폐경기 여성의 심폐기능, 체력과 골밀도의 관계 분석

초록

This study was to examine the relationship of cardiorespiratory function (CRF), fitness, and bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women. The subjects were 231 postmenopausal women, who had visited a health promotion center for a medical check-up including BMD, CRF, and fitness test in 2008. There was significant difference in age (F=5.681, p=0.004), height (F=3.844, p=0.023), and vital capacity (VC) (F=6.502, p=0.002) among normal, osteopenia and osteoporosis group. However, there was no significant difference in weight, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, resting heart rate, VO₂max, sit up, grip strength, vertical jump, reaction time, balance, and sit and reach among normal, osteopenia and osteoporosis group. In addition, significant but low partial correlation was observed between VC and BMD (r=0.195, p=0.003), and multiple regression analysis showed that only VC was variable having 7.2% of R² (p=0.010). In conclusion, there were no relationship between fitness levels including CRF and BMD among postmenopausal women.
