Keywords:

This study is a descriptive correlational research design aiming to evaluate the factors related to bone mineral density in middle-aged women. The sample group was 40-60 year old women that were referred for bone mineral density by the Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) at the Nuclear medicine Unit at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, the Thai Red Cross Society. Simple random sampling was used to recruit 193 samples. The research instruments consisted of Personal Information Questionnaire, Life Stress Questionnaire, Osteoporosis Preventive Behavior Questionnaire and the weight record form, the results of the examination of bone mineral density and interpretation. Life stress questionnaire and Osteoporosis preventive behavior questionnaire with Cronbach's alpha coefficient of .81 and .80. The data were analyzed by using statistics for descriptive, independent t-test, and Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient.
The results of this study showed that samples had low level of life stress (M = 14.30, SD = 5.60), moderate level of osteoporosis prevention behavior (M = 67.29, SD = 8.42), and 55.4 % had osteopenia. The mean score on bone mineral density of the menopause group was significantly higher than those in the menopause group (t = 7.409, p < .05). Life stress was significantly negative correlated in a low level with bone mass density (r = -.219, p < .01) and preventive behaviors of osteoporosis was significantly positive correlated in a low level with bone mass density (r = .168, p < .05).
