Abstract

Using data collected in the health promotion project in Saitama Prefecture in 1995, this study examined the relationship between women's bone mineral density and the number of childbirths. The data consisted of bone mineral density measured at Os calcis by ultrasound bone densitometer (Achilles, Luner) and answers to the questionnaire about age, stature, body weight, number of childbirths, and various items concerning lifestyle. Of 1, 173 women studied, 548 experienced menopause and 625 did not. Multiple regression analysis showed the positive correlation between bone mineral density and the number of childbirths among the subjects who experienced menopause and among the whole subjects. Among the primiparous and multiparous women who were over 45 years of age, the more childbirths the higher the mean bone mineral density, though the nulliparous women over 45 years had a higher density.
