Abstract

Objectives: This study was to investigate the bone quality in young men with long-term methamphetamine use history and its determinants, compared with age matched normal ones. Methods: 111 males, who had the history of long-term methamphetamine consumption, and 125 non-drug dependences were recruited as normal control. Bone quality was tested and collected from participants by a quantitative ultrasound scan device. Independent t test and multivariate regression model were used to do data analysis. Results: The mean stiffness-index of individuals with methamphetamine use history was 88.25 (16.04), which was significantly lower than that of normal ones, 100.02 (23.86), p<0.05. In multivariate regression model, Body mass index (BMI) and smoking years were positively correlated with bone quality and fat mass was negatively did, p<0.05. Conclusion: Young men with methamphetamine use history had abnormally low bone quality compared with individuals with non-drug use history. In addition, their bone health may be also affected by smoking and overweight or underweight. This special population may be in the risk of bone loss and of fracture.
