METHOD OF PREDICTING DEVELOPMENT OF OSTEOPENIC SYNDROME IN WOMEN OF PERIMENOPAUSAL AGE Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A61B5/02 A61B6/00 G01N33/48 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine, namely to endocrinology. In order to predict development of osteopenic syndrome in women of perimenopausal age on the basis of data about functional state of thyroid gland, dose of sodium levothyroxine, duration and cause of menopause, hormonal replacement therapy with estrogens, value of body weight index, arterial pressure, general cholesterol concentration in blood serum and initial mineral density of bone tissue, prognostic index F is calculated by formula F=1.17*P1 - 0.01*P2 + 0.15*P3 + 0.14*P4 + 0.42*P5 - 0.05*P6 -0.137*P7 - 0.38*P8 - 0.40*P9 + 1.98*P10 + 4.49; where P1 is functional state of thyroid gland; P2 is concentration of tireotropic hormone in blood serum; P3 is dose of sodium levothyroxine; P4 is menopause duration; P5 is menopause cause; P6 is hormonal replacement therapy; P7 is body weight index; P8 is concentration of general cholesterol in blood serum; P9 is value of arterial pressure; P10 is mineral density of bone tissue; Const=4.49; and if F is larger than zero, increased risk of development or progressing of osteopenic syndrome in nearest five years is predicted, if F is smaller than zero, conclusion about absence of such risk is made.

EFFECT: method increases accuracy of predicting risk of development or progressing of osteopenic syndrome in women of perimenopausal age.
