As well as dietary intake were calculation of each individual throughout a 24-hour period. The chronic MSKDs and protein was associated with upper back(p=0.046), carbohydrate was associated with LBP (p=0.005), hip pain (0.008) and knee pain (0.002) while fat was associated with shoulder pain (p=0.007*), wrist pain (p=0.002*), hip pain (p=0.044*), knee pain (p=0.002*), and ankle pain (p=0.010*) but acute pain was only associated with carbohydrate (p=0.012) which had significant. ConclusionPost menopausal women with acute MSKDs had suchlike no relation with regular dietary habit but a substantial association was seen with some chronic MSKDs.
