Abstract
Introduction: Osteoporosis is a multifactorial disease and one of the most important modifiable
factors in the development and maintenance of bone mass are nutrition nutritional status and its
relationship with Bone Mass Density (BMD) in postmenopausal women admitted in osteodensitometry
Center, Isfahan, Iran. Materials and Methods: Seventy‑two postmenopausal osteoporotic women
were studied. BMD of the lumbar spine and total hip were measured using dual‑energy X‑ray
absorptiometry. Demographic and dietary intakes were collected by interview and using a validated
food frequency questionnaires. T‑scores, Pearson correlation and one way analysis of variance
tests were conducted to analyze the data. Results: Mean of age and duration of menopause was
nearly 57.5 ± 7.2 and 10.6 ± 7.1 years, respectively. The mean t‑scores for BMD of spine and hip
were 0.877 ± 0.179 and 0.997 ± 0.21, respectively. The mean of calcium (Ca), phosphorous (P),
fluoride (F), Vitamin D, K and Zn were less than DRI and Na more than it (all P value less than
0.0001). BMD of hip was significantly correlated with dietary Ca, animal protein, Zn (P < 0.05), but
BMD of spine did not show any significant correlation with nutrients (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Most
of the postmenopausal osteoporotic women in this study had a considerable deficiency in terms of
micronutrients such as Ca, vitamin D and P, which can be deleterious for bone health.
