Abstract
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass and micro architectural deterioration of bone tissue, which consequently increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture especially in postmenopausal who is considered as higher risk of osteoporosis due to excessive loss of bone mass. Therefore, understanding the modifiable factors of dietary practices is important to study was to examine the influence of menopausal status and dietary behavioral practices on bone health status among postmenopausal Chinese women aged 51 to 78 years in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. A total of 73 postmenopausal Chinese women had completed the study. A piloted questionnaires was used to assess the sociodemographical status, general health status, dietary intake and behavioral practices, and lifestyle practices, whereas bone masses of the total body, proximal femur and lumbar spine (L2-L4) were assessed using a dual energy Jf-ray absorptiometry device (DXA). Mean age of the participants were 57.2 years, with majority of them (67.1%) achieved the normal ranges of body mass index (BM1). After full adjustments for age, YSM and BMI, multivariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed that nutritional supplement use of weekly calcium and vitamin D status had The finding suggesting that weekly consumption of nutritional supplement of calcium and/or vitamin D provide beneficial and positive impacts on bone mass among postmenopausal Chinese women consequently could help to reduce the risk of excessive bone loss and the risk of osteoporotic fractures.
