“…The positive effect of interventions on teachers [ 47 ] as well as combined programs (supplement consumption and physical activity) based on HBM [ 48 ] has been proven. Various studies have also confirmed the positive effect of HBM-based interventions [ 49 , 50 ] and the effect of multimodal interventions on reducing pain in the elderly [ 51 ]. The current study might provide similar findings.…”

Background Due to the burden of musculoskeletal diseases in the elderly and the multifactorial nature of such conditions, controlling the pain caused by these disorders requires multidisciplinary approach. This approach requires the participation of the elderly in applying effective prevention measures. This study aims to design a multidisciplinary educational intervention based on health belief model (HBM) for elderly residents of nursing homes. Methods This is a parallel randomized clinical trial among elderly people aged 60 years and over living in a nursing home who suffer from musculoskeletal pain. Eligible participants will be divided into two groups including the intervention group who will receive a multidisciplinary intervention (vitamin D consumption, psycho-social stress management, and physiotherapy) and the control group who will receive usual care. Data collection instruments will include demographic data, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS), the visual analogue scale (VAS), and a self-designed questionnaire containing the HBM constructs. The interventions will be carried out by the educational team (general practitioner, psychologist, physiotherapist, and health education specialist). Interventions include changing the wrong beliefs of the elderly, taking 800 units of vitamin D daily, daily walking exercise by the elderly for at least 30 min and maintaining proper body posture during daily activities, muscle relaxation, relaxation techniques, regular exercise, examining their diet and eliminating stimulants (such as smoking and coffee), regular visits with friends and family, and deep breathing techniques. All questionnaires will be completed by the elderly before, after, 3, and 6 months after the intervention. Discussion The present study will evaluate the effect of an educational intervention based on a multifaceted pain control approach for elderly people who reside in nursing homes in order to reduce musculoskeletal pain in the elderly living in nursing homes. One of the features of this study is its focus on improving the health of elderly residents in nursing homes. Given the increase in the elderly population worldwide, the findings from the current trial might benefit elderly populations. Trial registration IRCT20220904055881N1.

“…Furthermore, Elgzar et al found that knowledge and health beliefs related to osteoporosis were significantly associated with OPB among premenopausal women. They further added that perceived susceptibility, perceived seriousness, exercises’ perceived benefits, and health motivations are positive predictors of high OPB [ 16 ]. Finally, Blalock et al found knowledge and attitude as positive predictors for calcium and exercise among the premenopausal [ 56 ].…”

“…For coding, the right answer scored "1", and the wrong answer scored "0" The overall scale score ranges from 0 to 20, with a higher score demonstrating higher knowledge regarding osteoporosis. The total score of the participant was used to determine whether their knowledge was unsatisfactory (0-12) or satisfactory (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). The Arabic version of OKAT had good internal consistency (r = 0.824) [29].…”

“…Modifiable lifestyle factors include poor dietary habits, smoking and Alcohol, and sedentary life, while non-modifiable factors include age, genetics, and race. It is important to increase bone density during childhood and adolescence, maintain bone mass during the adult period, and minimize bone loss in older age to prevent or reduce the severity of osteoporosis [ 16 , 17 ]. While osteoporosis can impact both genders, it is more prevalent in women, with 80% of cases affecting them.…”

Osteoporosis is a chronic bone disease affecting both men and women, but it is more prevalent in women. Promoting a healthy lifestyle among adults, particularly women, is crucial in preventing and reducing the osteoporosis impact. This study aimed to compare the osteoporosis knowledge, health beliefs and preventive behaviors among adult male and female in Najran city Saudi Arabia. This cross-sectional study was performed on 516 males and 581 females in Najran City, Saudi Arabia, from January to April 2023. The data collection instrument is a self-reported online questionnaire consisting of basic data, the Osteoporosis Preventive Behavior (OPB) scale, the osteoporosis knowledge assessment tool, and the osteoporosis health belief scale. The results revealed that male participants had a higher OPB (26.70) than females (20.32). However, females have a higher knowledge (10.71), perceive themselves as more susceptible to osteoporosis (20.34) and had higher exercise barriers (20.11) compared to males (9.97, 18.79 and 19.20, respectively). Statistically significant correlations (p < 0.001) were observed between OPB, osteoporosis knowledge (r = 0.26), perceived susceptibility (r = 0.33), severity (r = 0.53), exercise (r = 0.54) and calcium (r = 0.33) benefits, exercise (r = 0.40) and calcium (r = 0.81) barriers and health motivation (r = 0.37). The study concluded significant disparities between males and females regarding osteoporosis-related knowledge, preventive behaviors, perceived susceptibility, severity, and exercise perceived barriers. The results suggest gender-based educational interventions to enhance OPB by addressing osteoporosis-related knowledge, perceived susceptibility, seriousness, benefits, and health motivation.

Background: Osteoporosis prevention at perimenpauseal period is crucial to diminish the risk of the disease and its complication in later years of life. Having good osteoporosis knowledge and positive health belief may lead to better preventive behavior which then contributes to build and maintain bone health throughout life. Aim of the study was to assess preventive health behavior and osteoporosis prediction among perimenopausal women. Study design: An analytical cross-sectional study was used. Setting: The current study was conducted at obstetrics and gynecologic clinic at the Zagazig university hospital's outpatient clinic. Sample size: A purposive of 153 women with inclusion criteria of per-menopausal women age ranged between 35-45 years. Five tools were used to collect the necessary data: an interview questionnaire Osteoporosis Knowledge Assessment, Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale Osteoporosis prevention behaviors Physiological measurement tool for the prediction of osteoporosis. Based on the present study Results 31.8% of study subject have osteopenia and 5.9% have osteoporosis, 21.3 % of the studied women had satisfactory level of total knowledge, 59.1% of study subjects had positive attitude and 59.1% had low level of preventative health behavior. Conclusion and recommendation: More than one third of study participants have osteopenia and less than ten percent have osteoporosis and more than half had low levels of preventative health behavior. The need for enhancement of the knowledge, attitudes, and osteoporosis protective behaviors of women in early age especially perimenopausal period. Emphasize the importance of routine measurement of BMD and serum calcium level every year for all pre and postmenopausal women.
