Bone Density and Body Fat Distribution in Postmenopausal Women
BACKGROUND: In postmenopause there are changes in metabolism of bone tissue and consequent decrease of bone density. With ageing redistribution of fat occurs and an increase in body weight. Because of hormone changes in postmenopause fat is redistributed from gluteofemoral area to the abdominal regi...

description | BACKGROUND: In postmenopause there are changes in metabolism of bone tissue and consequent decrease of bone density. With ageing redistribution of fat occurs and an increase in body weight. Because of hormone changes in postmenopause fat is redistributed from gluteofemoral area to the abdominal region. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between bone density and a body mass index (BMI), and distribution of the fat tissue in women in postmenopause (WHR). METHODS: This research was prospective, and it included total of 83 women, 53 women were in the natural postmenopause and 30 women with the regular menstruation. RESULTS: BMI in women in postmenopause was statistically significantly higher than BMI in women with the regular menstruations (p= 0,005). There was no statistically significant difference between waist hip ratio in women in the postmenopause in relation to the women with the regular menstruations. In women in the postmenopause significant positive correlation between BMI and density of the neck of femur was found (Z and T-score) (p=0,019; p=0,005). There was also significant negative correlation between the WHR and density of the lumbal spine (backbone) in women in the postmenopause (Z-score) (p=0,043). The identical analysis in women with regular menstruations, negative correlation between the density of the lumbal spine was found again (Z-score) and WHR , but the same was highly expressed (p=0,041). The observed correlation between BMI and bone density in this group of women was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Based on the presented results we conclude that the higher the BMI (p=0,019; p=0,005) the higher density of the femoral neck postmenopausal women have, and lower bone density of the lumbar spine the higher ratio waist / hip (p = 0.043). In the women with regular menstruation bone density of the lumbar spine is the lower the higher the ratio of waist and hip (p=0,041), while there was no correlation between BMI and bone density in this group of women. |
