Objective: To investigate the effect of long-term aerobic exercise on estrogen level and bone composition in female patients with osteoporosis. Methods: A total of 120 women with osteoporosis were selected from January 2017 to July 2018. They were randomly divided into three groups, the experimental group, the conventional treatment group and the pure exercise group, each of 40 cases. The routine group was treated with calcium supplement and vitamin D3. The experimental group was treated with aerobic exercise plus routine therapy. The simple exercise group was treated with aerobic exercise. The estrogen level and bone mineral density of the three groups were compared before and after treatment. Results: There was no significant difference in estradiol levels among the three groups before treatment, and there was significant difference in estradiol levels between the three groups at 3 and 6 months after treatment. The bone mineral density of the experimental group, the routine group and the simple exercise group at 3 months and 6 months after treatment was higher than that before treatment, the difference was statistically significant. The levels of estradiol in the experimental group, the routine group and the simple exercise group at 3 and 6 months after treatment were higher than those before treatment, and the differences among the three groups were statistically significant. Conclusion: Long-term exercise can effectively improve the estrogen level and bone mineral density of female patients with osteoporosis, and has obvious effect on preventing osteoporosis.
