| Due to the trend of high incidence of osteoporosis in the future, it is necessary to carry out screening for postmenopausal osteoporosis in the community. At present, the risk assessment indicators mentioned in the guidelines and consensus on osteoporosis in various countries lack specificity. The results of our team suggest that the combined index composing six clinical examination indicators, i.e., BW (body weight), Age (age), LVDD (left ventricular end diastolic diameter), CKMB (creatine kinase isoenzyme MB), ALP (alkaline phosphatase), and FT3 (free triiodothyronine), is significantly correlated with bone mineral density of the femoral neck in postmenopausal women. We named virtual bone mineral density for this assessment model, which was used as an early warning of the risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and was an effective monitoring of female bone health. Targeted health management and preventive measures based on the results can effectively reduce the incidence of osteoporosis. The method is simple and cheap. It has a wide application prospect in the community, which can bring huge social benefits. |
