Abstract

The prevalence of poor bone mineral density in women will have risen by 40% globally by 2050, which will significantly raise the burden of osteoporosis on future generations. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of nutritional intervention on bone mineral density among women in selected urban areas. A pilot study of true experimental research design of 20 women with the age of 30-50 years was assigned in two groups by simple random sampling technique. A standardized tool was used to assess the bone mineral density. In experimental group post-test 2, 60% had normal, 40% had mildly reduced bone mineral density. In control group post-test 2, 30%) had normal, 70% had mildly reduced bone mineral density level. The nutritional interventional package to the women in the experimental group had significant improvement in their posttest level of bone mineral density.
