Risk Factors Associated with Bone Marrow Adiposity Deposition in Postmenopausal Women in the CASH China Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigated the factors that influence BMAC.

Patients and methods

Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were applied to measure abdominal fat areas, liver fat content, erector muscle fat content, and BMAC of the L2-4 vertebrae. Sex hormone, adipokine, and inflammatory factor levels were measured on the same day.

Results

Although age, erector muscle fat content, estradiol, testosterone, and adiponectin/leptin levels showed correlations with BMAC in the correlation analysis, the equations obtained from the whole population by multivariate analysis were unclear. Patients were stratified according to BMAC quartiles, and differences were found in vBMD, age, estradiol, testosterone, and erector muscle fat content among the f
