“…More than half of the male participants consumed alcohol several times per week (women: 27.6% to 36.4%). Patients' knowledge of the inverse association between alcohol consumption and osteoporosis might be low [25,61]. Further research on this topic is needed to potentially optimize prevention strategies.…”

“…The preventive behavior for osteoporosis has not been studied extensively. Knowledge of osteoporosis-as one proposed influential factor for preventive behavior [24]-appears to be insufficient worldwide [25,26]. Von Hurst et al observed a small increase in knowledge with age in women, however, perceptions of personal susceptibility and seriousness remained on a low level [27].…”

Sustaining good bone health into older age is key for preventing osteoporosis. Bone health is associated with several lifestyle factors. This study investigates older adults’ adherence to bone health-promoting lifestyle recommendations dependent on osteoporosis status. Cross-sectional data of 1610 community-dwelling older adults (65–75 years) residing in Bremen, Germany (53.4% female) were included. The Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool and self-reported osteoporosis diagnosis were used to classify participants by osteoporosis status (low risk, high risk, diagnosis). Adherence to bone health recommendations regarding calcium and vitamin D intake, sun exposure, alcohol consumption, resistance/weight-bearing exercise, and physical activity were assessed. Descriptive statistics were applied, stratified by sex and osteoporosis status. A total of 91 women (10.6%) and 15 men (2.0%) reported an osteoporosis diagnosis, 457 women (43.2%) and 311 men (41.4%) were classified as having a high risk, and 311 women (36.2%) and 425 men (56.6%) as having a low risk. Adherence to bone health recommendations was high for calcium intake (93.3–100.0%), vitamin D intake (77.8–93.3%), and sun exposure (86.7–97.7%). Lower adherence was observed regarding resistance/weight-bearing exercise (36.3–54.4%), physical activity (14.3–57.7%), and alcohol consumption (40.0–72.4%). In conclusion, tailored prevention strategies are needed that focus on older adults with an osteoporosis diagnosis or who are at high risk.

“…Thus, it is so important to spread information on osteoporosis in the population and to promote a healthy and active lifestyle. According to the authors, knowledge of the disease in Poland and in populations of other countries is insufficient in terms of its prophylaxis and prevention [ 4 , 25 ]. That is confirmed by the results of the study conducted in the Polish population by Janiszewska et al [ 26 ] which indicate that perimenopausal women perceive osteoporosis as a moderately serious health problem and do not feel particularly burdened with the risk of developing the disease [ 26 ].…”

“…In this study, the respondents' high scores may suggest that women accepted their chronic disease and felt it was well-controlled. On the other hand, their positive attitude may result from ignorance about the disease [ 4 , 25 , 26 ]. Higher acceptance of an illness improves cooperation between the patient and the physician, which translates into a better therapeutic effect.…”

Objectives: Assessment of the disease acceptance level in women with osteoporosis depending on selected sociodemographic factors. Material and Methods: The study included a group of 198 women, aged M±SD 72.3±8.59 years, diagnosed with postmenopausal osteoporosis and treated in 2 Osteoporosis Treatment Centres in Łódź. A questionnaire survey and Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS) were applied in the study. Based on the questionnaire, the authors collected sociodemographic data (including age, marital status, place of residence, financial status) which the authors subsequently analyzed using a statistical program. Results: The respondents living in the countryside, with primary education and a very difficult financial situation manifested a low disease acceptance level. The authors have shown that postmenopausal osteoporosis acceptance level significantly depends on the age (p = 0.0024), place of residence (p = 0.0044), education (p < 0.001) and affluence (p = 0.0049), however, it is not related to duration of the disease. Conclusions: Postmenopausal osteoporosis acceptance level depended on age, place of residence, education and affluence level, however, it was not related to the disease duration. Psychological aspects, including assessment according to the disease acceptance scale, constitute a factor influencing mental health, therefore they should be included in evaluation of therapy effectiveness in patients chronically treated for osteoporosis.

“…Osteoporosis is a progressive systemic skeletal disease, which affects more than 200 million people worldwide, resulting in reduced bone mass and increased fracture risk and is also called the epidemic of the 21st century [1]. It is often referred to as a 'silent disease because there are no apparent early symptoms.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine osteoporosis knowledge, osteoporosis preventing behaviors and eating habits among highly educated young premenopausal women under the age of bone mineralization termination. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 189 academic and administrative staff of Erciyes University, aged 18-35 years. The knowledge level of osteoporosis was evaluated with the Turkish version of the Osteoporosis Knowledge Test (OKT). Osteoporosis preventing behaviors and eating habits of participants were assessed. Despite the high educational level of women, they had poor levels of knowledge about osteoporosis. The mean total score for knowledge achieved by all women, out of a possible score of 24, was 14.08±3.69 or 58.6%. The mean nutrition subscale score was 9.63±3.07 and the exercise subscale score was 9.19±2.85. The total osteoporosis knowledge score and nutrition subscale scores were higher among women who have adequate consumption (≥3 servings/day) of dairy products (p
