Description
Summary:Two out of five Indonesian women have an increased risk of osteoporosis and are found in 85% of women who have undergone menopause for over 10 years. This study aims to determine risk factors for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women in Kelurahan Langgini Work Area, Bangkinang Health Center, Kampar Regency, Year 2010. The study design is a descriptive analytical approach with a cross-sectional method. The sample in this study consists of 51 postmenopausal women. Data processing is done using univariate and bivariate data analysis. The results show that 33.3% of respondents had osteoporosis, 33.3% of respondents have a skinny body type, 51.0% had low levels of physical activity (sports), and 54.9% had a poor diet. There is a significant relationship between body type, physical activity, and diet with the incidence of osteoporosis (P value 0.000 < alpha 0.05). The study recommends that the Chief of Bangkinang Health Center, Kampar Regency, establish a policy to conduct outreach programs for menopausal women as a routine health center activity. Additionally, nurses and midwives should provide education on the importance of physical activity (sports) and improvements in dietary habits for menopausal women.
