To evaluate the Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and diet of teachers of a Govt. College of Home Economics in Lahore.
It was survey research. Purposive sampling technique was adopted for the selection of 50 teachers from Govt. College of Home Economics of age group 30 - 60 years.
About 46% of the subjects had BMD ratio in between -2.58 to -4.0 (Osteoporotic category). The root cause of low BMD ratio was not really age related but in majority of the sample it was due to sedentary life style and lack of awareness about the importance of exercise in relation to bone health.
The total mineral and vitamin intake required for bone health (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus & vitamin D) was below the recommended, among majority of the sample.
评估拉合尔一所政府家政学院教师的骨密度(BMD)和饮食情况。
这是一项调查研究。采用目的抽样技术从政府家政学院选取了50名年龄在30至60岁之间的教师。
约46%的受试者骨密度比值在-2.58至-4.0之间(骨质疏松类别)。骨密度比值低的根本原因并非真正与年龄相关,在大多数样本中,是由于久坐的生活方式以及对运动与骨骼健康重要性缺乏认识。
在大多数样本中,骨骼健康所需的总矿物质和维生素摄入量(钙、镁、磷和维生素D)低于推荐量。
