Abstract
Background: Worldwide, osteoporosis causes more than 8.9 million fractures annually and it takes a huge personal and economic toll on health care systems. Physical activity is one of the risk factors that can lead toosteoporosis. Therefore, we aimed to determine the relationship between physical inactivity and its effect on bone mineral density (BMD) among elderly patients at Security Forces Hospital, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Security Forces Hospital in Riyadh during August of 2015. We selected 109 elderly patients (age > 60), who were diagnosed with osteoporosis and recorded BMD levels at the hospital. Data were collected from patient files and interviews. The research members collected data through a questionnaire by interviewing the patients after obtaining their BMD levels. Data were analyzed with Statistical package for social sciences program version 16.0.
Results: Approximately, 42 of the selected patients (28.9 %) had the most severe form of osteoporosis (BMD-3) and all of them were physically active. Only 23 of the patients (21.3%) were moderately active and had a less severe form of osteoporosis (BMD levels were −2.4 or "osteopenia" (p ≤ 0.001) which indicated that there was a significant statistical relationship between physical inactivity and osteoporosis.
Conclusion: The study found a significant relationship between physical inactivity and the severity of osteoporosis; the physically inactive patients had very low BMD levels, on the other hand, the physically active patient had a better level of BMD.

Key words: Bone mineral density, Osteopenia, physical inactivity, General Practice Physical Activity Questionnaire
