Abstract
Objectives: (1) To assess the bone mineral density by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry in women aged 45 and older with overweight, obesity. (2) To approach the relationship between the bone mineral density and osteoporosis risk factors in women aged 45 and older with overweight, obesity. Materials and method: 207 women aged 45 and older receiving treatment at Medic - Binh Duong hospital were divided into 2 groups: 147 women with overweight, obesity and 60 women without overweight, obesity. Research was designed as a cross-sectional descriptive study and comparative control group. Results: The femoral bone mineral density in terms of women with overweight, obesity is (0.795 ± 0.121) and the control group is (0.731± 0.116). The bone mineral density of lumbar spine in women with overweight, obesity is (0.800 ± 0.138) and the control group is (0.757 ± 0.148). Conclusions: The bone mineral of femora in women with overweight, obesity was higher than that of the control group (p<0.05). Between two groups, there were no differences in the bone mineral of lumbar spine (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant relationship between the bone mineral density and age, menopause state, and duration of menopause in women aged 45 and older with overweight, obesity (p<0.01). Key words: Bone mineral density, women aged 45 and older, overweight, obesity
