Objectives: Bone health in early adulthood, as individuals approach peak bone mass, plays a critical role in preventing osteoporosis later in life. This study aimed to investigate the associations between lifestyle and dietary factors, anthropometric measurements, and urinary bone resorption markers in young adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 100 healthy Korean adults (50 men and 50 women) in their 20s and early 30s. Bone mineral density (BMD), anthropometric measurements, dietary intake (24-hour recall), and urinary bone resorption indicators (deoxypyridinoline and N-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen) were analyzed. Variables were compared between the osteopenia and osteoporosis groups (OSTEO group: 30% men and 60% women) and the healthy control group. Results: Men in the OSTEO group were significantly taller than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Women in the OSTEO group had significantly lower body weight and body composition (muscle and body fat) than those in the normal group (P < 0.01). Men in the OSTEO group had a significantly higher intake of animal calcium (Ca) than those in the normal group (P < 0.05). Women in the OSTEO group had significantly higher dietary fiber, vitamin A, Ca, plant Ca, and potassium intake than did those in the normal group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in caffeinated beverage consumption, eating habits, or urinary bone resorption indicators between the OSTEO and control groups of either sex. Conclusions: In our study of young South Korean adults, we observed low bone density levels, with particularly low BMD in taller men and underweight women. We found a higher nutrient intake in the OSTEO group, indicating the possibility of reverse causality, a phenomenon often found in cross-sectional studies. Therefore, there is a need to further elucidate dietary factors related to osteoporosis in young adults through prospective cohort studies involving a larger population.

목 적 : 소아 간질 환아에서 장기간 항경련제를 투여시 저신장, 저칼슘혈증, 골밀도 저하가 올 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 골밀도 및 골표지자의 연구를 통해 항경련제 투여 환아의 골대사 질환의 위험을 조기 발견할 수 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 간질로 단국대학교병원 소아과에서 12개월 이상 항경련제 치료를 받고 있는 환자들 중 5-16세의 환아 30명을 대상으로 2003년 7월부터 2004년 2월 사이에 본 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 환아들을 carbamazepine과 valproic acid를 단독 투여군과 2가지 이상의 항경련제를 병합투여한 군으로 나누었고, 요추부 골밀도, 체질량지수, 골연령 및 골표지자들을 측정한 후, 남녀별, 연령별로 분류하여 대조군과 비교하였다. 결 과 : 총 30명이었으며, 검사 당시 평균연령은 $10.4{\pm}3.1$세(5-16세)이었다. Carbamazpine 단독 투여군 10명, valproic acid 단독 투여군 6명, 2가지 이상의 약물을 투여 받은 복합 투여군이 14명이었고 복합 투여군 중에는 뇌성마비 2명, 소두증 2명, 뇌연화증 1명, 선천성심장병 1명이 포함되었다. 각 투여군 간에는 요추 골밀도, 칼슘, 인, 알칼리성 인산화효소, $25(OH)D_3$, 오스테오칼신, 부갑상선호르몬, deoxypyridinoline, 골연령 등의 차이는 없었다. 남녀별, 연령별로 나누었을 때 5세 및 15세 여아에서 -2.5 SDS 미만의 의미있는 골밀도의 감소를 보였으며, 체질량지수는 5 percentile 미만의 현저한 감소를 보이고 있었고, 골 연령 및 신장도 감소되어 있었다. 이러한 감소를 보인 두 명의 환아 중 5세 환아는 심방중격결손증 및 소두증을 가지고 있었으며 15세 여아는 뇌성마비 및 뇌연화증이 있었고 좌하지 골절의 기왕력이 있었으며 두 환아 모두 2가지 항경련제를 4년 이상 투약 받았다. 골밀도는 체질량지수 및 골연령과 통계적으로 의미있는 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 결 론 : 장기간 항경련제를 복용하는 소아환자들에 있어 특히, 신체활동이 제한되어 있거나 다른 만성질환을 동반한 경우에는 골대사에 대한 세심한 주의가 필요하며 주기적으로 키, 몸무게를 측정하여 체질량지수 및 신장의 SDS를 산출하는 것이 골대사에 대한 간단하면서도 중요한 검사가 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The overall purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of level of isoflavones supplementation on bone metabolism in osteoporosis rats. The effects of level of isoflavones supplementation on calcium and osteocalcin blood level, femur/body weight, bone mineral density(BMD) and bone strength were inspected in this study. This study classified 28 of 12 weeks-old male Sprague Dawley rats which have osteoporosis caused by ovariectomy into four groups of 7 rats and made the subjects medicated them isoflavone. Group I was non-treatment after osteoporosis(control); Group II was low-dose isoflavone(20 mg/kg) feeding after osteoporosis; Group III was middle-dose isoflavone(40 mg/kg) feeding after osteoporosis; Group IV was high-dose isoflavone(80 mg/kg) feeding after osteoporosis; In the calcium and osteocalcin level as one of bone formation indexes, there was a statistically significant difference between the group II, III, IV compared to group I. In respect to the femur/body weight, there was a statistically significant difference between the group II, III, IV compared to group I. In the bone mineral density and bone strength test, there was a statistically significant difference between the group II, III, IV compared to group I. The above results suggests that isoflavone medicated is effective to prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Objective : Ssangwha-tang is a traditional medicine formula widely prescribed for a decrease of fatigue after an illness in Korea. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Ssangwha-tang fermented by Lactobacillus fermentum (SF) on osteoclast differentiation in vitro and on bone metabolism of an ovariectomized rat in vivo. Methods : Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity and staining were applied to evaluate the formation of osteoclasts. Ovariectomized rats were orally administrated with SF (30 ml/kg/day) for 12 weeks. Serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, triglyceride, phosphate, calcium levels were determined. Effect of SF on bone loss were studied by histological analysis and the measurement of bone mineral density. Results : SF significantly inhibited tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity and formation of osteoclasts in RAW264.7 cells stimulated by receptor activator for nuclear factor ${\kappa}B$ (NF-${\kappa}B$) ligand (RANKL). In addition, SF significantly decreased the level of triglyceride and increased the level of low-density lipoprotein. Moreover, the decrease of trabeculae of the femur was partially prevented in ovariectomized rats administrated with SF. Conclusions : SF treatment could prevent ovariectomy induced bone loss and its effects could be medicated by the inhibition of osteoclastogenesis.

