The relation of exercise habits of 113 female college students to their knowledge about osteoporosis and their health beliefs was investigated, using the health belief model to determine why some people participate in self-care preventive actions but others do not. Age was positively correlated with the level of osteoporosis knowledge, awareness of personal susceptibility, and motivation for general health behaviors. Older participants, however, perceived more barriers to exercise as an osteoporosis-prevention measure than did the younger respondents. The authors' conclusions support the importance of early osteoporosis education and lifetime physical activities to prevent osteoporosis.
研究了113名女大学生的运动习惯与其骨质疏松知识及健康信念之间的关系，运用健康信念模型来确定为何有些人会采取自我保健预防措施而另一些人则不会。年龄与骨质疏松知识水平、个人易感性意识以及一般健康行为动机呈正相关。然而，与年轻受访者相比，年龄较大的参与者认为将运动作为预防骨质疏松的措施存在更多障碍。作者的结论支持了早期骨质疏松教育和终身体育活动对预防骨质疏松的重要性。
