Abstract
This study aimed to study the relationship between bone status and nutritional parameters. One hundred women with osteoporosis were divided into two groups according to their ages; a group was between 31-50 (48 members), and a group was between the range of 51-60 (52 members). Data of research was collected through a questionnaire. The anthropometric measurement (including weight, height, and BMI), food habits, and health status were determined. The results showed that. The total number of samples was married, the higher percentage of the study sample from urban, the education status recorded the highest percentage of the sample was in reads and writes. Most of the samples had more pregnancies (2, 3, 4, and 5), the menopause period was before the age of 40, and suffering from obesity with not playing sports. Protein, fiber, calcium, magnesium, and vitamins (C, B1, B2, and D) were lower in 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 both groups in hemoglobin, serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, serum calcium, phosphorus, urinary calcium, and creatinine, while there is no significant between both groups for the other medical analysis. So, women must pay attention to consuming calcium-rich foods with increasing physical activity to promote optimal bone formation, especially in the early stages of their lives.
