Association of Physical Activity and Daily Calcium Intake with Body Mass Index and Bone Density in Menopause Females Referred to Bone Density Center of Rasht City

Background and Objective: This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between the amount of physical activity and daily calcium intake with body mass index and the amount of bone density in post-menopausal female patients. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-cross sectional study was performed on ۸۰ post-menopausal women with mean age of ۵۸.۱۳±۷.۵۹ years and BMI mean of ۲۶.۶۹±۳.۶۶. Participantschr('۳۹') physical activity level was measured using Beck Physical Activity Questionnaire and daily calcium intake was measured using Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) and three-day dietary recall. Bone densitometry method was used for determining bone density in the spinal and femur bone regions .To analyze the data, SPSS software was used. Results: Physical activity in ۵۳.۸% of the participants was in low level and calcium intake of ۶۲.۵% of them was lower than daily recommended level. Frequency distribution of bone density in spine region was ۳۷.۵% osteopenia and ۲۶.۲% osteoporosis while in femur bone it was ۴۸.۸% osteopenia and۱۱.۲% osteoporosis (P۰.۰۵). Women with a lower physical activity had ۵۱.۲% osteopenia and ۴۶.۵% osteoporosis in spine region along with ۶۹.۸% osteopenia and ۲۰.۹% osteoporosis in the femur bone region. Women whose daily calcium intake was lower than the recommended amount suffered from ۳۸% osteoporosis and ۳۶% osteopenia in spine region and ۷۰% osteopenia and ۱۴% osteoporosis in the femur region. Conclusion: In our study, most menopause women had osteopenia in both spinal and femur bone regions. Due to the significant effect of physical activity and daily calcium intake on bone density, an increase in daily calcium intake and encouragement of women to take part in physical activities are recommended. ۱- Wickham CA, Walsh K, Cooper C, Barker DJ, Margetts BM, Morris J, et al.
