TURCHIN, T. N. YAMILOVA Odessa medical national university, Odessa AbstractObjective: To determine the dependence of lumbar spine compression degree on BMD state and the patients’ age. The relationship of BMD state, the patients’ age and the degree of compression of the vertebrae were studied. Correlation and regression analysis of the relationship between SOS index, score of compression and patients' age have been examined. Results. The data obtained allowed us to develop a mathematical model for predicting BMD reduction and the severity of vertebral compression fractures. Conclusions. Ultrasonic indexes of bone mineral density may be used not only for its screening assessment in general population of different ages, but also in assessing the degree of structural and functional changes of BT, predicting the severity of low-energy osteoporosis fractures. It will help to assign treatment in preclinical stage, and carry out prevention of compression fractures.Key words: bone mineral density, low-energy fracture, vertebra compression.
