Bone mineral density and nourishment

Some diet pattern is connected with higher risk of obesity and deficit of different nutrients. Both can contribute to complications of chronic disease like osteoporosis. The primary objective of this study was to analyze the correlation between bone mineral density and body mass, i.e. nutrients intake. The cross-sectional study included 25 patients who had regular osteodensitometrycal checkup. Patients anthropometrics' characteristics were collected by interview. Dietary pattern was estimated through food-frequency questionnaire and average meal was made. Nutritional analysis computer program (Nutrics Professional Nutrition Analysis Software) was used to analyze the average intake of nutrients from the food intake data. The average T score of hip was at level of osteopenia (-1.7), and BMI was 25.80 kg/m2. By comparing the results using Pearson coefficient, we found positive linear trend and statistical significance at p <0.05. The average T score of lumbar spine was at level of osteoporosis (-2,19), and average intake of calcium was 1519 mg. By comparing the results using Pearson coefficient, we found negative linear trend and statistical significance at p
