Climacteric period especially in menopause is a definite time in the life of a woman. There are many physical and psychological changes that occur in a woman in those days, as a result of decreased estrogen in the body. One of the things that happens is the loss of bone mass so that the estimated prevalence of osteoporosis or bone loss increases. This occurs after a woman has menopause, because at that time the hormone estrogen production is low. The purpose of this study Analyzing the influence of soybean milk on decreased waist pain in pre menopausal women. This research used Quasi Experimental method with research design pre test-post test control group design. The population in this study was pre-menopausal women aged 40-50 years who experienced low back pain. Quota of sample of sample was 20 sample as experiment group and 20 sample as control group so total sample count was 40 people. The result of the research showed no effect on low back pain due to many factors that accompany the woman pre manoupouse that is accompanying disease factor such as uric acid and diabetus militus, job factor which demanded many respondent sitting and standing based on table in chapter V got result that most of the respondents work as teachers and traders 55% other than that the activity at home also affect the reponden like daily household work.data said that most respondents have many children / multipara of 75%, so the provision of soy milk no effect to the respondent.

Abstract Objective To identify a diagnostic indicator of lumbar spondylolysis visible in plain X-ray films. Methods One hundred and seventy-two patients with low back pain who received X-ray and computerized tomography (CT) examinations were identified and studied. They were divided into three groups: the spondylosis without spondylolisthesis (SWS) group, comprising 67 patients with bilateral pars interarticularis defects at L5 and without spondylolisthesis, the isthmic spondylolisthesis (IS) group, comprising 74 patients with L5/S1 spondylolisthesis and bilateral L5 pars interarticularis defects, and the control group, comprising 31 patients with low back pain but without spondylolysis. The sagittal diameters of the vertebral arch (SDVAs) of L4 and L5 were measured in lateral X-ray image, and the differences in SDVA between L4 and L5 (DSL4-5) in each case were calculated and analyzed. Results There were no significant differences in demographic characteristics among the three groups. In the SWS and IS groups, the SDVA of L5 was significantly longer than the SDVA of L4 (p < 0.001), whereas no significant difference found in the control group (p > 0.05). DSL4-5, in which the SDVA of L4 was subtracted from the SDVA of L5, significantly differed among the three groups (p < 0.001), and the normal threshold was provisionally determined to be 1.55 mm. Conclusions In bilateral L5 spondylolysis, the SDVA of L5 is wider than the SDVA of L4, and this difference is greater in isthmic spondylolisthesis. This sign in lateral X-rays may provide a simple and convenient aid for the diagnosis of spondylolysis.
