摘要

本研究旨在建立一台灣中部地區健康女性的骨質密度(Bone Mineral Density, BMD)之資料庫，進而和其他已經存在的文獻或醫療儀器中的骨質密度進行比對，270位參與者的骨質密度（L1-L4及hip-one），由彰化基督教醫院的Hologic QDR 4500C dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)進行量測。由本研究所建立的資料庫中，從人因工程的觀點上來看，中部地區健康女性的骨質密度在過去的十年箋有明顯的變化；且L2-L4的骨質密度顯著較北部女性爲低；同時也發現中部地區健康女性的骨質密度的平均值和峰值均較白種性爲低。因此，本研究所建立的骨質密度資料庫，相對於其他已經存在的資料庫而言，較爲適用於作為台灣中部地區健康女性的骨質密度比對之參考。

The purpose of this study was to establish a normal bone mineral density (BMD) value of healthy women in central Taiwan. Moreover, compare with several studies and existing BMD databases of the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Two hundred and seventeen participators are enrolled in this study. Participators' bone mineral density data of lumbar vertebra (L1-L4) and hip-bone were measured by Hologic QDR 4500C dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) from Chang-Hua Christian Hospital in the central Taiwan. For the ergonomics considerations, the BMD database established in this study can be found that the BMD of central Taiwan females was not significant change during last ten years. The BMD at lumbar vertebral L2-L4 levels is relatively lower than northern Taiwan female. In addition, our study also shows both average and peak BMD values of white female were higher than female in central Taiwan. The results by this study may be providing for diagnosis as normal reference for central Taiwan females.
