| Summary: | The objective of this study was to identify factors that determine the bone
mineral density (BMO) in postmenopausal Malay women. A total of 113
subjects residing in the Klang Valley participated in the study on a vol untary
basis. Study subjects were healthy Malay women aged between 50 to 65
years old who had attained menopause at least 5 years at the time of the
study.
The BMO of total body, proximal femur, femoral neck, wards, trochanter and
lumbar spine L2-L4 as well as fat mass (FM) and lean body mass (LBM)
were measured using the dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (OEXA).
Information on sociodemographic and reprod uctive history were collected
using a questionnaire. Food intake was assessed using a three-day food
record and a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. Physical activity
was assessed using a three-day physical activity record, an open ended
questionnaire and a pedometer. Knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) |
