Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how diet and lifestyle affect bone mass in 122 postmenopausal Saudi women, measuring their dietary habits, bone mineral density (BMD), and blood samples for bone-related markers.
- Findings showed that most participants were vitamin D deficient, with those having normal BMD levels having lower vitamin D compared to osteopenic individuals, suggesting a link between vitamin D levels and bone health.
- The research highlighted a concerning trend of high calorie and fat intake among participants and a deficiency in both calcium and vitamin D, indicating a need for nutritional supplementation to improve bone health in this population.
