摘要

本研究為了解台灣東部地區某原住民社區婦女骨質密度之現況及骨質疏鬆之盛行率，探討其骨質密度與年齡、停經與否、身體質量指數、握力、與生活型態之關係。研究方法：以東部地區某原住民社區婦女為研究對象，使用定量式超音波骨密度檢查儀測量骨密度，並以自擬之問卷收集社會人口學相關基本資料，於民國90年10月17日至91年1月31日，配合衛生所巡迴社區複合式篩檢活動，分別於各村衛生室進行收案調查。研究結果：本研究共收集314名樣本，均為女性，平均年齡53.1歲，其中54.1%為已經停經之婦女，所測得之音波衰減值(BUA)為骨質疏鬆症者佔39.5%。骨質密度與年齡、停經、握力、喝酒、喝咖啡或合咖啡因飲料之統計有顯著相關，與生活型態之抽煙、牛奶攝取量與運動情形之統計相關均不顯著。

The purposes of this study were to understand the prevalence of osteoporosis in Taiwan Eastern Aboriginal community and to compare the bone mineral density (BMD) with age, BMI, grip strain and life style. Material and methods: The study was conducted between October 17, 2001 until January 31, 2002. The bone density was evaluated by the quantitative ultrasound (QUS). The results showed that 314 healthy adult women volunteers living in the aboriginal community participated in the screening with mean age of 53.1 and 54.1% were post menopause. The BMD declined significantly for a downward trend with age. In a variance analysis of BMD the significant variables were age, menopause, grip strain, alcohol consumption, and coffee consumption. However cigarette habits, milk consumption and physical activity were not obviously associated with BMD level.
