“…In contrast to earlier tailored intervention studies, we did not find significant differences in behavior change between groups. 20,21,23 However, small sample size and nondifferential bias may have decreased our ability to detect significant differences in adherence to nutrition and exercise recommendations. Furthermore, the pilot intervention may be effective for improving knowledge and behavior maintenance, but may require refinements to effectively promote significant behavior change.…”

“…Limited trials of osteoporosis risk reduction interventions have shown improved sustainability in behavior change and better adherence to osteoporosis prevention guidelines when such interventions are risktailored [20][21][22] or include patient education. 23,24 While these studies did not use the Internet as their modality, the Internet has capabilities suitable for delivering cost-effective tailored education materials to a wide variety of patient audiences. [25][26][27][28] Health interventions delivered via the Internet may also improve quality of clinical care while reducing health care spending.…”

The risk- and stage-tailored intervention was associated with improved knowledge but was not associated with significant behavioral improvements. Qualitative results suggest the intervention improved behavior implementation and maintenance. A refined intervention with additional tailoring capabilities could be used with Internet-based fracture risk assessment tools to confront the growing societal burden of osteoporotic fractures.

“…Health education programmes have been shown to improve selfmanagement by increasing knowledge, physical activity and calcium intake and according to the European Union, might contribute to the promotion of lifestyle improvements (Compstone, 2004). Compliance with the suggested interventions has been evaluated for short periods, and the findings indicate that there is potential for lifestyle change after educational programmes for people with osteoporosis (Chan, Chung & Day, 2005;Laslett, Neil & Lynch, 2004;Sedlak, Doheny & Jones, 2000;Curry, Hogstel, Davis & Frable, 2002).…”

Osteoporosis is a public health problem implying an increased risk of fractures. Successful fracture prevention contributes to prevention and treatment of osteoporosis as well as reduction of accidents from falling. Determinants such as lifestyle and environmental factors depend on human behaviour. In order to obtain a deeper understanding of the behavioural changes needed for fracture prevention, the aim of this study was to explore women's experience of living with osteoporosis and related lifestyle changes. In-depth interviews with 13 women diagnosed with osteoporosis were analysed according to the grounded theory method. The data formed a pattern in which developing healthy risk awareness is the key to motivating risk reduction behaviour as part of a fracture preventing lifestyle. The other five categories are elements in achieving healthy risk awareness: accepting having fragile bones, living with fear, needing to learn, and having confidence as well as experiencing a sense of social context. These findings might be useful to understand better the motivational process underpinning fracturepreventing behaviour among women with osteoporosis.

“…Pre-post and followup education data compared attitude and conception frequency before and after the education program. The study found that a targeted education program conducted on Hong Kong women resulted in significantly increased consumption of calcium including Soya-based foods, milk and vitamin D. 8 Osteoporosis is an established and well-defined disease that affects millions of people around the world and is a major cause of morbidity. Osteoporosis is a major public health threat for an estimated 44 million American or 55% of the people 50 years of age and older; in the US 10 million individuals are estimated to be already suffering from the disease and almost 31 million more are estimated to have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis multiple compression fractures of the vertebrae resulting in skeletal deformity.…”

Women have three phases: the first phase is childhood, pre-menarche before a girl has her first period, the second stage, the childbearing years, begins with the onset of menstruation, and the third stage, which begins at menopause, is called the "Crone" or "Wise Women" stage. Osteoporosis afflicts more women than men, particularly postmenopausal women, since their ovaries are no longer producing estrogen, which helps to maintain bone mass. Women lose bone density faster in menopause when estrogen level decreases. Osteoporosis is a bone disorder, in which bone mass in the body decreases, thus causing bones to become weakened to the extent that minimal trauma may cause fractures. It is believed that calcium and estrogen are the major factors in the building and maintaining of bone strength in women. The foundation of osteoporosis management consists of effective prevention techniques and maximizing bone density, minimizing bone loss (especially during menopause) and reducing the risk of falls. This mandates early intervention to ensure that calcium and vitamin D intake and exercise levels are adequate during childhood and adolescence and are maintained at satisfactory levels throughout life. It is of paramount importance to identify cases of postmenopausal women having osteoporosis, and enable early identification of severe problems and provide prompt management. An experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching program on knowledge of menopausal women regarding prevention and management of osteoporosis, attending Gynaecological OPD of Batra Hospital and Medical Research Centre, New Delhi. A structured Interview schedule was administered to 30 postmenopausal women between the age group of 45 and 56 years using purposive sampling technique. Pre-test and post-test was conducted and data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results of the study revealed that there was a mean difference of 19.26 between the pre-test knowledge score and post-test knowledge score of post-menopausal women regarding osteoporosis. Highly significant difference (t=14.815, p<0.05) was found between pre-test and-test knowledge scores, hence, the structured teaching program was found to be effective in increasing the knowledge of post-menopausal women regarding osteoporosis.

The effectiveness of an osteoporosis prevention education programme for women in Hong Kong: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract: Osteoporosis was a serious health concern that most commonly affected women. As indicated by the results of this study, this educational programme can act as simple but effective nursing intervention to promote women's attitudinal and behavioural intentions towards osteoporosis-prevention.
