Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the impact of comprehensive intervention mode on osteoporosis related knowledge and behavior among city residents aged over 40-year-old and to provide reference for osteoporosis prevention and treatment. Methods Health education including self-management of osteoporosis was conducted among Chongqing city residents aged over 40-year-old for 4 consecutive months.All the subjects were asked to fill out the questionnaire during face-to-face interview before and after the intervention.The changes in knowledge and daily life style were tested by Chi-square test. Results The residents surveyed were 2 028 before the intervention and 1 986 after the intervention.After the intervention, the proportion of awareness was significantly higher (P < 0.01) than that before the intervention in the following: features of osteoporosis(33.23% vs 18.49%), sensitive population of osteoporosis(10.52% vs 3.75%), balanced diet to prevent osteoporosis (23.82% vs 11.09%), bone health supplements (51.06% vs 32.84%), recommended daily calcium intake for postmenopausal women and older people (34.89% vs 13.91%).After the intervention, the proportions of residents who never drink milk and its products, and never eat beans and their products were decreased significantly (13.49% vs 23.09%, and 4.94% vs 7.00%, P < 0.01).The proportion of residents who take average more than 30 minutes daily outdoor activity under sunlight was increased significantly after the intervention (64.25% vs 59.27%, P < 0.01).The proportion of residents preferring salty food was decreased significantly after the intervention (8.26% vs 14.89%, P < 0.01). Conclusion The comprehensive intervention mode of health education in combination with traditional and new media as well as health self-management is a cost-effective prevention measure for osteoporosis, which can improve the osteoporosis cognitive level of middle-aged and senile people and the development of good behavior.
