Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the relationship among hip axis length, proximal femur bone mineral density and physical characteristics. 1135 female and 454 male (total n= 1589) subjects were included in this study. The height and weight of the subjects were recorded. Proximal femur bone mineral density (femur neck, ward’s trochanter and femur total bone mineral density) and hip axis length was measured with dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. Mean and standart deviation of hip axis length results were 104.1± 6.7 mm in females, 120.3± 8.1mm in males. According to the statistical analysis the strongest relationship was found between hip axis length and height of the subjects, the weakest relationship was found between hip axis length and age of the subjects. Results indicated that hip axis length is found to be longer in taller subjects and people who have low Ward’s bone mineral density and fracture risk can be higher according to normal population.

Özet

Kemik mineral yoğunluğunun yanı sıra proksimal femurun geometrisinin de kırık riskini tahmin etmede önemli bir belirleyici olduğu ileri sürülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, erişkinlerde fiziksel özellikler ile kemik mineral yoğunluğu ve kalça aks uzunluğu arasındaki ilişkinin ortaya konması amaçlanmıştır. 1135 kadın, 454 erkeğin (toplam n=1589) yer aldığı çalışmada bireylerin yaşları, boyları, vücut ağırlıkları ölçülmüştür. Proksimal femur kemik mineral yoğunluğu (femur boynu kemik mineral yoğunluğu, Ward’s kemik mineral yoğunluğu, trokanter kemik mineral yoğunluğu, femur total kemik mineral yoğunluğu) ve kalça aks uzunluğu DEXA yöntemi ile Lunar absorbsiyometre cihazı ile ölçülmüş ve hazırlanan formlara kaydedilmiştir. Bireylerin kalça aks uzunluğu ortalamaları ve standart sapmaları kadınlarda 104.1 ± 6.7, erkeklerde 120.3± 8.1mm olarak bulunmuştur. Yapılan istatistiksel değerlendirmede her iki cinsiyet içinde, ölçülen tüm parametreler kalça aks uzunluğu ile karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak en kuvvetli ilişkinin boy ile kalça aks uzunluğu arasında, en zayıf ilişkinin ise yaş ile kalça aks uzunluğu arasında olduğu gözlendi. Sonuç olarak, uzun boylu ve ward’s kemik mineral yoğunluğu düşük olan kişilerde kalça aks uzunluğu değeri fazladır ve kırık oluşma olasılığı normal populasyona göre daha çoktur.
