Effect of calcium supplement and physical exercises on selected parameters of postmenopausal osteoporosis in women
Keywords:
calcium supplementation, physical exercise, bone mineral densityAbstract
The aim of this study to identify the effect of the calcium supplement & physical exercises selected parameters in postmenopausal women. Material and Methods: The study used a descriptive evaluative approach with a pre-experimental control before-after research design, in which investigators assessed the effects of calcium supplementation and physical exercise on selected parameters in postmenopausal women in the outpatient departments of selected Mumbai hospitals. The research comprised 30 postmenopausal women from Mumbai's orthopaedic outpatient clinics. A basic random sampling method was employed to select the sample. ECOS 16 Questionnaire and Mini Osteoporosis Scale were used to obtain data. Describing and inferential statistics were used to analyses the data. Result: According to the findings of this research, Posttest mean blood calcium level 8.64 with SD of ±0.302 was higher than the Pretest mean blood calcium level 8.22 with SD of ± 0.370. In the t-test study the gap in Pretest and Posttest average blood calcium level was found to be considerable at the level of 0.05 (t=3.45; p<0.00001). This means that calcium supplements and exercise have a positive influence on postmenopausal women's calcium levels.
