Poor combination of dietary intake and lifestyle in postmenopausal women would increase the rate of bone loss. The main objective of this research was to learn factors that related to bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. This was a cross sectional study from 60 patients that have examined their bone status using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)in 2004. Bone mineral density value, dietary intake using semi quantitative FFQ (Food Frequency Questionnaire), demographic and socioeconomic data were collected in this study . Statistical analysis used in this study was descriptive analysis. T-test. Pearson correlation test and stepwise multiple linear regression for all independent variable with bone density using SPSS version 11.5
