Hence; we planned the present study to assess of association of calcium, milk consumption and hip fracture among postmenopausal women. Materials & Methods: The present study involved assessment of association of calcium, milk consumption and hip fracture among postmenopausal women.

Subjects with history of fractures were also recorded. Details about the diet of the subjects and the use of supplements were also obtained through the means of questionnaire. On the basis of the nutrient content of the food was assessed. All the results were recorded and analysed by SPSS software. Results: Hip fractures occurred in 28 subjects in the present study.
