Abstract:
The aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic agreement between quantitative sonography of the calcaneum (QUS) and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) of the spine and femur. 153 women enrolled in our study and were divided in three groups. Group A was composed of women aged between 45 and 55, Group B of women of 56-66 and Group C of women 67-77. Mean height cm 164+/-2.8; mean weight kg 68+/-3.2. The most concordant results were obtained in group B. This suggests that QUS screening for osteoporosis may be suitable for the "younger" perimenopausal patient.
