Abstract

The present study were to observed the difference in Bone Mineral Density (BMD), physical functioning, and body composition parameters between Osteopenic and Osteoporotic women and the association between BMD and physical functioning, body composition parameters. Total 51 Indian women were divided into Osteoporotic (N = 21, 56.809 yrs. ± 1.794) and Osteopenic (N = 30, 39.933 yrs. ± 0.911) groups. Distal radius BMD measured through Quantity Ultrasound. Physical functioning test included grip strength, gait velocity; Body composition parameter included Fat Body Mass, Lean Body Mass. For statistical analysis, Independent sample t-test, linear regression, Receiver Operating Characteristics were computed. Osteoporotic group BMD, grip strength, gait velocity and lean mass were significantly lower than Osteopenic group. Only the fat mass didn't shown the significant difference between the groups. The results of regression shown that grip strength, velocity of gait, lean mass, fat mass significantly predict the BMD. This study concluded that BMD, physical functioning and body composition parameters of Osteoporotic women were lower than Osteopenic women. Physical functioning and body composition parameters significantly predict the BMD of both groups. Specifically, velocity of gait was a good predictor of BMD of Osteoporotic women.
