“…The majority of the studies were descriptive ( n = 16), of which 14 used the OHBS and 10 used the OSES to assess health beliefs [20–35]. Only seven descriptive studies [24–26, 28–30, 34] and one intervention study [18] assessed men's health beliefs using the OHBS and OSES, and the majority of studies had a study population with mean age ≥ 45 years [15, 16, 19–21, 23, 24, 26–32]. …”

“…Health motivation scores (15.0 to 24.8) were moderate to high overall (Table 1) [21–29, 32, 33]. A closer assessment of the results in men and women showed women appear to have greater perceived susceptibility to osteoporosis, greater perceived benefits of calcium intake, fewer perceived barriers to calcium intake, and less health motivation compared to men [21, 23–29, 32, 33]. …”

Osteoporosis is major public health concern affecting millions of older adults worldwide. A systematic review was carried out to identify the most common osteoporosis health beliefs in adult men and women from descriptive and intervention studies. The Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale (OHBS) and Osteoporosis Self-efficacy Scale (OSES) evaluate osteoporosis health beliefs, including perceived susceptibility and seriousness, benefits, barriers, and self-efficacy of calcium and exercise, and health motivation, and their relationship to preventive health behaviours. A comprehensive search of studies that included OHBS and OSES subscale scores as outcomes was performed. Fifty full-text articles for citations were reviewed based on inclusion criteria. Twenty-two articles met the inclusion criteria. Greater perceived seriousness, benefits, self-efficacy, health motivation, and fewer barriers were the most common health-belief subscales in men and women. Few studies were interventions (n = 6) and addressed osteoporosis health beliefs in men (n = 8). Taking health beliefs into consideration when planning and conducting education interventions may be useful in both research and practice for osteoporosis prevention and management; however, more research in this area is needed.

“…These factors might be the determinants of placing participants in higher stages and resulting in increasing calcium intake. Although Cline and Worley 36 did not take various stages into consideration as in their study, they found that people who believed themselves susceptible to osteoporosis and perceived the benefits to be obtained from taking calcium in fact took significantly more calcium.…”

Osteoporosis has been recognized as a major public health problem by healthcare providers in Saudi Arabia. The present study examines the osteoporosis knowledge, health beliefs, and some of the life habits in two different Saudi women's groups (with family history, and without family history), to find the association of their knowledge and health beliefs with their preventive practice. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among a convenience sample of 288 young age (20 to 40 years) women attending the health centers in Al-Hassa, Saudi Arabia. Both groups had an inadequate daily calcium intake with a significant difference between them. The women without family history had low mean of knowledge (8.9 ± 2.7) compared with family history group (9.3 ± 2.7) with a significant difference (p = 0.04). Based on the Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale (OHBS) subscale mean score, the perceived susceptibility and perceived severity were lower in women without family history with a significant difference between the groups (p = 0.02, 0.00; respectively). The family history group had lower mean score barriers of calcium intake and exercise with a significant difference between groups (p = 0.017, 0.013; respectively). Statistically significant correlation was found between calcium intake and OHBS subscale perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits of calcium intake and exercise, and perceived barriers of exercise only for the family history group. This study indicates inadequate daily calcium intake, with moderate knowledge of osteoporosis in Saudi women and highlights the need for diet and life habits interventions to improve calcium intake and exercise, which may help to reduce the burden of osteoporosis in Saudi Arabia.
