Abstract

Background: The correct interpretation of bone mineral density (BMD)measurement by dual energy x ray absorptiometry(DEXA) requires a population specific reference range. We collected data on age 20-35 years to obtain reference values of BMD for Isfahani women in order to make a population specific diagnosis of osteoporosis. Methods: In 660 healthy Isfahani women Volunteers (20-35 years) without illness, use of drugs or predisposing conditions to osteoporosis, the BMD (gr/cm2) of lumbar spine and non-dominant femur was measured by lunar DPX-IQ machine. Results: The mean BMD and its standard deviations at each site were calculated and compared with normative data from Caucasian US/North European women. No significant differences were detected between them. Conclusions: Bone mineral density measurements of these 660 healthy Isfahani women can serve as a reference guide for the diagnosis of osteoporosis in Isfahani women.
