台北雙和地區女性骨質密度分析
Bone Mineral Density in Females in Shuang He Area, Taipei
摘要
骨質疏鬆症（Osteoporosis）是一種「骨質減少之症候群」年齡愈大，骨質疏鬆症愈易發生，隨著世界人口老化之增加，未來骨質疏鬆症將愈普遍。本研究探討雙和地區女性骨質密度（Bone Densitometry；BMD），分析不同年齡骨質密度的變化及骨質疏鬆的發生率，提高骨質疏鬆症診斷的準確性。儀器方面使用GE LUNAR DPX NT PRO雙光子骨質密度掃描儀，測定腰椎前後位，對於33歲到89歲的女性進行骨密度檢測資料收集，收集資料包括年齡、體重、T值、Z值、並換算BMI值，探討女性受檢者之骨質流失情形。研究結果發現雙和地區50歲以後的女性，骨質密度隨著年齡的增長而下降，呈反比趨勢。數據顯示骨量減少（Osteopenia）患者佔24.4%，平均年齡56.58歲；骨質疏鬆症佔1%，平均年齡55.17歲；骨質密度正常者佔45.7 %，平均年齡58.22歲。

Osteoporosis is a type of osteopenia syndrome that increases with age and the easier it becomes for osteoporosis to occur. Osteoporosis will become more and more common in the future with the increase of the ageing population. This study discusses bone densitometry and bone mineral density (BMD) in females from the Shuang He area. We analyzed the changes in bone mineral density at different ages and the incidence rates of osteoporosis to better define the accuracy of osteoporosis diagnoses. A GE LUNAR DPX NT PRO dual photon bone mineral density scanner was used to determine the bone density of the front and back lumbar vertebra. The bone density of females aged 33 to 89 were examined for data collection. The data collected included age, weight, T-value, Z-value, and calculated BMI to determine the bone loss of the female subjects. Our results indicated that the bone mineral density in females aged 50 and above from the Shuang He area decreased as age increased, showing an inverse trend. The statistics from this study indicated that patients with osteopenia accounted for 24.4%, with an average age of 56.58. Osteoporosis accounted for 1% with an average age of 55.17. Those with normal bone mineral density accounted for 45.7% with an average age of 58.22.
