| Research Abstract |
For the prevention of osteoporosis, it is important to increase peak bone mass as well as to keep healthy diet and physical exercise. To institute an educational program designed to increase bone mass in school curriculum, we investigated the following studies.
1. We measured speed of sound, transmission index and osteo sono-assesment index (OSI) at the calcaneus and bone mass density (BMD) by dual energy X-ray absorptionmetry of 42 students (19 male and 23 female), and examined the correlation between OSI and BMD.
2. We assessed OSI in 162 Japanese students and 117 Chinese students in Japan and examined the association with dietary habits and physical activities inquired by quetionaire.
3. We assessed OSI in Japanese adolescents from 9 to 18 years old and examined the association with dietary habits and physical activities inquired by quetionaire.
Programs for high school students including the measurement of OSI were designed, and effectiveness of the programs was assessed.