Adolescents grow rapidly and have lots of schoolwork for entrance examination, so good nutrition is very important to them. However, adolescents tend to have a poor dietary behavior including frequent consumption of empty calorie foods and skipping breakfast. In particular, frequency of drinking milk has been low among Korean adolescents, thus their dietary calcium intakes has been low. Undesirable dietary behavior of adolescents is a risk factor for poor nutrition, obesity and chronic disease of them. Milk is a good source for calcium, high quality of protein, vitamin and bioactive compounds including anti-obesity component, thus it has been reported that milk helps improvement of dietary nutrient adequacy and physical growth, increment of bone mineral density, and prevention of obesity and chronic diseases. Therefore, milk consumption of adolescents should be encouraged in order to help their nutritional status, physical growth and health.

Objectives : This study was performed to investigate the change of bone mineral density(BMD) after 1 month Kirindiet therapy including very low calory diet(VLCD) in middle-aged obese women$(65>age{\geqq}40,\;BMI{\geqq}25)$ under normal $BMD(T-score{\leqq}0)$. Methods : We examined body weight, body fat, protein mass and BMD of 13 middle-aged obese women who visited to Kirin Oriental Hospital from Sep. 7. 2004 to Oct. 12. 2005 before and after 1 month Kirindiet therapy. Body weight, body fat and protein mass was checked by Inbody 4.0 and BMD was checked by quantitated computed tomography. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used for analyzing changes of body weight, body fat, protein mass and BMD before and after treatment. Results : Alter 1 month treatment body weight(-4.89Kg, -6.74%, p=0.001), body fat(-3.47Kg, p=0.001) and protein mass(-0.97Kg, p=0.006) was significantly reduced. BMD was significantly increased in all cases(+4.87mg/cc, +4.16%, p=0.001). Though body weight, body fat and protein mass were significantly reduced, BMD was significantly increased(p<0.01). Conclusions : In this study, we can conclude that after 1 month Kirindiet therapy including VLCD, BMD in middle-aged obese women under normal BMD was significantly increased inspite of reduction of body weight, body fat and protein mass.

