This study aimed to evaluate the impact of dietary boron on osteoporosis in postmenopausal Jordanian women. Sixty-six women diagnosed with osteoporosis were recruited and data on personal information, dietary habits, medical history, and lifestyle were collected. Bone mineral density, serum calcium, and serum vitamin D measurements were obtained from patient records. This study showed a strong correlation between boron intake and bone mineral density in these women with osteoporosis and a negative correlation between boron intake and serum calcium ( < .05). However, no significant correlation was found between boron intake and various parameters such as serum vitamin D, dietary habits, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), age of menopause, cases of hysterectomy or oophorectomy, location of fractures, education level, social status, smoking, and physical activity ( > .05). A significant link was found between boron intake and bone mineral density highlighting the importance of nutritional and lifestyle factors affecting bone health. Further research on the specific impact of boron is warranted to better inform dietary interventions for osteoporosis prevention and management.
本研究旨在评估膳食硼对约旦绝经后女性骨质疏松症的影响。招募了66名被诊断为骨质疏松症的女性，并收集了她们的个人信息、饮食习惯、病史和生活方式等数据。从患者记录中获取骨密度、血清钙和血清维生素D的测量值。本研究表明，这些骨质疏松症女性的硼摄入量与骨密度之间存在强相关性，而硼摄入量与血清钙之间存在负相关性（<0.05）。然而，在硼摄入量与血清维生素D、饮食习惯、体重指数（BMI）、腰围（WC）、绝经年龄、子宫切除术或卵巢切除术病例、骨折部位、教育水平、社会地位、吸烟和身体活动等各种参数之间未发现显著相关性（>0.05）。发现硼摄入量与骨密度之间存在显著联系，突出了影响骨骼健康的营养和生活方式因素的重要性。有必要对硼的具体影响进行进一步研究，以便为骨质疏松症的预防和管理提供更好的饮食干预信息。
