Objective: To observe the effect of exogenous fat on the bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spine (LS) on a phantom measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) Hologic QDR4500A.
Methods: LS DXA scans were performed on an LS phantom, and were repeated when with lard packets (2 fresh lard packets and 2 refined lard packets, 5 cm or 10 cm thick).
Results: After fresh lard packets were placed, only L1 BMD decreased significantly (P<0.05).When the 5 cm-thick refined lard packet was placed, BMD, bone mineral content (BMC),and bone area (BA) decreased obviously, but with the 10 cm-thick refined lard packet, BMD, BMC and BA decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01).
Conclusion: The exogenous fat may affect LS BMD of lumbar spine phantom by DXA Hologic QDR4500A, with significant decrease of the value,which may cause anomaly measurement of BMD in obese people and even misdiagnosis of osteoporosis.

Objective: To examine the influence of exogenous fat (lard) on the bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spine measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometer (DXA) Hologic QDR 4500A in different sites in healthy women.
Methods: Lard packets (5 cm or 10 cm thick) were prepared. The lumbar spine (LS) DXA scans were performed on 37 women(Group A), who were repeated with lard packets (5 cm or 10 cm thick) placed over the abdomen, and the hip DXA scans were performed on 18 women(Group B), who were repeated with lard packets (5 cm or 10 cm thick) placed over the left thigh.

Changes in body fatness may impact the accuracy of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures of bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD). The aim of this study was to determine if DXA can accurately assess BMC and BMD with changes in exogenous fat (lard) placed to simulate weight change. Whole body (WB), lumbar spine (LS), and proximal femur (PF) DXA scans (Hologic QDR 4500A) were performed on 30 elderly (52-83 yr) and 60 young (18-40 yr) individuals (i.
