“…In a study of Vahedian-Shahroodi et al (2016), after educational intervention, subjects showed significant differences in knowledge, perceived severity, perceived self-efficacy, cues to action, perceived benefits, and calcium intake, whereas they showed no significant differences in perceived susceptibility, perceived barriers, and physical activity. In other similar studies, educational intervention caused the improvement of subjects' performance in osteoporosis prevention (Bhurosy & Jeewon, 2013;Brecher et al, 2002;Chan, Ko, & Day, 2005;Kalkım & Dağhan, 2017;Oh et al, 2014;Zong & Duan, 2014). In the current study, 1 year after intervention, the intervention group indicated significant improvement in the T-Score of bone density in lumbar spine and thighs, whereas in the control group the mentioned factor was reduced, indicating the effect of educational intervention based on PRECEDE pattern on prevention behaviors from osteoporosis and promotion of bone density of studied women in the intervention group.…”
