Comparison of Singh index accuracy and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry bone mineral density measurement for evaluating osteoporosis
Background: The Singh index is an inexpensive simple method to evaluate bone density, commonly used to assess osteoporosis is based on the radiological appearance of the trabecular bone structure of the proximal femur on a plain antero-posterior (AP) radiograph. The purpose of this study was to compare between Singh index and bone mineral density measurement using dual energy X-ray abs...
متن کاملComparison of the extent of exercise effects on bone mineral density of boys of Ilam city
Background: The extent of Bone Minerals Density (BMD) gained during childhood is good index for BMD in adulthood. Recent studies imply that exercise increases BMD however, there are rare studies about the best ages in which exercise gives the highest effect on children’s BMD. This study was carried out with the aim of comparing the extent of exercise effect on various ages on BMD of boys of Ila...
متن کاملComparison of Bone Mineral Density in Lumbar Spine between Athletic and Non-Athletic Premenopausal Women
Background & Aims: The purpose of the present research was to compare the bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spine between athletic and non-athletic premenopausal women. Methods: Fifteen female athletes (runner) with the mean age of 33.80 ± 4.81 years, mean height of 164.13 ± 5.31 cm, mean weight of 57.33 ± 4.22 kg, and mean body mass index (BMI) of 21.41 ± 2.21 kg/m2 and 15 female non-athlet...
متن کاملReproducibility of bone mineral density measurement in daily practice.
BACKGROUND Bone mineral density (BMD) measurements are frequently performed repeatedly for each patient. Subsequent BMD measurements allow reproducibility to be assessed. OBJECTIVE To examine the reproducibility of BMD by dual energy x ray absorptiometry (DXA) and to investigate the practical value of different measures of reproducibility in a group of postmenopausal women. METHODS Ninety f...
متن کاملMeasurement of Bone Mineral Density in Children With Cancer
To the Editor: The article by Aldhafiri et al1 raises several clinically relevant issues. As addressed in the principle objective given in the study, measurement of bone mineral density in children by dualenergy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) requires adjustment for height and weight, therefore providing validation of our observations reported in 2009.2 Secondly, it is important to establish local ...
