Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: To evaluate the management and awareness of osteoporosis based on general characteristics, problems, and menopausal status.
Methods: Two hundred twenty women were recruited from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of a university hospital between January 2010 and December 2010. The participants completed self-questionnaires about the management of osteoporosis. We determined the correlation of the management of osteoporosis between pre- and post-menopausal women using ANOVA with SPSS version 12.0K (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).
Results: The mean age was 52.5 ± 9.4 years (range, 43~83 years). One hundred twenty-four women were postmenopausal (56.1%). Postmenopausal women were statistically more likely to have examinations for osteoporosis, and take calcium and engage in exercise to prevent osteoporosis.
Conclusion: It is necessary to educate and counsel premenopausal women and patients at high-risk for fracture about the management of osteoporosis.
