Osteoporosis Knowledge, Osteoporosis Preventing Behavi̇ors and Eating Habits Among Highly Educated Young Premenopausal Turkish Women

“…We mainly discussed the studies that have been conducted on highly educated women. Studies utilizing the OKT or similar instruments have also reported poor to moderate levels of knowledge, with mean total scores between 42% and 74% [12][13][14]. Peng et al (2020) studied with orthopedic nurses and found overall knowledge of osteoporosis was moderate-to-low (11.4±2.5, out of 17 or 58%) similar to the present study results [12].…”

In the study by Ishtaya el.…”

“…In eating habits, although most of the women (95.7%) consume dairy products, the rate of adequate consumption (≥3 servings/day) of dairy products (14.3%) was not high as expected. Most of the studies evaluating osteoporosis knowledge focus on the knowledge level and health beliefs about osteoporosis, the knowledge of the importance of calcium intake, and the importance of exercise [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].

Knowledge of osteoporosis prevention among people with endocrine disorders: A cross‐sectional study

“…The high prevalence of osteoporosis also incurs high medical costs of related treatment in China. In 2010, there were 2.33 million cases of brittle fractures in China, with a total medical cost of RMB 64.8 billion (Peng et al, 2020). A recent study projected that the standardized prevalence of osteoporosis ranged from 5.04% to 7.46% in males aged ≥50 years and from 26.28% to 39.19% in females aged ≥50 years from 1990 to 2050 (Cui et al, 2019).…”
