“…[29][30][31]. Other factors positively influencing bone health include avoidance of cigarette and excessive alcohol consumption, prevention of falls, and maintaining body weight within normal range (especially not excessively low) [32][33][34]. The observed differences among the aforementioned research indicate the need to seek new ways to translate knowledge about osteoporosis into prophylaxis.…”

Introduction:The aim of the study was to establish the influence of knowledge of osteoporosis and educational level on bone health. Material and methods:The study group consisted of 351 women, aged 50-88 years (mean 66.3 ± 8.6). None of them had had any previous personal experience with osteoporosis diagnosis and treatment. They filled in a questionnaire consisting of 10 questions assessing their knowledge about osteoporosis. All of them underwent femoral neck densitometry (GE Lunar, USA). Results:The mean score in the knowledge questionnaire was 7.4 ± 1.6 points (range 2-10). The lowest percentage of correct answers was observed in the sentences regarding the possibility of successful cure of osteoporosis and the role of physical activity in osteoporosis treatment. The mean score in the osteoporosis questionnaire correlated negatively with the age of the participants (r = -0.2, p < 0.05) and was better among patients with higher educational degree (8.2 vs. 6.4 points, p < 0.001). Both the educational degree and the level of knowledge of osteoporosis correlated with bone mineral density (BMD) and T-score. Conclusions: Elderly and less educated women showed lower levels of knowledge about osteoporosis and its consequences. The study suggests that bone health in postmenopausal women may be indirectly improved by education concerning osteoporosis and its prevention.

“…Moderate to vigorous exercise for more than 20 min per day increases the trabecular bone score, total hip, and femoral neck T-score. Women aged 50 or older who engage in 30 min of daily exercises instead of sitting can increase BMD by about 3 mg/cm 2 and reduce the risk of spinal osteoporosis by about 12% [32] .…”

While osteoporosis is a chronic disease caused by multiple factors, it is also a risk factor for fractures. At present, numerous risk factors for osteoporosis and secondary fractures have been identified, including sunlight, physical fitness, gender, age, trauma, dietary habits, tobacco, alcohol, drugs, air quality, and genetics. Despite that factors such as long winters, short daylight hours, less daily physical activity, air pollution, low calcium and high salt diet, and sedentary lifestyle could negatively impact the bones of residents in the alpine regions of northern China, the direct effect of low-temperature stimulation on bone growth and development remains unclear. In this study, by reviewing current research progress related to osteoporosis and fracture risk in northern China, we proposed appropriate preventive measures for different risk factors to reduce the occurrence of osteoporosis and fracture in cold areas of northern China.

“…The relationship between bone health and healthy lifestyles has been previously discussed. Positive effects of physical activity and negative effects of alcohol abuse and cigarette smoking on bone health were revealed (Sheng et al, 2021). Physical exercise is significantly associated with both higher BMD (bone mineral density) and better microarchitecture of bone (Gabel et al, 2017).…”

ObjectivesThis study investigates the relationships between the COVID‐19 pandemic, lifestyle factors, and their impact on bone mineral density in the radius forearm bone and the total bone mineral content in young adults from Slovakia.MethodsWe assessed 773 Slovak young adults aged 18 to 30 years, divided into subgroups on their pandemic status. Bone mineral density (BMD) was analyzed by the QUS device (Sunlight MiniOmni™), and bone mineral content (BMC) and fat mass (FM) were measured by InBody 770 bioimpedance analyzer. Finally, linear regression analysis tested the associations.ResultsStatistically significant lower speed of sound (SOS) along the length of the forearm radius bone and Z‐score values was determined in participants during the COVID‐19 pandemic than before it, and statistically significant lower BMC values were observed in the male group during COVID‐19 than beforehand. Regression analysis confirmed the negative pandemic effect in the following indices: SOS (p < .001 for women and p = .035 for men), Z‐score (p < .001 for women and p = .003 for men), and BMC (p = .024 for men). Vitamin D was a further significant SOS predictor in women at p = .029, but this association was not detected in men. In contrast, the significant male BMC predictors were pandemic presence (p = .028), physical activity (p = .028), and fat mass percentage (p = .001).ConclusionsSignificant COVID‐19 pandemic effects on bone tissue were determined on bone mass density in the radius forearm bone and the total bone mineral content. These effects establish that the pandemic had a negative impact on both their bone quality and health.
