Description
Summary:The relationships between calcaneal bone mass and dietary/lifestyle habits in women at 3–4 months postpartum were examined in the context of osteoporosis prevention. Cross-sectional survey. We measured bone mass using calcaneal ultrasound in mothers who brought their 3- to 4-month-old babies to healthcare centers in Japan for health examination and administered a self-report questionnaire on physical characteristics and dietary/lifestyle habits to those who agreed to participate in the survey. Valid data were available for 1220 women (valid response rate, 97.5%). Based on their stiffness score, a measure of bone mass, 70.9% (n = 865) of the participants were classified as ‘no apparent abnormality (stiffness score ≥78.8)’ (low-risk group), 18.2% (n = 222) as ‘guidance required (≥70.1–
