance (P<0.05). The difference was statistically significant between complex obesity and central obesity with osteoporosis group (P<0.05). Conclusion The relationship between different types of obesity and osteoporosis is not consistent. |
