The Research Of The Correlation Between Hypertension And Bone Mineral Density

Objective:To investigate the correlation between hypertension and bone mineral density .Method:There were 62 cases of hypertension and 60 cases of normotensive, which were divided into hypertensive group and normotensive group. The weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference, weight and body mass index were measured in all cases. It was also detected upper and lower limbs , trunk , the whole body bone body mineral content, bone mineral density and T values, Z values by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.Result:The BMD indexes of arms, legs, trunk, total body were lower than those in the normal blood press group(P<0.01). After adjustment of age , height , weight , waist circumference and hip circumference , systolic blood pressure was correlated with the BMC and BMD of legs, trunk and total body (P<0.05). But no correlation was found between diastolic blood pressure and these parameters.Conclusion : It is suggested that the positive control of blood pressure, especially systolic blood pressure may help control the occurrence or development of osteoporosis in hypertensive patients.
