The paper presents the regional peculiarities of the two-dimensional mineral density of lumbar vertebrae and proximal femur in women from Kemerovo region (Russia). The study included 1504 women living in the Kemerovo region.

Bone mass peak in women from Kuzbass corresponds to the age of 20-29 years, after which decrease bone mineral density (BMD) is noted. Lumbar spine BMD was significantly reduced after the age of 50. Bone mass of the proximal femur was significantly reduced from the age of 40-49 years. When comparing lumbar spine BMD women of Kemerovo region with the database of the American population of white women (NHANES III) significant differences in performance at the age of 30-39 yearsobserved. When evaluating of femoral BMD significant difference occurred after the age of 50.

Given that the population indices of bone mineral density in women of the Kemerovo region have regional features, the results should be used to calculate Z-test.

Keywords: osteoporosis , dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, population indices of bone mineral density.
