ABSTRACT
Introduction: Osteoporosis is a skeletal condition with characterizes by the decrease in bone density normally mineralized. The reduction of bone density reduces bone strength, increasing bone fragility and they’re fore increasing fractures (Glasser, Kaplan). Material and methods: We studied 75 patients of densitometry service of the National Rehabilitation Center, comparing bone densitometry with risk factor, laboratory and cardiovascular assessment, to establish a metabolic diagnosis and measure the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal impact. Results: All subjects were females. Age rates from 43 to 79 mean 43 years. Sedentary 90%, exercise 10% Lacteal administration 72% positive, 28% negative. Calcium intakes positive 68%, negative 32%, High cholesterol 38 (76%), High triglycerides 8 (16%). High glucose 4 (8%). Urinary tract infection 39 (78%). Framingham index 96% (0), 4% (2) Densitometry: Osteopenia 25, osteoporosis 25 normal 25 patient. Mineral bone lose 11% minimal, maximal 49%. Aerobics capacity rate from 3 to 10 METS, mean 6 METS. Statistics: ANOVA. Discussion: In 1997 Huxley establishes that bone reconstruction is a dynamic process necessary for calcium metabolism in order to control extracellular functions, model and maintain bone elasticity. Osteoporosis has a multifactorial etiology. Estrogen loss elevates interleukin I produces renal dysfunction, vitamin D deficiency and alteration of bowel response. Bone response represents a percentage of fracture risk its impact assessed throw bone densitometry with a normal value of 1.0 g/cm2. Conclusion: Bone densitometry allows to evaluate bone density and in a indirect way cardiovascular and metabolic health.REFERENCES
