Female standard bone mass

Bone mass refers to the content of bone tissue [bone minerals (calcium, phosphorus, etc.). ) and bone matrix (collagen, protein, inorganic salts, etc. )] per unit volume. Bone mass is used to indicate the health of bones. The bone mass of human body is different at different ages. To increase bone mass, we should not only supplement calcium, but also supplement collagen. Many people use bone mass to describe and express the thickness of bones, especially the bones of limbs. According to the strict sense of bone mass, bone mass is very important for any vertebrate, whether they are old or young. For people, today we find that bone mass is related to heredity, nutrition, exercise, sunshine and health care.

According to the current WHO standard, the standard value of female bone mineral density below-1.5 can be considered as osteopenia, below -2.5 can be diagnosed as osteoporosis, and below-1.0 can be considered as normal bone mineral density. If a woman is in menopause and her bone density is lower than-1.5, it can also be considered as osteoporosis, which needs clinical treatment and intervention to prevent osteoporosis from getting worse. Bone mineral density (BMD) below -2.5 is the gold standard for diagnosing osteoporosis at present, and dual-energy bone mineral density instrument, as an objective standard for evaluating the degree of osteoporosis at present, is still the most important standard in clinic. Other detection methods, including ultrasonic bone densitometer, are screening tools. At present, the examination of bone mineral density emphasizes the lumbar spine and hip joint, which are the two largest parts of the human body. Osteoporosis can also be diagnosed by examining calcaneus and carpal bones, but it may be necessary to guide the drug treatment plan of osteoporosis according to the bone mineral density of lumbar spine and hip joint during treatment.
