Objective To explore the correlation between physical measurement, body composition analysis indexes and lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) in middle-aged and elderly male based on Quantitative CT (QCT). Methods This study is a cross-sectional study, 1 152 middle-aged and elderly male physical examination subjects who underwent physical examination at the Health Management Center of Henan Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2018 to February 2023 were selected as the study subjects, and the data of age, height, weight, blood pressure, waist circumference, hip circumference, body fat mass and body muscle mass were collected, and body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BFP) and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), and the BMD value of the lumbar spine was measured by QCT technology, and the subjects were divided into normal BMI group (18.5≤BMI<24 kg/m2) and overweight and obesity group (BMI >24 kg/m2), and the two groups were discussed according to the bone mass diagnostic criteria. One-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis and partial correlation analysis were used to analyze the correlation between physical measures and body composition analysis and lumbar BMD. Results In the normal BMI group, the age, systolic blood pressure, waist-to-hip ratio and BFP of the osteoporosis group were significantly higher than those of the normal bone mass group and the osteopenia group, and the SMI was significantly lower than that of the normal bone mass group and the osteopenia group (all P<0.05). The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that the BMD value of the lumbar spine was negatively correlated with age, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio and BFP in the normal BMI group (r= – 0.385, r= – 0.122, r= –0.199, r= – 0.168, all P<0.05), and positively correlated with SMI (r=0.226, P<0.05), the BMD value of lumbar spine was significantly negatively correlated with age, systolic blood pressure, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio and BFP in the overweight and obese groups (r= – 0.379, r= – 0.087, r= – 0.101, r= – 0.187, r= – 0.199, all P<0.05), and was positively correlated with SMI (r=0.251, P<0.05). After adjusting for age factors, the results of partial correlation analysis showed that the BMD value of lumbar spine was significantly negatively correlated with waist circumference, waist-hip ratio and BFP in the normal BMI group (r= – 0.157, r= – 0.212, r= – 0.134, all P<0.05) and positively correlated with SMI (r=0.167, P<0.05), and the BMD value of lumbar spine was significantly negatively correlated with waist circumference, waist-hip ratio and BFP in the overweight and obesity group (r= – 0.120, r= – 0.163, r= – 0.126, all P<0.05), and positively correlated with SMI (r=0.159, P<0.05). Conclusion Waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, BFP and SMI are closely related to the BMD value of lumbar spine in middle-aged and elderly men, which has certain clinical value for the prevention and management of obesity and osteoporosis. |
