TITLE: Relationship between the Components of the Metabolic Syndrome and Measures of Bone Mineral Density in Post-Menopausal Women

AUTHORS: Eman M. Alissa, Wafa A. Alnahdi, Nabeel Alama, Gordon A. Ferns

KEYWORDS: Bone Mineral Density, Metabolic Syndrome, Osteocalcin, Postmenopausal Women

JOURNAL NAME: Journal of Diabetes Mellitus, Vol.4 No.2, May 29, 2014

ABSTRACT: Aim: To examine the association between individual components of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and bone mineral density (BMD) among postmenopausal women. Methods: A total of 177 postmenopausal women participated in a cross-sectional study. They were interviewed to collect anthropometric and demographic characteristics. BMD was measured and biochemical parameters were estimated in fasting blood samples. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to examine the association between individual components of MetS and BMD. Results: Among 177 postmenopausal women, 116 (66%) had MetS. Women with MetS had significantly higher mean values of BMD and T scores at the total hip (P Conclusions: Body weight and osteocalcin were more strongly associated with bone mass than any other component of MetS in postmenopausal women. However, further studies seem to be needed to confirm their observation.
