Menopause is commonly associated with rapid bone loss and this bone loss manifests as a significant decrease in bone mineral density (BMD). Body weight or body mass index is the most important factor which influences BMD. Aim of this study was to evaluate the association between BMI and BMD in post menopausal women. Also to measure the correlation between age, duration of menopause, weight with BMD. This cross-sectional study was undertaken in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka from January, 2012 to December, 2012. The study included women of 50 to 70 years who had menopause with three or more parity. Total 100 women were evaluated by history taking, physical examination and laboratory investigation (BMD).The results showed that there was significant positive correlation between BMI and BMD value of L1-4 and total femur (Pearson‘s coefficient was +0.285, P<0.01 and +.350, P<.001). There was also significant positive correlation between weight and T- score of L1-4 (r =+ .482, P<.01) and Total femur (r = +.513, P< .01). In addition, significant negative correlation was found between BMD with age and duration of menopause. It can be concluded that in postmenopausal women as the BMI decreases bone mineral density also decreases. So, adequate weight and BMI necessary for the prevention of osteoporosis.

Risk factors for the prediction of osteoporosis are an important and cost effective method since osteoporosis is a silent disease. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the associations between weight, body mass index (BMI), the Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool (OST), and bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women in India. In this cross sectional study, 90 postmenopausal women aged 45–85 years who had given consent participated and the study was conducted between April, 2012 and May, 2013. BMD was measured by ultrasound bone densitometry at calcaneal site. Linear regression multivariate models were used to examine the associations with weight, BMI, OST, and BMD. Body weight, BMI, and OST had almost similar overall performance in their ability to classify women with BMD T-score ≤−2.5. Regression results showed that the linear combination of three independent variables BMI, OST and body weight. BMI predicted 65.7% of the variance in BMD, <em>R</em><sup>2</sup> = .657, <em>R</em><em><sup>2</sup></em><sup> </sup>adjusted = .609, (F=21.295, p&lt;.000). The strongest predictor of low BMD was BMI. BMI showed significant association with BMD with a correlation of .846. Low weight and BMI predict osteoporosis and are associated with increased risks in postmenopausal women. The negative impact of low body weight on bone health should be more widely recognized.
