To examine personal characteristics and expanded health belief model (EHBM) constructs associated with the practice of osteoporosis-protective behaviors among a random sample of nontraditional college women.
A valid and reliable written mail questionnaire assessing osteoporosis knowledge, EHBM constructs, weight-bearing exercise (EX), and dietary calcium intake (CA) was completed by 273 women.
A high proportion of women did not meet current guidelines for EX (50.7%) or CA (67.8%). Exercise self-efficacy and barriers to exercise were the best predictors of overall EX and CA behaviors.
The EHBM was useful in predicting EX and CA.
在非传统大学女性的随机样本中,研究与骨质疏松症预防行为实践相关的个人特征和扩展健康信念模型(EHBM)结构。
273名女性完成了一份有效且可靠的书面邮寄问卷,该问卷评估骨质疏松症知识、EHBM结构、负重运动(EX)和膳食钙摄入量(CA)。
很大比例的女性未达到当前关于EX(50.7%)或CA(67.8%)的指南建议。运动自我效能和运动障碍是总体EX和CA行为的最佳预测因素。
EHBM在预测EX和CA方面是有用的。
