“The objective of this study was describe boné mineral density evaluated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) method in women with breast câncer. It was used a Descriptive cross-sectional study nested in a cohort, with women with breast câncer, treated at Mastology program of a federal public hospital in Goiânia, Goiás. It was Evaluated if boné mineral density, using a model equipment DPX NT GE©, with acknowledgment of boné mineral density in two body compartments: column and dual fêmor classified as normal (with T-score> 1.1), presence of osteopenia (with T-score between -2.4 and 1.1) and osteoporosis (with T-score <-2.5), as expressed analysis in the graph generated by the device after verification. The sample size was 58 women, average (mean) age 51.23 ± 11.01 and age ranging between 31 and 74 years. Women were classified as elderly (29.31%, n = 17) and adult (70.69%, n = 41). The assessment of bone mineral density was observed in the group of adult 60.98% (n = 25) were classified within the normal range, 36.59% (n = 15) with the presence of osteopenia and 2,44 % (n = 1) with osteoporosis. Regarding the group of older, 47.06% (n = 8) were within the suitable parameters for bone mineral density, 23.53% (n = 4) showed osteopenia and 29.41% (n = 5) osteoporosis. It was observed that the group of adult had adequate bone mineral density compared to the elderly and the presence of osteoporosis was higher in the latter group (p<0.05). Considering that the reduction in bone mass follows aging, the data show the need to follow up with individualized nutritional intervention for women with breast cancer with specific and appropriate diet plan for prevention and no progression of bone loss in both ages.

Key words: bone mineral density; osteorporosis; post- menopausal; breast cancer.
