Osteoporosis is a major health problem that affects many people. The cheapest and the most effective way for coping with this disease is preventation, that the risk factors are significant. The aim of this study was to compare in postmenopausal women lomber and femur bone mineral density (BMD) value with age, menopausal age, daily intake of calcium, consumption of tea and coffee , body mass index (BMI), count of birth and exercises. This study was performed with T scores of lomber 2-4 and femoral BMD was searched. Significant correlation between exercises and T score of BMD at L2-4 level was detected according to point double series correlation technique. According to Pearson's correlation technique, meaningful correlation was detected between the age and duration of menopause and T scores of femur neck and BMI (p<0.05). There was statistically significant correlation between age, menopausal age, daily intake of calcium, consumption of cofee and tea, body mass index (BMI), count of birth, exercises and lomber spine L2-4 (R:0.514, R2: 0.264, p< 0.05 ) and femoral neck BMD (R:0.709, R2: 0.502, p< 0.001 ) measured by DEXA with logistic regression analysis.

In postmenopausal women it was observed that; BMD was decreasing with the improvement of age and duration of menopause, while BMD scores were increasing with the high BMI and regular exersises.

We concluded that, the assesment of risk factors may be helpful for prevention of osteoporosis.
