Abstract

An effective nutrition and health education strategy to prevent osteoporosis was examined by analyzing the factors related to the bone mass of female college students. Eight factors were related to the osteo sono-assessment index (OSI): the meat and poultry intake frequency, stir-fried food intake frequency, body mass index (BMI), understanding of proper weight, experience of dietary restriction, exercise habits, sources of information about nutrition, and food preferences. A multiple– regression analysis was used to examine the relationships between OSI and these eight factors. BMI had the greatest influence on OSI, and a principal component analysis showed that the food intake pattern was characterized by a preference for meat and poultry. These results show that maintaining a healthy BMI and improving the intake pattern of preferred foods are important factors related to nutrition and health education for preventing osteoporosis in female college students.
