Osteoporosis is a chronic metabolic syndrome associated with debilitating consequences that represents one of the major non-communicable diseases and the most common bone illness that affects both men and women. This observational study evaluates the amount of physical activity and the nutritional intake in a group of postmenopausal women who have a sedentary job.
All subjects underwent a medical evaluation, a body impedance analysis to evaluate body composition (fat mass, fat-free mass, and body cell mass), and a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry to analyze bone mineral density. Additionally, a 3-day food record questionnaire and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire were administered respectively to evaluate patients' foods and beverages assumptions and the participants' Physical Activity levels.
The study showed that most of the patients had a moderate activity level and inadequate calcium and vitamin D assumption compared to guidelines.
The onset of osteoporosis seemed to be reduced at higher levels of leisure time, domestic, and transport activities, even in subjects who have a sedentary job and insufficient assumption of micronutrients.
骨质疏松症是一种与衰弱性后果相关的慢性代谢综合征，是一种主要的非传染性疾病和最常见的影响男女两性的骨骼疾病。本观察性研究评估了一组从事久坐工作的绝经后妇女的身体活动量和营养摄入量。
所有受试者均接受了医学评估、身体阻抗分析以评估身体成分（脂肪量、去脂体重和身体细胞量）和双能 X 射线吸收法以分析骨矿物质密度。此外，还分别使用 3 天食物记录问卷和国际体力活动问卷评估了患者的食物和饮料摄入量以及参与者的体力活动水平。
研究表明，与指南相比，大多数患者的活动水平适中，且钙和维生素 D 的摄入量不足。
即使在从事久坐工作且微量营养素摄入不足的受试者中，休闲时间、国内和交通活动水平较高似乎也能降低骨质疏松症的发病风险。
