Abstract:
In this paper,we analysed the plain film of spine and CT bone mineral density(BMD)of lumbar vertebral body in 63 Chinese osteoporotic women. There are 29 and 34 cases with and without fracture respectively in these patients. The average value of BMD in the fracture group was markedly lower than that of the non fracture group (P=0.0006).We suggested that 95mg/cm￣3 may be taken as an appropriate fracture threshold for Chinese elderly women, There were 18 and 45 cases with and without heterogenous calcification respectively in these patients.A significant difference of BMD was found between the two groups(P
