Decreased bone mineral density is a certain and independent risk factor for the occurrence of osteoporotic fractures, together with other important factors which can be modified or non-modified. A low body mass index is counted for modified clinical risk factors. THE AIM. To establish the connection between bone mineral density and body mass index as the two risk factors for the occurrence of osteoporotic fractures. MATERIAL AND METHOD. The analysis includes 100 postmenopausal women of different age who had osteodensitometrycal findings (DEXA). The results were interpreted according to the valid osteoporosis definition. Body mass index was also calculated to all patients. The connection between the two risk factors was observed. In statistical data processing the statistic programme SPSS 14.0 for Windows was used. RESULTS. The average age of the examined women was 64, the average T score of lumbal spine and T score of the hip was at the level of osteopeny, while the average body mass index was 22,70 kg/m2. There is a significant statistical connection between the two observed parameters (p<0.01). CONCLUSION. A low body mass index can be a useful clinical tool for the selection of postmenopausal women for DEXA examination in order to make an early diagnosis of osteoporosis and to prevent osteoporotic fractures by an adequate therapy. Key words: bone mineral density, body mass index, osteoporosis Napomena:
