| مستخلص: | The aim of this study was to assess the impact of yoghurt consumption on bone health among postmenopausal Latvian women. In the study, 52 participants were divided into two groups — control (n = 26) and experimental group (n = 26). Both study groups were able to consume a self-selected diet, but the experimental group had to additionally consume 175 g of plain organic milk yoghurt on a daily basis for eight weeks. 72-hour food diaries were obtained prior to and after the eight-week experiment. To evaluate bone mass density, a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) was performed prior to the eight-week experiment. 25-OH-Vitamin D and calcium blood serum levels were evaluated prior to and after the eight-week experiment. DEXA revealed osteoporotic values at the lumbar spine or femoral neck region for ten participants. The 25-OH-Vitamin D blood serum level among the participants was sufficient (30.0–44.9 ng·ml-1). Calcium blood serum levels were within reference values (2.1–2.6 mmol·l-1) for all participants. No significant difference was found regarding yogurt consumption and calcium blood serum levels (p= 0.400). Although the majority of participants noted milk and milk product consumption on a daily basis, the daily calcium intake only reached the lowest recommended value for adults (800 mg). Vitamin D intake from food and dietary supplements significantly varied (0 to 302.08 µg a day). For the prevention of osteoporosis, it is necessary to promote the consumption of fermented milk products and vitamin D supplementation among postmenopausal women. |
