 note = {Female, junior college students reach the stage of peak bone mass and stand at an important turning point of bone mass maintenance when these enter college. In the present paper, measurement of bone mass of female students at a junior college was performed by the quantitative ultrasound (QUS) method (the measured values are expressed as osteosono-assessment indexes or OSIs) in association with the measurement of bone mass-influencing factors such as physical constitution (height, weight, body mass index), physical strength (maximum oxygen intake, grasp power), number of steps per day and survey of dietary intake. We compared these parameters between the low and high OSI groups and between the low and standard body mass index (EMI) groups. The results are: (1) Seventy percent of all subjects had a T score lower than 100. This means that the bone mass in the female college students studied tends to have generally lower values than the standard (an average of OSI of female young adults). (2) Twenty seven percent of the subjects had a EMI lower than 18.5 which was lower than the standard EM!. The OSI of the low EMI group was significantly lower than that of the standard EMI group. Positive correlations between the OSI and EMI in the high OSI group and also in all the subjects were observed. (3) Physical constitution, physical strength and number of steps of the subjects were not significantly different between the low and high OSI groups. However, the low EMI group had 2,000 fewer steps per day than that of the standard EMI group indicating low daily activity in the low EMI group. (4) Comparison of intake of foods classified by food groups between the low and high OSI groups indicated that there was a significant difference between meats and potatoes intakes. Intakes of milks, fishs, beans and fruits were high in the high OSI group suggesting that nutritional consideration was a factor in the high OSI group. (5) The low EMI group had a high intake of snacks, favorite soft drinks, fruits and milks, and a low intake of vegetables and seaweeds. A tendency of deviated food habit was observed.},
