Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, Vücut Kitle İndeksi (VKİ), Bel-Kalça Oranı (WHR), Bel-Yükseklik Oranı (WHtR), Konisite İndeksi (CI) ve Visceral Adipozite İndeksi (VAI) gibi çeşitli antropometrik ölçümlerin postmenopozal kadınlarda osteoporoz ile ilişkisini değerlendirmektedir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışmaya, 45-75 yaş arası 304 postmenopozal kadın katılmıştır. Kemik Mineral Yoğunluğu (KMD), İkili Enerji X-Işını Absorpsiyometrisi (DEXA) kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Antropometrik ölçümler (ağırlık, boy, bel çevresi, kalça çevresi) kaydedilmiş ve indeksler (VKI, WHR, WHtR, CI, VAI) hesaplanmıştır. Demografik ve tıbbi veriler toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: VKİ, lomber omurga (β = 0.503, p = 0.001) ve femoral boyun T-skorları (β = 0.413, p = 0.004) ile pozitif ilişki göstermiştir. WHR (β = 0.256, p = 0.002) KMD ile pozitif ilişkilidir, CI (β = -0.455, p = 0.001) ise femoral boyun T-skorları ile negatif korelasyona sahiptir. ROC eğrisi analizleri, düşük VKİ ve WHtR değerlerinin osteoporozu öngördüğünü, VKİ’nin en güçlü öngörücü olduğunu göstermiştir. VAI, osteoporoz risk kategorilerini anlamlı şekilde ayırt edememiştir (p > 0.05).
Sonuç: CI, WHR ve WHtR gibi antropometrik indeksler, VKİ ile birlikte kullanıldığında postmenopozal kadınlarda osteoporoz riskinin değerlendirilmesini artırmaktadır. Bu ölçümlerin klinik pratiğe entegrasyonu, osteoporoz tarama ve yönetimini özellikle çeşitli vücut kompozisyonlarına sahip popülasyonlarda iyileştirebilir.

Assessing the Impact of Anthropometric Measurements on Osteoporosis Risk in Postmenopausal Women

Abstract

Aim: This study evaluates various anthropometric measurements, including BMI, Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR), Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR), Conicity Index (C-index), and Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI), to determine their association with osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
Material and Method: In this cross-sectional study, 304 postmenopausal women aged 45-75 years from a gynecology and menopause clinic participated. Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) was used to assess Bone Mineral Density (BMD). Anthropometric measurements (waist circumference, hip circumference) were recorded, and indices (BMI, WHR, WHtR, C-index, VAI) were calculated. Demographic and medical histories were collected through questionnaires.
Results: BMI showed a positive association with lumbar spine (β = 0.503, p = 0.001) and femoral neck T-scores (β = 0.413, p = 0.004). WHR (β = 0.256, p = 0.002) was positively associated with BMD, while C-index (β = -0.455, p = 0.001) was negatively correlated with femoral neck T-scores. Lower BMI and WHtR values were found predictive for osteoporosis according to the ROC curve analysis. While BMI was found as the strongest predictor, VAI did not significantly differentiate between groups (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: For assessment of osteoporosis risk in postmenopausal women; anthropometric indices like CI, WHR, and WHtR may be combined with BMI. In populations with different body compositions, these measures in clinical practice can improve osteoporosis screening and management.
