“…Furthermore, Elgzar et al found that knowledge and health beliefs related to osteoporosis were significantly associated with OPB among premenopausal women. They further added that perceived susceptibility, perceived seriousness, exercises’ perceived benefits, and health motivations are positive predictors of high OPB [ 16 ]. Finally, Blalock et al found knowledge and attitude as positive predictors for calcium and exercise among the premenopausal [ 56 ].…”

“…Modifiable lifestyle factors include poor dietary habits, smoking and Alcohol, and sedentary life, while non-modifiable factors include age, genetics, and race. It is important to increase bone density during childhood and adolescence, maintain bone mass during the adult period, and minimize bone loss in older age to prevent or reduce the severity of osteoporosis [ 16 , 17 ]. While osteoporosis can impact both genders, it is more prevalent in women, with 80% of cases affecting them.…”

Osteoporosis is a chronic bone disease affecting both men and women, but it is more prevalent in women. Promoting a healthy lifestyle among adults, particularly women, is crucial in preventing and reducing the osteoporosis impact. This study aimed to compare the osteoporosis knowledge, health beliefs and preventive behaviors among adult male and female in Najran city Saudi Arabia. This cross-sectional study was performed on 516 males and 581 females in Najran City, Saudi Arabia, from January to April 2023. The data collection instrument is a self-reported online questionnaire consisting of basic data, the Osteoporosis Preventive Behavior (OPB) scale, the osteoporosis knowledge assessment tool, and the osteoporosis health belief scale. The results revealed that male participants had a higher OPB (26.70) than females (20.32). However, females have a higher knowledge (10.71), perceive themselves as more susceptible to osteoporosis (20.34) and had higher exercise barriers (20.11) compared to males (9.97, 18.79 and 19.20, respectively). Statistically significant correlations (p < 0.001) were observed between OPB, osteoporosis knowledge (r = 0.26), perceived susceptibility (r = 0.33), severity (r = 0.53), exercise (r = 0.54) and calcium (r = 0.33) benefits, exercise (r = 0.40) and calcium (r = 0.81) barriers and health motivation (r = 0.37). The study concluded significant disparities between males and females regarding osteoporosis-related knowledge, preventive behaviors, perceived susceptibility, severity, and exercise perceived barriers. The results suggest gender-based educational interventions to enhance OPB by addressing osteoporosis-related knowledge, perceived susceptibility, seriousness, benefits, and health motivation.

Background: Osteoporosis prevention at perimenpauseal period is crucial to diminish the risk of the disease and its complication in later years of life. Having good osteoporosis knowledge and positive health belief may lead to better preventive behavior which then contributes to build and maintain bone health throughout life. Aim of the study was to assess preventive health behavior and osteoporosis prediction among perimenopausal women. Study design: An analytical cross-sectional study was used. Setting: The current study was conducted at obstetrics and gynecologic clinic at the Zagazig university hospital's outpatient clinic. Sample size: A purposive of 153 women with inclusion criteria of per-menopausal women age ranged between 35-45 years. Five tools were used to collect the necessary data: an interview questionnaire Osteoporosis Knowledge Assessment, Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale Osteoporosis prevention behaviors Physiological measurement tool for the prediction of osteoporosis. Based on the present study Results 31.8% of study subject have osteopenia and 5.9% have osteoporosis, 21.3 % of the studied women had satisfactory level of total knowledge, 59.1% of study subjects had positive attitude and 59.1% had low level of preventative health behavior. Conclusion and recommendation: More than one third of study participants have osteopenia and less than ten percent have osteoporosis and more than half had low levels of preventative health behavior. The need for enhancement of the knowledge, attitudes, and osteoporosis protective behaviors of women in early age especially perimenopausal period. Emphasize the importance of routine measurement of BMD and serum calcium level every year for all pre and postmenopausal women.

Background People’s health belief has been an important factor affecting health behavior. However, there has been little use of the health belief model (HBM) in determining the pathway effect of patients’ health belief on sedentary behavior among patients with coronary artery disease (CHD). The goal of our study was to evaluate determinants of sedentary behavior among patients with CHD based on the HBM.Methods It was a cross-sectional study. A survey about health belief and sedentary behavior was completed by 379 adults with CHD from February to August 2023. The causal relationship between HBM-related factors and sedentary behavior was explored using a structural equation model.Results A total of 379 complete responses were included; 67.0% of participants were male. The mean sedentary time was (7.18 ± 2.64) h/d. The model fit the data from the study well. Perceived barriers (total effect 0.296, P < 0.01) had promoting effects on sedentary behavior among patients with CHD. Self-efficacy (total effect − 0.253, P < 0.01), the knowledge of sedentary behavior (total effect − 0.279, P < 0.01), perceived susceptibility (total effect − 0.084, P < 0.05), perceived severity (total effect − 0.317, P < 0.01), perceived benefits (total effect − 0.266, P < 0.01) and health motivation (total effect − 0.105, P < 0.05) had negative effects on sedentary behavior. The relationship between the knowledge of sedentary behavior, perceived severity, perceived barriers, and perceived benefits on sedentary behavior were moderated by self-efficacy. The health belief could explain 32.9% of sedentary behavior among patients with CHD (P < 0.05).Conclusions The HBM constructs can serve as good predictors of sedentary behavior. Community medical staff can develop targeted sedentary behavior interventions among patients with CHD based on the health belief model in the future.
