It is favorable to increasing the bone density often drinking tea
Recently, Taiwan has succeeded a research of the university has revealed, drinks black tea, green tea or two cups of very strong skeletons in at least 6 years of oolong tea on average every day. Getting more and more because of the elderly's osteoporosis and bone density low fracture that cause. According to the estimation by WHO, the number of people of hip fracture will rise to 6,300,000 from 1,700,000 in 1990 by 2050. The researcher thinks, fluoride, caffeine, plant estrogen that tea contains may be to the mineral density of bone (BMD) There is influence. As to this, this research includes in 497 men and 540 women, age is not smaller than 30 years old. Get used to through the drink tea of the research object of questionnaire investigation and the characteristic of other life styles. Can use pair the X-ray absorb the law and determine whole body, lumbar vertebrae (L1-L4) , femur proximal BMD. (ArchInternMed2002, 162: 1001) The result reveals, 502 people (48.4%) It is used to there is drink tea of reasoning, the time of average drink tea is nearly 10 years. Compare the intersection of drink tea and 6- 10 year person BMD relatively high lumbar vertebrae, drink tea over 10 year person all determination the BMD highest in position with person who have drink tea, used to. Under the regression model progressively of pluralism, gender, the age, physique index, drink tea are used to, the overall strength activity is different position BMD main variables. About the behavioral characteristic of the drink tea, the time of the drink tea is the only independent index of determining BMD. The researcher thinks, it is used to there is drink teaing, especially in over 10 years, have prominent benefits on BMD of the adult's whole body, lumbar vertebrae and hip.
