Risk behaviors and hormone use place transgender individuals (TIs) in jeopardy for osteoporosis.
The purpose of this study was to expand the science about the knowledge, health beliefs, and osteoporosis (OP) preventing behaviors of TIs.
This was a mixed-methods pilot study of a convenience sample of 31 TIs 30 years and older. Participants completed an online Osteoporosis Bone Health Survey. Fifteen participants were randomly selected for an interview to describe their perceptions of bone health.
Transgender individuals performed poorly on the knowledge measure. There were no significant findings for osteoporosis health beliefs. Participants' daily dietary dairy calcium intake was 800 mg and daily walking activity was 17 minutes. Perceptions of bone health revealed two essential elements, knowing and doing.
Determining TIs' bone health perception is important because of their unique healthcare issues. Healthcare providers need to be aware of TIs' bone health needs to help enhance TIs' OP knowledge, health beliefs, and preventing behaviors.
风险行为和激素使用使跨性别者面临骨质疏松的风险。
本研究的目的是拓展关于跨性别者的知识、健康观念以及预防骨质疏松行为的科学认识。
这是一项对31名30岁及以上跨性别者的便利样本进行的混合方法试点研究。参与者完成了一项在线骨质疏松骨骼健康调查。随机选择15名参与者进行访谈,以描述他们对骨骼健康的看法。
跨性别者在知识测试中的表现较差。在骨质疏松健康观念方面没有显著发现。参与者每日膳食中钙的摄入量为800毫克,每日步行活动时间为17分钟。对骨骼健康的看法揭示了两个关键要素,即知晓和行动。
鉴于跨性别者独特的医疗保健问题,确定他们对骨骼健康的认知很重要。医疗保健提供者需要了解跨性别者的骨骼健康需求,以帮助增强他们的骨质疏松知识、健康观念和预防行为。
