OBJECTIVE
To examine demographic characteristics, knowledge, and attitudes of adolescents on osteoprotective practices in Taichung City, Taiwan.
METHODS
Using convenience sampling, 329 students from randomly selected high schools and colleges were recruited to respond to a 58-item questionnaire.
RESULTS
Adolescents had significantly higher overall osteoprotective behavior practice scores than those of young adults (P<0.001). Those self-described as healthy had significantly higher osteoprotective behavior scores. Younger participants had significantly higher scores regarding osteoprotective behaviors.
CONCLUSIONS
Young people in Taiwan have moderate knowledge about osteoporosis and do practice osteoprotective behaviors, but infrequently. Osteoporosis knowledge and attitudes are not associated with osteoprotective behaviors.
目的
探讨台湾台中市青少年在骨保护措施方面的人口统计学特征、知识水平和态度。
方法
采用便利抽样法，从随机选取的高中和大学中招募了329名学生，让他们回答一份包含58个条目的问卷。
结果
青少年的总体骨保护行为实践得分显著高于年轻人（P<0.001）。那些自称健康的人骨保护行为得分显著更高。较年轻的参与者在骨保护行为方面得分显著更高。
结论
台湾的年轻人对骨质疏松症有一定的了解，并且确实会采取骨保护行为，但频率不高。骨质疏松症的知识和态度与骨保护行为无关。
