Original Research
Using a cluster sampling method, a group of menopausal women from three
geographic areas in Tehran were asked to participate in the study. Demographic
data was obtained using a questionnaire. Subjects were than referred to perform
bone mass densitometry (BMD). The relationship between various variables (i.e.
age of menarche, number of years of endogenous estrogen exposure, ... ) with mineral
density of the lumbar spine and femur were sought. Results showed that the
incidence of bone loss during menopause was high among these women. Earlier
age of menarche and longer reproductive years, higher BMI, previous usage of
OCP and HRT are likely to increase BM. Being active at home and doing household
chores can greatly influence the BMD of the femur. Poor dietary calcium
intake may be the main reason for low BMD among the studied subjects.
