本研究目的在於評估國人健康的女性因年齡、體重、身高、身體質量指數及更年期停經等因子與腰椎骨的骨質密度(BMD)關係。以710位居住台北縣新莊市地區健康的女性為主要對象。依身體質量指數分為理想組(90%-110%)；過重組(111%-120%)；肥胖組(121%以上)；消瘦組(89%以下)以進行研究。本研究採用Norland公司XR-36 雙能量X-射線吸收儀( dual energy x-ray absorptiometry)，掃描腰椎第二至第四脊椎骨之骨質密度( bone mineral density BMD)做為研究分析依據。
英文摘要
The purpose of the research is to evaluate the relation between the BMD (bone mineral density) and the healthy women’s age, weight, height, body mass index and menopause. The main target is the 710 women living the Hsin-Chuang city, Taipei county. According to body mass index, the target is divided to four groups, which are idea group (90% ~ 110%), overweight group (111% ~ 120%), obesity group (over 121%), lean group (below 90%). The research uses the Norland Company’s XR 36 dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scanning the lumbar spin the second to the fourth lumbar spine’s BMD to be analysis value of the research.
