Estudo exploratório da associação entre o perfil lipídico e a densidade mineral óssea em mulheres menopausadas, em hospital de referência de Campinas

Abstract: A total of 72 postmenopausal patients presenting no risk factors for cardiovascular disease nor osteoporosis, were studied. The study evaluated total serum cholesterol and fractions and bone mass by densitometry of the lumbar spine and femur using a Lunar-DPX. There was no association between lipid profile variables and bone mineral density, except for high density lipoprotein (HDL), which showed an inverse correlation (p=0.001). Multiple regression showed that total cholesterol levels higher than 240 mg% had … Show more

“…Calcium intake was lower in the hypercholesterolemia group, but not in the high-Lp(a) group, probably due to the decrease in dairy foods secondary to low-fat diet [7,21,22] and it is suggested that the restriction in calcium intake due to low-fat diet may be responsible for low bone mass [21]. In a casecontrol study comparing 311 postmenopausal women with hypercholesterolemia following a low-fat diet with low dairy calcium intake (<214 mg/day) with 622 healthy postmenopausal women with high dairy calcium intake (>857 mg/day), the prevalence of lumbar osteoporosis was higher in the, hypercholesterolemia group (42.1% vs. 22.3%) suggesting the authors that the restriction in calcium intake due to the low-fat diet may have been responsible for low bone mass [21].…”

“…In the early nineties it was reported that osteoporotic Czech women with and without vertebral fractures had higher serum cholesterol concentration than age-matched normal controls, suggesting a possible association between atherosclerosis and osteoporosis [6]. A more recent study found that the LDLc/HDLc ratio was negatively associated with BMD in postmenopausal women without risk factors for cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis [7]. In a recent longitudinal study in postmenopausal women aged 50-75 years, those with the largest increases in serum cholesterol showed the greatest decreases in spine BMD independently of the change in the body mass index [8].…”
