Associação entre espessura da pele e densidade óssea em mulheres adultas

Abstract: An independent correlation was found between skin thickness and bone density, suggesting that these events occur simultaneously. Skin signs may represent a non-invasive method of stratifying risk in these patients, helping identify cases requiring early treatment.

“…Here, the question arises whether these changes in exercise and nutrition appear to also have an impact on the skin. In this context, Yoneda et al [8] found that skin thickness on the back of hands and bone mineral density measurements at the lumbar spine and femur significantly correlate in adult women. These findings make sense since skin and bone tissue are both primarily made up of collagen type I [9, 10].…”

“…Several devices were used to assess the skin thickness: radiographs, 27 , 32 calipers, 23 , 24 echographs 16 , 17 , 19 21 , 42 and a pachymeter. 15 The anatomical site of the measurement of the skin parameter was: the hand only in five studies or 524 patients; the forearm only in five studies or 987 patients; the abdomen only in one study or 76 patients; and several sites in three studies or 194 patients (NR in one study). The bone parameters tested in the included studies were: an estimation of BMD in 10 studies or 1494 patients (expressed as T-score in five studies or 1107 patients and in g/mm 3 in five studies or 387 patients); a quantitative computed tomography in one study or 94 patients; the metacarpal index in one study or 148 patients; the trabecular pattern (Singh index) in one study or 45 patients; and the cortical thickness in one study or 193 patients.…”
