Download or read book Osteoporosis Prevention Program: Behavior Model and Exercise written by Maryam Jamshidian Tehrani and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osteoporosis is a common metabolic bone disease and although creates health problems mainly in older women, but the etiology of osteoporosis largely begins at a younger age. Therefore prevention of this disease is top on the agenda of many health initiatives worldwide. Improving knowledge, attitude and health behaviors is the first-line effective strategy for prevention. Thus in a community-based experimental study we evaluated the effectiveness of an educational osteoporosis program based on the Health Belief Model on knowledge, beliefs and practice (exercise)among a sample of Iranian young female. Participants in the intervention group were exposed to a three months educational program. Osteoporosis knowledge, health beliefs, and total time (min) and frequency of weight-bearing exercise in the past seven days were assessed at baseline, and at the end of three months follow up. This book indicates that an effectiveness osteoporosis educational program can help to improve Iranian young female knowledge, beliefs and regular exercise as a health prevention action for osteoporosis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to determine the level of osteoporosis knowledge, beliefs and behavior among college students. In addition, this study will examine perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers and self-efficacy related to osteoporosis prevention. Women and men of all ethnicities at the University of Central Arkansas were asked to participate in the study. The Osteoporosis Knowledge Test, Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale, Osteoporosis Self-Efficacy Scale, and Osteoporosis Preventing Behaviors Survey were utilized. Correlations were used to determine the degree of relationship between variables. After determining which independent variables were significant, a multiple regression was completed to determine prediction. Participants did not perceive themselves as susceptible to osteoporosis and perceived minimal barriers to physical activity and calcium intake. Their knowledge was minimal concerning alternate sources of calcium and less traditional forms of physical activity. Physical activity was correlated with perceived barriers, health motivation, and calcium intake. Calcium intake was correlated with perceived barriers, health motivation, and knowledge. Prevention programs should aim to increase osteoporosis knowledge of risk factors and preventing behaviors and to decrease high risk factor behaviors in adolescence when bone health can be increased. Health professionals can attempt to decrease perceived barriers to physical activity in college age individuals by providing comprehensive programs based on supported factors shown to influence behavior, including social support and self-efficacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Study Design: Pre-test/post-test control group research design to test the effectiveness of an osteoporosis educational in-service program with female high school students. Background: Peak bone mass and density occur at critical critical periods primarily during adolescence. Girls developmentally start off with a lesser peak bone mass than boys and suffer more osteoporosis consquences as adult women. Purpose: To determine if adolescent girls who participate in an in-service educational program about osteoporosis and bone density development will have improved knowledge about osteoporosis and improved confidence in health behaviors for bone density development as well as improved bone-health lifestyle behaviors compared to adolescents who do not participate in an in-service educational program. Methods and Measures: Eighty four girls from two high schools in a north eastern city school district participated. One school was randomly determined as the treatment and the other as the control group. Pretests on knowledge, self-efficacy, calcium intake, and previous day physical activity were collected in the treatment and control groups. Two to three days after the initial testing, an educational in-service program about osteoporosis and osteoporosis prevention was presented to the treatment group during a 50-minute class-time block. Time was allowed for planned discussion and a calcium-rich snack. No educational in-service program was given to control group participants. Approximately a week after the educational in-service, the four test instruments were again given to all students. The differential effects of intervention vs. no intervention were determined using 2 x 2 analyses of variance. Seven dependent variables from the four test instruments were analyzed. Results: 1) Significant differences were found for the main effect of time and the main effect of group on all measures of the Osteoporosis Knowledge Test: total scores, exercise subscale scores, and calcium subscale scores. The scores were much higher at posttest for the treatment group while posttest scores remained similar to pretest scores for the control group. 2) Scores for improved confidence for conducting activities related to osteoporosis prevention were encouraging. While there were no main effects for group or time of testing, there was a significant interaction of the two. The treatment group showed significantly greater increases for self-efficacy from pretest to posttest compared to participant scores in the control group. 3) Although the interaction analyses for the behavioral tests were also significant, both for calcium consumption and metabolic equivalent task (MET) values of physical activity, performance trends did not exhibit patterns like that of the OKT and OSES, and may be misleading. Conclusion: An osteoporosis educational in-service can significantly improve overall knowledge in high school girls as well as their confidence for exercising and calcium consumption; however, it is not clear that an educational in-service alone is an adequate intervention to change nutrition or exercise lifestyle behaviors.

