To compare awareness of osteoporosis and its associated risks among working women and housewives.
This cross-sectional study was conducted at Karachi University and Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi, from January to April 2015, and comprised working women and housewives who were enrolled using convenience sampling. Data was collected on awareness, dairy, fruit, vegetable, poultry/fish consumption as well as exercise, diagnosis and treatment taken for deficiency of vitamin D. Weight, height and body mass index were noted. Analysis was done using SPSS 17.
Of the 600 participants, 300(50%) were housewives and 300(50%) were working women. Significant differences were observed in marriage years, number of children and income (p <0.05). Body mass index of groups demonstrated that more working women were within normal range weight than housewives (p<0.05). Fewer housewives had awareness about osteoporosis and the majority of them had a sedentary lifestyle (p<0.001). More housewives were diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency and were prescribed for treatment (p<0.001). Dairy and vegetable consumption was found comparable while fruits and poultry/ fish intake was better in working women (p<0.05). Since the subjects in both groups had no regular exercise programme, therefore the overall results were insignificant (p>0.05).
Greater number of working women had awareness of osteoporosis.
比较职业女性和家庭主妇对骨质疏松症及其相关风险的认知情况。
本横断面研究于2015年1月至4月在卡拉奇大学和卡拉奇道健康科学大学进行，纳入的职业女性和家庭主妇采用方便抽样法选取。收集了关于认知情况、乳制品、水果、蔬菜、家禽/鱼类消费以及维生素D缺乏的运动、诊断和治疗的数据。记录了体重、身高和体重指数。使用SPSS 17进行分析。
600名参与者中，300名（50%）为家庭主妇，300名（50%）为职业女性。在结婚年限、子女数量和收入方面观察到显著差异（p<0.05）。两组的体重指数表明，体重在正常范围内的职业女性比家庭主妇更多（p<0.05）。了解骨质疏松症的家庭主妇较少，且她们中的大多数人生活方式久坐不动（p<0.001）。被诊断为维生素D缺乏并接受治疗的家庭主妇更多（p<0.001）。发现两组的乳制品和蔬菜消费量相当，而职业女性的水果和家禽/鱼类摄入量更好（p<0.05）。由于两组受试者均无规律的锻炼计划，因此总体结果无统计学意义（p>0.05）。
更多的职业女性了解骨质疏松症。
