Abstract:
Objective To explore the impact of age and menstrual status on ADC value of pelvic bone marrow in adult women. Methods ADC data of pelvic bone marrow in 124 adult women were retrospectively analyzed, including 51 premenopausal women (premenopausal group, 32 aged>40 and 19 aged ≤40 years) and 73 postmenopausal women (postmenopausal group, 27 aged >60 and 46 aged ≤60 years). ADC values of pelvic bone marrow in different age and menstrual status of adult women were compared. Results ADC value of pelvic bone marrow in premenopausal group was higher than that in postmenopausal group (P<0.001). In premenopausal group, ADC values in patients aged ≤40 years were higher than those >40 years (P<0.001). In postmenopausal group, no significant difference of ADC value was found between women ≤60 years and >60 years (P>0.05). ADC value of women's pelvic bone marrow showed negative correlation with age (rs=-0.581,P<0.001), and similar linear correlation was found in premenopausal group (rs=-0.301, P=0.032), whereas no significant correlation was detected between age and ADC value in postmenopausal women (P>0.05). Conclusion ADC value of pelvic bone marrow in adult women decrease with aging, and the tendency is more pronounced in premenopausal women.
