“…In addition, students also showed the lowest infection prevention behavior score compared to those in other occupations. This may be contextually in line with the findings of a previous study, 38 which indicated that young adults in their 20s show lower compliance with health management behaviors compared to those in other age groups because of their belief that they will be healthier; thus, continued research to develop measures to promote infection prevention behaviors among young adults is warranted.…”

This study aimed to develop a scale for measuring infection prevention behavior of individuals and to verify its validity and reliability for the general population. Patients and Methods: The scale items were selected using a literature review on the chain of infection and its content validity. There were 297 study participants, all of whom provided informed consent. Data were collected online from September 3 to September 8, 2020, using Google Survey in Korea. The scale's construct validity was verified through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, criterion validity was Pearson's Correlation, and reliability was tested using Cronbach's alpha. Results: Twelve items and three factors were selected after a factor and an exploratory factor analysis of 29 scale items. The three factors were pathogen blocking, transmission blocking, and immunity enhancement. A confirmatory factor analysis validated the model goodness of fit, and the convergent validity and discriminant validity of the scale were verified. The correlation coefficient with a scale for respiratory infection prevention practice was 0.69, thereby confirming the criterion validity of the scale. The reliability of the final scale (Cronbach's alpha) was 0.86. Conclusion:This scale is reflective of the social features of the Korean adult population, and it is easy and concise to be administered to general public, making it useful for subsequent studies on infection prevention.

“…[ 14 ] A comparative study of health-promoting behavioral scales, including exercise and nutrition, also reported that female college students engaged in significantly lower levels of health-promoting behaviors than their male counterparts. [ 15 ] These data shed light on the low compliance with osteoporosis prevention behaviors by women in their 20s and 30s, an optimal time for osteoporosis prevention. In particular, lifestyle factors such as physical activity and calcium intake in young female adults explained 58% to 69.8% of the variance in BMD, [ 8 ] highlighting the importance of identifying the predictors of osteoporosis prevention behaviors in women in their 20s and 30s to help them modify their lifestyle through education and ultimately achieve peak BMD.…”

There is a need to provide insight into the management and health care fields for the prevention of osteoporosis in young women by analyzing the factors affecting the prevention of osteoporosis. This descriptive survey aimed to identify the predictors of osteoporosis prevention behaviors in women in their 20s and 30s by examining their body mass index (BMI), weight control experience, osteoporosis knowledge, osteoporosis self-efficacy, and osteoporosis prevention behaviors. One hundred fifty participants were conveniently sampled, and data were collected from August to September 2020. Participants in their 20s and 30s completed a questionnaire concerning the general characteristics, osteoporosis-related characteristics, osteoporosis knowledge, osteoporosis self-efficacy, and osteoporosis prevention behaviors. Approximately 82.6% of the participants had at least 1 type of weight control experience. The mean participants’ age and BMI were 28.94 (±5.32) years and 21.62 (±3.21) kg/m2, respectively. No significant differences in weight control experience according to the participants’ characteristics were observed. However, significant differences were noted in BMI and age, osteoporosis knowledge and educational background, osteoporosis prevention behavior and educational background, and household type. Osteoporosis prevention behaviors were significantly positively correlated with weight control experience, osteoporosis knowledge, and osteoporosis self-efficacy. Osteoporosis prevention behaviors increased with increasing osteoporosis self-efficacy (β = 0.53, P < .001), among multiperson households (β = 0.20, P = .003), and among those with a weight control experience (β = 0.18, P = .007), and these factors explained 47.2% of the variance (F = 23.11, P < .001). Based on the study results, further studies are needed to identify and analyze the predictors of osteoporosis prevention behaviors in women to increase the awareness of osteoporosis and osteoporosis prevention and management in this group and expand similar efforts.
