Abstract

Overview: In recent years, the prevalence of osteoporosis has raised particularly in adult females.
Meanwhile, a healthy diet and physical activities were considered as supportive care for the
prevention of osteoporosis. The study aimed to: assess the past patterns of dietary intake and the
level of physical activities of females with osteoporosis. Methods: This retrospective study was
conducted on 100 adult females with primary osteoporosis visited at Rheumatology Outpatient
Clinic at Alexandria Main University Hospital, Alexandria, Egypt. Dietary patterns were assessed
by a dietary patterns structured interview schedule while the physical activities were assessed by
using a modified Godin-Shephard leisure-time physical activity questionnaire. Results: The finding
showed, the majority of females have unsatisfactory intake of both milk and its products, dark green
vegetable and fish. The majority preferred to consume tea while half of them consumed coffee.
Moreover, the majority of the studied females were less active/sedentary. There was a statistical
significant relationship between the level of physical activity with the place of residence and
education of the females (p = <0.001* and 0.015* respectively). Conclusion: There was an
unsatisfactory intake of diet important for the prevention of osteoporosis together with the increase
of sedentary life to most females at pre-menopause. Recommendation: A healthy diet and physical
activities must be encouraged for all pre-menopausal females to reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
