Abstract

Bone mineral density (BMD) is an important tool for assessing the risk of an individual for acquiring fractures. The determinants of BMD are not well defined in men .The study aims at assessing the bone mass in middle-aged men having occupations which required prolonged standing. A cross-sectional study was carried out comparing the T-score values of BMD of 100 men having a daily standing time of more than 8 hours to 100 men having a daily standing time of less than 3 hours. The results showed increased bone mass in men with jobs requiring prolonged standing as compared to men which had a sedentary life style.
