Objective To investigate the correlations between healthy lifestyle behaviors and BMD in healthy community-dwelling men and women of different ages groups underwent scheduled physical examination. Methods Using Sahara clinical ultrasound bone densitometer,BMD was measured in 4185 in healthy community-dwelling adults who attended scheduled physical examination in 2013. Lifestyle behaviors information was obtained using a questionnaire. Results In the survey population, 66% had normal BMD and 34% had abnormal BMD; with 2. 29% had osteoporosis (OP). The percentage of women with normal BMD was lower than that of men, of statistical significance (P < 0. 05); osteoporosis (OP) incidence in women was 2. 72%, and in men was1. 91%, of statistical significance (P < 0. 05); BMD reduction in women and men was more common in those aged 40 years and over. Lifestyle behaviors associated with BMD, where among those with unhealthy lifestyle 68% had abnormal BMD (OR 4. 8595% CI 3. 14- 6. 83 in logistic regression analysis, P < 0. 005). Conclusion The percentage with abnormal BMD in our study population was high,and poor lifestyle is a risk factor for osteoporosis. A healthy lifestyle is the best way to prevent OP. Therefore, we must promote and adhere to healthy habits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
