Abstract
The aim of this study was analyze the influence of body mass index (BMI) in bone mineral density (BMD) on the lumbar spine and hip in women with osteopenia or osteoporosis postmenopausal. This study demonstrated that both BMI and the FMI correlated with BMD of the hip and spine, but in the hip, these values were more significant. The conclusion is thus the total body mass exerts a greater influence on femoral BMD than lumbar spine, probably due to direct impact forces on the upper end of the hip and dissipation of forces through the physiological spinal curves vertebral. Despite the probable influence of total body mass as a protective factor in BMD, replacing the fat mass by muscle mass would present the same biomechanical effect with less impact on the overall organic health. Relation osteoporosis and osteoarthritis in postmenopausal women through assessment body composition by DXA and Postural evaluation. The importance of this assessment of these postural changes sets the likely commitment the bone structure and joint. The body components analyze define the questions multidisciplinary which should be used for the less articular overload with more effectiveness of the longitudinal forces above the bones. For an evaluation and prescription of more targeted therapies for bone health, it is essential to analyze the nutrition, absorption capacity and establishment of nutrients, and without proper nutrition and evaluation of clinical conditions, it is not possible to assess the real capacity fixing bone mineral. Thus, the fixing mineral medicines have no effect in BMD.
