Brief Summary
Low bone mineral density (BMD) has recently increased among young women. Soy Isoflavone as a food supplement, has been found to have potent effect on bone health in postmenopausal women. However, the effect of soy isoflavone on pre-menopausal is not well understood. This research is done to examine the effect of soy isoflavones on BMD among young university female students.
