Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of different climate and geographic conditions on bone mineral density.Materials and Methods: The patients who had been examined with Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) for the suspicion of osteoporosis in two different regions of Turkey were included in the study. Medical records of these 2457 patients were evaluated retrospectively. Age, gender, body mass index (BMI) and osteoporosis etiology of these patients were recorded.Results: Dual X-ray Absorptiometry measurements of the femoral neck and lomber vertebras of these patients were investigated. 927 of the patients were found to be osteoporotic and 907 of the patients to be osteopenic. There was no difference between the groups in terms of age, gender and BMI. Lumbar vertebras and femoral neck T scores of the patients with similar age and gender in these 2 different regions were compared and the difference between the groups was found to be statistically significant (p

Özet

Amaç: İklim ve coğrafi farklılıklarının kemik mineral dansitometrisi üzerine etkisinin incelenmesi.Gereç ve Yöntem: İki farklı bölgedeki osteoporoz düşünülen ve bu nedenle Dual Enerji X-ray Absorpsiyometri (DXA) çekilen toplam 2457 hastanın dosyaları retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi ve çalışmaya dahil edildi. Ayrıca hastaların; yaşları, cinsiyetleri, vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ) ve osteoporoz etyolojileri kaydedildi.Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen hastaların femur boynu ve lomber omurga DXA ölçümleriyle osteoporoz tanısı konulan 927 hasta ile osteopeni tanısı konulan 907 hasta tespit edildi. Gruplar arası yaş, cinsiyet, VKİ açısından anlamlı fark izlenmedi. Her iki bölgedeki aynı yaş ve cinsiyetteki hastaların lumbal bölge L1-4 T skoru ile femur boyun T skoru karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı bir fark olduğu görüldü (p
