Abstract:
Objective To explore the correlation between a body shape index(ABSI)and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and evaluate its screening value.Methods The clinical data of 285 postmenopausal women were retrospectively collected.The patients were divided into the normal(n=100),osteopenia(n=102),and osteoporosis(n=85)groups based on the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DXA)results,and their clinical characteristics were compared.Pearson's correlation and logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the correlation between ABSI and osteoporosis.The ABSI value for osteoporosis screening was evaluated using a receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The ABSI value was significantly higher in the osteoporosis group than in the normal and osteopenia groups(P<0.05),consistent with the results of the modified a body shape index for Chinese adults(CABSI)based on the body shape cha-racteristics of the Chinese population.Lumbar spine and bilateral hip bone mineral density were positively correlated with diastolic blood pressure(DBP),fasting blood glucose(FBG),triglyceride(TG),uric acid(UA),height,weight,waist circumference,and body mass index(BMI)(P<0.05)and negatively correlated with age,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),ABSI,and CABSI(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis revealed that the osteoporosis risk in the highest quartile groups of ABSI and CABSI was 3.084-and 3.541-fold that of the lowest quartile groups,respectively.The CABSI showed the highest sensitivity(77.1%),whereas weight exhibited the best diagnostic accuracy(area under the curve=0.691)and highest specificity(80.7%).Conclusion Elevated ABSI and CABSI scores are significantly associated with osteoporosis risk in postmenopausal women.Overall,CABSI shows a relatively high screening sensitivity and is therefore a potential indicator for early osteoporosis identification.
