Purpose
In our study, we investigated the effect of dietary and drinking habits, the number of birth and the age of last delivery on bone mineral density (BMD), serum 25-hydroxivitamin-D (vit D) and beta-crosslaps level in a South Hungarian female population.
In Hungary, the maternal age at delivery started to increase. According to our health statistics in 2018 more women deliveried a baby over 40 years old, while less baby was born under the maternal age of 30 (1). So we wanted to investigate the effect of the age of last delivery (over 30 year-old) on bone mineral density (BMD) wether it could be an indication for postmenopausal osteoporosis. By this, lifestyle modifications and medical treatment initiated before menopausa could prevent bone loss and fracture.
We also examined the effect of dietary and drinking habits which also affect bone metabolism. The effects of these parameters on serum vit D level and beta-crosslaps (ß-CTx) (indicating bone resorption) levels were investigated too.
