Abstract:
〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Background: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 Kidney dysfunction and albuminuria may be associated with BMD. However, little evidence has been reported on relationships between BMD and eGFR and albuminuria. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Methods: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 A total of 8,992 subjects aged 50 years or older participated in a survey conducted. Participants had their lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD measured by a Lunar Prodigy bone densitometer (GE, Madison, WI). Kidney function was assessed using MDRD eGFR and diagnosis of albuminuria was based on albumin-creatinine ratio. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Results: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 ACR was negatively associated with lumbar spine and femur neck BMD in females (lumbar spine: 1.001, 0.988, 0.974 and 0.979 g/cm 〈 sup 〉 2 〈 /sup 〉 , p 〈 0.001; femur neck: 0.796, 0.790, 0.783 and 0.782 g/cm 〈 sup 〉 2 〈 /sup 〉 , p = 0.002), but not in males, after adjusting for covariates. Additionally, eGFR was shown to be negatively associated with lumbar spine BMD after adjusting for covariates (male: 1.181, 1.166, 1.152 and 1.149 g/cm 〈 sup 〉 2 〈 /sup 〉 , p = 0.001; female: 0.997, 0.980, 0.979 and 0.982 g/cm 〈 sup 〉 2 〈 /sup 〉 , p = 0.005), but demonstrated no association with femur BMD. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Conclusions: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 ACR in females was negatively associated with lumbar spine and femur neck BMD, but not in males. eGFR was negatively associated with lumbar spine BMD in both males and females.
