Objective  To explore the correlation of risk factors affecting the L2-4BMD level in patients with post-menopausal osteoporosis.
Methods  Ninety-two patients with post-menopausal osteoporosis were surveyed with a retrospective questionnaire. We used the findings to set up a multiple stepwise regression model and perform correlation analysis with L2-4BMD levels as the dependent variable and risk factors as the independent variables.
Results  Assuming that age has a definite effect on the L2-4BMD level of menopausal women, menopausal age limit, history of milk drinking, menopausal age, menarche age, fracture history and bend-back entered into the multiple stepwise regression equation.
Conclusions  Menopausal age limit, history of milk drinking, menopausal age, menarche age, fracture history, and bend-back influence patients with menopausal osteoporosis.The menopausal age limit is especially important. Awareness of the risk factors of osteoporosis should be raised.
