Low protein intake impacts on bone mineral density

Background/Aim: Protein may play a positive beneficial role in the augmenting Bone Mineral Density (BMD), mitigation bone resorption and consequently risk of osteoporosis. The effect dietary protein be different older adults compared to younger adults, since this population has greater need for protein. aim study is investigate impact intake below Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) 0.8 g/kg /day from any source (Group I) on (BMD) higher ≥0.8 g/kg/day our Jordanian osteoporotic patients. Methods: This trial was single-center retrospective study, conducted 206 participants who attended rheumatology clinic between Sep 2021 Nov at Prince Rashid Bin Al-Hasan Military Hospital under ethical approval Ref #24, 1/2022. results were expressed as Mean±SD Mean difference±SEM. correlation strengths binary categorical variables also an odds ratio. FRAX score 3% used dichotomize overall cohort into two cohorts. Univariate Multivariate Linear Regression Tests sequentially abstract significant coefficients predicting 10-year fOHF risk.
