Abstract

Background and objectives: Dual X ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the preferred method for bone mineral density (BMD) studies. Quantitative ultrasonography (QUS), however, has the advantage in that it is less expensive, portable and does not expose the individuals to radiation. These advantages have proposed a role in screening studies to QUS. In this study, we aimed to assess relationship between these two methods.Material and methods: 420 menopausal women were recruited. BMD values were determined with both QUS and DXA methods. The association between BMD measurements and T scores calculated by the two methods and the relationship between the two T scores measured in each participants were assessed. The agreement between the two T scores calculated by the QUS and DXA was assessed by Kappa test in lumbar and femoral neck region. Results: With QUS, the prevalence of OSTEOPOROSIS (T scores < -2.5) in calcaneus was 8%. With DXA, the prevalence of OSTEOPOROSIS in lumbar and femoral neck regions was 31.1% and 13.6%, respectively. Kappa as measure of agreement between the two methods was 0.29-0.35. The association between crude data obtained from the two methods was 0.34 and 0.59.Conclusion: A moderate correlation was found between the two methods. Though QUS could not replace DXA in definitive diagnosis of OSTEOPOROSIS, it may be used in screening studies.
