Menopause causes a significant decrease in estrogen levels that affect various conditions in the body, one of which is
changes in bone that occur due to low estrogen. Osteoporosis is a progressive chronic bone disorder caused by reduced
bone mass and changes in structure in bone microarchitecture tissue that increases the risk of fracture and can reduce
quality of life, especially in menopausal women. Soy milk contains phytoestrogens so that can relieve menopausal
symptoms. To prove whether there is an influence of soy milk on bone mineral dencity in menopausal women who are at risk
of osteoporosis. Experimental study with pre and post test group design. Sampling technique with simple randomization.
The sample of 30 postmenopausal women who were given soy milk as much as 250 ml / day for 3 months. Before and after
the intervention Bone Mineral Dencity (BMD) examination was performed with osteopeni and osteoporosis results.
The mean value of BMD before intervention was -2.5833 The mean value of BMD after the intervention was-2.2267 The
difference in BMD before and after the intervention with p = 0.001. There is an effect of 250 ml / day soy milk on BMD in
