Osteoporosis is a multifactorial system illness of the bones that occurs very frequently (like tumours and cardiovascular illnesses). It is also an illness that is partly preventable. The goal of this article was to find out whether the total energy intake and the intake of macronutrients and micronutrients are sufficient for the respondents. There were 60 patients with decreased bone density who suffered from osteopenia or osteoporosis. The respondents' average age was 71.9 years and the average Body Mass Index (BMI) was 26.4 kg/m2. We used questionnaires and forms to record the patients' daily intake. We found that energetic nutrition and the intake of basic nutrients were mostly sufficient. Although a significant number of patients intentionally tried to include calcium in their daily nutrition, the total calcium intake only from food was not sufficient. For this reason, it is necessary to put a greater emphasis on education.
