| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A total of 19４ female college students were enrolled in this study. The BMD of the right calcaneus of all subjects was measured using Quantitative Ultrasound.The self-administered questionnaires consisted of questions concerning demographic characteristics such as body type and lifestyle-related factors. The biochemical markers of bone turnover and related factors were measured in Osteopenia group (16 subjects) and Normal group (31 subjects).
As a result, there were 23 subjects（11.9％） with low BMD. Furthermore,there is a possibility that the deficiency of the level of vitaminD and vitaminK affect bone turnover and BMD.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
若年女性を対象に、骨密度だけではなく骨代謝動態を測定し、客観的指標を基にしたビタミンD及びKの充足状況と関連を検証した研究は少ない。本研究はそれらのデータの希少性に加え、日常生活要因も含めて評価したことから、食生活のリズムや朝食の摂取頻度がビタミンD、Kの摂取量に関連していたことが明らかになった。よって、今後若年女性への骨粗鬆症予防の介入方法の具体策を考える上でも意義があったと言える。
