Sažetak

Sažetak. Cilj istraživanja bio je odrediti referentne vrijednosti parametara kvantitativnog ultrazvuka petne kosti i na osnovi njih procijeniti učestalost osteoporoze u muškaraca u Hrvatskoj. U istraživanje su, u sedam istraživačkih centara (Zagreb, Ivanić Grad, Koprivnica, Šibenik, Pula, Slavonski Brod, Vukovar), uključena 1002 muškarca, dobi od 20 do 99 godina. Svim ispitanicima izmjerena je petna kost uređajem Sahara, a određivani su brzina ultrazvučnog vala (SOS), slabljenje ultrazvučnog vala pri prolasku kroz kost (BUA) i indeks kvantitativnog ultrazvuka (QUI). Vrijednosti svih parametara kvantitativnog ultrazvuka značajno su se smanjivale s dobi (p<0,001). Vršne vrijednosti SOS (1562,8±28,5 m/s) i QUI (103,6±16,5) postignute su u trećem desetljeću života, a BUA (86,2±19,2 db/MHz) u četvrtom desetljeću. Prema parametrima QUI, BUA ili SOS, 5,8%, 3,4% i 4,2% muškaraca, starijih od 50 godina, imalo je osteoporozu po kriterijima Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije za DXA, odnosno 16,2%, 11,7% i 17,2% kada smo kao kriterij za osteoporozu uzeli vrijednost T£–1,8.

Summary

Summary. The aim of the study was to establish the normative QUS data in a healthy sample of Croatian males and estimate the prevalence of osteoporosis. A total of 1002 male participants, aged 20–99, were recruited in seven study centers (Zagreb, Ivani}-grad, Koprivnica, [ibenik, Pula, Slavonski Brod, Vukovar). In each subject broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA), speed of sound (SOS) and quantitative ultrasound index (QUI) of the calcaneus were measured using the Sahara ultrasound device. Significant declining with age was found for all three parameters (p<0.001). The peak SOS (1562.8±28.5 m/s) and QUI (103.6±16.5) values were observed in the third decade, whereas the peak BUA value (86.2±19.2 db/MHz) was observed in the fourth decade of life. Using the World Health Organization diagnostic criteria for DXA the rates of osteoporosis in the males aged 50 and older were 5.8%, 3.4 and 4.2% for QUI, BUA, and SOS respectively. However, when we used the cut-off value of the T£–1.8, prevalence of osteoporosis in Croatian males older than 50 years was 16.2%, 11.7% and 17.2%.
