Objective To study the significance and value of ultrasound bone mineral density monitoring in monitoring the growth and development of high-risk infants. Methods: A total of 170 children who received bone mineral density testing in our hospital from June 2019 to June 2020 were selected. All children received standardized bone mineral density testing to observe the incidence of bone mineral density deficiency. Differences in bone mineral density in children, differences in body mass index between children with normal bone density and children with insufficient bone density. Results: After testing 170 children with BMD by ultrasound, we found that the incidence of BMD in high-risk children was extremely high, reaching 87.6%. At the same time, there was a difference in BMI between children with normal BMD and children with BMD deficiency. There was statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion: Ultrasound bone mineral density testing for high-risk children can effectively observe the situation of insufficient bone mineral density in children. Ultrasound bone mineral density monitoring is of great significance in monitoring the growth and development of high-risk children, and has the value of clinical promotion and use.
