To describe osteoporosis health beliefs, osteoporosis risk factors, and lifestyle habits that affect bone health in men.
Data were collected from 272 men using the Bone Health in Men questionnaire.
The majority of participants reported that they were unlikely to develop osteoporosis, that osteoporosis in men is less serious than in women, and that osteoporosis is preventable. Few osteoporosis risk factors were reported. The lifestyle habits reported were below the suggested recommendations.
Increasing men's awareness of osteoporosis risk factors, changing their beliefs, and encouraging them to adopt healthy lifestyle habits are necessary strategies to promote bone health.
描述男性对骨质疏松症的健康认知、骨质疏松症风险因素以及影响骨骼健康的生活习惯。
使用男性骨骼健康问卷对272名男性进行数据收集。
大多数参与者表示他们不太可能患骨质疏松症，男性骨质疏松症不如女性严重，且骨质疏松症是可预防的。报告的骨质疏松症风险因素较少。所报告的生活习惯低于建议水平。
提高男性对骨质疏松症风险因素的认识、改变他们的认知并鼓励他们养成健康的生活习惯是促进骨骼健康的必要策略。
