Objectives: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the association between daily physical activity and sonographically measured bone status among women during the lactation period. Methods: Final participants were 152 women 4 months after childbirth. Bone status of the participants was measured using quantitative ultrasonometry of the calcaneus (speed of sound). Daily physical activity was assessed using the Japanese version of International Physical Activity Questionnaire short version. After getting the International Physical Activity Questionnaire results, we classified participants into three categories (low/moderate/high) according to a protocol. Participants categorized into the low group according to the International Physical Activity Questionnaire were considered to be in the low physical activity group and those categorized into the moderate and high groups were considered to be in the moderate to vigorous physical activity group. Results: Speed of sound was significantly higher in the moderate to vigorous physical activity group (moderate to vigorous physical activity versus low physical activity, 1533 m/s versus 1523 m/s, p = 0.03). Daily physical activity was significantly associated with speed of sound, even after adjustment for confounding factors and prognosticators ( β = 0.195, p = 0.02). Conclusion: Sonographically measured bone status was significantly higher in women who were physically active than in those who were physically inactive, suggesting that daily physical activity might help to maintain good bone status.

“…Body mass index (BMI) and waist to hip ratio (WHR) were calculated by using standard formulas. Bone mineral density (BMD) of postmenopausal females was measured using DBM Sonic Bone profiler manufactured by IGEA, Capri, Italy, Model: BP01 14. Three ml fasting blood was obtained in serum vacutainers.…”

Objectives: The study was planned to determine whether serum calcium, phosphate and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) are predictors of bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal non-osteoporotic, osteopenic, and osteoporotic females. Methods: In this cross sectional study, conducted at Shaikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore in the year 2014-2015, postmenopausal females between 50-70 years of age were taken and divided into three groups non-osteoporotic (n=52), osteopenic (n=69) and osteoporotic (n=47). Serum ALP, phosphate and calcium were used in a stepwise multiple regression analysis to predict T-score in these groups. Results: In normal postmenopausal females, the prediction model was statistically significant, F(2, 41) = 6.041, p < 0.05 and showed a T-score variance of 22%. T-score was primarily predicted by higher levels of phosphate and calcium. In postmenopausal osteopenic females, T-score was only predicted by lower levels of ALP. The model was statistically significant, F(1, 59) = 4.995, p < 0.05, and accounted for approximately 7% of the variance of T-score. In postmenopausal osteoporotic females, the prediction model contained no predictors. Conclusion: Our study suggested that calcium and phosphate are the strongest predictors of T-score in postmenopausal normal females, while in postmenopausal osteopenic females ALP was the strongest predictor of T-score. Elevated serum ALP levels may help in determining loss of BMD in postmenopausal females. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.3.188 How to cite this:Tariq S, Tariq S, Lone KP, Khaliq S.

“…Another study showed that low mineral density was not associated with participants involved in regular physical activity as compared to those who did not work out daily or have sedentary life styles [11,16] . Similarly,in Nigeria, it has been observed that osteoporosis prevalence was high among younger ages due to non-participation in sports and occupational activities [17] .…”

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Osteopenia is a condition in which bone mineral density (BMD) is decreased. If not timely prevented, it can be aggravated to severe osteoporosis and a risk for fractures. Our objective was to find out the frequency of osteopenia and osteoporosis in female medical students residing in hostel of Punjab Medical College Faisalabad. METHODOLOGY: A Cross-sectional study was conducted in Liaqat and Fatima hall of Punjab Medical College Hostel, Faisalabad from 1st June 2014 to 31st August 2014 after ethical review committee approval. By using non probability convenient sampling technique, 212 female students of MBBS residing in Punjab Medical College Hostel were included in study. Predesigned questionnaire was used to collect data. Data was analyzed by using 17 version of SPSS. RESULTS: Out of 212 females, the age of 70 (33%) females was <20 years, the age of 80 (38%) females was 21-22 years and 62 (29%) females was ≥ 23 years. The frequency of osteoporosis was 81(38%), osteopenia was 123 (58%) and normal females were only 8 (4%). In relation to regular exercise, significant association was observed with p <0.001. CONCLUSION: Frequency of osteopenia and osteoporosis was high among female medical students. To address this serious public health issues, health education should be provided.
