Purpose: This study was to identify the influencing factors in postmenopausal women's bone mineral density (BMD). Method: The sample for the study was 107 postmenopausal women who took the BMD test. For BMD measurement, lumbar spine BMD(L2-5) was measured by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA). Data was collected by questionnaires on the selected variables such as reproductive factors and life style factors. Result: In reproductive factors, parity shows significant differences with BMD (F=4.16, p=.02). In life style factors, diet (F=3.01, p=.05) and exercise (F=7.39, p=.00) show significant differences with BMD. Excercise, diet and parity accounted for 42.0% of the influencing factors in Postmenopausal Women's Bone Mineral Density. Conclusion: The influencing factors in postmenopausal women's bone mineral density were excercise, diet and parity. In this paper, it is suggested that the influence of reproductive and life style factors in postmenopausal women's BMD should be studied by long term and needs repeated research. This study can be used as foundation material for nursing education program development for osteoporosis prevention and improvement.

With the aging of society a great deal of interest is being placed on the value of longitudinal data in evaluating physiological losses. We present data on test-one/test-two reliability and reproducibility for measures of training, bone density from a longitudinal study of master athletes. Fifty-two males (mean age at test $1=58.2{\pm}9.8\;years$) and thirty-two females ($54.4{\pm}8.8\;years$) were selected from the study population. Bone mineral density was determined using DEXA (Hologic 1500). The characteristics of the subjects are presented below as $means\;{\pm}\;S.D$. The data was imported into the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS 9.0, Chicago, IL). Paired t-tests were performed between visit 1 and visit 2 in subjects. Pearson correlations were performed. The results of this study indicate the measures of training history, body mass and bone density are reasonably stable and reproducible. We conclude that body composition and bone density parameters are stable and reproducible over time in active older subjects. Physiologic measures in master athletes are fairly stable, and reproducible over time Longitudinal studies investigating age-related changes in master athletes need to be conducted on a time schedule of greater than two years.

골다공증 환자를 대상으로 이중 에너지 X선 흡수(DEXA) 방법을 이용한 골밀도 영상에서는 T-score를 측정하고 자기공명영상 기법 중 확산강조영상에서는 신호대 잡음비와 현성 확산 계수를 측정한 다음 T-score변화에 따라 신호대 잡음비와 현성 확산 계수가 어떻게 변화하는지 알아보았다. 골다공증이 없는 건강한 사람 30명과 2009년 1월부터 2009년 12월까지 허리 통증으로 내원한 환자 중 단순 방사선 촬영에서 골다공증 소견이 보이는 환자 30명을 대상으로 Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA)를 이용하여 척추 L1-L4부위의 T-score를 측정 후 각각의 척추에 대해서 골감소증, 골다공증으로 분류하였다. 1.5T MR scanner를 이용하여 b value를 $400\;s/mm^2$으로 획득한 확산강조영상에서는 L1-L4 네 부위에서 신호 강도(signal intensity)측정을 하였고 현성 확산 계수(apparent diffusion coefficient; ADC) map 영상에서는 현성 확산 계수를 측정하였다. 정량적 분석방법으로 관심영역의 T-score와 신호대 잡음비(signal to noise ratio)와 ADC를 구하고 평균화 하여 관심영역에서 T-score변화에 따른 신호대 잡음비와 현성확산계수의 변화를 비교하였고 T-score에 의해 골감소증, 골다공증으로 분류하여 그룹별로 신호대 잡음비와 현성확산계수의 변화도 비교하였다. 정성적인 분석방법은 육안적으로 건강한 그룹과 골감소증, 골다공증그룹의 T1강조 시상면 영상에서 요추체중 L4 부위에서의 신호강도 차이를 알아보았다. 정량적 분석에서 골감소증 그룹과 골다공증그룹은 T-score가 감소함에 따라 확산강조영상에서의 신호대 잡음비가 감소하여 나타났으며 골다공증 그룹에서 신호대 잡음비가 가장 크게 감소하였다. ADC map영상에서는 골감소증그룹과 골다공증 그룹은 T-score가 감소함에 따라 현성 확산 계수는 감소해서 나타났고 건강한 그룹과 골감소증 및 골다공증 그룹의 경우 현성 확산 계수 차이는 골다공증 그룹에서 현성 확산 계수가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 정성적 분석에서는 건강한 그룹과 골감소증 및 골다공증 그룹에서 L4 부위의 신호강도는 건강한 그룹에서 가장 낮게 나타났고 골다공증그룹에서 높게 나타났다. 