The result showed that: the age and BMI is equivalent between two groups. The bone mineral density in males is higher than that in females, the bone mineral density is highest on neck of femur and lowest on trochiter. The rate of osteomalacia on the upper part of femur was 31.5%. The density of the neck of femur in male group is higher than female ones. Weight, BMI and sport playing are factors related to crease bone density. Age, smoking and alcohol drinking are factors that lessen the bone density. For the elders, it is nesesay to measure the bone density in order to have preventive methods and appropriate treatment, avoid bone facture later.
