Abstract

　 The effects of lifestyle in the prevention of osteoporosis were examined through analysis of factors related to bone mass in women. A questionnaire survey on eating habits and daily physical activity was administered to 173 women (age, 18-79 years) in Gifu City. Osteo-sono assessment index (OSI) was determined using an ultrasound bone evaluation device that measures the speed of sound (SOS) and transmission index (TI) as ultrasound passes through the calcaneus; OSI was calculated as TI × SOS2. Body mass index (BMI), age and frequency of exercise were shown to influence OSI. Subjects who exercised every day and maintained a constant BMI had higher OSI than other subjects.
