New study tests if teaching women about bone health can prevent osteoporosis

This study aims to see if a structured education program based on the Health Belief Model can improve osteoporosis awareness and health beliefs in women aged 45 and older who have at least one risk factor for the disease. About 74 women will be randomly assigned to either receive the education or no education, and their knowledge and beliefs will be measured before and after. The goal is to understand if such education can motivate women to take steps to protect their bones.
