Sažetak
Physical activity improves body composition and plays a substantial role in the development of bone mass and maintains the structure of bone throughout life. The aim of the study was to determine the correlation between physical activity and some dietetic and anthropometrical parameters. The study was carried out among 477 young women, 446 women with low bone mineral density (BMD) and 139 women with normal BMD detected by DEXA. Mean age was 21.6, 64.7 and 59.8 years respectively. The specially designed questionnaire provided information on physical activity and dietary intake. Each group of subjects were divided according to level of physical activity: higher (jogging, riding a bicycle, tennis, aerobic) and lower (house works, walking, gardening). Daily calcium intake was significantly different among higher and lower physical active young women (1505, 0 mg vs. 1378, 7 mg) and women with low BMD (1484, 9 mg vs. 1046, 7 mg). A significant difference of dietary fiber intake was detected only among women with low BMD (20, 0 g vs. 14, 1 g) and a significant difference of body mass index only among women with normal BMD (23, 7 kg/m2 vs. 26, 2 kg/m2) according to activity level. A lower number of people with a higher level of physical activity were smokers. People with higher levels of physical activity had higher daily calcium and fiber intakes, and lower body mass index than people with lower levels of physical activity.