Book Synopsis The Development and Effectiveness of an Osteoporosis Prevention Education Intervention by : Vu H. Nguyen
Download or read book The Development and Effectiveness of an Osteoporosis Prevention Education Intervention written by Vu H. Nguyen and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osteoporosis prevention education interventions intended to increase the osteoporosis preventive behaviors of weight-bearing physical activity and calcium consumption in young individuals have been found to be ineffective. An osteoporosis prevention education intervention was developed and modeled after an effective health threat prevention education intervention based on the health belief model, which emphasized the health threat's visible severity and proximal time of onset. To test its effectiveness, it was experimentally researched in a sample of 109 college women who were students in an undergraduate health education course, and were randomly assigned to either the treatment or a control group to receive the osteoporosis prevention education intervention or a stress management intervention, respectively. The treatment group did not positively alter their osteoporosis health beliefs or increase self-reported weight-bearing physical activity and calcium consumption compared to the control group. And the control group who received the stress management intervention showed a significant increase in health motivation while the treatment group who received the osteoporosis prevention education intervention did not. A probable reason is that due to the distal time of onset of osteoporosis, young individuals may not be concerned with modifying their behaviors to prevent the disease. Recommendations for future research and effective ways to promote weight-bearing physical activity and calcium consumption are provided.
Book Synopsis Bone Health and Osteoporosis by : United States Public Health Service
Download or read book Bone Health and Osteoporosis written by United States Public Health Service and published by . This book was released on 2004-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first-ever Surgeon General's Report on bone health and osteoporosis illustrates the large burden that bone disease places on our Nation and its citizens. Like other chronic diseases that disproportionately affect the elderly, the prevalence of bone disease and fractures is projected to increase markedly as the population ages. If these predictions come true, bone disease and fractures will have a tremendous negative impact on the future well-being of Americans. But as this report makes clear, they need not come true: by working together we can change the picture of aging in America. Osteoporosis, fractures, and other chronic diseases no longer should be thought of as an inevitable part of growing old. By focusing on prevention and lifestyle changes, including physical activity and nutrition, as well as early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, Americans can avoid much of the damaging impact of bone disease and other chronic diseases. This Surgeon General's Report brings together for the first time the scientific evidence related to the prevention, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of bone disease. More importantly, it provides a framework for moving forward. The report will be another effective tool in educating Americans about how they can promote bone health throughout their lives. This first-ever Surgeon General's Report on bone health and osteoporosis provides much needed information on bone health, an often overlooked aspect of physical health. This report follows in the tradition of previous Surgeon Generals' reports by identifying the relevant scientific data, rigorously evaluating and summarizing the evidence, and determining conclusions.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Health Behavior Research I by : David S. Gochman
Download or read book Handbook of Health Behavior Research I written by David S. Gochman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997-08-31 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of this Handbook is to provide statements about health behaviour research as a basic body of knowledge moving into the 21st century. It is expected that the Handbook will remain in use and current through 2005, at least. The Handbook presents a broad and representative selection of mid-1990s health behaviour findings and concepts in a single work. While texts and books of readings are available in related areas, such as health psychology, medical anthropology, medical sociology, behavioural health, behavioural risk factors, and changing health behaviours, none of these works was intended to address basic research-generated knowledge of health behaviour, and none was intended to transcend individual disciplines. Accordingly, none of these works presents a broad and representative spectrum of basic health behaviour research reflecting multidisciplinary activities. One work with a title identical to this one but for one word, the Handbook of Health Behaviour Change (Shumaker et al., 1990), deals almost exclusively with applications. This Handbook thus presents the reader with the "state of the art" in health behaviour research, something not found elsewhere.

This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 948 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiovascular, respiratory, and related conditions cause more than 40 percent of all deaths globally, and their substantial burden is rising, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Their burden extends well beyond health effects to include significant economic and societal consequences. Most of these conditions are related, share risk factors, and have common control measures at the clinical, population, and policy levels. Lives can be extended and improved when these diseases are prevented, detected, and managed. This volume summarizes current knowledge and presents evidence-based interventions that are effective, cost-effective, and scalable in LMICs.
