Abstract

Objective: To evatuate bone quality (osteossonografia) and bone quantity (osteossonometria) in a population of women in the interior of Goiás, considering the evolution of bone mass with age of the woman. Methods: The study was done at Hospital da Mulher e Maternidade Dona Íris, in Goiânia, where 123 were submitted to an ultrasonography to check the Falange, through the DBM 3G handset. The total population was divided by ages groups: 30-39 years (Group 1), 40-49 years (Group 2), 50-59 years (Group 3) and from 60 years (Group 4). Results: About the bone quantity (AD-SOS): Normal (N): ≥ -1; Osteopenia (PO): -2.5 < OP < -1; Osteoporosis (OO): ≤ -2.5, were found the following results: Group 1: 47% N, 50% PO and 3% OO; Group 2: 56% N, 34% PO and 10% OO; Group 3: 21% N, 49% OP and 30% OO; Group 4: 0% N, 26% PO and 74% OO. About bone quality (UBPI): Normal (N): ≥ 0.84; Limitary (L): 0.70 <UBPI <0.83; Inadequate (I): 0.44 <UBPI <0.70; Deteriorated (D): ≤0,44, the results were: Group 1: 10% N, 37% L, 53% I and 0% D; Group 2: 9% N, 25% L, 60% I and 6% D; Group 3 3% N, 18% L, 55% I and 24% D; Group 4: 0% N, 3% L, 16% I and 81% D.
