“…There are many researchers who question the precision of peripheral bone mineral density measurements. Previous studies have reported that QUS parameters cannot be used to predict decreased BMD and that the sensitivities and specificities of QUS parameters are not sufficient to allow it to be used as an alternative to DXA [31-33], which is currently the gold standard for measuring BMD [34,35]. However, most psychiatric clinics do not have access to DXA equipment and DXA scanning is time consuming, costly and exposes patients to radiation, rendering it less than ideal for a large population survey.…”

BackgroundThere have been a limited number of studies comparing bone mass between patients with schizophrenia and the general population. The aim of this study was to compare the bone mass of schizophrenia patients with that of healthy subjects in Japan.MethodsWe recruited patients (n = 362), aged 48.8 ± 15.4 (mean ± SD) years who were diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-IV). Bone mass was measured using quantitative ultrasound densitometry of the calcaneus. The osteosono-assessment index (OSI) was calculated as a function of the speed of sound and the transmission index. For comparative analysis, OSI data from 832 adults who participated in the Iwaki Health Promotion Project 2009 was used as representative of the general community.ResultsMean OSI values among male schizophrenic patients were lower than those in the general population in the case of individuals aged 40 and older. In females, mean OSI values among schizophrenic patients were lower than those in the general community in those aged 60 and older. In an analysis using the general linear model, a significant interaction was observed between subject groups and age in males.ConclusionsOlder schizophrenic patients exhibit lower bone mass than that observed in the general population. Our data also demonstrate gender and group differences among schizophrenic patients and controls with regard to changes in bone mass associated with aging. These results indicate that intervention programs designed to delay or prevent decreased bone mass in schizophrenic patients might be tailored according to gender.

“…A review of various clinical calcaneal QUS devices can be found elsewhere. 24,25 To examine the clinical utility of the calcaneal QUS system, Dane et al 26 and Trimpou et al 27 conducted studies on postmenopausal women that portrayed a moderate association of both BUA and SOS on the aBMD of the lumbar spine and femur, as assessed by DXA. In the case of premenopausal women, SOS was seen to be significantly correlated to aBMD at the lumbar spine and femur.…”

“…The BMD measurement is accepted by the WHO as the gold standard for the diagnosis of osteoporosis. In another study, we have found a poor to moderate correlation between Quantitative ultrasound parameters (BUA, SOS, SI) and femoral and spinal BMD in pre and postmenopausal women (5). Tuna et al also reported, that the diagnostic value of tibial SOS did not seem to be high for discriminating between normal and low BMD at the femur and lumbar spine in postmenopausal women (6).…”