골다공증이 진행 될수록 신호대 잡음비와 현성 확산계수는 감소하고 T1강조 영상에서는 신호강도가 증가 하는 결과를 얻었고 자기공명검사가 골다공증 진단에 유용함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 일부 한국 대학생들의 골밀도와 생활습관간의 관련성을 규명하고자 수행되었다. 먼저 이중에너지 방사선흡수법(DEXA)을 이용하여 총 121명의 대학생들의 요추와 대퇴골두의 골밀도(BMD)를 측정하였고, 생활습관에 관련된 설문은 자기기입식 질문지법을 이용하여 2014년 9월부터 동년 10월까지 실시하였다. 연구대상자의 일반적인 특성과 골밀도는 빈도분석을 통해 분포를 파악하였고, 연구대상자의 신체적 특성, 식이습관, 운동습관, 생활습관에 따른 골밀도(T-Score)의 차이를 검정하기 위하여 교차분석(Chi-square test)을 하였다. 수집한 자료는 SPSS 18.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 대퇴골과 요추의 골밀도는 평균 $0.993{\pm}0.14g/cm^2$이었고, 골다공증은 없었으며, 골감소증은 30명(24.8%), 정상은 91명(75.2%)이었다. 체질량지수(BMI)가 높을수록, 생리주기가 규칙적인 여대생이, 주 150시간 이상 걷기를 시행한 군이, 청소년기에 규칙적으로 운동을 한 경험이 있는 군이 골감소증의 비율이 상대적으로 낮았고, 일 기준 전자기기를 6시간 이상 사용한 군이 골감소증의 비율이 상대적으로 높았는데, 이는 통계적으로 유의한 관계를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 대학생의 신체적인 특성과 식이 운동 생활습관, 특히 청소년기의 운동습관은 골건강과 관련성이 있다. 추후 청소년과 대학생에 대한 식이 운동 생활습관에 관한 가이드라인을 제시하고, 이를 정규 교육과정과 연계하는 방안을 마련하는 것이 필요할 것으로 생각한다.

이 연구는 노인 여성에 대한 저항성 훈련 시 혈류제한(blood flow restriction)을 적용할 경우 저강도 운동을 통해서도 하지의 근력과 근육량을 효과적으로 향상시킬 수 있는지를 검증하기 위해 수행되었다. 총 16명의 노인 여성(연령 70.9±4.6)을 저강도 운동 집단(30% 1 RM, n=8)과 고강도 운동 집단(75% 1 RM, n=8)으로 구분하였다. 두 그룹 모두 우측 하지는 대퇴 근위부에 혈류제한용 커프(cuff)를 착용한 상태에서, 좌측 하지는 혈류제한 장치 없이 동일한 운동을 수행한 후 트레이닝 전·후의 근육량과 근력 변화를 분석하였다. 저항성 운동 프로그램은 leg press, leg extension, leg curl을 12회 반복으로 3세트씩 총 10주간 주 2회 실시하였다. 자기공명영상분석기(MRI)로 근 횡단면적(CSA)과 근육량을 산출하였으며, 체성분 변화는 이중에너지 방사흡수 계측기(DEXA), 근력 평가는 등속성 운동 장비(HUMAC Norm)를 이용하였다. 연구를 통해 10주간의 저항성 훈련 후 혈류제한을 적용한 상태에서 고강도 운동을 수행한 집단의 대퇴사두근 근횡단면적(15.2%, p<.001)과 근육량(13.8%, p<.001)이 증가하였으며 이러한 긍정적 변화는 혈류제한 상태에서 저강도로 운동한 집단의 횡단면적(9.8%, p<.001)과 근육량(6.9%, p<.001) 변화에서도 확인할 수 있었다. 한편, 근력은 운동 수행만으로도 향상되었으나 혈류를 제한할 경우 향상도가 더 높은 경향을 보였다. 따라서 이 연구는 혈류제한을 적용할 경우 저항성 운동을 저강도로 수행하더라도 노인 여성의 근 비대와 근력 증가에 효과적으로 작용할 가능성을 시사한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to -retrospectively describe the childhood sports activity level of Korean adult men and women and to determine whether a higher level of childhood sports activity was positively associated with adult bone mineral density. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 100 Korean men (n=40) and women (n=60) was completed. Participants completed a detailed lifetime sports activity questionnaire and had their bone mineral density of the femur and lumbar spine measured using dual energy x-ray densitometry (DEXA). All sports activities were classified into four categories of peak strain score on the basis of ground reaction forces (GRF). Results: During the age of high school, women and men who participated in a high intensity sports activity demonstrated higher bone density in the femur site after adjustment for the effects of body weight, fat body mass, lean body mass, the level of calcium intake, and breast feeding period than those who did not participate in sports activity at all. Conclusion: These results highlight the need to participate in high intensity sports activity during high school age as a means of increasing peak bone mass in the femur site.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the cost-effectiveness of four medications for treating and preventing osteoporosis -HRT therapy(conjugated equine estrogen 0.625mg for 25 days and medroxyprogesterone acetate 5mg for 01112 days), Alendronate(10mg and 5mg), Active Vitamin D(Calcitriol), and Calcium. Total costs include the direct medical cost -examination fee, consultation fee, prescription fee, fee for preparing medications, and the price of pharmaceuticals- and the indirect cost of patients such as traffic expenses and time cost. In addition, the costs of monitoring