Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between fat content of postmenopausal osteoporosis patients and bone mineral density (BMD).Methods144 female osteoporotic patients with the age of 50～75 years were choosen from guangdong province from October 2010 to January 2011.According to TCM syndrome differentiations,these patients were divided into kidney Yang deficiency group,liver-kidney Yin deficiency group,spleen and kidney Yang deficiency group and Qi stagnancy and blood stasis group.Four groups of patients were performed total body fat content detection.The data were analyzed by software SPSS 16.0.ResultsComparing of L1～4 average BMD in four groups showed:BMD of Kidney Yang deficiency group was maximum,followed by spleen and kidney Yang deficiency group,and the BMD of Qi stagnancy and blood stasis group was minimum.Comparison between the four groups showed statistical significance (P＜0.05).Comparing of body fat content Iin the four groups showed:the body fat content in the kidney Yang deficiency group was minimum,followed by spleen and kidney Yang deficiency group,and body fat content in Qi stagnancy and blood stasis group was maximum.Pair-comparison in kidney Yang deficiency group,liver-kidney Yin deficiency group,spleen and kidney Yang deficiency group showed no statistical significance (P＞0.05).While these three groups showed statistical difference when comparing with Qi stagnancy and blood stasis group (P＜0.05).The body fat content and L1～4 average BMD had negative correlation.ConclusionOsteoporosis in Qi stagnancy and blood stasis group was more serious than the other three other groups.Fat content was negatively related with bone density.
