Introduction: Osteoporosis is a multifactorial disease and one of the most important modifiablefactors in the development and maintenance of bone mass are nutrition nutritional status and itsrelationship with Bone Mass Density (BMD) in postmenopausal women admitted in osteodensitometryCenter, Isfahan, Iran. Materials and Methods: Seventy‑two postmenopausal osteoporotic womenwere studied. BMD of the lumbar spine and total hip were measured using dual‑energy X‑rayabsorptiometry. Demographic and dietary intakes were collected by interview and using a validatedfood frequency questionnaires. T‑scores, Pearson correlation and one way analysis of variancetests were conducted to analyze the data. Results: Mean of age and duration of menopause wasnearly 57.5 ± 7.2 and 10.6 ± 7.1 years, respectively. The mean t‑scores for BMD of spine and hipwere 0.877 ± 0.179 and 0.997 ± 0.21, respectively. The mean of calcium (Ca), phosphorous (P),fluoride (F), Vitamin D, K and Zn were less than DRI and Na more than it (all P value less than0.0001). BMD of hip was significantly correlated with dietary Ca, animal protein, Zn (P < 0.05), butBMD of spine did not show any significant correlation with nutrients (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Mostof the postmenopausal osteoporotic women in this study had a considerable deficiency in terms ofmicronutrients such as Ca, vitamin D and P, which can be deleterious for bone health.
