“…There is currently no specific evidence addressing which kinds of vegetables are more valuable for bone health. Besides, dark-green vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables are reported to be a very important source of dietary calcium and usually contribute more calcium than other vegetables [8] , [14] .…”

“…The results, however, have not been always consistent. Some studies revealed a positive association between consuming vegetables and bone mineral density (BMD) [6] , [7] , [8] and reduced fracture risk [9] , [10] , but other studies have not shown this same results [11] , [12] , [13] . A majority of the studies that have produced positive findings were either cross-sectional or had a case-control design.…”

BackgroundThe aim of this prospective study was to investigate the relationship between lifestyle factors including nutrition intake and the incidence of fall-related fragility fractures in postmenopausal women.MethodsA total of 1169 female volunteers were recruited from participants at the morning health examinations held at each local public health center in the West Chiayi County of Taiwan at the beginning of the study. Laboratory examinations, anthropometric measurements, and questionnaire interviews inquiring about lifestyle factors, including weekly nutrition intake, were performed. Subsequently, four follow-up telephone interviews at intervals of about 6–12 months were performed to inquire about instances of falls and fractures.ResultsNine hundred and fifty-three subjects responded at least once to the four telephone interviews, and there were 183 postmenopausal women, with a mean age of 68.8 ± 8.3 (49–87) years, reporting falls. Of the 183 women, 25 had incurred new fractures from low-energy impacts. Statistical analysis revealed that older age and hypertension were associated with increased risks of falling. Intake of other deep-colored (nondark-green) vegetables and light-colored vegetables as well as total vegetable intake were associated with reduced risk of fall-related fragility fracture.ConclusionAmong postmenopausal women, older age and the presence of hypertension were associated with increased risks of falls. Increased vegetable intake might be helpful to reduce the incidence of fall-related fragility fractures.

“…The same results were obtained with other food items that were included. Fujii and his colleagues studied the everyday consumption of green and yellow vegetables and its impact on keeping up bone mass in young women [15]. They found that bone density is linked with lifestyle factors including good nutrition, in the light of the fact that vegetables and fruits, are rich in the nutrient vitamin C and their daily intake had a favourable effect to bone metabolism.…”

BACKGROUND:Osteoporosis is a global health problem, and its prevalence is rapidly increasing worldwide.AIM:The aim was to assess the awareness concerning some nutritional and socio-economic variables causes the disease in a sample of Egyptian women.METHODS:This study was done among 116 female volunteers. They were divided into two groups, pre and post-menopausal, with a mean age of 42.05 ± 8.25 & 51.13 ± 5.82 years and mean body mass index (BMI) of 30.83 ± 8.18 & 34.24 ± 8.80 kg/m2. A standardised questionnaire, socioeconomic and food frequency chart were used to assess osteoporosis and food intake awareness. Bone mineral density was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Statistical analyses were done using simple percentage and Chi-square test.RESULTS:Data revealed that a low percentage of pre and post-menopausal women were aware of osteoporosis and fracture (16.67% & 12.96% and 30.65% & 19.35%). They had incomplete knowledge about the sources and the beneficial effects of consumption of calcium and vitamin D rich diet. Non-osteoporotic women showed more awareness. Odds ratio predict occupations and educations levels as risk factors for osteoporosis.CONCLUSION:Awareness about osteoporosis and consumption healthy diet were low among Egyptian women, so it is important to implement special osteoporosis prevention program.

“…A recent study of 103 female Japanese college students, aged 20–21 years, cross-sectionally evaluated green and yellow vegetable intake with bone area ratio of the os calcis as a measure of bone mass [75]. By adjusted logistic regression, women without a daily intake of vegetables had a fivefold risk of having low bone mass.…”

Unlike pharmacological agents that are taken for proscribed periods of time, food and nutrient intakes have the possibility of affecting bone health over the entire lifespan. While deficiencies or excesses of individual nutrients have been shown to affect bone, it is likely that individual foods or dietary patterns have important effects related to skeletal health. While biochemical mechanisms exist to relate a deficiency of vitamin K to altered bone metabolism, clinical trials related to supplementation of this nutrient have been confusing. It is likely that these disparate results are related to the fact that interactions of nutrients have not been considered or the possibility that suboptimal nutrient status is a marker of poor nutritional status. Vitamin A excess has been postulated to be related to high fracture risk; however, it is likely that retinol is not the best marker for the proposed interaction. Altering whole food patterns, such as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet, have demonstrated beneficial effects on bone metabolism. Individuals who select some vegetarian patterns may need to consider supplementation with nutrients such as calcium and protein. Future studies should center on whole food and dietary patterns and their relationship to bone metabolism and fracture risk.
