Abstract

This is a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, which aims at evaluating the relationships between lifestyle and bone mineral density. The research involved 13 women between 40 and 75 years of age. The participants answered the following questionnaires: International Physical Activities Questionnaire (IPAQ), short version; the Individual Lifestale Profile Scale; and a questionnaire regarding the sociodemographic profile. All participants also went through the bone densitometry test and the Time Up and Go test. The average age was 60.7 years old (sd±10.3), with an BMI of 26.9kg/m2 (sd±4.3). 8% of them had smoking habits and 18% consumed alcohol. Most of them had diabetes mellitus (38.4%), dyslipidemia. In the group with a negative lifestyle there were two people with osteoporosis and one with osteopenia, while the group with a positive lifestyle, just one person with osteopenia. The individuals with a negative lifestyle had higher alterations in their body balance than those who had a positive lifestyle. It can be concluded that the loss of bone mass is more common among individuals with a negative lifestyle. The same can be said for the loss of postural balance.
