Abstract
Contrasts in argument about obesity and osteoporosis still concerning number of researchers. Published literatures mentioned many reasons for why such contradictory results were obtained. In this study some of the factors that believed to affect osteoporosis will be considered and investigated. Age of participated women ranged between 42-79 years. Out of 110 participants, 75 (68.18%) were practicing osteoporosis whereas 35 (31.82%) were not. The study revealed that weight and age are not risk factors of fracture. Family history is not associated with osteoporosis. Vitamin D deficiency and incidence of fractures are found to be significantly associated at p-value less than 0.01. Percentage of vitamin D deficiency in women with fractures was 55.81% while those without fractures was 44.19%.
