Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the association of selected nutrients (protein, calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D) and BMD in Hispanic subjects. Methods: This was a prospective three‐month uncontrolled intervention pilot study. A culturally sensitive diabetes education program was conducted to determine the clinical impact on glycemic control in Hispanics subjects with type 2 diabetes. Besides glycemic control, BMD measured by fan beam DXA with Hologic QDR 4500‐A software version 8.1A and dietary intake measured by a validated food frequency questionnaires. Paired t‐tests and Wilcoxon sign rank test used to compare the change after intervention, while multiple linear regression used to determine the association between BMD and selected nutrients. Results: The study had 39 subjects, 59 % females, mean age 54 years old and 28.2 % had low BMD (T‐score ‐1 and less). Results showed there was no significant difference of T‐score (p=0.314), energy, protein, calcium, phosphorous, vitamin D, sodium, alcohol and caffeine intake before and after intervention. Adjusted for gender result showed there is no significant association between L total BMD (g/cmsq) and protein (p=0.694), calcium (p=0.419), phosphorus (p=0.551) and vitamin D (p=0.772) after intervention. Conclusions: There was no significant association between BMD and selected nutrients intake adjusted for gender in Hispanic subjects.
