AIM: To discuss the effect of measuring sites to diagnosis of osteoporo-sis. METHODS: 1 087 subjects were measured at both hip and lumbervertebra sites by DEXA. T4 - L4 X-ray were taken and the compressive frac-tttre person were screened. To compare osteoporosis prevalence at differentsite and determine which site was sensitive to diagnosis of ostoopore-sis. RESULTS: BMD in both site was gradually decreasing with age in-creasing. BMD of female was lower than that of male. The prevalence of os-teoporosis at hip was higher than that at lumbar vetebra for men and theprevalence of osteoporosis at lumber was higher than that at hip in wom-en. CONCLUSION: BMD at lumbar vetebra as a indicator to diagnosis ofosteoporosis is better than BMD at hip for women.
