Osteoporosis is a common disorder characterized by low bone mass and reduced bone quality that affects the bone strength negatively and leads to increased risk of fracture. Bone mineral density (BMD) has been the standard instrument for the diagnosis of osteoporosis and the determination of fracture risk. Despite the approximation of the bone mass, BMD does not provide information about the bone structure. Trabecular bone score (TBS), which provides an indirect evaluation of skeletal microarchitecture, is calculated from dual X-ray absorptiometry and a simple and noninvasive method that may contribute to the prediction of osteoporotic fractures in addition to the measure of bone density. The goal of this study was to determine the mean TBS values in healthy postmenopausal women and the overall association between TBS and demographic features, bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and femoral neck and bone mineral density to body mass index ratio (BMD/BMI) of the lumbar spine. Fifty-three postmenopausal healthy women participated. The bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and femoral neck were measured dual X-ray absorptiometry. Anteroposterior lumbar spine acquisitions were used to calculate TBS for L1-L4. Age, height, weight, BMI and the ratio of BMD to BMI, which was considered to be a simple tool for assessing fracture risk in especially obese individuals, were calculated. The relationship between TBS and other variables was examined using Spearman's rank correlation coefficients. Mean BMD of the lumbar spine and the femoral neck were 0.945 ± 0.133 and 0.785 ± 0.112 g/cm2, respectively (Table 1). Mean TBS was 1.354 ± 0.107. There was a significant positive moderate correlation between TBS and total lumbar BMD/BMI ratio (r=0.595, pTBS values of postmenopausal women were negatively correlated with age and BMI and positively with bone mineral density and BMD/BMI ratio. The ratio between lumbar BMD and BMI presented a stronger correlation with TBS than that of BMD with TBS. Because of the better correlation, the BMD/BMI ratio may be used as a simple tool for the assessment of the risk of fractures. Further investigation may be needed to evaluate the factors influencing exercise intervention on TBS on this population of patients.
