Low bone mineral density is a risk factor of osteoporosis in old and young women. This study was carried out to identify bone mineral density(BMD), body composition, lifestyle and dietary behavior of women. The study subjects, 190 young women living in Seoul, were divied into three age groups: 20~24 years, 25~29 years and 30~39 years and BMD normal and risk group. The rate of normal, osteopenia and osteoporosis subjects by BMD were 60.5%, 38.4%, 1.1%, respectively. The rate of (45.2%) in 20~24 years group was significantly higer than the other age groups. There was significant higher in mean body muscle mass, protein, mineral, body fat of normal group. The rate of women who walk and are exposed to sunlight more than 1hr per day were significantly higher in 20~24 years group than the others. However, the score of food behaviors is significantly higher(bad) in 20~24 years group than the others. Dietary habits were not different in the groups. In conclusion, the risk rate of BMD was very high(40%) of the subjects. The food behaviors were not healthy enough. Therefore nutrition education is need for bone health.
