Low bone mineral density linked to colorectal adenomas: a cross-sectional study of a racially diverse population.

摘要: Background: Epidemiologic studies suggest that lower bone mineral density (BMD) is associated with an increased risk for colorectal adenoma/cancer, especially in postmenopausal women. The aim of this study to investigate the association between osteopenia and/or osteoporosis and adenomas patients from a New York community hospital. Methods: We performed cross-sectional observational on 200 who underwent screening colonoscopies scan (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) at Nassau University Medical Center November 2009 March 2011. Among these, 83 were identified as (T score −2.5 or below) 67 −1.0 −2.5). Logistic regression model was assess adenomas. Results: osteoporosis, mean ages 59.1 years [standard deviation (SD) =8.9] 61.5 (SD =8.9), respectively. There 94.0%, 85.1% 74.7% women, respectively, normal BMD, groups. prevalence 17.9% 25.3% groups, 18.0% BMD group. After adjustment potential confounders including age, sex, race, body mass index (BMI), tobacco use, alcohol history diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, found be presence more than 2, compared No significant associations prevalence, size, location Conclusions: Our suggests significantly multiple Prospective larger sample size are warranted future.
