Collaborative Research and Support of Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center DWH Research Program Projects. Assessment of Dietary Calcium Intake, Physical Activity and Habits Affecting Skeletal Health Among Premenopausal Military Women. Protocol 9

Abstract

The attainment of peak bone mass during the premenopausal years is critical in preventing osteoporosis later in life. The purpose of this study is to survey 1,000 active duty military premenopausal women in regards to skeletal health habits such as current levels of calcium intake, exercise, smoking, alcohol intake, menstrual regularity, and parity. We further wish to measure bone density in a subset of 100 women to determine which factors correlate best with optimal peak bone mass.