in adverse reactions are added. The effects of four medications are expressed as BMD(Bone Mineral Density) percent change measured by DEXA(Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) in lumbar spine(L2-L4) and femoral neck site. A mixed model based on meta analysis provides the estimates of effectiveness, which are then appled to the hypothetical cohort consisting of postmenopausal women at the age of 50-59. HRT therapy is the most cost-effective medication at 172,433.64 won (lumbar spine site) and 546,328.28 won (femoral neck site) per BMD percent change for osteoporosis. Alendronate 10mg is more cost-effective than Alendronate 5mg as 345,971.23 won and 378,441.63 won per lumbar BMD percent change at 0.991ｇ/$cm^2$, respectively. Alendronate 10mg is more cost-effective than Alendronate 5mg as 1,329,257.89 won and 1,467,291.23 won per femoral neck BMD percent change at 0.834ｇ/$cm^2$, respectively.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of sodium cholride supplementation on bone metabolism in female rats consuming a low calcium diet. Twenty five female rats were divided into three dietary groups (control Na : 0.1038%, 1% Na : 1.036%, 2% Na : 2.072%). All experimental diets contained 0.27% Ca and were fed to rats with deionized water for 7 weeks. Bone mineral density(BMD) and bone mineral content(BMC) of total body, spine and femur were measured using energy x-ray absorptiometry(DEXA) by small animal software. Then Ca efficiency was calculated from BMD and BMC. Serum Ca, P, Na and urine Ca, P, Na were determined. Urinary pyridinoline, serum ALP were measured to monitor bone resorption. Following 7 weeks, sodium cholride supplemented groups had higher urinary Ca excreteion, urinary pyridinoline, crosslinks value and serum ALP. There was no significant difference in case of serum Ca among all groups. Sodium chloride supplemnted groups had lower Ca effciency of total, spine and femur BMD and BMC than that of control group. In conclusion high salt intake not only increases urinary Ca excretion as urinary Na excretion does but also increase bone resorption and decrease Ca efficiency of each bone. It is been suggested that high salt intake may be harmful for bone maintenance. Therfore, the decrease of salt intake to the level of recommendation would be desirable.

Vitamin K takes part in both blood coagulation and bone metabolism via the carboxylation of glutamate residues. This study was performed to examine the relationship between dietary phylloquinone intake and bone mineral denisty(BMD) among postmenopausal Korean women (n=70, age=56). The bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and femoral neck were measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA). Daily intakes of phylloquinone and calcium were assessed using a food frequency questionnarie. As a results, body weigh, height and body mass index were not correlated with BMD. However, the number of years since monopause and daily intakes of calcium were significantly correlated with BMD. Although daily intakes of phylloquinone were not correlated with BMD, women with relatively high BMD consumed more phylloquinone than those with lower BMD. The average daily phylloquinone and calcium intakes of the 70 postmenopausal women were 725.8ug/day, ten times more than the American RDA and 406.7mg/day, 1/2 of the American RDA for those nutrients, respectively. The major food sources for phylloquinone were seaweed, spinach and kale, whereas the food sources of calcium were milk, sardines, and yogrut. Further studies are needed to clarify the effects of dietary phyloquinone on its serum levels and BMD.
