To find out the relationship between the physical activity and bone mineral density. To find out the risk factors associated with low Bone Mineral Density.
Subjects were selected according to inclusion criteria. Global Physical Activity Questionnaires were given to subject to fill it and scores of questionnaire were analyzed. Bone Mineral Density of each subject were taken with the help of quantitative ultrasonic bone densitometry.
