“…However, we found no difference between the groups regarding their knowledge levels about OP risk factors and complications. Some previous studies have indicated that the knowledge level about OP was not influenced by pre-or postmenopausal status, similar to our study [15,16]. Regarding the knowledge about OP risk factors, we found that even if the participants were aware of the definition of OP, they were not aware of the risk factors to the same extent.…”

Although half of the pre- and postmenopausal women reported having some awareness of OP, their level of knowledge was poor, particularly with regard to the risk factors associated with the condition and its complications. Having information about the risks of OP and a better understanding of the health beliefs of those at risk are important, as both may play a major role in influencing an individual's OP-preventing behaviors.

“…In order for women to make conscious choices about prevention, they need to know what OP is and what preventive behavior would be helpful. Studies have shown that many women do not have a clear understanding of OP and the knowledge they do have may not be linked to their behavior [8,[14][15][16][17][18].…”

The mean age was 47.7 years in HIV-seropositive women, and 75 % had nadir CD4 above 200, and 77.8 % had viral load below the detection limit. The mean age in the HIV-seronegative women was 49.8 years. The prevalence of low spinal BMD was 14.6 % in the HIV-seropositive and 4.6 % in the HIV-seronegative women (p < 0.01). The prevalence of low BMD at the femoral neck was 5.6 % in HIV-seropositive and 3.3 % in the HIV-seronegative women (p = 0.38). Multiple analyses showed that the factors associated with lower BMD at the spine were being postmenopausal and being HIV-seropositive. Being overweight was associated with a higher BMD. At the femoral neck, factors associated with lower BMD were being postmenopausal and being white. Being overweight and having a greater number of pregnancies were associated with higher BMD CONCLUSIONS: HIV-seropositive women on long-term antiretroviral treatment and in good immunological conditions exhibited low BMD in the spine (L1-L4). However, BMD in the femoral neck was similar to non-infected women.
