Abstract
Objective:To assess the prevalence of osteoporosis in ambulatory post-menopausal Indian women as measured by Calcaneal Quantitative ultrasound(QUS) and to study dietary calcium intake and vitamin D status and their influence on bone mineral density(BMD). Methods: This was a six month descriptive observational study comprising 180 menopausal ambulant subjects performed at M.G.M Medical College Hospital, Jamshedpur,Jharkhand, India, from July 2017 to December 2017 who completed semi structured questionnaire with subsequent measurement of QUS of the right calcaneum. Result:The prevalence of osteoporosis was found 48.5% in post -menopausal women. There was significant correlation between low dietary intake of calcium and vitamin D, body mass index,early menopause, parity, occupation, education,socio-economic condition and addictions. Conclusion:The high prevalence of osteoporosis and vitamin D insufficiency in post-menopausal women in India is a major health concern.It is therefore necessary to create awareness among postmenopausal population of India to take adequate calcium and vitamin D supplement to avoid future fracture.
