To evaluate whether there is a relationship between diet quality and bone health in a group of elderly Brazilian women.
A cross-sectional study was performed with 105 elderly women. Participants were evaluated regarding diet quality (good, needing improvement, and poor) and its relationship with bone mineral density (BMD), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP), and C-telopeptide (CTX).
Fifty eight participants (55.2%) presented a poor-quality diet and 47 (44.8%) required dietary improvements, while no subjects presented a good quality diet. The group requiring dietary improvements had lower CTX [0.35 (0.05;1.09) vs. 0.52 (0.10;1.45); p = 0.03)] and BSAP (38.7 ± 12.9 U/L vs. 46.10 ± 15.2 U/L; p < 0.01) levels than the poor-quality diet group. Groups did not differ in terms of BMD.
In this group of elderly Brazilian women, there was a relationship between diet quality and bone health, where worse diet quality was associated with higher levels of bone remodelling markers.
评估一组巴西老年女性的饮食质量与骨骼健康之间是否存在关系。
本研究为一项横断面研究,共纳入 105 名老年女性。评估参与者的饮食质量(良好、需要改善和较差)及其与骨密度(BMD)、骨特异性碱性磷酸酶(BSAP)和 C 端肽(CTX)的关系。
58 名参与者(55.2%)饮食质量较差,47 名参与者(44.8%)需要改善饮食,而无良好饮食质量的参与者。需要改善饮食的组 CTX [0.35(0.05;1.09)比 0.52(0.10;1.45);p = 0.03] 和 BSAP(38.7 ± 12.9 U/L 比 46.10 ± 15.2 U/L;p < 0.01)水平较低。两组间 BMD 无差异。
在该组巴西老年女性中,饮食质量与骨骼健康之间存在关联,较差的饮食质量与更高的骨重塑标志物水平相关。
