Objective:To establish a preliminary bone mineral density(BMD) database and the peak BMD of people from different age groups in Chongqing,China,through the measurement of BMD in 2 805 healthy women in Chongqing,and to investigate the effect of age and body mass index on BMD. Methods:Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DXA) was used to determine the BMD of the lumbar vertebrae(L1-4) and the femoral neck of healthy women who had physical examinations in Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children from June 2011 to November 2015. Results:The prevalence rate of osteoporosis in 2 805 healthy women was 11.44%,and it increased with age( χ2=403.800,P=0.000). The prevalence rate of osteoporosis in women over 50 years of age was 26.04%;there were significant differences in the proportions of women with normal bone mass and osteoporosis before and after the age of 50 years(P=0.000). The peak BMD(1.116±0.120) g/cm2 of lumbar vertebrae was reached at the age of 35 to 39 years,and the peak BMD(0.935±0.146) g/cm2 of femoral neck was reached at the age of 17 to 19 years. Conclusion:In this study,a DXA-measured BMD database of lumbar vertebrae and femoral neck of people in Chongqing was established.
