Abstract
In this work, condition bone of women in an urban group has been measured and compared to a rural
group. Based on the amount of bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD), T-score
and Z-score, in this study. From September 5, 2021 to February 28, 2022, a cross-sectional study was done
at the DXA laboratory, Physiology Department, College of Medicine, University of Ninevah, Mosul, Iraq.
Since 139 healthy females were enrolled through a college medical academic center’s assessment. They
were divided into two groups: rural (53 participants) and urban (86 participants). Studying the participants
provided detailed anthropometric data. T-, Z-score, BMD and BMC were evaluated using a DXA bone
densitometer scanner type (STRATOS) from the (DMS) group in France. All sample groups are classified
according to age ranged between 30-79 years and divided into subgroups for every 10 years. The results
showed that BMC and BMD values were higher in the rural group in comparison to the urban group for
all age categories with a highly significant p = 0.0001.
