| Summary: | Forty-eight postmenopausal women, selected among the patients who applied to our outpatient physical medicine and rehabilitation department without previous osteoporosis medication, were separeted into 3 groups according to bone mineral density (BMD) values as normal, osteopenic and osteoporotic. The correlations between demographic properties, menopause duration and laboratory parameters were investigated. Linear correlations were found respectively between 25(OH) D vitamin and PTH, 25(OH) D vitamin and phosphor (p = 0.009), 1,25(OH)2 D3 and bone formation (BF) was found (r = 0.03, p = 0.02) while there was negative correlation with bone resorption (BR) (r = -0.31, p = 0.01). In osteoporosis group, there was a negative correlation between 25(OH) D vitamin and BF (r = -0.45, p = 0.04). Additionally, there was a similiar correlation between 1,25(OH)2 D3 vitamin and 1,25(OH)2 D3 to BF, BR and % loss of BMD in normal and osteopenic groups. A weak linear correlation was present between BF and BMD. |
