Background: To analyze the current situation and influencing factors of bone mass abnormalities in postmenopausal women in Tibet, in order to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of abnormal bone mass in local postmenopausal women. Methods: A total of 229 Tibetan postmenopausal women were randomly selected from six counties by multi-stage stratified random sampling method. Multiple Logistic regression were used to analyze the status and influencing factors of bone mass abnormalities in Tibetan postmenopausal women. Results: Among 229 postmenopausal Tibetan women, 81(35.4%) had normal bone mineral density, 126 (55.0%) had osteopenia, and 22(9.6%) had osteoporosis. Altitude is the influencing factor for osteopenia and osteoporosis, creatinine and hypertensive heart disease are the influencing factors for osteoporosis. Conclusion: Tibetan postmenopausal women have higher rates of bone mass abnormalities in Tibet, but lower prevalence of osteoporosis. High altitude is a protective factor for osteopenia and osteoporosis, while low creatinine and hypertensive heart disease are risk factors for osteoporosis. We suggest that relevant departments should take targeted measures to reduce the prevalence of bone mass abnormalities in Tibetan postmenopausal women and improve their quality of life.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
