Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the quality score (TBS) and bone mineral density (BMD) in practically healthy Ukrainian men.

Methods: There were examined 191 healthy men aged from 30 to 89 years (average age 57,4 ± 13,7, average growth (174,4 ± 6,8) cm, and average body weight 76.6 ± 9,3 kg). Depending on the age all surveyed men were divided into six groups by decades: 30–39 (19 persons), 40–49 (34), 50–59 (48), 60–69 (48), 70–79 (34), 80–89 (8). By means of dual energy X-ray densitometry method («Prodigy, GE Lunar», Madison, USA) we measured BTMD at the lumbar spine (LI-LIV) level, femoral neck, entire skeleton and ultradistal part of the forearm. Indicator TBS for the lumbar spine we deter­mined using the procedure TBS iNsight («Med-Imaps», Pessac, France).

Results: significant decline of TBS LI–LIV begins in men since 60 years and amount 1,152 ± 0,18 vs 1,263 ± 0,12 in men 30–39 years of age group (p = 0,01), and 1,273 ± 0, 12 in group of 40–49 years (p <0,001). Also in men we have identified decreasing with age BMD of the femoral neck (F = 5,38; p <0,001), the entire skeleton (F = 7,75; p < 0,001) and ultradistal part of forearm bones (F = 3,34; p = 0.007). Reliable correlation TBS index with age was found (r = –0,25; p = 0,0007). However the relationship between TBS and BMD indeces on the lumbar spine and femoral neck was not revealed.

Conclusions: age has a significant impact on the variability of TBS index and its structural and functional state. According to results of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry reliable decreasing of BMD in men with age one may observe at the level of the femoral neck, entire skeleton and bones of the forearm.
