“…The statistically significant association between the BMI and the T-score of the hip, as well as the T-score of the spine that was identified in our study is also confirmed in the research of Zvekić-Svorcan et al [20], showing that there is a relationship between persons' BMI and their lumbar spine and hip T-scores i.e. there is association between the decreased BMD and the low BMI [20]. Kang et al [21] found that the hip bone strength deteriorated with aging and enhanced with higher BMI and longer time of years of menstruation in Chinese postmenopausal women.…”

“…In our research, none of the female respondents had BMI value ˂18,5 kg/m 2 . The statistically significant association between the BMI and the T-score of the hip, as well as the T-score of the spine that was identified in our study is also confirmed in the research of Zvekić-Svorcan et al [20], showing that there is a relationship between persons' BMI and their lumbar spine and hip T-scores i.e. there is association between the decreased BMD and the low BMI [20].…”

Introduction. Osteoporosis is a complex, multi-factorial bone disease leading to increased risk of fracture. Calcium as a nutrient is associated with the formation and metabolism of bone. The inadequate calcium intake leads to decreased bone mineralization and consequently an increased risk of osteoporosis. Materials and methods. The study group was constituted by 104 postmenopausal women. Bone mineral density (BMD) at the participants' lumbar spin and hip was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The daily calcium intake (DCI) was assessed using a validated quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Each participant also completed a core questionnaire that included general demographic data as well as questions about personal and family history of fractures, menopause onset, lifestyle behaviors, and corticosteroids use. Results and discussion. The mean daily calcium intake among our study participants was 854.3±260.4 mg which is below the calcium recommended nutrient intake (RNI) for postmenopausal women. This study's findings confirmed that the reduction of the bone mineral density (BMD), reported using T-scores, depends on age and choice of measurement site. Our results also showed that higher body mass and body mass index (BMI) in participants are associated with higher BMD. The reduced bone density among postmenopausal women was related with the existence of previous personal fractures and the family history of fractures in diagnosed persons. The insight into exogenous risk factors of osteoporosis in this study showed that the most of the participants consume caffeine every day and have insufficient physical activity and sun exposure. Conclusions. Education on the importance of calcium in the diet and knowledge on the lifestyle factors that affect bone loss are needed toward decreasing risk for osteoporosis and related fractures in postmenopausal women.

“…Aerobic exercise can be successfully used to regulate the percentage of fat in the organism, due to which BW and BMI were also monitored in this study. Some researches 35,36 show that thinner women with BMI lower than 19 kg/m 2 are at a higher risk of osteoporosis. Persons with higher BW also have higher BMD and are at a lower risk of osteoporosis 37,38 .…”

Physical activity and bone turnover in women with osteopenia

Background/Aim. Osteoporosis is a systemic disease of the skeleton characterized by a decrease in bone mass and changes in the bone structure. An increased tendency of the bone tissue for fractures occurs as a consequence of these changes. The initial phase of physiological aging of the bones that gradually leads to osteoporosis is osteopenia. This paper tracks the effects of a specific kind of physical exercise program in women with osteopenia. The aim was to quantify the impact of this program on: the concentration of bone metabolism blood markers, muscle strength, aerobic capacity, and physical dimensions. Methods. The sample consisted of 26 women in postmenopause (age 46-58) divided into two groups -experimental group (n = 15) and control group (n = 11). A combined program of exercise consisting of aerobic activities and strength training was applied in the experimental group, while the control group did not join in the exercise program. The program lasted for 7 weeks, three times a week with a break day between the trainings. The intensity of the aerobic training was in the span of 60% to 70% of heart rate reserve (HRR), and the intensity of the strength training was in the span of 60% to 85% of one repetitive maximum (1RM). Osteopenia was diagnosed prior to the experiment by applying a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry of the lumbar spine and the hip. The following was measured before and after the experiment: the level of biochemical markers in the serum [Beta-aspartic acid β-cross laps (CTx), total procollagen type 1 N-terminal peptide (tP1NP) and bone isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), 1RM of leg extensors, maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max), bodily height and mass, and a calculated Body Mass Index (BMI). Results. Significant changes were determined only in the experimental group. During the experimental period, there was a significant increase of muscle strength and VO2 max, with a decrease of Beta-CTx concentration. No statistically significant changes were recorded in the control group. Conclusion. A 7week period of systematic exercise showed to be sufficient to increase muscle strength and VO2 max, partially also to decrease bone resorption, but insufficient to alter bone volume, bodily mass, and BMI. ApstraktUvod/Cilj. Osteoporoza je sistemska bolest koštanog sistema koju karakteriše smanjenje koštane mase i promene u koštanoj strukturi. Povećana sklonost ka prelomima kostiju posledica su gore navedenih promena. Početna faza fiziološkog starenja kostiju je osteopenija, koja postepeno dovodi do osteoporoze. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrđivanje efekata aerobnih aktivnosti i vežbi snage na volumen kostiju žena sa osteopenijom. Efekat je utvrđivan procenom efekta vežbi na koncentraciju markera koštanog metabolizma u krvi, jačinu mišića, aerobni kapacitet i fizičke parametre. Metode. Uzorak je činilo 26 žena u postmenopauzi, koje su podeljene u dve grupe -eksperimentalnu (n = 15) i kontrolnu (n = 11). U eksperimentalnoj grupi primenjen je kombinovani program vežbanja koji se sa-stojao iz aero...
