Abstract
The present study was conducted on 20 females children aged 11 to 12 year who were completely healthy only presenting with minor complaints to the Pediatric Outpatient Clinic, Children’s Hospital, Ain Shams University.
There were significant positive correlations between weight SDS and whole body BMC & subtotal body BMC & whole body fat. There were significant correlations between height SDS and each of subtotal body BMD, whole body BMC, whole body fat, femoral neck Z score. There was significant positive correlation between body mass index and lumbar spine BMD. There were non significant correlations between socioeconomic scoring and all DEXA parameters. There were non significant correlations between laboratory bone parameters (serum calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase) and all DEXA parameters. There were non significant correlations between calcium intake and all DEXA parameters. There were non significant correlations between physical activity and all DEXA parameters. There were highly significant positive correlations between each of age and whole body BMD and subtotal body BMD. There were significant positive correlations between age and each of whole body Z score and whole body BMC. There were highly significant positive correlations between weight SDS and whole body BMD, subtotal BMD, lumbar spine Z score and whole body BMC. There were highly significant positive correlations between lumbar spine BMD and height SDS. There were highly significant positive correlations between BMI and each of whole body BMD subtototal BMD, femoral BMD and whole body BMC. There were significant positive correlation between BMI and whole body z score. There were highly significant positive correlation between BMI SDS and whole body BMD, subtotal body BMD, femoral BMD, whole body BMC. There were significant positive correlation between BMI SDS and lumbar spine BMD. There were non significant correlations between laboratory bone parameters and DEXA parameters. There were non significant correlations between dietary calcium intake and DEXA parameters. There were non significant correlations between physical activity and DEXA parameters. There were non significant correlations between hours sun light exposure and DEXA parameters. There were non significant correlations between El-Bohy score and DEXA parameters. There were non significant correlations between socioeconomic factors and DEXA parameters.
