Abstract: (30 Views)
There is a strong link between air pollution and a higher risk of being overweight or obese, reduced bone mineral density, and an increased likelihood of osteoporosis. This study examines the link between suspended particles and BMI in patients with osteoporosis and osteopenia. Data on particulate matter (PM) collected by the Abadan Environmental Protection Department from February 1, 2022, to August 22, 2023, was utilized in Abadan, Iran. Demographic information, along with the Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and T-scores of the patient's left femur and lumbar spine (L1-L4), as well as the Body Mass Index (BMI) of patients with osteoporosis, osteopenia, and those with normal bone density, were obtained from the files of individuals referred to the nuclear medicine center. In this study, out of 431 individuals referred to the density measurement center, 383 (88.9%) were women and 48 (11.1%) were men. The participants' total mean BMI was 28.78 ± 5.45, indicating that it was elevated across all three groups (normal, with osteopenia, and with osteoporosis). The mean concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 on the days of admission of the study subjects were 95.51 ± 126.05 and 188.62 ± 181.11 respectively. The investigation of the Pearson correlation between PM10, PM2.5, and BMI revealed no significant relationship. In this study, the average BMI among the groups observed (osteopenia, osteoporosis, and normal bone mineral density) was higher than the normal range, and there was no significant correlation between PM and BMI.
