Background: The main purpose of this study was to estimate the
associations between frequency of fish food consumption and
osteoporosis (OP) in general Chinese men. Methods: We conducted a
large-scale, community-based, cross-sectional study to investigate the
associations by using self-report questionnaire to access frequency of
fish food intake. A total of 1092 men were available for data analysis
in this study. Multiple regression models controlling for confounding
factors to include frequency of fish food consumption variable were
performed to investigate the relationships for OP. Results: Positive
correlations between frequency of fish food consumption and T score
were reported (\u3b2 = 0.084, P value = 0.025). Multiple regression
analysis indicated that the frequency of fish food consumption was
significantly associated with OP (P < 0.05 for model 1 and model 2).
The men with high frequency of fish food consumption had a lower
prevalence of OP. Conclusions: The findings indicated that frequency of
fish food consumption was independently and significantly associated
with OP. The prevalence of OP was less frequent in Chinese men
preferring fish food habits. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov
