The purpose of this project was to survey the relationship of osteoporosis among participants' demographic characters, behaviors of eating, health care, and exercise in women taking health screening in a community. 400 women taking part in a society health screening activity from Oct. 2003 to July 2004 were enrolled. The basic participants' demographic data, eating behaviors (including smoking, drinking, coffee, and tea consumption), heath care behavior (including taking calcium or vitamin supplement) and exercise behaviors were collected using questionnaire. The bone density of these subjects was measured by Quantitative Ultrasound. Independent t-test, unifactor variants, and linear regression were used for data analysis using SPSS 10.0 software. The results revealed that decreased bone density was found in 38.3% of tested women and 16.8% of them reached the diagnostic criteria of osteoporosis. The participants' osteoporosis level was significantly different because of age(F=14.45, p＜.0l), menopause(t=6.01, p＜.0l), body mass index (F=3.0l, p＜.05), educational level (F=4.52, p＜.0l) and daily activity gesture (t=4.7, p＜.0l). Standing posture was suggested for women dealing with daily activity as this posture helped to maintain the bone density. The incidence of osteoporosis could increase with aging. Therefore, health care education through public media can enrich the knowledge of health care in the population and adequate processes can be taken to prevent the development of osteoporosis.
