Summary
Critical determinants of bone health are genetics, diet and physical activity. Women face challenges to the modifiable risk factors. Young women, who have not completed bone mineral deposition, often don’t meet the dietary recommendations. Post-menopausal women, who have marked bone loss, often don’t meet the calcium recommendations, which are higher for this age group, and physical activity recommendations. Others have found knowledge of osteoporosis differs between young and older women. This study investigated women's knowledge about osteoporosis at two life stages important for bone health
