Özet
Objectives: Positive relation between body mass and bone mineral density (BMD) is thought to be due to weight bearing effect. However, adipose tissue derived adipokines may have important effects on bone. Obese women have decreased levels of omentin in circulation which is related with adverse metabolic events. The hypothesis was that performed in this study, we aimed to study the association of omentin levels with body composition and BMD in non-diabetic postmenopausal women. Methods: Postmenopausal women aged 40 to 70 years, scheduled for BMD testing were prospectively evaluated. Patients with known diabetes, chronic renal failure, chronic liver disease, malabsorption, inflammatory bowel disease, <40 and >70 years of age were excluded. BMD and body composition were measured by DXA (GE-Lunar DPX pro). Fasting blood samples were obtained for analysis of complete blood count, glucose, creatinine, lipid profile and omentin. Statistical analyses were performed by using SPSS version 18 for windows. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Mean age of the patients in the osteoporosis group was higher than that of the control group (59.1±7.6 vs 53.3±5.7, p<0.05). Mean omentin level was higher in osteoporosis group than in osteopenia and control groups (479.7±141.6 vs 342.3±173.6 and 346.8±127.2, p<0.05). Total body fat mass, muscle mass and the T score of lumbar spine had a negative correlation with omentin levels (r=-0.252, -0.276, -0.344, p<0.05). Conclusions: Body composition does not seem to effect omentin levels. Women with a lower BMI have increased omentin levels. Higher omentin levels are associated with lower T scores at the lumbar spine.
