Background: Low bone mineral density (BMD) is the hallmark of
osteoporosis, postmenopausal women are more likely to have microarchitectural
deterioration and fracture risks. This study aimed to determine the relationship
between serum creatinine (sCr) levels and osteoporosis in women who are early
postmenopausal. Methods: There were 335 early postmenopausal women (age
40–60 years) in Dongguan, China, included in this cross-sectional study. BMD in
the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and trochanter was measured using dual-energy
X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and assessed using multivariable-adjusted logistic
regression models based on sCr levels obtained during the first DXA examination.
Results: Without osteoporosis patients had significantly higher sCr
levels than osteoporosis patients. Overall, 75 (22.4%) participants (age, 51.3
