Abstract:
Objective To explore the cause, clinical characteristic and the relation to the alterations of bone metabolism and bone mineral density (BMD) in senile male patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Fifty senile male patients with simple stable COPD were divided into moderate and severe groups based on the diagnostic criteria of pulmonary function. Thirty senile male health volunteers were considered as control group. Blood gas analysis, BMD, bone mineral content (BMC), biochemical indexes relative to the bone formation and bone absorption in blood and urine were measured and analyzed. Results Reductions in BMD and BMC were more significant in two COPD groups than those in control group (P
