Abstract
Osteoporosis is a complex, multi-factorial condition characterized by reduced bone mass and
impaired micro-architectural structure, leading to an increased susceptibility to fractures.
This study aimed to study the relation between bone status and nutritional parameters. In this
study, a total 100 women suffered with osteoporosis. Participants divided into two groups of
females according their ages, a group was between the range of 31-50 (48 members) and a
group was between the range of 51-60 (52 members)
. Data of research was collected through
questionnaire
The anthropometric measurement (including weight, height and BMI), food
habits and healthy status were determined. The results showed that, the total number of
samples was in married, the higher percentage of the study sample from urban, the education
status recorded the highest percentage of sample was in reads and writes. The most of
samples had more pregnancies (2, 3, 4 and 5), the menopause period, was before the age of
40 and suffering obesity with no play sports. Protein, fiber, calcium, magnesium and
vitamins (C, B1, B2 and D) were lower in the both groups when compared with DRI while
Zinc and vitamin A were decreased in the first group as compared with DRI and were lower
than the second group. The other nutrients in both groups were higher than DRI. There were
significant changes between the both groups in hemoglobin, serum bone specific alkaline
phosphatase, serum calcium, phosphorus, urinary calcium and creatinine while, there is no
significant between the both groups for the other medical analysis. So, the women have to
pay attention to consume of calcium-rich foods such as milk and dairy products, lean meat or
beans each day, fruits, vegetables with increasing the physical activity to promote optimal
bone formation especially in early stages of their lives.
