Background: The morphometry of the proximal femur,
including hip axis length (HAL), femoral neck axis length (FNAL), and femoral
neck shaft angle (FNSA), plays a crucial role in assessing fracture risk. This
study aims to elucidate the association between proximal femur morphometry and
bone mineral density (BMD), considering various demographic and physiological
factors.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed
168 patients using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans to measure
HAL, FNAL, FNSA, and FN-BMD. We employed a LUNAR XR scanner for precise BMD
measurement, ensuring the integrity and comparability of data.
Results: Our analysis revealed significant negative
correlations between FN-BMD and HAL (r=−0.791), FNAL(r=−0.734), and
FNSA(r=−0.713), underscoring the predictive value of proximal femur morphometry
on BMD. These findings highlight the potential of morphometric parameters in
enhancing fracture risk prediction models.
Conclusion: This study establishes a significant
association between proximal femur morphometry and BMD, contributing valuable
insights to the field of osteoporosis research and fracture risk assessment.
Further research is recommended to explore the clinical applications of these
findings in personalized medicine.
