摘要
目的了解中老年抑郁症病人的骨密度 (BMD)和骨质疏松 (OP)的发生率。方法采用双能X线骨密度仪对 4 4例中老年抑郁症病人 (抑郁组 )和 4 0例中老年健康对照者 (对照组 )进行BMD测定。结果抑郁组和对照组骨量减少及OP的发生率分别为 86 .4 0 %和 17.5 0 % ,两组比较 ,差异有显著性意义 (P <0 .0 5 ) ;抑郁组病人BMD明显低于对照组 (P <0 .0 5 )。结论中老年抑郁症存在骨质疏松性骨折的潜在危险 ,加强中老年抑郁症病人骨折的预防和护理具有重要意义。
Objective To explore the bone matrix density(BMD)and incidence of osteoporosis in middle-aged and senile patients with depression. Methods BMD was measured in 44 cases of middle-aged and senile patients with depression and 40 healthy controls by dual energy X-ray bone matrix densitometry. Results The incidence of osteoporosis in two groups was 86.40 % and 17.50 % respectively (P<0.05). BMD in middle-aged and senile patients with depression was significantly lower than in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion There were risk factors leading to osteoporotic fracture in the middle-aged and senile patients with depression.
