Abstract
Problem statement: The relationship between obesity and osteoporosis has been widely studied and epidemiological evidence shows that obesity is correlated with increased bone mass. Anthropometric factors such as body height and body weight which are related to body mass index should be considered. Approach: We measured whole body fat mass, fat free mass, muscle mass, Body water, percentage fat mass and body mass index in the South Indian women (n = 178, age = 38.34±13.59) by slim manager N-40 (Body Composition Analyzer, Korea). Bone mineral density was measured at right proximal femoral region of 50 South Indian women (n = 50, age = 50.12±13.73) using the device DPX Prodigy DXA Scanner, GE- Lunar, USA. Similarly, Bone mineral density of fore arm was measured using peripheral dual energy x-ra y absorptiometry (Osteometer, DTX-200 Ameritech Inc, USA) for 62 (39.76±13.41) women. Results: Body composition parameters such as body water, muscle mass, fat mass and fat free mass exhibited high significance with weight (p<0.001). Trochanter BMD demonstrated high significance with body water, fatfree mass and muscle mass (p<0.01). BMI displayed high significance with body fat mass (p<0.0001). Conclusion: So conclusion of this study depicts that the body composition parameters exhibited significant correlation with right femoral bone mineral density measured at various anatomical sites, but demonstr ated no correlation with right fore arm bone mineral den sity, similarly measured at anatomical sites.
Highlights
More number of research characterized by a bunch of irregularities such as bone studies has demonstrated that Bone Mineral Density thinning and decrementation in micro-architecture, that (BMD) correlates well with the strength of the bone and would lead to increased risk of fracture
WHO’s diagnostic criteria for osteoporosis was used in the study; Based on the femur neck BMD values measured by dual energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA), total women were divided into the following sub-groups: Group-I: Normal Indian women (T-score > -1); Group-II: Indian women with osteopenia (-2.5
As regards to body composition analysis we found that parameters such as protein, mineral, BFM have not exhibited any significance; body water, Muscle Mass (MM) and FFM exhibited little or moderate significance
Summary
Most of the higher BMD than black and white subjects who had fractures occur in people, who might not possess huge body structure and trunk fat (Lu et al, 2011). DXA has been used to measure macroscopic changes in BM at the proximal femur that correlate with hip fracture risk. Anthropometric factors such as body-height and bodyweight which are related to Body Mass Index (BMI) are considered. We investigated the association of BM in right proximal femur and fore arm with respect to FM and FFM in pre and post menopausal women and estimated the risk of higher percentage FM on osteoporosis, osteopenia and normal groups
