Abstract:

This study has been designed and put into application in order to determine the effect of food habits and occurrence factors of osteoporosis on bone mineral density of women who have been in premenopause and postmenopause periods. The study plan includes: Three group of individuals have been chosen whose ages are 25-35, 36-45 and 46 and elder ones. 25 individuals from each group (totally 75) who are determined by means of inspections, have been careed out hematological, biochemical and hormonal examinations. In addition, an inquiry has been app­lied and anthropometric measures have been done and made clear their general information's, nutritional ha­bits and status and measured bone mineral densities (BMD). In the research, the BMD has been decreased as the age, height, weight, fatness body mass, waist, hip wide-ness increased. While TSH, DHEAS04 levels have increased BMD increased. In addition the women's daily consumption levels of calcium, zinc, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin C increased with diet, as the energy expenditu­re by physical activity increased, it has been determined that BMD increased, too.
