This study examined the bone mass density (BMD) of women who participated in community health screening program, and explored factors associated with it, including age, menopausal status, main daily body posture, number of health examination, parity, body mass index, and life styles. Two hundred and eight women attended screening program and their BMD were evaluated by quantitative ultrasound. The results showed that 33.18% of the women were at reduced BMD status and 18.75% met the criteria of osteoporosis. The habits of drinking tea and coffee were significantly associated with BMD among postmenopausal women. Life style factors were not associated with BMD among premenopausal women. Tea drinking, vitamin taking, parity, age, main daily body posture, and menopause status were significant associated with BMD. The results of logistic regression showed that age and main daily body posture were the factors associated with osteoporosis. The chance of osteoporosis increased 2.7 times per 10 years increases in age and increased 15.22 times comparing sitting daily body posture with standing daily body posture. |
