- Abstract
Objective To explore the rule of the changes of bone mineral density (BMD) and the related geometric and mechanical parameters of the proximal femur by gender and age in Mongolian and Han people in the area, by measuring their BMD and geometric and mechanical parameters of the proximal femur. Methods BMD results of 1000 people from the DXA work station were selected, including 500 cases of Mongolian and 500 cases of Han nationality. Geometric and mechanical parameters of the proximal femur were analyzed using advanced orthopedics software configured in the DXA system. Results The peak bone mass appeared in Mongolian and Han were different in age. The older the age was, the lower the BMD (P < 0.01). CSMI and CSI of the proximal femur decreased along with aging in Mongolian males and females. HAL and FNW appeared no change in gender and age (P > 0.05). FSI and NSA decreased with aging in the female (P < 0.05) but not in the male (P >0.05). The geometric mechanics parameters of the proximal femur were not different in males between Han and local Mongolian. They were significantly different in females between Han and local Mongolian (P < 0.05). NSA, HAL, and FNW slightly increased along with aging. Conclusion BMD of the proximal femur in Mongolian and Han has its own characteristics in gender and age. BMD decreases with the growth of age. The geometry parameters of the proximal femur arc different in gender and age.
