Introduction: Osteoporosis is a bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both. As a result, bones become weak and may break from a fall or, in serious cases, from sneezing or minor bumps. The aim of the study was to assess dietary Factors Associated with Osteoporosis among Post-Menopausal Women. Material & Methods: This was an analytical cross-sectional study at the department of Obstetrics & Gynecology of 250 bedded General Hospital, Jamalpur, Bangladesh during the period from January 2018 to December 2018. Results: Out of 300 post-menopausal women the maximum number of respondents were from the age group of 45-55 years (42.33%) followed by 56-65 years (27.67%) and >85 years (4.33%). The mean age of the respondents was 65.66±12.31 years and the mean age at menopause was 47.35±3.78 years. Maximum respondents were from overweight (42.67%) whereas the least number of respondents were from underweight (1.67%). The mean BMI of all respondents was 27.39±4.93. Most of the patients experienced menopause for last 6-10 years (63%) whereas the least number of patients experienced menopause for only 1-5 years (11%). 183 (61%) respondents stated that they did not take any milk specific diet like milk, yogurt, sweetmeats, card etc. regularly whereas rest 117 (39%) agreed that they took milk or dairy products in any form mentioned above. Among 300 respondents, it was observed that 45 (15%) did not take tea in their day to day life while the number of habits of not taking coffee was 285 (95%). Habit of taking tea was found in 255 (85%) respondents and coffee having habit was found in case of 15 (5%) respondents. Compared to the respondents who experienced menopause >10 years were suffered from osteoporosis 0.0751 times more in comparison to the respondents who experienced menopause for the duration of ≤10 years, which is statistically highly significant at 5% level of significance (95% CI: 0.0101-0.5582, p=0.0012). Conclusion: Milk or milk related product regularly have less likely to have osteoporosis than those who do not take any of these daily. So, it was significant that post menopause women who takes milk daily have less risk of osteoporosis.
