Abstract
Perimenopausal Hispanic women need to be able to build and sustain peak bone mass, but this may be affected by their low socioeconomic status. This feasibility research study provided descriptive information on the relationship between calcium consumption and bone mass measured with sonography at the calcaneus. Little research exists to examine bone health with this specific age or ethnic group of women. This research found a strong positive correlation between the amount of self-reported calcium food consumed and the bone stiffness index recorded using quantitative sonography. The translational impact of this project will inform the development of culturally relevant patient education for Hispanic women of low socioeconomic status to encourage the development of peak bone mass.
