Abstract:Objectives: There is evidence that calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, proteins, antioxidants and w-3 fatty acids intakes are inversely associated with risk of osteoporosis and hip fractures. In the present study we examine the association of food consumption pattern and w-6/w-3 fatty acid ratio of the diet with hip joint fractures.Methods: Sixty cases having fracture neck of femur and 95 control subjects above 50 years of age were included in this case control study. Dietary intakes were obtained by 3 days assessment of food intakes by questionnaires among patients with fractures(n=50) as well as among 95 control subjects. Physical activity was assessed by questionnaires. Radiological and clinical examination were conducted for the diagnosis of fractures. Cytokines were measured by chemoluminescence enzyme immunometric assay (immulite automated analyzer) kit (DPC Los Angelis, CA, USA). Regression analysis was done to find out the association of risk factors with hip fractures.Results: Among 60 cases, the fracture was more common in male than female. Fruits, vegetables and legume(165 ±12.6 vs. 205±15.8g/day, P<0.03) as well as milk products (milk, curd, butter etc) consumption (205+25.8 vs.