골밀도 감소는 골다공증의 발생과 골절 위험성 증가 등을 유발하기 때문에 사회적인 건강문제로 대두된다. 골다공증은 사전 예방이 매우 중요하며, 골밀도가 감소되는 중년기 이후보다 골밀도가 형성되고 최고로 발달되는 시기인 청년기에 적극적인 관리와 예방이 중요하다. 골밀도에 영향을 주는 요인으로는 유전적요인, 신체적요인, 환경적 요인 등이 있다. 최근, 사회분위기가 많이 바뀌면서 생활습관, 식습관 등이 이전과는 달라지고 있다. 그러므로 이 연구를 통해 사회 분위기 변화에 따른 젊은 층의 생활습관 변화가 골밀도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 파악하고자 한다. 본 연구는 동남보건대 재학생 중 여자 134명, 남자 75명(총 209명)을 대상으로 하여 골밀도 측정과 생활습관에 대한 설문조사를 병행하였다. 골밀도 측정은 이중에너지 X-ray 흡수장치(DEXA)를 사용하여 넙다리뼈 목(femoral neck)과 허리뼈(Lumbar spine, L1 ~ L4)부위를 측정하였다. 또한 생활습관에 대해서는 미리 작성한 설문지에 답하도록 하였다. 자료의 분석은 spss프로그램을 사용하였으며, 골밀도와 신장, 체질량지수의 관계는 상관분석 및 다중회귀분석을 이용하였다. 음주, 흡연, 운동 유무 집단에서의 차이는 t-test를 이용하여 검정하였다. 그 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫째, 체질량지수(BMI)에 따른 골밀도(BMD)의 비교에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었으나, 음주, 흡연과 골밀도(BMD)와는 특별한 상관관계가 없었다. 둘째, 카페인 섭취량에 따라 골밀도가 낮아지는 경향이 나타났고, 특히 여성에게서 통계적으로 유의하였다. 또한 여성과 남성 모두 넙다리뼈 목에서 운동량과 통게적으로 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 셋째, 식사습관에 따른 골밀도의 관계에서는 여성의 허리뼈에서 유의한 관계가 있었으나, 남성의 허리뼈와 여성의 넙다리뼈에서는 통계적으로 유의한 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다(또한 다이어트와 골밀도도 통계적으로 유의한 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다). 그러므로 골다공증을 예방하기 위해서는 식후 1시간 이내에 카페인을 섭취하는 것을 삼가는 게 좋다. 또한 걷거나 뛰기 등의 운동을 지속적으로 하면서, 영양이 균형 잡힌 식사를 하는 것이 골다공증을 예방하는 데에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 대학생을 대상으로 혈색소와 골밀도를 평가하고, 혈색소와 골밀도 정량 분석 결과를 보기 위하여 시작되었다. 본 연구는 골밀도에 미치는 혈색소의 영향을 목적으로 하였다. 연구대상자는 20~30세의 건강한 대학생 52명을 직접 실험을 진행하였다. 골다공증은 전통적 노화 여성의 질병으로 간주되었지만, 점차 남성의 건강 문제로 되고 있다. 골다공증의 진단은 골밀도의 정량적 평가로 계산된다. 검사실에서 실시하는 혈액과 소변 검사는 주로 뼈의 신진 대사의 장애의 원인을 파악하기 위해 낮은 BMD 또는 취약성 골절에 사용된다. 본 연구는 성별에 따른 골밀도의 차이는 없었다. 평균 적혈구수, 혈색소 및 적혈구 용적은 남성에게서 상당히 높은 값을 나타내었다(p<0.01). 요추 척추, 골격근양, 기초대사량 사이의 상관 관계는 통계적으로 유의 한 수준에서 정의 관계로 나타났다(p<0.01). 다중회귀분석결과 혈색소는 골밀도에 51.7% 통계적 영향을 나타냈다. 이러한 연구 결과는 골밀도와 혈색소에서 유의한 관계를 이해하는데 유용하며, 혈색소 수준은 골밀도 수준을 예측하는데 강력한 인자이다. 결론적으로, 본 연구에서 낮은 Hb 값이 낮은 뼈 질량을 가진 피험자에서 유의한 결과를 보여, 낮은 Hb 값이 골밀도를 감소시키는 뼈 회전율 변화의 위험 요소로서의 규칙을 가짐을 의미한다고 사료된다.

To investigate the effect of dietary Ca levels on metabolic changes of Ca and skeleton in postmenopausal women, 10-month-old ovariectomized female rats were compared with 2 month old rats. The rats were fed either 0.2% or 1.2% Ca diets for 16 weeks. Food intake and weight gain as higher in rats fed high Ca diets and in ovariectomized rats. Apparent Ca absorption as higher, and Ca balance was lower in the low Ca groups. Vertebrae density was higher in old rats or those fed a high Ca diets. The old rats and ovariectomized rats showed decreased bone formation, increased bone resorption and kidney function deterioration resulting in increased urinary Ca excretion. Contradictory to the above observation, old rats and ovariectomized rats still showed higher bone mass and bone ash content. Therefore aging was not fully onging in 10-month-old rats. Bone weights, mineral contents, and mineral/wt ratio were lower in ovariectomized rats. Dietary Ca level did not affect urinary Ca excretion, urinary protein excretion, GFR, serum alkaline phosphatase, or urinary hydroxyporline excretion. This means that dietary Ca level did not influence kidney function or bone turnover. However Ca content and the ash content of femur, 4th vertebra, and scapula were increased in high Ca groups. Therefore, it is considered that decreased bone formation and accelerated bone resorption may account for the increased osteoporotic risk in women in menopause after middle age. However, Ca metabolism can be improved and bone components can be maintained if Ca is supplemented.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the fractal dimension (FD) measured at 2 bone sites (second cervical vertebra and mandible) on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The research question was whether FD could serve as an accessory tool to refer postmenopausal women for densitometric analysis. Therefore, the reliability and accuracy of FD were evaluated. Materials and Methods: In total, 103 postmenopausal women were evaluated, of whom 52 had normal bone mineral density and 51 had osteoporosis, according to dual X-ray absorptiometry of the lumbar spine and hip. On the CBCT scans, 2 regions of interest were selected for FD analysis: 1 at the second cervical vertebra and 1 located at the mandible. The correlations between both measurements, intra- and inter-observer agreement, and the accuracy of the measurements were calculated. A P value less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance for all tests. Results: The mean FD values were significantly lower at the mandibular region of interest in osteoporotic patients than in individuals with normal bone mineral density. The areas under the curve were 0.644 (P=0.008) and 0.531 (P=0.720) for the mandibular and vertebral sites, respectively. Conclusion: FD at the vertebral site could not be used as an adjuvant tool to refer women for osteoporosis investigation. Although FD differed between women with normal BMD and osteoporosis at the mandibular site, it demonstrated low accuracy and reliability.
