Abstract

Osteoporosis is a common silent disease in older adults presenting with fragility fractures. Lifestyle modifications may be an imperative strategy to minimize the increase of either osteoporosis or osteoporosis-related fractures. Targeted education is one way to promote osteoporosis preventive behaviors. Our aim of this study was to test the feasibility of the Join the Movement to Have Healthy Bone Project (JHBP) that was developed on osteoporosis preventive behaviors for Thai older women. By succeeding in making appropriate lifestyle changes, these women ultimately may reduce the risk of osteoporosis or fractures in later life.
