The distal intestinal microflora was investigated in 25 women aged from 50–79 years old, health and with osteoporosis, depending on their nutrition. The quantitative representation of intestinal microflora in women with osteoporosis confirms the dysbacteriosis induced by decreased concentration of bifid and lactic bacteria and enhanced concentration of negative microflora. Seventy-eight nutrients in investigated women were analyzed. Food ration of the patients with osteoporosis was found to be more caloric and enriched with essential nutrients in comparison with the food ration of health women. Bone density mass was analyzed depending on the quantitative representation of 9 groups of microorganisms from distal intestine. Enhanced concentration of Enterococcus in distal intestine was significantly associated with worse structure functional condition of bone tissue.
