TI  - The Bone Mineral Density Values of Women in Alanya and Regional Turkish Community: Cross-sectional Comparative Study
AB  - Aim: In this study; we aimed to investigate the BMD values of healthy Turkish womenliving in Alanya and the region and to compare them with the studies performed indifferent regions of our country.Methods: The DXA results of 376 patients who met the inclusion criteria from thehealthy participants who applied to Alanya Education and Research Hospital in 2017were evaluated.Results: The mean age of the 376 participants included in the study was 62.47, themean body mass index (BMI) was 28.62, and the mean vertebra t score was -1, 82 ±2.34 while the mean hip t score was -0.93 ± 1.02. There was a statistically significantdifference between the two cities in the 40-49 and 50-59 age groups. Kastamonumean BMD was higher. No statistically significant difference was found between thetwo cities in the 60-69 age group, whereas there was a statistically significant difference between the two cities. In the age groups of 70-79 and 80 years, and in the agegroup above. The mean values of the Alanya BMD were higher. There was no statistically significant difference between the two cities in both the 40-49 age group and the80 age group. However, there was a statistically significant difference between thetwo cities in the 50-59 years, 60-69 years and 70-79 age groups. The mean valuesof Alanya BMD were higher.Conclusion: regional outcomes and differences are important factors in interpretingBMD values. These differences may be the effect of locally utilizing the sunlight, butmay also be influenced by regional nutritional habits. In addition, the differences inDXA devices used for BMD measurement and technical standards should be takeninto consideration during measurements.
