骨质疏松症是老年人最常见的疾病之一，其特点是骨量减少，从而增加了骨骼骨折的风险。目前的研究旨在检查59名绝经后妇女骨量的决定因素。在基线时获得有关人体测量、营养和身体活动因素的信息。在基线和8个月后通过计算机断层扫描（CT）测量手臂和腿部的骨量。研究表明，CT扫描仪是一种有效、精确的测量骨量的仪器，在8个月的时间里发现了明显的骨质流失。横断面结果表明，骨量的主要决定因素是年龄和体力活动。
Osteoporosis, one of the most prevalent diseases of the aged, is characterized by a reduced bone mass which increases the risk for skeletal fracture. The current research was designed to examine determinants of bone mass in 59 postmenopausal women. Information was obtained at baseline concerning anthropometric, nutritional, and physical activity factors. Bone mass in the arm and leg was measured by a computerized tomography (CT) scanner at baseline and 8 months later. The study revealed that the CT scanner is an effective, precise instrument for measuring bone mass, and significant bone loss was found over the 8-month period. The cross-sectional results indicated that the primary determinants of bone mass were age and physical activity.
