ABSTRACT
Background: In Mexico, calcaneal ultrasound measurements —bone
mineral density (BMD), broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA), speed
of sound (SOS), ultrasonic quantitative index (QUI)— and their differences
in regards to menopause have not been documented.
Methods: It was carried out a cross-sectional study in 862 women from
20 to 90 years old, incorporated through consecutive sample, who were
users of the Sistema para el Desarrollo Integral de la Familia (DIF) in
Morelos. Sociodemographic, reproductive and life style factors were
identifi ed. BMD, BUA, SOS and QUI were measured with quantitative
ultrasound (QUS), using a Sunlight Omnisense 7000 S device. Adjusted
differences in the mean of these measurements were estimated between
pre and postmenopausal women through multiple linear regression.
Results: The medians were: BMD, 0.455 g/cm
2 (IQR, interquartile
range = 0.378, 0.538); BUA, 66.0 dB/mHz (IQR = 54.3, 78.1); SOS,
1530.7 m/s (IQR = 1509.8, 1551.7); QUI = 83.7 units (IQR = 71.1, 96.6).
In postmenopausal women, adjusted mean for BUA was –4.34 dB/mHz
(CI 95 % = –8.23,–0.43); for SOS, –4.26 m/s (CI 95 % = –13.82, 5.30) ; for
QUI, –4.42 units (CI 95 % = –8.64,–0.19).
Conclusions: This report increases information about the clinical applicability
of QUS. SOS in calcaneus does not refl ect changes related with
menopause.
